Due to the ongoing strike, it has been confirmed that KBS’s Music Bank has been ordering the performing singers to prerecord their music to sound like a live performance.
An anonymous source affiliated with the music industry met with enews and revealed, “We received an order from the staff at Music Bank to record our music to be like a live performance.”
He further explained that the Music Bank staff was taking precautions, in case the audio team and other staff members are affected by the on-going strike.
From a glance, it may seem like a safety measure, but in the order to make artists prerecord their music to sound live, there is a small intention to trick the viewers. In the case that it becomes hard to operate normally due to the strike, the program is planning to trick the audience into thinking that it is a live broadcast.
It plans on playing the live broadcast-like AR (All Recorded, including the artists’ voices as well as the rest of the music) with the MR (Music Recorded, featuring just the instrumentals), to create a makeshift of a live broadcast.
In other words, it is an action that deceives viewers. Of course, other music related employees state, “Depending on the situation, the broadcast will run as usual without the special AR.”
Even so, due to the fact that the broadcast staff asked the singers for this kind of errand, it is hard to hide the bitterness.

Date: 2012-05-04 02:41 pm (UTC)and eh i don't remember music bank having this format but it's been 2 years since my last music show in korea so idk. what happened then was they had this online ticket balloting system and you get to watch everything if you' got a ticket.

Date: 2012-05-04 02:05 pm (UTC)idk why tv wants to deceive viewers so much. i like the occasional happenings during live broadcasts (except bad singing ofc XD).

Date: 2012-05-04 02:26 pm (UTC)Oh well, I hope it will not happen since U-KISS is
prettyreal bad at lip-syncing. The last time I watched them lip-sync, I cringed at most part esp the part where Soo Hyun has to do his high notes -- poor him. DXno subject
Date: 2012-05-04 02:38 pm (UTC)maybe they are more concerned about the quality of the music so they want to make sure everyone sounds good instead of just taking a chance.
if you're looking at idols for amazing singing then you're obviously looking at the wrong place?
btw, I love how the korean media is working deception and bitterness into this whole sorry. like way to go at being dramatic as usual!!

Date: 2012-05-04 04:05 pm (UTC)Although, if they're taking away the audio teams' work preemptively, I wonder what the audio teams are going to do in response . . .
no subject
Date: 2012-05-04 04:14 pm (UTC)And you've got a point. It seems that by preemptively eliminating their work, KBS is pushing the audio team to strike. What better way to encourage dissent amongst workers than by taking away their work? By taking the first steps to protect themselves, it seems that KBS may be causing that which they fear...

Date: 2012-05-04 04:35 pm (UTC)a studio CD version of a song goes through a load of editing till all sounds blend perfectly into one, while the editing process for a prerecorded live track involves different things e.g. maybe adding more echo to give the impression that the singer sang the song inside a hall.

Date: 2012-05-04 05:08 pm (UTC)Especially considering that most companies seem to outsource parts of their production/mastering to the same outside company AND we know that most of the more popular idols' schedules are already packed full AND the studios aren't always available for use when there are other artists preparing for comebacks at any given time.
Although, I suppose if they only needed to make one, they might find the time.

Date: 2012-05-04 04:23 pm (UTC)if all the singers just used studio versions of their songs to perform i.e. very obvious lipsyncing, mubank wouldn't be accused of trying to deceive viewers.

Date: 2012-05-04 04:28 pm (UTC)This whole thing is so stupid and trivial, isn't it? Well, at least no one I care about is currently performing on shows....
no subject
Date: 2012-05-04 04:47 pm (UTC)and yeah, they would definitely try to perfect their recordings e.g. sing their parts over and over again till they sound their absolute best. but there is still a huge difference between using a studio CD version and a prerecorded live version. using the former makes the lipsyncing very obvious, while using a prerecorded live version doesn't. if you aren't paying that much attention to it, you'd still think everything was live as usual. most ppl can only tell that a singer is using a prerecorded live version when their "live" singing starts to sound exactly the same over several performances.
