Antares autotune 'tunes' out of tune sounds - it has been used as an effect but is also the number 1 criminal in propping up bands where people look trendy but can't actually sing in tune. When you get used to its distinct sound you can recognise it on a lot of chart records. I used a friends copy on a guitar line once & it made it sound really 'sweet' - it was actually a very nice sound, you can add a certain amount of vibrato too. I'd love it on Linux - it can be like sprinkling fairy dust on a take - but it does raise aesthetic/ethical issues about music as a result of ones ability versus music as a result of ones vision.
