Um, that's gotta be the most unflattering performance of a rock "diva" that I've ever seen. I heard guys on the radio saying this morning that they wish they were the stage! Ugghh NOT

[brywool]

hey man,, i found something the other day.. i was watching Get Back on the top of the Apple recording studio building performance in 1969...

and the lead guitar that is on the audio doesnt match with what Lennon is playing live.. however the vocals seem to be

very accurate.. have you ever heard this???

I didn't see the link to the video you posted the first time- just did- That video is actually a couple of different clips edited together. They actually performed Get Back twice on the roof. They opened with it and closed with it when the cops tried to shut them down. Crappy that when it goes to Billy Preston, they go to the street! Amazing how bored Ringo looks!

Check this clip out and it's the first part of that lunchtime show. Preston was behind Paul on stage right.
All 3 clips are there. They actually played everything up there live, but it was edited together like crap.

There wasn't ONE singer that didn't use pitch correction.

If a band/artist is on a major label, regardless of genre, pitch correction will be used...it's industry standard. Makes the recording go a little quicker...get it "close enough to fix" and move on...even Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and Whitney Houston use pitch correction (also called auto-tuning) in the studio...or I should say thier mixing engineers do.

Actually recording something takes just as long as it always did, however long it takes for the artist to do the "take"..... Using autotune during the recording of a vocal would probably result in the singer being even more pitchy than they already are.....

Autotune is usually used in the mixdown, and for live performance its most likely added to the house mix (what the audience hears).. and I doubt the singer gets it in his/her monitor mix.

and for the record I HATE AUTOTUNE. lol

In the old days of tape recording, a mixing engineer would literally us a razor blade and cut & tape pieces of various takes (on tape) together into one good take. Laborious and time consuming, but that's how it was done.

Today.. since most recording work is digitally recorded to a hard drive (meaning there's no tape involved), this splicing of good takes is done in a computer program, and the way its done is pretty similar to how one uses a word processing program... using "cut & paste".


This is a good overview of how a vocal is "comped" together.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuEi9QosvQg

I'm going to be doing this for a drum track I recorded. Not a good drummer yet, so there are pieces of the tune that I get right and others that... um, okay they fsuck. I figure if I record it 5 times and splice the good parts together, I'll get something out of it! Great video by the way, thanks!
By the way, could you imagine listening to each take (14), each line (many)- over and over and over and over.... yikes!

thanks for all this info .. i didnt know any of this.. and i havent seen Let it Be in a while ..

[Saint John]

Immoral and disgusting. They should ship this freak off to San Francisco.

The film "Let it Be" is difficult to watch and listen to. They were really having difficult times then and the jamming they were doing.... some of it was horrendous. They were also coming in, trying to make music at like 9 am Monday through Friday for the film crew's benefit. As I mentioned earlier, Ringo looks pretty bored throughout. This is a clip that didn't get into the film, but it's hilarious. They're totally taking the piss out of each other; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey64bKA2mKA McCartney saying "Hey F*ckface" is worth the price of admission.

I prefer Help! and Hard Day's Night as films though.

Sorry to derail the Lambert thread.....

Here's a great Adam Lambert story,....

[strangegrey]

A shit song, that's a new development...


But he was always a shit singer....this was always the case with this fucking freak. People just refused to see it when Simon Cowell was too busy sucking him off...

[KDOUBLEU]

Worst performance I have ever seen. I would rather watch Tiny Tim.

[X factor]

Wow- more hate than usual being spewed in this thread! Keep the faith, gang!

Where's that PM lady?

This is why we liked his singing. But his amazing performance on screen during this song is what said star. The video was taken off YouTube.

Agreed! That one and Tracks of My Tears. Loved this performance! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9g-jDV5K3o

WOW. Beautiful. I haven't heard that one. Thanx.

[Ehwmatt]

Disgusting, deplorable, and sickening.

Now he's talking like a big gay fag too. He didn't talk that gay before. Someone has a terrible marketing idea for this queerball

[Saint John]

Someone has a terrible marketing idea for this queerball

It's gonna backfire. I think he's just trying to gain attention and noteriety for his eventual gig with Queen. I bet they announce him as their new lead singerette sometime in early 2010.

I thought the young Kurt Russell look totally worked for him too. He's got a great voice, I hope he ends up stepping back a bit and doesn't go the "Mandonna" route (LOL love that one, Bry).
