Do you prefer live music or studio recorded albums?

Random other sounds in the background are not part of the music itself.

A sampler would love to speak to you.

LOL

Honestly, I'm most likely not as into music as many of you are. I can take it or leave it most days. That's any kind of music, not just some.

you like my music right lil....

I can't afford to leave it. Haha, you'll be stronger than I if we ever go back to mother nature. I need it everyday, if I leave it, I just feel like ''blah'' everything sucks without its own tune. xD

Well that's a fine and dandy opinion, but to me that makes no sense. For music, instruments and actual parts of the music are just that: Part of the music.

And every single thing you listed as things you don't like, are part of the live album. It's a perfectly apt comparison.

[Lilith]

you like my music right lil....

Yes I do, but I wouldn't listen to it all the time. My head would explode.

And to Stu, sure if you like the additional noise on live albums more power to you. I just think its distracting and detracts from what is important, by which I mean the music itself.

I like both. Live albums give you a vibe that studio records can't, however, studio recording give the artist more freedom to do what he likes with his/her music...

So it really depends on the artist/band and the nature of the live recording (showcase, concert, unplugged, etc).

about the live noises...the only Live noise I like is something being smashed....such a great feedback and amazing sounds...lol

Lol, I'll take your word for it. I'm going to go listen to Stomp! now.

[Rose312]

Last night I plugged in an old guitar and tried to cut the strings with scissors to see what sound it made lol. Made a really odd sound...now Im stringless lol

[Lilith]

Probably wasn't the best idea...

[Rose312]

Not Really, I can get string for free lol

[Lilith]

Why are you in my shoe!!!?? Get out! I'll get a blister!

[Rose312]

You already have a blister on your neck, that's why I'm in your shoe, duh.

Back on topic Lilith...trouble maker

If a artist can't perform without studio tweaks then they shouldn't be singing anyway.
Death to all auto-tune chipmunks. It rare nowadays to find a female artist that can harmonize without sounding like a strangled cat too ;-(
