re-verb....he used autotune on those noise tracks...clear as daylight

The re-verb wouldn't fix him missing notes though, and yeah some of the Noise tracks are blatant.

Probably naive to think his voice is as good live as it is on the CD

The weeknd doses his shyt in reverb, thats what makes his voice airy.


Then he fixes the missing notes with either Melodyne or Auto-tune.


If you listen to his old shyt, you would notice he is not really hittin notes, but rather harmonizing and oohh and ahhing.


Thats cuz back then they was jus using basic reverb and auto-tune. Now that he got money and a stronger engineering squad you can hear the difference in his voice, with the all the high notes, mike jacks impressions and all :skip:


Homie cant sing, his engineering team is BEASTMODE tho :wow:

:ahh: pretty good performance.. one of my favorite tracks

Obviously his live vocals still don't match up to the studio ones, when he was first out his team was regularly saying he doesn't use auto-tune etc. Is it studio magic or what?

I've seen several live performaces of this dude singing and everytime I'm like :dafuk: then I got to listen to his album right after to wash the shyt from my ears

dude is talented bu he obviously as his voice enhanced like a mutha fukkka in the studio


he should give his producers and engineers half his earnings

i cant lie..his melody/harmony/voice control >>>>>>>>


thats what makes him able to make those With you's and Oh you's sound great on The Party and the After Party...mix that with the overpowering sonic beats and the amazing arrangement and you have :jawalrus:


take in rolling stone for example, before he sings I got you, he has to rearrange his whole voice, because if he just tried to "sing" but until then..i got you... it would have sounded garbo

It's more the strength of his voice.. from 1:17 onwards, never heard him sing live with that power in his voice

I want to believe it's real :sadcam:

nah my neega....its not even that
It;s just the trance like nature of the music bro..No one can make this much quality of music in such a short time about such fukked up subject matter without being able to sing but being able to sound like they can sing.

The music is addictive as a drug and the marketing for it has been perfect to a T from before the man was even known..

something doesn't add up..
