> autotune is almost always present in recent pop vocals
Autotune is often present in almost any decently-high budget studio recording of loads of different genres. Its just not obvious.
Autotune doesn't need to sound like Cher in Believe or T-Pain in any song he sings or Kesha. They're just cranking some of the settings to make those super obvious artifacts. When a sound engineer uses autotune (or the many other similar effects) you wouldn't even notice its there.
Speaking as someone who moonlights doing live music production, autotune is used loads of places.
When Cher's Believe came out, autotune had been a thing for several years. Its just that most people thought people didn't like speed == 0 until Cher made it a thing.
