New Enhanced Retune Speed
Sometimes, when using Auto-Tune, we want to create thick vocals and at the same time maintain the realistic and smooth transition between notes found in the human voice. Using the Major scale, when we set the retune speed to "4" (for example) we got thick corrected vocals but robot-like transitions between notes. If we set the retune speed to "22" (for example) we get a smoother transition between notes but the vocals are not as thick and as corrected as we would wish. We would have to use the graphic mode to archive both smooth transitions and thick vocals.
My suggestion is:
Divide the retune speed in two new parameters: one for sustained notes, and another for transitions between notes. The creation of such feature would give the user a wider control over the correction applied as well as it would cut out the need of the humanize feature, as the retune speed for sustained notes would allow the user to do, among many other things, the same as the humanize feature is capable of doing. Also, creating the Cher/T-Pain effect would still be very easy, just set both retune speed for sustained notes and retune speed for transitions between notes and you're good to go.
The graphic mode is normally used when the results of the automatic mode are not the ones the user was looking for; implementing this new feature would improve the control over the automatic mode and also save time for producers and audio engineers, crossing off the need of spending hours working on the graphic mode.
Thank you for your attention.

Welcome to the board, Pedro.
The reason you are hearing differences when the retune speed is set to a lower rate is not because Auto Tune is making the vocal thicker, rather, it simply doesn't allow for the pitch to waiver. When the pitch is locked into place, you will notice a more solid tone which might make it appear to sound thicker.
When the retune speed it set to a higher rate, there is more room for error so you notice more pitch changes.
Theoretically there is a way that you could achieve what you want but it would involve adding a new parameter called, let's say, Delay. This delay would cause Auto-Tune to kick in at a slightly later time and, if you had your retune speed set to a low number, you could have the natural pitch change while having the vocal lock into place further on in each vocalization.
I'm not sure if this would technically be possible but, it is good food for thought.

I think your idea is great. By saying that the vocal sound thicker i wanted to say that the line representing the pitch was thicker, it sounds more solid.
Also, adding a delay feature it's possible, as it is used in the vibrato feature (the vibrato stops as soon as the vocalist does a pitch change) converting that into the pitch correction mode, adding a delay would allow for the pitch correction to lower/stop for a given amount of time as soon as the vocalist starts changing pich.
It would be very useful and definitely possible.
Would you mind i changed the discussion with this new ideia?
