Hey, don't knock Auto-Tune ... saved many a take in the studio, and the

Nova on PBS had a segment with the guy who invented Auto-Tune last
evening. Nothing new, just sad to once again see how this culture will
abuse anything it gets its hands on.

When Cher came out with it swinging, I thought it was kinda
cool,,,once.
Then Kid Rock was all over it.
Now I can't stand the sound of it.
You are not supposed to hear it!!!!!

Without it, there would not be a Celine Dion. Fact: she can't carry a
tune or hit a note if her life depended on it.

Agreed. I used it sparingly mixing in the studio to save an otherwise
outstanding take where you couldn't comp the vocal for some reason ...
maybe just pulling one or two suspect notes into tune ... the kind of
off pitch note that no one could agree whether it was really off or not,
particularly with I, III, V harmony parts

I probably used it most often on upright bass to correct intonation
problems due to both the instrument, and the player. A lot of jazz
bassist, even the well known ones, simply do not play in tune, ever!

Of course, this was all done in mix down ... I, and any musician I know
worthy of the name, wouldn't waste time playing with anyone who had to
use it live ... there are too many talented people around that will
waste your time equally well.
