I hadn't thought of it that way. Still, though - (trying to draw a parallel, here) - guitarists tune their instruments before laying down a track. Aside from effects use, I wouldn't expect someone like Al Di Meola to use auto-tune. You know what I mean? Interesting perspective. I hadn’t thought of it that way.

This took me a bit by surprise. Is tuning used in a capella recording production to correct mistakes? I guess what I'm hoping is that lead vocals or solo parts are not tuned in the production process, and that any mistakes made are rerecorded. Isn't that what the art of singing is all about? I'm not saying that everyone needs perfect pitch or that tuning effects don't have their place, but I guess I just assumed that the lead tracks in a capella recording would remain...what's the best word...honest?
