Has anyone ever tried to do the Cher effect with -just- an autotune  
type plugin?  If you had you'll notice that it will give you the  
timbre but not the smooth pitch control. Any voice performance will  
have autotune jumping all over the place with way unacceptable pitch  
artifacts. I've seen the SOS update to the interview (thanks for  
pointing that out) and I reckon this is still not the full story.  
They lied once...

Based on my own experiments it's either not autotune at all or it's  
autotune in conjunction with a vocoder.

Just because it's up at SOS doesn't make it 100% true. In fact the - 
original- interview has errors, which were then "apparently"  
corrected. And don't think I'm bashing SOS because I'm a subscriber  
and think it's one of the better of it's kind out there...

Also just to keep the record straight it was a Digitech Talker  
mentioned in the article not the Vocalist.

Kind regards
