How to Set Up Auto Tune in Cubase 4

Auto-Tune has been used for years by studio engineers to correct the tonality of voices and instruments. In recent years it has become extremely popular due to the blatant use of it on recordings by the popular hip-hop artist T-Pain. Cubase 4 does not come with Auto-Tune. It is a separate VST plugin you need to install on your computer and load into Cubase.
