Wysteria 983 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I see this alot on MR removed videos, in the comments saying the performance is "pre-recorded".From what I understand, it's when idols lipsync but instead of to the studio version it's another recording that although is still edited, sounds more "live". Is that right? But I still don't understand why idols do this(when music shows banned lipsyncing) and how people can tell the difference between this and a live performance? Can someone explain?

AdzPower 3,385 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 They do it to try and make fans and the public think they're actually singing. And it's pretty easy to tell because its never sound right and the idols are never totally in sync, someone always fucks up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momorinxoxo 1,555 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Hmmm example: Chorus of a song, sometimes, there are words/lines that overlap each other, so pre recorded vocals help a lot. The idol can catch a breath and sing after. And it sounds live too, since it's not a studio version. And other stuffs like vocal accidents and etc. But yeah, looks/sounds lipsync but the idols/group are required to still sing with pre recorded vocals on it as back up.

kpopisnotmylife 5,014 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Yeah pre-recorded basically means that they've recorded the vocals beforehand to make it seem "live". Shame they can't lipsync properly though. Became an expert of recognising lipsynced performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boutchou 764 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 imo the best way to tell if it's pre recorded or totally live is pretty much the breathing (and of course the occasional lip sync mistakes). When they pre record it it'll most likely not be while they dance and so the breathing might not match specific parts where the choreography is tough. Tbh if they sound TOO clean while dancing, it's a sign. SHINee is known for good live signing and although they sound good even while dancing you can tell by the way they breathe that it's live. Same goes with Sistar, they'll breath harder at certain parts which is totally normal and it still sounds amazing. But if it sounds like a group sang while just standing there, you can bet it's pre recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Pre-recorded live vocals = Groups record a "live" version of their song, basically a 2nd studio version (edited etc.) and then lipsync to it on music shows or sometimes on radio. it's kinda like fooling the fans / public since lots of people don't know / realize it. Some agencies use it often while some other agencies never use it. Mr Removed become useless (not that it was ever useful...) because pre-recorded live vocals are different than studio version, so they don't get removed in the Mr Removed and it gives an illusion of a "100% flawless live" which is in reality impossible (especially while dancing). How to recognize if a group use pre-recorded live vocals: if they make lipsync mistakes you can notice it obviously, if the live sounds too clear and perfect, if you watch different performances and realize that they sound the exact same in every performance... personally I sometimes can tell that it's pre-recorded just by listening to it. it just seems obvious to me, most of the time. Some agencies can go as far as allowing a mistake (fail high note) or specific sound (clapping hands) in the pre-recorded live vocals track to make it seem more "real". when you see that these same exact sound (fail high note or clapping hands or anything) appear in each performance and sound the same in each performance then you know it's pre-recorded.

bearbeat 5,311 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 actually, you can't tell just by "lipsync" mistakes, because for most music shows, they film the same performance 2-3 times to obtain different camera angles and then later mesh them up for the broadcast. so a group may be performing 'live' (as in live singing and dancing) those 2-3 times, but because the end product is a stitch of video recordings from different performances with only 1 audio track overlay, it may seem like lipsync mistake when it's actually problems with the video editing. also, for those year end awards etc, even though those are supposedly broadcasted 'live' (and hence no video-stitching), it's not uncommon for mushows to broadcast a different more polished audio track than what was actually heard live in the venue, making it sound as if it's lipsynched. those you can only know if there are fancams from the events tbh.
