I gave AutoTune at SubCat Studios in Skaneateles, NY fits. Not because I can't sing in tune but because, at the time, AutoTune had trouble with yodelling.

We found it to be a valuable learning and teaching tool. I was good to have a visual representation of where you were pitch wise when you thought you were bang on. If three voices were 2 cents flat and a fourt voice was 2 cents sharp there was an obvious issue. But if every one was a little flat against the untunables; banjo, fiddle and drums, it was not a big issue.

In the studio or in rehearsal I have not big issue with AutoTune. In performance is another story. Listen to the harmonys of The Sons of the Pioneers from the thirties and you hear some incredible work. Talent is what it takes, not technology.
