that thing rappers use nowadays that makes you sound like a robot going through puberty. first developed for the mining industry as a way to find oil wells fossils coal and metal deposits underground it was later introduced to music by cher in her song "believe". it was made popular during the boy band phenomenon especially by N*sync I guess they figured if they couldn't make them genuinely sound good that a robot gargling was almost as good.
Kanye west: I'm such a musical genius.
Kanye east: let's see you sing without autotune,then.
Kanye west: fuck

To fix a wannabe's voice. Someone who can't sing to save their lives but do it anyways and make it catchy. It is taking over the musical world. Some singers who use it are Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Jason Derulo, Korean groups like T-Ara, too many to count.

Used as a verb, to autotune something is to perform an act in an unconsidered, amateurish manner.
A near synonym would be to phone it in except that autotune implies a greater level of incompetence in the execution of the act.

Autotune is simply a piece of technology made by the dark lord Lucifer to snare the souls of all man kind,since autotune was taken up by a Mr T-Pain people have been dick riding this software and selling their souls to the dark angel at the same time, much to the amusement of every Rock'n'Roll fan. Kanye West devoted an entire album(808 & Heartbreak) to this piece of shit and the gates of hell opened like Paris Hiltons devil snatch and ever since autotune has been a means to sell albums to teenagers begging to fit in to their 'click'. With a billion Chinese people in the world loving this crap im sure we will have to bear with it for years to come.God I only hope that I die before Nickelback start using it.
T-Pain: Yo,Kanye you heard of Autotune.
Kanye West: Yeah....
T-Pain:*autotune*So can you sing like a Robot?*autotune*
Kanye West:*autotune*Yeah, I can sing like a robot, ohwaaa.*autotune*
Record Label CEO: God, its so shit but it sells like hot cakes.I am most definitely going to hell.
Lucifer:They really don't make it difficult do they?.*Evil Laugh*
Kanye West: Yeah....

A magical device that makes drunken bastards sound like good singers and good singers sound like drunken bastards.
Rebecca was a great singer, but with autotune she sounds like a walrus giving birth.
Ke$ha was a drunken whore spewing nonsense into a microphone, but with autotune she sounded like a sober whore spewing nonsense into a microphone.
