I have a little experience with the recording process, having been involved in the production of a contemporary a cappella album, and I think most people wouldn't believe how much stuff is auto-tuned. To my ear, if you listen to something like the Pitch Perfect soundtrack, a lot of it sounds quite obviously pitch corrected, but I will play it to musical friends and they are often surprised when I tell them there's some serious auto-tune going on.
Outside of the a cappella domain, I believe it's pretty prominent in most pop music, but my understanding is that the technology's gotten to the point where 95% of the time you can't tell apart machine correction from good tuning of the vocalist.
- Splines 9y agoIt's like CGI in movies - when it's done well you don't realize that it's being done at all.

- copperx 9y agoTrue. Inserting anything that doesn't exist in the first place, like a plane, train, animal, or monster is incredibly jarring for even the most casual movie watcher. It's a bit sad that we can't create convincing things out of thin air using CGI in 2017.
