Auto-Tune (or autotune) is an audio processor introduced in 1997 by Antares
Audio Technologies.
Auto-Tune uses a proprietary device to measure and alter pitch in vocal and
instrumental music recording and performances.
Auto-Tune was originally intended to disguise or correct off-key inaccuracies,
allowing vocal tracks to be perfectly tuned despite originally being slightly
off-pitch.
The 1998 Cher song "Believe" popularized the technique of using Auto-Tune to
distort vocals.
In 2018, the music critic Simon Reynolds observed that Auto-Tune had
"revolutionized popular music", calling its use for effects "the fad that just
wouldn't fade.
Its use is now more entrenched than ever."
In its role distorting vocals, Auto-Tune operates on different principles from
the vocoder or talk box and produces different results.
