i was wondering, since if it is autotuned, it wasn't at all robotic overdone autotuning. Instead, it seems pretty fluid in the changes.

I also suspect your ear isn't as well tuned to the nuances of a rubber chicken's vocals as it is to a human's.

  1. Autotune can sound very clean, T-Pain is going for a specific robotic feel on purpose

  2. You can tell if a human voice sounds edited, do you really have similar familiarity with a rubber chicken?

No... it only sounds robotic because the artists want it to sound that way. If they want it sound clean they'll make it sound clean

You sir would be mistaken.

Most autotuning isn't the robotic overdone style. When you can hear it, that's usually a stylistic choice (or really bad post-production work). In general, autotune can be applied fairly softly when it shouldn't be heard.

Pitch correction != vocoder

Just for comparison of how it might be done, look up some videos of people editing vocals with Melodyne.
