I can't stand auto-tuning, it makes it possible for tween celebrities with no singing talent and Kanye West to make **** albums. It'll become unpopular soon I hope, just like the super-chorusy guitars and reverbified drums from the 80's.
Vocoders are polyphonic chordal & vocally manipulated filters.
It's nowhere near the same thing as AutoTune, in any instance, and in any extreme.
We really have to stop calling AutoTune a Vocoder... Unless we're just using that as a slang term or something.
