Hi Kev

What a cool post and graphic picture
Great advise given here... Especially just considering what your needs are and what the songs are like and where there coming from.

First off there's is VERY little difference between the two from what I heard and that's a GOOD thing...

The thing about these auto tune devices I noticed is they work best for me when you cant detect them easily. Unlike the use of them on purpose as an effect in every single thing I hear today, as it has replaced reverb as the #1 effect on a voice.

On this song listening back it's close so therefore I WOULD USE it... instead of going the other way and not using it.
If it made any word or line to whacky sounding then I would avoid it.

The key is sometimes just use it on a word here or there, like a long note at the end of a chorus or just a few words that seem pitchy here and there. Don't run it over the whole track.

Seems to me the better you get at singing the less you need it and the better it sounds sonically when you do.
