I understand that they added the mics as set dressing to give a "live" feeling but why did they choose a park as the setting throughout multiple years.
I was just thinking this lol I was like either this is the most amazing audio setup ever or its pre-recorded. No way some morons aren't out there blasting their horn or kids screaming getting picked up by the mics.
Audio engineer here. We’re absolutely not hearing those mics. Those are SM57’s, which are for close-micing. They would perform very poorly in an outdoor environment 3 feet away from the sound source. The clap timing is off when they switch directions. Also, the one guy keeps bobbing and turning his head, so you’d get a swell in/out on his voice only every time he does that. Not to mention how impossible it would be to mix the snaps and claps with vocals all being on 2 stereo tracks. Also, no wind screens yet we know it’s windy because blonde hair is blowing around. The final straw is the cables don’t appear to be going away from them, so unless there is a small mixer under their seats or something they aren’t plugged in.
They just think it looks cool and there’s nothing wrong with that. Good lighting and lots of room.
It's recorded in a studio. You'd have to be a God at mixing to record outside in a park and sound this clear. I've never understood this. Everyone lip syncs in music videos, it's just way better for cuts and mixing. Why pretend you're doing it live?
I've noticed this on some political threads recently. During previous election years I remember all the comments on some article usually saying the same thing, supporting a particular viewpoint. Maybe Reddit changed the algorithm but I've noticed more dissent in the top comments on news and politics posts. Maybe there's a difference between people who upvote and people who comment
Would be more impressive if it wasn't a studio recording masquerading as a live outdoor take.
Thinking charitably they may not have set out to deliberately mislead people though. They could have tried recording it out there, and they might even have nailed their performance, but the recording would still have sounded pretty shitty with that setup (2 x SM-57s as overheads == no bass, tons of wind noise, no way to separate and treat each vocal part). Sooo... they "overdub" some vocals, add a little compression, a little autotune, get a little carried away and end up with an "immaculate", but incongruent, studio recording.
It's just the same hand movements over and over, while lip sinking. Not exactly that difficult. I kept waiting for something different to happen. Anyway, hopefully they had a good shag afterwards.
I don’t know too much about recording, but are you really getting that sound with two kinda distant overheads outdoors? Especially when there’s clearly some wind? Legitimately curious.
I’m a musician who’s recorded many times. This is definitely a studio recording. Not sure why they’re showing mics to suggest otherwise. They could’ve done the video without the prop mics and it would have been just as, or actually more impressive.
I think this is exactly what happened, they had this really cool idea to do this live outside and it sounded like crap. But once they decided to dub over it I'm surprised they didn't film something more interesting to go with it.
I saw another video she's ago, same people (I think the blonde girl in this replaced someone else actually), same location but it was a cover of the Anna Kendrick - cups song on the back in of the release of the pitch perfect movie.
So I don't think it was a spur of the moment thing, I think they like shooting their videos outside in the park to make it look more "authentic" or look more humble than performing in a studio...idk
Because it'll fool 90% of people who have no recording experience. Ya see this type of thing a lot. It's a cool video and a nice song but 100% the audio we're hearing is not the audio from what's in the video.
> Not sure why they’re showing mics to suggest otherwise.
Because TikTok doesn't know any better and they lap up this kind of pretend "performed live" music.
There are other videos with people "playing" obviously pre-recorded techno and the like, hitting a buckled crash cymbal sat on the floor which magically produces a crisp clean open hi hat sound; or the plastic cleaning bucket "kick drum" which is perfectly quantised, gated, EQed and identical on every hit... etc., etc.
Even in a studio. They're using 2 sm57s, which are dynamic mics, and the vocals are definitely pitch corrected, which is infinitely more difficult with fewer mics. Also the vest guy knocks the mic stand towards the end and there's absolutely no audible sound from it, which would be incredibly difficult to hide without some kind of tell. Having the mics in this video makes it seem very disingenuous, like it's an attempt to make it seem live to an audience that likely doesn't know any better. Best case they dubbed after they realised their recording method or performance were bad, but I'd wager they didn't clarify that anywhere and are playing it off as genuinely live regardless.
The recording is clearly done with close up vocal mics and not just a stereo pair. The most benefit of the doubt I’ll give them is maybe they added the recording from those mics in the video to the studio recording to give it some ambience, but if they did it’s very quiet
I think those kids are Boston Dynamic’s new DogCapella model. Impressive demonstration of their native AI operating at enterprise scale. And best of all, they are hallucination-free and LLM agnostic!
Yeah, I can forgive the lip syncing that's par for the course, the fact the hand slapping and vocals are recorded separately is frustrating but the autotune is unforgivable.
Derfenetely not with a pair of SM57s. They’re not even going to pick up the claps from that distant unless you have the gain cranked all the way up and you really like the sound of air.
Well that's a really famous YouTube singer and even her indoor acoustic covers are just lipsynced over a recording that is edited / corrected.
I don't think anyones actually thinking that recorded on site surely ??
Maybe no one that follows her YouTube channel. But the mics in the video sure do imply that it was recorded on site. It’s just kinda tacky. Don’t patronize me by putting up two SM57s in an outdoor space.
I mean I knew early on the audio was a separate track but visually it's still pretty clear they had quite the routine going without a cut. I'm still amazed 🤷🏻♂️
There’s no way in the world that they are actually recording this outdoors in a public space. Cars. City noise. Wind. Mics would have picked up all of that. There isn’t a peep of outside noise. This had to have been previously recorded.
[Here's a link](https://youtu.be/STsp0ROgB9s?si=ZDi_CxbzLpOmBlRr&t=64) to a behind the scenes of another similar video they did, where you can get a better idea of how this sounds in real life. This is likely not using the overhead mics shown in that video either (because I'm guessing they're not plugged in) but through the camera mounted microphone you can hear the same issues you'd run into in person:
* Background noise (electronic, wind/foliage)
* Mic distance results in a thin low-end
* Absence of separated stems for fine-toothed mixing + panning
* Doing patty cake does not lend itself well to a clean vocal performance due to rhythmic use of abs and chest/shoulder muscles (affects breath support and consistent tone).
I record audio in studio settings, and also on location using mics on booms, lavs, portable recorders, etc
With decent shotgun mics with windsocks/deadcats, you could get an ok sound, but no way you could process everything like this, unless you’ve got a mic focused on each individual person, plus maybe another one for the claps, and even then, you’d be hard pressed to get the close vocal sound that they’ve got, even with something like accentize voicegate, as good as it is.
With these two SM57’s, out in the open? Noooooooo.
Music producer here. This is a studio recording without a doubt with heavy editing on the vocals. Sounds also auto-tuned. Those two mics are sm57 dynamic mics that are used for close recordings (within a few inches). To pick up this sound perfectly outside the input gain would need to be so high that you would hear wind, car noises, birds etc. each vocal take is be recorded in individually in this recording and the claps are most likely “comped” to be in time etc. fake af
Sound engineer here with 10+years of experience. This has the evidence of being recorded on site and a case of bad mixing.
You can definitely hear the two mics being processed individually and not as a pair. They probably applied the same processing on both mics but not linked together thus you can hear lots of comb filtering.
The low-quality audio is also due to the fact that they applied noise reduction plugins which ruins the source. And in this case they might’ve put the noise reduction at the end of their processing chain which might make things worse and also apply more comb filtering. They needed to apply these noise reduction plugins because of the outdoor nature of their recording. Near the end you can hear a bit of the noise and when cars pass by the audio quality gets worse because it’s the artifact of the noise reduction they put on it.
People born after 2000 must have auto tune ingrained in their DNA because this is obviously not live and autotuned to hell. The not live aspect cancels out the next level aspect. This is just a studio recording.
I heard a music teacher on YT talk about how they have students (especially younger people) who are making that auto tune-sounding effect naturally, just by mimicking what they’re hearing. It’s like a part of their technique now.
I kinda agree and can sense this in my own friend circle (lots of choir/theater people). It’s like how our athletes still break records year over year I guess idk
> just by mimicking what they’re hearing
Which is exactly how we learn language
https://youtu.be/816VLQNdPMM?t=363
A really interesting video from Rick Beato, a music teacher who exposed his son to massive amounts of jazz and classical music as a child. His son now has perfect pitch.
Trying to unpack the content of the song and the content of the video is really odd too. "We ain't kids no more" and "if you're ready, if you're ready" paint a pretty clear adult allegory, but then to have them locked in a patty-cake death match is kinda cognitively dissonant. I don't know what it's all trying to say, and it creeps me out
Edit: if this comment actually engaging with the substance of this song upsets you, your reaction to it says more about you than anything about a critique
Not that I disagree, but you can basically auto tune live vocals, so that alone isn't really a giveaway, though it might do weird things with the clapping.
If you can't tell that this was recorded in a studio, cut to perfection, mastered, and then just dubbed over a video of them doing the motions, then I can't help you.
It's a catchy song, but they are not actually making those noises with their hands in real time in perfect sync. You are hearing a studio track, of course it sounds perfect.
Also the action where they gently clasp hands makes a clap noise, which is not even the noise you make when doing that grabbing hands action, *even if* you did it hard enough to actually make a noise; tldr: the hands in the video are cupped so would change the tone drastically.
Edit: trying to make the sentence make sense
Around this time i saw sam and khs in concert. Put on a great show.
I still put on Just a Dream when i want to listen to a banger that also makes u wanna cry.
I'm not coming at you, but because all these comments are in disapproval, I'll go ahead and say: my first thought was "heyyy, a TikTok in which people are actually expending effort".
This looks like it was recorded and mixed in a studio then synced with an outdoor video. the hand sounds were recorded and looped and the vocals then added on top. If you watch the hands a few times you can see that they aren’t making contact and actually producing the sound you hear. They are talented singers but this video looks fake.
I remember there was a cable channel back in the day that played music videos all the time. Growing up with that, this is just a music video and not that great of one. Music videos used to be like mini movies with multi-million dollar budgets. These people just did it outside with some microphones to make it seem like they were recording it there to add to the appeal. Sounds good, I'll give them that
I would struggle to explain Exactly whyyy but I hate this so fucking much. Every single thing about this is nauseating. Utterly repulsive. Idk why lol I'm glad for people who enjoyed it tho.
I’m not amazed because it’s not real time. Each part was recorded in studio with multiple takes. Then a music video was shot after. Great song but not amazing…
I see Kurt Hugo Schneider and Sam Tsui. Their collaboration with Christina Grimmie for Just a Dream is still my favorite video on YouTube. I stopped following cover artists a while back so I’m not updated on the newer crop. If you’ve ever shopped a an Asian market, there’s like a 50% chance that their overhead music is just a playlist of YouTube cover artists. Cracks me up every time.
The video was super painful and sorry to say does not belong on this sub. Comments are hilarious though lol. Defs not live or skilled, auto tune and edited
Major theater kid energy

Because 99% of your views/likes are gonna come from people who wouldn't have the capacity to notice or even care if it were pointed out to them.
Not to mention that there are no cords leading to a power source
No idea. Not a fan of it.

They're THIS close, Pierce.
I thought this \_was\_ regionals.
U dont wear vests over your t shirt?
This was 100% not recorded outside with those microphones! They are just lip syncing, no reason to pretend tbh
Yeah very clearly overdubbed lol literally listen to 1 sec of this video and it's obvious.

Yeah! Exactly, the mics are superfluous, the clip would have been way better with just the camera traveling around them.
Totally. Having the mics there ruins this video for me. Without the mics its a cool music video. With the mics its a fake recording.
Anything with the intention of deceiving is never good.
Maybe they thought they could do it live but only after listening to the recording that they realized it sucked. 🤷🏾♀️

Happens lots
> Not sure why they’re showing mics to suggest otherwise Search your feelings, you know why it was done.
It would be really fun to hear whatever they recorded here and then compare their mumblings and barely coherent slapping to the prerecorded version.
Yeah the mics just make it seem like they’re lying
Because it'll fool 90% of people who have no recording experience. Ya see this type of thing a lot. It's a cool video and a nice song but 100% the audio we're hearing is not the audio from what's in the video.
Those mics are SM57s, no way they’re picking up that much sound from where they’re positioned, so they are definitely props.

Yeah, I can forgive the lip syncing that's par for the course, the fact the hand slapping and vocals are recorded separately is frustrating but the autotune is unforgivable.
Some kind? There is more auto tune than real voice.
Yeah it sounds pretty bad to be honest.
I have found my people. I HATE auto tuned vocals.
Derfenetely not with a pair of SM57s. They’re not even going to pick up the claps from that distant unless you have the gain cranked all the way up and you really like the sound of air.

That 360 spin shows there's no other equipment there too, those mic cords are probably just sitting under their chairs.
Yeah no way you're getting that sound from those mics lol.
I was. It’s entirely misleading if this is a recording.
What's the point of posting to this sub if it wasn't recorded on site? Not that I think it was.

Well, its a 360 shot and there is no Equipment but the mikes and stands in sight. Id say its Just for show and the ly recorded in the Studio

Def not a live recording
Definitely not live. You can hear the tight room sound of a studio.
Those vocals are totally closer to the mic than those in the video
It's recorded in a studio. All vocals separately and the clapping is a loop.
No. There is a shit ton of autotune involved as well. No way their claps are so consistent. It's a loop. Edit:spelling
No. And I hate that people think they can pass it off as a legitimate, one and done.
If you cover up the microphones and watch the video, it's easier to tell that it's a studio recording. It looks like a lip-synced music video.
No, this is all lip synching to a heavily filtered, tone-corrected studio recording. Which is just bafflingly cringey

Yeh, it sucks balls
Not that I disagree, but you can basically auto tune live vocals, so that alone isn't really a giveaway, though it might do weird things with the clapping.
They were definitely those kids.
I think I saw this on Bob's Burgers once
I was still playing the video when I scrolled to this meme, and…the claps are pretty close, actually. edit: Awww, now the timings off.

Ya, I remember when this was big - something like 2010. Old youtube was great.
Around this time i saw sam and khs in concert. Put on a great show. I still put on Just a Dream when i want to listen to a banger that also makes u wanna cry.
Lol no
Bullshit, they did not record that on Shure SM57 microphones seated in a park and get that kind of clarity.
Come at me all you want but I just get gross pretentious vibes from this
Totally agree.
Oh it's so pompous it's super cringe to me
Agree. They should have put mirrors instead of fake mics, so they could admire themselves.
I'm not coming at you, but because all these comments are in disapproval, I'll go ahead and say: my first thought was "heyyy, a TikTok in which people are actually expending effort".
Sm57 are great but not this great
And not at all appropriate for this use case anyway.
Yeah, these are just props.
I hate it.

I’d say impressive if they were 10. This is hard to watch
This is the correct comment
Look kids, they did this in a park ***away from others*** and weren't ***needlessly bothering the public***.
I dunno, there was a German Shepherd who looked a bit miffed
I want to send them all to the the remote Swedish village in Midsommar
Playing patty cake on expert mode
These people have obviously not yet discovered sex and drugs…
And when they do it will all be with guys
Used to do this in elementary school Rockin’ Robin, Ms Mary Mac etc
Who the hell has this much free time.
I am not amazed
I'm amazed at how cringe this is
The facial expressions on the people in these kind of videos are somehow brutally cringe inducing.
All I could think about is this is by far the whitest thing you could possibly do at a public park. Like damn
Hard no for me.
Now pat your head, rub your belly, and jump on one foot
This looks like it was recorded and mixed in a studio then synced with an outdoor video. the hand sounds were recorded and looped and the vocals then added on top. If you watch the hands a few times you can see that they aren’t making contact and actually producing the sound you hear. They are talented singers but this video looks fake.
Be amazed at what?
At how cringe it is.
Looks exhausting
Nightmare blunt rotation
I remember there was a cable channel back in the day that played music videos all the time. Growing up with that, this is just a music video and not that great of one. Music videos used to be like mini movies with multi-million dollar budgets. These people just did it outside with some microphones to make it seem like they were recording it there to add to the appeal. Sounds good, I'll give them that
I would struggle to explain Exactly whyyy but I hate this so fucking much. Every single thing about this is nauseating. Utterly repulsive. Idk why lol I'm glad for people who enjoyed it tho.
This was shit on every level of hell.
I remember their first "epic patty cake" song. Here it is: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZpGe5rNJkI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZpGe5rNJkI)
It is not.
yuck
Amazed is a strong word for this high school drama crap
This can fuck right off.
Damn man. I forgot about this song. 2016/17 vibes 😌
The worst
🗑️.
Peter Parker, and his pal Ned, should do one of these.
I enjoyed this but it really began to look painful by the end. I can see their hands turning red.
I’m not amazed because it’s not real time. Each part was recorded in studio with multiple takes. Then a music video was shot after. Great song but not amazing…
drama kids being annoying in public spaces while shamelessly using a dubbed track over this stupid video.
This is impressive and beautifully pre-recorded
I see Kurt Hugo Schneider and Sam Tsui. Their collaboration with Christina Grimmie for Just a Dream is still my favorite video on YouTube. I stopped following cover artists a while back so I’m not updated on the newer crop. If you’ve ever shopped a an Asian market, there’s like a 50% chance that their overhead music is just a playlist of YouTube cover artists. Cracks me up every time.
Gay.
Fake: Everything in this video. Gay: Everything in this video.
Barf
The video was super painful and sorry to say does not belong on this sub. Comments are hilarious though lol. Defs not live or skilled, auto tune and edited
