Re: op

Also a good point, I don't seem to be wording myself well today. My point was more that even people who are good are not going to be as 'flawless' as they are in recording and it can be a bit of a shock to people used to things that were edited in post.

Re: op

But for many singers, the reason they sound better in recording is not because of autotune or editing, but because they can do as many takes as they want until it comes out 100% perfect, and they can also do some splicing to get the Perfect Take.
I have a friend who's a singer, and he's awesome, and he also performs great live. But there was one song that at the end, in the recorded version, he goes way up into this super dramatic high note. In the performance he doesn't do that, because he knows there's a chance he might not hit it properly, and that would suck big time, so better not risk it. It's not that he CAN'T sing that note, or that he autotuned it. It's just that sometimes shit happens when singing live.

So I guess I agree with you that people will sound more flawless in recording than live, but even that doesn't necessarily have to be because of autotune.

This comes back to a flaw in me expressing myself: I specifically referenced autotune in a flippant remark, but it was in a conversation regarding post-production as a whole,including doing a million takes. So basically, yes, I agree!

Re: op

Ahh, ok! I get you now. We are in agreement, then.

Though I still personally think that there are a lot of artists nowadays who really aren't particularly good singers. Some are really not worth hearing live...

Re: op

I actually tend to not like recordings of live performances, so I can only speak for ones I've personally witnessed (of which there are few). But I am told quite a few people I like are terrible live.
