No confusion here! Maybe because my hubby & son have done recordings & videos. O WELL... 🙄

I'm in denial about the facial hair because I Love facial hair and Most Importantly it's none of my business what you do with it. sigh I need an ode to the facial hair and I'll be fine. *wink/chuckle

I know it’s not the right season (technically) but their song Snow Globe is amazing for showing off Tim not only in singing ability but he also co-wrote it too.

Love how this group get their ladies involved with their videos. Adams wife is the only one i haven't seen at all.

They have some great behind-the-scenes videos they have released of their video shoots. Pre-Pandemic, they reserved these for Patrons on Patreon, but they have released some on KZfaq. You're right that they use the studio recording for the voices in the video. One of the best examples of this is Die a Happy Man. Austin will deliberately sing off key or out of his usual range (among other silliness), so that his lips sync up to the voice overlay.

When I watch "When a man loves a woman" he really looks like he's belting out those lyrics. His face gets red and I see veins in his head. 😅 I don't sing or know anything about it but that looked super real. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ idk but I need to know now. Lol

You know these guys all have sound recording booths in their homes right? In fact, in their "vault" series, they litterally show us how they sing under pre-recorded vocals in their music videos Then again, Unchained didn't require Austin hitting any impressive - for him - notes So it's entirely possible he can do all, or at least most of that song sitting down All Mortious was talking about Is that there is a reason Austin had to stand tall to hit the kind of notes he did in something like Bring Him Home

@@minneyruth Often times they DO sing while making the video, but they don't use the sound from the video. They sync the sound stage recording. So, if they look like they're singing, they probably are, but that's not what you're hearing. 🤗

Nope, Austin records the audio before the video is recorded.

@@shilohauraable thank you 😊 I've always wondered about all that. They are so good that sometimes idk what the hell I'm hearing or seeing 😅

Yes, Austin frequently sits in his solo videos and he can certainly sing sitting down…I’ve seen him do it in concert. However the audio you hear in the video was recorded separately in a studio set-up in his house…Tim recorded there during lockdowns. And the few times I’ve seen them record there in behind-the-scenes-type videos, they are standing.

Amberly was at the video shoot for When A Man Loves A Woman for inspiration. However the video was professionally recorded and edited by the Bolo Brothers, a video production company in Nashville. You’re correct that it was during lockdown and the other guys weren’t there.

@@susanhorn4325 thank you. I didn't know exactly how it was recorded,but I know Amberly does a lot of videos. Again,thank you. These guys are always great.

They have been asked about using auto tune and their answer was no.

@@terrichristenson432 No, their answer was that they do use it occasionally, but very rarely. They have also said that it's part of the fun with studio recordings compared to live.

I've seen them live 5 times and I'm seeing them again in August. They always sound the same to me

@@sarahc2401 Well, I've seen them live 18 times and it's what they themselves have said in interviews.

@@carinalindberg7377 I wish I could see them live that much. Anyway I'm not disagreeing I'm just saying thats what I hear but I'm not a pro at hearing autotune to be fair, unless it plainly obvious when you hear someone live compared to studio.

They can all sing sitting down for sure. Sing Off performances are an excellent example and they do it in concert. However official videos, unless they are from a concert, are recorded track by track in a studio.

Because they’re professionals that know how to sit in a way that doesn’t limit diaphragm control. Most people do not have that capability. Sitting naturally constructs the diaphragm unless you know how to counteract it

VoicePlay, this upcoming Saturday. Geoff, currently unknown, I’ve been at a bachelor party all weekend and haven’t gotten a chance to record it yet :)

@@officialmortius That’s kinda funny, because I got married on Saturday! Anyway....Hope you had a great time! (That your wife would approve of)!

@@DravenGal Congrats on the marriage!!!

@@officialmortius Thank you! The wedding was fun and lovely and the mini-honeymoon was fabulous! We listened to lots of Voiceplay when driving around! LOL!

It’s an original creation of mine! Maybe I’ll do a tutorial on it some time. I think I’m calling it the Reverse Windsor because it’s tied very similarly, but you tie it with the tail, and kinda backwards

Simple, they were not drunk, they were acting.

I say the same thing every time I look in a mirror 😂

You look great with or without the beard.

I think I was closer to hitting the note than you were to typing that comment correctly 😆 /lh

@@officialmortius maybe it's BC I am actually blind.. BC I am..

Austin’s solo songs are recorded in a studio set-up in his house. The recordings were produced by Steven Martinez at the beginning of his solo journey and are now being done by Sebastian with the final mix by Steven. All of his Home Free tracks during lockdown were recorded there and Tim also recorded at Austin’s during lockdown. The audio you hear in Unchained Melody was recorded separately from the video (though he was probably singing in the video which is why it looks “live”.)

@@susanhorn4325 Exactly - I've seen quite a few of his private instagram stories were you can see that it is done exactly as you describe!

@@susanhorn4325 Thanks for the information, though I had understood that Steven was only producing the "proper" videos (Rest of my Life, Earn it, If I met You Now, Take the Night off) and that the production equipment was not installed at Austin's house at the beginning. I may be quite wrong about this! But there are recordings which are clearly not dubbed, if only because there are occasional tiny flaws in technique which no producer would be able to resist correcting. I'm thinking of the songs for patrons eg Love Song for a Vampire. There are others where Sebastien is clearly following Austin's lead, watching him like a hawk! which must be difficult to pretend - the piano is clearly not recorded separately.

@@patriciamcl54 When Austin started his solo project, Steven was his roommate and he recorded/produced all of Austin’s music, both the covers and originals. I believe it was Steven’s equipment as he was an up and coming producer at the time. After Steven bought his own house Austin would go there to record. Steven got so busy that Austin was having trouble scheduling enough time with him so he started recording with Sebastian. I believe Austin has purchased equipment (or some of it could be Seby’s) because they still record at Austin’s house. I am fairly sure Steven still produces the final version of the audio for all the solo music because sometimes Austin or Amberly make references to waiting on the file from Steven before they can release the latest cover to the superfans. This description applies ONLY to the music released on Austin’s KZfaq channel (and streaming platforms for his originals). You are correct that the video messages/songs that are arranged through his website for individual people ARE recorded live with a stationary camera, probably in one take. Since reactors don’t do reactions to those informal videos I guess it didn’t occur to me to include them in the discussion. When they film the videos Austin is singing and Seby is playing the piano which is why it looks so real but that’s not the audio you hear. They record the video several times and line up the files to edit them into the final video. Seby probably still takes his cues from Austin and therefore needs to watch him so they are in sync. I’m not sure how/when they record the piano track but I know other instrumentation can be added separately (like the steel guitar in Earn It).

@@susanhorn4325 Thanks.
