Anyone got a clip? I'm kind of doubting auto tune is being used but wouldn't be surprised if they were using something like a flange or a phase shift effect.
Both kind of get looped in with the "auto-tune" sound.

Maybe it's being used for effect?
specifically the first two notes of the female lead (some-day) in the audio clip - some suspicious processing going on there.
I've been a sound engineer until 1996, and I know that auto-tune definitely use some formant-aware phase shifting, so that a slight pitch correction (up to a couple of commas) must be essentially inaudible if properly used. Heck, back in the 1980s when we only had Eventide H3000 to save a poor performance, we could make a convincing approximation of the auto-tune effect in post-production, and when the digitech vocalist MV-5 became available, it made a really decent job at real-time pitch-correction, and it was back in 1995. Do you really think that a state-of-the-art fx module used by a competent sound engineer in 2010 would be audible? No way, sir.
