Antares is what John McCutcheon calls the "pitch bitch". I think it may help on some
recordings but overuse sounds unnatural and mechanical.

Auto-tune was a funny when The Gregory Brothers used it on Katie Couric's speeches
and others. It was great political satire.

Like any sound technology, it has to do with how it's used.

My old arranging teacher used to say, "The effect of any musical device is
inversely proportional to the amount of its usage".

Translation: over tech use can hurt a performance.
