Hey Guys,
It depends what the intention is; creatively. Meaning if the producer is interested in using autotune (or melodyne) as a trick effect or hooky sound for the song, that's a choice he's made; i.e. Lil Wayne, Kanye. In those cases the producer most likely adds it him/herself. And I mix the track they send.
If I'm sent a vocal that mostly well performed and has a couple spots that needs attention, I'll do that myself. I have been sent vocals that were so bad they were in a different key, those i send back to the producer to hire someone to tune for a couple days or the vocalist to re-sing.
I don't think we need to make comments about the aesthetics, regarding the use of autotune. As far as I'm conserned if it's used as a trick or hook, it's no different than a choice of instrument. If it's used to make a bad singer sound better; that's just our business fella's, get used to it. There's smoke and mirror's happening all over the charts in every catagory!
