  1. The quality of the recording at any live show is rough to listen to. As these shows are very important for historical reasons they need to be heard correctly. Its a fact that Beyonce sings her grammy vocal BEFORE the show and dubs it in. I mean does anyone think she runs around and dances all over the stage and actually sings like that? IMPOSSIBLE. Does anyone think that U2 have no live keyboard tapes and vocals running live? wrong, they have tons!! Does anyone really think there is not post production in most TV shows? Of course there is. Its not neccessarily that bands cant pull it off, its really all about the environment they play in and the acoustics. Just watch Zac play any song, look fake to you??? NO WAY.

     

    In this instance if you listen closely you will notice the drums are slamming as they do every night and Hayley might have some extremely minor post production, we all know she can sing live and has an amazing consistency rate. Its pretty amazing when you think of how active she is on stage. She s one of a few that can pull it off, Hayley is the real deal, make no mistake. As far as the band, they are tight, any work done there would be peripheral and minor to the sounds off the stage. I work with many bands, Breaking Benjamin, Red Jumpsuit, Chiodos, Hawhorne heights blah blah. As far as performance goes Hayleys bullseye rate is way up there in the scheme of tuning and attitude combined.

    Fact is I mixed the show on the same console the record was made on. Thats why it has all the punch. As you can hear the arrangements were different for live, the video sinks up because this band is really playing.

     

    They have spent years at their craft and also learned a iot in the studio when we recorded. They learned some dynamics, groove, and proficiency in consistency.Please do not take away all the hard work they have done in the studio and on their own time. This band is young, hungry and perfectionists. They really care what their audience thinks and only want to get better at what they do. Any extra work was all done was incidental minor increments. It still sounds exactly like paramore to me, Its just a more controlled version. I personally happen to like all versions of this band both raw and produced. Either way you get PARAMORE!

     

    The key to the tight show was really a combination of their playing and what I do in post. They are also using a way better controlled stage environment.

     

    I saw the band in Sayreville on Tues, they were really fantastic and that had nothing to do with trickery. or post production. We all know they deliver live or the tour would not be sold out would it?

     

    Try not to forget that Paramore are perfectionsists in every sense of the word and would never try to do anythng that would comprimise their integrity. This was a very important show, one of historical significance, we were not going to be at the mercy of the club, the monitors or the acoustics in the room. The plan was to be the best they could and they delivered in fine form. It sinks up for a reason, because they played and sung it!!

    These are the facts, thanks or reading this,
