You know, when they put a concert on dvd, the first thing they do is to "normalize" the vocal as well as background music, therefore sometimes they don't seem lives.(normalize volume is making each part being at CONSTANT volume, it just like what they do to studio recording)

Common people used to determine whether it is live or by volume fluctuations. They THINK if there are volume fluctuations, that is live and vice visa.However, I must say that it is quite a misconception because normalization already eliminate volume fluctuations.

"Normalize" is actually a common technique in studio. They do the same to CD and tour DVD(in japan's case). That's why, you may sometimes find that the same song sung in TV live and DVD live sounds differently. Further, people sometimes even "erase" off-key notes. (Such kind of technique is extremely common and normal in post-processing.)

Take momets in ARENA tour 2003-2004 as example(it has been sung once/twice only over the tour). I have its REAL live recording(by cellphone), it sounds nothing like the one in DVD besides you can still distinguish they come from the same source. The one on DVD sounds perfect but the REAL one sounds...strange.




The only difference between post-processing of CD and that of DVD is that people don't make that much changes(modifications) as they make at CD.
