After hearing the songs live, I really need to talk about something I’ve noticed over the past year. It feels like BigHit has been over-processing Bangtan’s voices in the studio versions of their songs. They still sound like themselves, but sometimes the vocals come across as a bit artificial because of the heavy use of autotune and effects.

Now, I’m not a music expert I don’t really know much about autotuning or all the technical sound changes but even then, the difference is noticeable.

What makes it more obvious is how incredible they sound live. Their live vocals feel much more natural, raw, and honestly even more beautiful than the studio versions. The difference is strong enough that I find myself preferring to stream their live performances over the official tracks on Spotify or YouTube. Unlike many other artists whose songs often sound better in the studio than live, BTS feels like the complete opposite.

I'm loving the album more after listening to their live version
