Auto-Tune - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It can be used as an effect, or it can be used to correct the pitch of a singer who can't really sing. It has been standard issue in the studio since the 90's, and many famous pop stars are auto tuned both in the studio and live because they can't carry a tune in a bucket.
It is especially useful for groups that are doing multiple part harmonies. If you listen to current CSN (which isn't autotuned) it can be fairly horrific as Crosby doesn't really have it any more. I don't know if the Eagles use it in the studio or live, but a lot of people do. I don't have a problem with it as an effect, I do think it is disingenuous to use it as a crutch. We're actually going to do a demo of this in my TEDx talk.
