Live vs. Overdubs - Magic Tour (Inspired by Chinwonder2)

Thank you for giving an answer! I've actually written down most of the overdubs you've noticed, but there are some I might have to check out again, just to have the confirmation that they truly are overdubs.

Also sorry, if it isn't easy to understand what I say, as english isn't my first language.

you're welcome.

it really was just a 1st draft and i lost interest and kinda forgot about it for a while.

So far, it seems promising. The only thing that should be changed is that the 'I did it for looooooove' part was probably overdubbed, because on the official release audio, not only is Freddie sharp, his voice is also very raspy, whereas on the official release, it's practically perfect. Someone else is also in the background giving back-up vocals (I think it's Roger, but I'm not sure)

Looking back at it, for this part it may be a case of it being both overdubbed and pitch-corrected. But then again, I don't have access to software like Melodyne, so it'd be impossible for me to have a concrete answer to it.

Also, I do think that's Roger overdubbing those vocals, like you were probably thinking.

Thanks for reviewing what I've worked on so far by the way.

For all video releases for Budapest, a complete verse was cut out but is included on the 2012 CD. On video releases, the guitar solo follows right after the first verse (or chorus, depending on who you ask) instead of the second verse (or first verse, if you assume that before that is the chorus).

Update 2: Hello again!

I have started work on the 2nd preview a few hours ago. So far, things are going pretty smoothly, and I'm finishing work on the first half of the analysis that I've written on the document that I've shared, a few messages earlier.

Also, I'd need help on pointing out the overdubs, patches, and pitch-correction made for Wembley 11/07, so if you detect any of them, feel free to mention them. And please, to avoid repeats, please check out the document, and see what has been pointed out already.

By the way, I'd like to thank everyone that has checked out this thread, as I didn't expect it to get this much attention in such short amount of time, so thank you very much!

Don't worry about it. I was actually gonna write what you pointed out at one point, and forgot about for a while.

Thanks for reminding me of this cut on the video releases, by the way.

Update: I've almost finished work on the first half of Wembley 11/07's analysis, so expect a preview in the coming days.

See you all very soon!

I only have one editing suggestion, and it would be to make it so the individual singing lines are played immediately side by side instead of playing two long chunks of a recording with multiple fixes.

For example, for 7/11/1986 play the undubbed "there's only one direction" line and then IMMEDIATELY cut to the dubbed version of the same line with no other bits inbetween.

This way, if the single line is played immediately one after another, you'll have an easier time getting skeptics to hear the (sometimes) highly noticeable difference a bit easier. And if you've ever read the comments section on any video talking about the overdubs, or Freddie being anything but a GOD OF SINGING--you'll know what I mean by skeptics lol. And some people just genuinely cannot hear a difference so they need to have it spelled out a bit more.

That said--excellent work and I look forward to more! This kind of thing always fascinates me.

It's good to see you here, and I'm actually flattered by the fact I'm doing a great job so far.

I wish you good luck for when you'll start work on Milton Keynes, by the way.

Thank you again, for being such a great source of inspiration.

A fun fact about the font is that when starting editing on the video, I actually found it on my downloaded fonts by accident.

Thank you for your efforts so far! This must be a monumental task. Look forward to the final product 🙌

Update: The second preview of the video is almost done, and will come either tonight or tomorrow. I sadly can't tell when exactly I'll upload it, as editing this takes a lot of time and patience for me. I hope you are looking forward to it when it's done.

Stay tuned,
