Auto-Key automatically detects the key and scale of your music and sends it to all instances of Auto-Tune in your project. If you already know the key and scale of your tracks, you may also find Auto-Key useful for simultaneously setting the Key and Scale parameters of multiple instances of Auto-Tune with a single click. Natural Vibrato Vibrato Adjustment - You won't always find this option either. It's kind of the opposite of the Humanize option above in that it can introduce vibrato that is otherwise missing.
It takes talent to sing vibrato and to do it correctly. If your singer can't do it but the song calls for it, this option can add it in at varying amounts. It can also reduce the intensity of the natural vibrato. Above I mentioned the three levels of pitch correction, which are basically "complete overkill," "too much is needed," and "perfect and unnoticeable.
What's needed will change each time! For a purposefully over-dramatic use of the effect like Cher or T-Pain, set the retune speed and flex tune speeds to zero. This will snap the notes instantaneously to the pitches they should be at. Set the humanize knob to the maximum and reduce natural vibrato as much as you can.
This will cause the vocals to sound like a synthesizer. You can make it even more dramatic by purposefully singing off pitch when recording. You should be close but nowhere near perfect in order to make the plugin really put in the work to re-pitch each note. For the current expectation for pop and country music, try setting the retune speed around 5 ms to 15 ms, with barely any flex tune. A little bit is good to keep the track sounding realistic. What you'll end up with is a pitch-perfect track but one that doesn't "snap" quickly to the notes so it still sounds like a human performance.
That's it. Leave the other settings alone. Pro-Tip: You can add pitch correction to only parts of a performance if you don't want to use it much but certain parts definitely need fixing.

The differences here are that the paid versions will have more choices, and as you move into the "Pro" versions of each one they'll introduce more options for you.
Many users will find they don't need the most advanced choices, especially when not adding pitch correction in real time. Pro-Tip: Melodyne is very transparent. You can correct the pitches and tweak the cents very close to perfect and bounce the track.
From there you can then apply Autotune to the "almost perfect" track and end up with a godly vocal performance that sounds very natural. The process is very simple. The challenge is understanding what each setting does, because the short names can't possibly be self-explanatory due to the complexity of the software. Once you understand what the knobs do, the rest is a piece of cake. With our walkthrough and explanations above, you should have know how to use autotune as well as any professional.
