Antares'
wildly popular automatic tuning plugin AutoTune is now available in
Audio Unit form, meaning you're no longer reliant on Pro Tools to run
it — Logic, DP, GarageBand, Live, etc. are all fair game on the Mac.
(Antares has ensured compatibility with Apple's validators.)

Great news for native audio, etc., etc. (I'm trying to be upbeat here,
really.) Sure, for people like me the sound of AutoTune is like nails
on a chalkboard, bane of my existence, one of my least favorite things.
So . . . uh . . . please go buy this thing and wildly misuse it, okay?
THAT, in fact, sounds very cool — if Logic just emptied your wallet
and you can't afford AutoTune, try Logic's own Pitch Corrector. There
are some unique distortions possible other than the
most-annoying-of-all 'Cher Effect.' It's best if you don't know what
you're doing and abuse the controls with reckless abandon. Fight the
power.
[Ed: Gee, Don, I don't know why you're being so negative about the
wonders of AutoTune, but welcome to the CDM team and thanks for this
report.]
