Studio Vocalists and Bands


What exactly is a Studio Band/Artist?

  • Anyone who uses Auto-Tune regularly
  • Majority of Emo vocalists
  • My personal category of a band that sounds awful live 


Check out this small playlist for some amusing videos here

  

  Whether you enjoy pop, rock, rap etc it's disappointing when your favorite artists can't perform what they record.  Not unless there a ton of processor units or harmonizers.  Nothing against the obvious studio artists, I personally enjoy many and could care less if their live performances are less than spectacular or digital quality.  

  One of most famous pop singers, Katy Perry, is known for her over processed vocals and infamous live performances lacking them.  Katy Perry is a prime example of a lot of scrutiny for her fan's claim to obvious live sound differences being extreme; however, she IS a studio artist and live perfomances come with the job.  It's pop.  Or more accurately digital pop - digipop

  Sometimes we do experience artists that miss their mark or note entirely:  changing the pitch/octave to better suit their current range, (what they either could only do once...maybe even a pitch corrector) or trying something new, or a flat out mistake.  Some bands sound BETTER live (e.g. Tool, DMB, even John Mayer).  Regardless, music is music and if it sounds better live or on the album, then enjoy it on at a venue or on your device.
