It does indeed have an auto tune feature as well as Vari-Audio which is a Melodyne-like feature embedded within the sample editor.

What follows is some advice I gave to Henry on how to duck a guitar track using a side chain off the lead vocal.

Make a copy of your vocal track & assign the output to the side-chain of the compressor. This vocal track will not be heard at all. Start playback, open up the compressor insert on your guitar group track. Make sure the vocal signal is hot enough to trigger the compressor. Now the compressor is being triggered by the vocals but is compressing the lead group. Play with the settings until the guitar "ducks" slightly below the vocals. It will do so only when the vocals are present if you set the release correctly.
Hope this is helpful. C7 is an awesome program! Enjoy! :)
