comment How can I cut out a particular instrument in the same pitch range as other instruments I don't want to cut?
Unfortunately it's not my music, so I don't have the option of working with anything else. Thanks for the answer.

comment What is compression and why is it used?
All he said was "related to vocal recording"; I'm not a mindreader. Vocal recordings need to be stored, and the purpose of this sort of compression is not to decrease audio quality.

comment How to recognize if Auto-Tune has been used in a recording? Is it needed?
As for your secondary more subjective question: Real singers don't need it. While the roles are not mutually exclusive, auto-tune is used by performers, not singers, so that their fans don't run away holding their ears. Random example: When singing a "performance" song like I Kissed a Girl, Katy Perry sucks without autotune. When singing a beautiful and somewhat vocally challening song that she obviously finds meaningful, like Thinking of You, she sounds amazing without effects.
