Basically the 'cher' effect we're talking about is the result of setting

the response speed of the pitch correction to a very small amount. Even

the best singer reaches the correct pitch by listening to himself, it's

a continuous feedback. When using such an effect the voice goes from a

pitch to another so fast it sounds fake.
