As a huge fan of 'live' recordings what I have noticed that's increased is the amount of fixes.
Pre the mid 90s the fixes would be fixing out of tune bkgrnd vox, possibly adding another rhythm guitar part to fatten the overall sound, maybe a bigger snare and bass drum sound and maybe added keys/stings/horns to reference the 'hit' studio version. These days it does seem like just about everything gets enhanced or replaced. I know for a fact that it's relatively easy to replace and enhance pretty much anything on a live recording. *I was touring with someone in 1999 - 2000 and the crew employed an original rack mount Antares Auto-Tune for one note of one song (low - seemed unbelievable at the time, lol! I personally know quite a few recording engineers that make money 'fixing' and 'prepping' home videos for Youtube publication. I've even had a couple of them offer to fix some of those solo guitar vids I post. This post has been edited by klasaine: Jan 10 2015, 04:48 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

If only we knew the true extent of what went on, eh ? Offering to 'fix' some of your vis ? Ouch. What they mean is "do I want it to sound like a record?" They hear the room sound, the finger squeaks, maybe my foot tap on the floor, a note sticks out here and there, slight volume drop, etc. You know, the imperfections of a hand held recorder in a room in my house ... assuming I even give a shit . *My whole personal aesthetic doing those vids is 'this is exactly what it would sound like if you were in the room with me'.

The Biggest band in the Contemporary Christian Praise and Worship scene for many years is Hillsong United, who started as a group of teens at youth group and evolved into the most influential band in churches worldwide.
They release a live dvd and album with their new songs each year and I think there is a huge amount of overdubbing going on and even with the amount of people on stage, there are quite a few tracks being triggered as well. They use and have a grasp on music technology that only the top touring productions (the likes of Rhianna, U2 etc) have but use it week in week out. -------------------- My SoundCloud
