Featuring the Gregory Brothers! Go subscribe to them: Pitch correction: it can make terrible singers sound decent, brill. Before we get into this controversial subject of just how bad a singer you have to be to use auto tune, we might first explain exactly what auto tune is and how it works. It’s worth while explaining this to understand why it’s used by people who would normally sound like a cat that’s having its tail pulled. The Auto-Tune comes in two models, one for a single cylinder and one for a twin. You can use the dual on a single by not using both sensors and telling the software you only have one sensor. You will have to either have a exhaust like a Muzzy that has a threaded O2 bung in it already or weld them in.
How does autotune work?- Jan 08, 2017 If Auto-Tune has a serious competitor in the pitch correction universe, it's Celemony's Melodyne. The interface, layout and operation of Melodyne is inherently more musical than the Antares take, so newcomers to pitch correction will likely find Melodyne easier to work with.
- Auto-Tune software in action. Back on the TV schedule for the autumn, the singing competition programme The X Factor was criticised last year after it emerged that the contestants’ voices were being altered via Auto-Tune.
Auto Tune How It Works Online
My best guess is that it does a Fourier analysis to guess the fundamental of the incoming sound, finds the closest pitch in the scale you've set it to, and does rate adjustment of a ring buffer to try to make it match.
Answers with as much technical/mathematical detail as possible would be great, as would a 'dummy with basic understanding of DSP' breakdown.
To clarify, I specifically want to know how it does it live.

This Auto-Tune manual [pdf] says some things about it that might help, though isn't very technical. See 'How Auto-Tune Detects Pitch' and 'How Auto-Tune Corrects Pitch.'

I've run the Autotune plugin 'live', with my soundcard's ASIO latency set to around 100ms. Whatever they're doing, their algorithm is fast as hell.
As far as their rackmount module goes, 30-50 ms is more than enough time for an embedded system (or FPGA with an embedded DSP) to process the sound. I'd guess their DSP runs at a fairly high frequency (100 MHz at least) and the sampling rate is only around 48K. Now consider that in a live performance, there's already line delay from the mics, mixers, etc. so another 50ms isn't going to matter.
Your algorithm description makes sense to me, but then again, I have no idea how Antares does it, and I don't have enough DSP knowledge to answer that.

You wouldn't need an FFT, just slide a chunk of signal against itself and total the absolute value of the differences. The minimum value for that happens when one cycle of the pitch lines up with itself. That time delay over one is the pitch.

My guess is that it's 'find the pitch, round it off to nearest permitted unit, pitch-shift to correct'. You can find pitch-shifting algorithms on the net if you google for them, it's not complicated.
The latency doesn't have to be real large either since they can do it using fairly short frames of data; e.g. 1024-bin FFT gives you ~25ms latency and 50 Hz bin size, then you can interpolate between bins to get a few Hz precision on the assumption that there are relatively pure tones being corrected.
I would assume there's some filtering going on so that only the inaccurate tones (a voice) and its harmonics are shifted, everything else should get left alone.
Considering the power of a modern CPU or FPGA, this is quite the trivial task. People build radars using FPGAs now and they process data coming in at 2GS/s while audio is only 48 or 96kS/s.
