    Interesting. Here’s a question I’ve been thinking about. Do most artists lip sync? Or do that thing where they have the track running in their headphone to sing along with?

    I have some background as a singer and I can’t imagine what it would be like to perform in these huge outdoor venues with very little sound feedback for my voice.

      So far from what I’ve seen they do not lip-sync, BUT they do use equipment as a Direct Input to alter there voice.

      So those headphones in their ear are called monitors, most of the time there are also speakers on the stage that point towards the musicians as monitors as well. It helps them listen to everything going on, it is so different being on the other side of where the speakers are pointed. it’s usually just sound echoing and reverbs on the stage, so those headphones help let the artists listen to the sounds live.

        Oh wow that’s pretty cool. I didn’t think they did anything to alter their voice live. I wonder what the science behind that is. I saw Luke Combs a couple months ago at a football stadium and was blown away by the fact that he just came out and sang for two hours (he’s not really dancing and performing lol). So it’s been on my mind for a little bit. And the speaker thing makes a lot of sense as well.
