Problem With Auto-Tune

Of course I've heard the argument that instead of reaching for pitch correction with a less than desired performance, you should find a better singer who can sing in tune. For me, seeing as that pitch correction is used in almost all "pop" music nowadays. And I focus primarily on recording "pop", melodyne and auto-tune are two core tools of my studio and buisness.

questions about autotune

OK, I have a Roland VS-1680 which I've learned how to use. I want to try to use autotune for vocals. I know they have a module but it they don't make it anymore and it's too expensive to find.

I'd like to know how exactly I could use a standalone Autotune box with that recorder and if there's one recommended that's worthwhile and can be bought cheaply used.

Cubase 5 vs. Autotune

Can the pitch correct in Cubase 5 do what Autotune basically does. Correct pitch in real time and have selectable scale and individual note selections? Also can the Cubase 5 do the T-pain thing by running correction at 100% (not that i use it but some think it's neat and it's good to do funny things with. Just curious before I get Cubase 5 AND Autotune.
