Default autotune (pitch correction) good idea for karaoke?

Well yes it would be a disaster - not only from the stand-point of going far
enough off-key, but ppl who dont hear well will now hear worse because they
will not be listening to what thet are singing but being processed - much
harder to self-correct

I see some pitch correction box (e.g.

hear them before. Would it be a good toy to add to a karaoke setup?

If I understand correctly, if someone sings off key, I can turn on this
device and make everything on-key?

What happens if someone talks while this device is on, does the speech
get turned into musical notes?

Some people mentioned it makes the voice sound processed, or robotic. Do
the more expensive unit do better or are they pretty much the same?


If you are singing real far off the mark, the box will glitch horribly. I
think it would be a disaster in a karaoke setup, but then again what do I
know?
