i also know from experience that you are "asked" to "play along with pre-recorded tracks" on tv by the producers of the show because of many technical reasons. (limited inputs, etc.) Often it is out of the hands of the artist rather or not the band is playing live or not. It is, if you want to do the show, here is what must happen."

It is part of the business end of this thing we call the music business.

Bruce, I don't know what happened at the venue, whether or not her voice was in the monitor mix or even on front-of-house. All's I know is the voice that was coming out of my teevee was not coming out of her mouth. I'm not trying to diminish her ability as a singer.

Sorry about my spelling on Milli Vanilli, I'm not that familiar with that group.

I also have nothing against this "fixing parts later", better than letting a bad part go,

Sometimes singers have MUCH bigger voices than the monitors can handle
and they pull back from the mic a lot more than others.
And occasionally move their mouth while NOT singing with the mic farther way that usual.

This is Reba and I backstage at the opry about 1983, way back then I suggested lip synching with her, but she wouldn't hear of it! LMAO!

She can sing, and you pick live when you say you do.
You are a top level pro and I have no reason to doubt you.

Looked like Reba was working the mic, kind of like using the volume pedal.

BTW Bruce, isn't it amazing how some people who are not actually recording, seem to have all the answers? Some of them are still trying to ride on their faded, or worn out reputation!.....Keep up the good work Bruce, you are an inspiration.

Edit, jes cause you from the country don't mean you can sing country.

Also Reba is a singer's singer, and if she wanted to do what was reported, I'd bet she could. She's been singing "big time" for thirty years, and not just in sterile studio settings.

As far as who does "it", and when?

If people "in the show" say things about they shouldn't, they'll lose their jobs, and they wouldn't want to do that, now would they?

Duh..

I remember asking about the steel part in BM's "Hot Wired" and had to figure out myself that it was tuned faster in the studio, from A to Bb, and probably then some...

I was indeed, born at night....

Odeta for one, she had to pull PAST 1 foot not to thrash the sound system at the Museum of Fine Art in NYC.
And she did it VERY smooth too.
6 inches is not that much for a singer with a big voice.

Someone with such a huge dynamic range is Justin Trevino.

Paul Franklin is playing on everything. They film other players behind a "blue screen" and digitally superimpose the image so we think there are other steel guitarists that get to play on TV. If you look real close you can probably see the digital artifacts around Bruce Bouton!!

I tell ya, it's a conspiracy!!
