Actually it's never really just ProTools. It's Antares Autotune. This
device comes as either a rackmount unit or as a plug-in. It can be
used in ProTools, Logic, Soundforge, Digital Performer and a mess of
other DAW formats. ProTools, for some reason, is seen as the industry
standard. The rackmount standalone unit can be used in any recording
format.
Let It Be... Naked is a prime example of Autotune in use. Cher's
"Believe" is Autotune gone way crazy wrong.
I use it all the time - for good and evil. Mostly on MOR R&B stuff or
on someone who, let's face it, ain't gonna sing it any better. It's
actually quite hard to use and make it sound natural and few folks
can do it tranparently. I sure as heck ain't no expert on it. I
generally just correct the offending passage or even single note and
almost never run it continuously on a vocal track for a mixdown. It
works wonders on drunk fiddle players and fretless bass.
