You want it straight? It may not be AI but it's boring. Those sound like obviously synth horns which adds to the artificial sound, there's nothing going on but chord changes and those repetitive horn stabs. Zzzzzzz.....
I'm not a constant viewer of Rick Beato's videos but I've consistently liked the ones I've seen - can you point to a few you think are fluff? He strikes me as extremely knowledgeable and a really solid musician and production guy. Seems like a good guy too. His son has amazing perfect pitch...
@rob aylestone - not insults I was asking a serious question based on your unambiguous statement -
"three minutes of absolute silence without city noises"
How else could one reasonably interpret that other than you can't hear the very obvious noise floor in both of those videos?
Further you...
"All I hear are close miked voices"
Again....???
*This* is what close-mic'd sounds like.
Or more aptly - the original video at the start of the thread.
???
I've asked you before how your hearing checks out - in both of their garage videos I've seen "Rewrite The Stars" and "The Night We Met" there's ambient city noise clearly evident. If you seriously can't hear it your hearing needs looking at.
Apparently you and Fil have really strong feelings about parking garage promo videos. What I mostly care about is whether they can actually sing well. They can.
You acknowledge that you're not in their league as a singer but don't think they're all that. Okay. I'm guessing they'll manage to...
What's your motivation for posting a "they're faking a parking garage video!" review put up by someone who themselves haven't made much of an impact as a musician?
Callas had a vocal instrument that was useful in one capacity, she wouldn't do well in the arena in which they operate.
If they were in a studio environment with a backing track or even performing with a band or backing track they'd be that much more locked onto the center of pitch.
I'm using the term "cathedral reverb" as a general type - the kind of natural reverb found in a cavernous environment with hard surfaces that it sounded like you didn't think is a genuine phenomenon in parking garages which anyone who's paid even casual attention knows it is.
You couldn't hear...
