All the comments said this is actually really good… what do y’all think?

this likely isn’t “isolated” at all as it sounds WAAYY too clean to be isolated from a live performance vocal with doubling, effects, etc.

What is more likely, this is the direct mic feed from the performance.

In the bootleg recording community there are people who don’t even go inside the venue but remain outside, using receivers just to pick up the IEM mixes, monitor feeds, etc. They capture it all at once and compile what’s needed later.

It’s very close to wiring into the FOH itself and recording straight from the console.

It’s a little controversial because you often hear small things out of context and an isolated vocal without any doubling or layering can sound like “katy perry doesn’t know how to sing lol”.

source; live musician, technician, perpetually disappointed user of the various stem separator things that sound like a constant phasey mess, not necessarily a KP fan but can respect the talent and expertise to perform in this capacity.
