Autotune
Autotune is pitch-correction processing used to adjust or stylise vocal or instrumental tuning.
Also called: Pitch correction
Level relevance: introduced at Higher; tagged for every later level where the same concept remains useful.
Explanation
Autotune can be used subtly to correct small tuning issues or creatively to produce an obvious pitch-corrected effect. The musical result depends on settings such as scale, correction speed, and how naturally the original performance was recorded.
