Its impossible to duplicate the exact vocal perfectly.Studios use numerous signal processors and can even correct pitch problems as well as a host of other problems when recording.A single vocal track on a recording may consist of several performances taped at different times,then mixed together for a final cut.It is easier today to reproduce close to studio quality live then it was in the past.Even my home computer has become a multitrack recording device that can produce incredible quality.The artist could also be working with a sound technician that isn't that good.Or have a cold.Lot of reasons.Plus the radio version is the one you predomonantly hear.Hearing it done even slightly different shatters the preconceived notion you have of the song.Radio stations usually compress their signal.This can create a slightly different sound.

because they dont have all that technology that they use in studios then they do when they perform live, and reasons why they change the tone of the song is to try to make it their own without having it sound exactly like the original. some songs do sound better on the radio but you have to remember that the radio edits the song to make it not sound the least bit rude or anything. theres just some songs that sound better when they include rude words, eg: tupac, and you'd only here when your downloading or buying their cd.

It's pretty clear that they do some editting in the studio & they're able to record over & over again but when they sing live, there's no redo for them. We can't blame them, though because it's really different when they perform in front of a live audience. They need to keep it all together. Like you, I like the radio & CD version better too!

cd and radio versions have been mixed. the levels and tones of all the instruments and vocals have been tweeked to make it sound just right on the album. effects are also used sometimes. when live, you're pretty limited to what you can do tone wise (if you dont want to bore your audience by adjusting the levels between each song.. ) also when live, musician often do things differently just to change things up a bit. i personaly like live stuff in general.. expecially if i'm at the concert... a cd cant compare to that..

when an artist records in a studio the environment is totally controlled and the sound is custom mixed and cleaned up, and filtered. An example is live you can hear the slide of the hand on a guitar string,but in the studio the sliding noise is eliminated so all you hear is the change from note to note. When and artist is in the sound studio the recording is done over and over until it is perfect, when live they don't get to start over.

Yeah Mary is right. In the studio the producer, sound technician, etc. get together and fiddle around with all of the equipment to make a singer's voice sound the best it possibly can.

well now a days singers and bands cant play very good they are all modified by computers and people so when they are live they lip sing or suck. Real bands can play anywhere and still sound good in fact alot of older bands sound 100x better live the songs are longer, with better solos and they just giv'er on stage.

The music you hear on radio and cd has been cleaned up with a mixing board and other equipment to give the best performance.

most sound totally different to the studio recordings that they sell us .they modify their songs by saying things in the middle like welcome (then the name of were they are ) you all cheer think what a great singer he loves my town la de la de la .then the special backing tracks don't sound the same as the sterile studio sounds so no its totally different and also they sometimes hit the same notes .

1 studio musicians are different from live musicians
2 studio acoustic atmosphere different
3 after recording is made studio engineer cleans it up
and adds special effects and more instrumentation if needed
This service is basically not available for a live performance.
