Auto-Tune, or autotune, is an audio processor introduced in 1997 by the American company Antares Audio Technologies.[1][4] It uses a proprietary device to measure and alter pitch in vocal and instrumental music recording and performances.[5]
Auto-Tune was originally intended to disguise or correct off-key inaccuracies, allowing vocal tracks to be perfectly tuned. 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."[6]
In its role distorting vocals, Auto-Tune operates on different principles from the vocoder or talk box and produces different results.[7]
