Take a look at Digitech's Vocalist Live series processors or
TC-Helicon's VoiceLive series along with the Boss RC-30 Loop Station.

Hmmm. I had never heard of auto-tune. Not too surprising actually as
I am not a big audiophile. So I went to Wikipedia to find out what
the %#&&%@ you all were talking about. "Very interesting..."

It seems to me that the next big technological revolution will be
auto-synch. Singers can do their auto-tuned songs in their recording
studios, and then they can do a perfect lip synch on stage, with
auto-synch making real-time corrections to their appearance in order
to maintain proper vocal/visual synch. Might be ok with broadcast
performances, might be trick kin a Live setting. Even better would be
some implants in the jaws and mouth, computer controlled, responsive
to the piped in sounds the singers are supposed to be making as they
pretend to sing.

Thanks for that, John. I've been debating whether to jump in on the
Auto-Tune issue, but since I've spent the last 15 years as the
marketing guy for the company that invented and markets Auto-Tune,
I was concerned that it might come off as a bit defensive.
Suffice it to say that while it's largely come to popular attention
outside the recording industry as a result of its use as an effect,
first in pop music back in the the Cher "Believe" days, and more
recently in hip hop (and then everything), for every song that you
hear using it as an effect, there's probably a hundred more that
use it for its initially intended purpose where its use is entirely
inaudible. And I can tell you that it's *not* just for the vocally
challenged. It's used by many extremely talented vocalists, some in
musical genres far from pop music. (And as a bonus, it gave me the
entirely unexpected opportunity to be quoted in New York Times
responding to Jay-Z:

The arts in general are due for a reckoning of some sort.
People can only stand so much auto-tune in their music, and
so many Instagram filters in their images, so many cinematic
"reboots" of 20-year-old movies before they start longing for
something more.
Trouble is, the current generation is growing up to only know
Autotune, Instagram and movie reboots.
I went to see The Hobbit yesterday and saw a poster for a
Robocop reboot. At this rate I'm going to pack up and run away
to live as a hermit on the west coast :(

When applied lightly, with a deft hand, Autotune can be a
lifesaver ... or at least can save a less than perfect vocal
performance. Everyone gets all wrapped around the axle over the
way it's misused & ignore the benefits it can have for the
vocally challenged among us.
