How Do They Sound So Good?
Oct16
I have been to a concert. I will say I did not like it very much. For one, way too many people crowded into the same area. But hey, I figured it was free, let’s give this a whirl and try to enjoy the new experience. So out comes the artist, if you must know it was Debbie Gibson at Six Flags. Yes I am old!
I liked some of her songs, hearing them on the radio. But hearing her in concert, and no offense to her, it was bad. The music seemed off and unrehearsed. She did not sound good at all; her voice was off, etc. I can now see why some artists lip sync.
But did you know, when you buy a CD or music online, when you’re listening to your favorite artists, they synthesize their voices. That’s right. Just like you see in ads, you see models being air brushed over, the same with the music we listen to.
The sound studios and changes in technology have really changed the industry a ton. Don’t get me wrong, some of these people have a ton of talent and I still like listening to them. But it almost feels like in one sense I am not. Who knows, maybe one day artists will go away and be replaced by digitally created stars! Weird!
