Pitch correction with drastic settings (like the

Sometimes it's also used to fake the sound of a vocoder.
Funnily enough, curiosity sparked by the original question,
I was reading Tweak's guide to recording vocals[1] and
I read this:
Q) How do i get vocal effects like on Cher's "Believe"?
I heard it was done with a Vocoder.
A) Nope. It was done with a pitch/intonation processor,
like Antares AutoTune. You get that effect by "abusing"
the settings. You tell autotune you are singing only Ab
and and Eb notes and you sing F and C notes. Auto tune
will bend your vocal notes to the closest selected pitch
giving that "yodel-like" sound
Is that the same thing? Unfortunately (or fortunately,
according to taste :) I haven't heard Cher's "Believe".
