Pre-Production autotune on Friday Night wembley?

Its the few notes around 3:50 "One directiohohohohooon" Sounds to me like there is some autotune/pitch correction done.

The same goes for I Want To Break Free, some bits sound corrected aswell..

Dont know if its just my ears or not but it sure sounds like it..

I don't hear it. I think it's just you.

Better mix and they pitch-fixed the A4s!?
...
Just compare the A4s here to the official release! They sound flat compared to the official release! They clean up little errors? like that via pro-tools!"

It's minor pitch correction. Autotune would sound robotic and artificial-sounding.

Haha. You used the video comments to help out! :D

Well, you told it the best way. I thought better to quote already good sentence than trying to explain on my own :)

It's still an awesome note, displaying Freddie's great vibrato :D

I'm glad the conversation between Greg and I helped clear things out xD

I really wish they wouldn't use pitch correction or autotune on live releases, honestly. That's being TOO revisionist!

I'm with you on that. I'd rather hear the gig without any touch ups!

Greg, I've not listened to it, cos I cba. I'm a musician like yourself. Autotune doesn't make it sound robotic, if done properly. But there are far better tuning plug ins than Autotune, nowadays. For example, Melodyne, which although it's a nightmare to use, it really is incredible. Especially the DNA, direct note access. Which enables you to go into a fully mixed track and pick out individual notes. For example, the DSMN stems they put up, Freddies bum note in his piano track. I've gone into that with melodyne and moved the bum note to it's correct position. It still doesn't make that song any better in my eyes, though.

Josh Macrae, was involved in mixing this, I believe? He uses the Waves plug ins, that I also use. They are excellent, Waves have a tune plug in too, which is far, far superior than Autotune.

I'd rather hear the Friday concert with minor touch-ups (like cleaning the A4), than hearing the Saturday concert filled with overdubs.

^ what he said.

Overdubs XD

What I don't get is why certain parts of the 2nd Wembley show HAD to be overdubbed. Like the One Vision performance was fine without the overdubs and Who Wants To Live Forever didn't need them.

Ahh, thank god its not me :')

I once asked it to a guy who did a musical study for a few years, and he told me that i was incorrect because he couldn`t hear it, and that because he did that study and i didnt that i was wrong, and he was right..
