The real art in autotuning is being able to realize when it is necessary. It's an emotion to accuracy ratio that requires a big vision to fully realize. I have no problem using autotune to "save" an an otherwise spine-tingling performance. But some things require a punch or another take. I find it depends a lot on the confidence of your singer.... if they hit a bad note but "stick it" then autotune works magic. If they are not confident of what they are singing and warble their attacks, autotune can not help. Pitch and timing I can deal with in small degrees.... intention, emotion, and the resulting phrasing are something beyond the engineer.
