Protools is a set of hardware and/or software which you use with a
computer to make a digital recording/editing workstation. Protools is
huge for the most part because of the hardware they have available that
does much of the hard work, so more of the computer's power is free'd up
for other tasks. You can also get (much) cheaper version for
home/project studio use. Protools has many competitors on the hardware
and software side. Depending on the parts you pick for the computer,
sound card, software, etc. - you can get a pretty wicked 24+ track
recording studio for about $5000.
Autotune is an effect you buy as hardware, which you would connect to
your mixing board like a compressor or a reverb or whatever. It also
comes as a plug-in, which is the brains of the effect in software form,
that connects to the virtual mixing board on a computer with either
protools or a competing product installed.
