The basic method for pitch detection is the same as in Autotalent. Some refinements are added: interpolation of autocorrelation peaks (improves accuracy a lot, in particular at higher pitches), some logic in the determination of the current note, and whatever it takes to make things work correctly at all sample rates between 44.1 and 192 kHz. The resampling is completely different - I never managed to grok how Autotalent does it. But whatever it does has some problems, just look at the spectrum of a 1 kHz tone 'retuned' to 987.7 Hz. Resampling is done by linear interpolation, at 44.1 and 48 kHz this is done on the signal upsampled to twice the original rate. It would be relatively easy to improve this further, but I don't think it would matter much. You'll find some comments on the algorithm used in retuner.cc. The computation of the required correction could be improved a lot by making the algorithm look ahead a few seconds. Of course this would mean off-line processing, e.g. operating on an Ardour region. Another improvement would be formant estimation and correction, for an off-line algorithm that would be relatively easy.
