If they are used well and subtley, you never hear them at all. If you have to correct a singer that never hits the right note twice or within a semitone, then YES they sound like crap or aliens.

I use Melodyne pretty regular. I wouldn't call it hard, it's just time consuming. With Melodyne, or the version I use, the vocalist sings until it is as close as possible. When I'm happy with the track, I then transfer to Melodyne. When it is transferred to Melodyne, I can either have the computer do all the corrections in percentages automatically or I can do everything manually. Most of the time I will do a combination of the two. I will have the computer do a 50% correction, then go back and fix individual notes if needed. What Melodyne does is non destructive to the original track. I can always disable Melodyne and the original, unfixed vocal is still there.

Never use it, ever. But I have a singer's voice and don't need it. I can see that it has its place, though.

Okay. This assessment jives with an article I read recently (sorry, can't reference it) in which the author claims that any pitch correction of more than a few cents with any software will dramatically change the character of the voice and result in "digital artifacts".

I personally only do touch up in manual mode, I NEVER use automatic mode.. ever. I mostly use it on my one music, so if there is a vocalist who needs more I won't use them on my stuff.
