[A6] Defective voices and other anomalies

[elmacaco]

Yeah it's not a good idea to power cycle too much or too quickly.

Also, don't autotune before a good warm up period, I always allow about 15 
minutes and the unit warms up into tune with no need for auto tune most of 
the time, and I lave temp and background tuning off.
