      Unfortunately not. They used to be. They don’t claim they are live, and it’s clear from Kevin and matts positions away from the microphones that it’s not live. Matt moves away from the microphone and the bass stays the same volume etc. I know they can do this live perfectly. But there is no upside to doing this live for the video, and they pre record all their evolutions these days because they are more professional and want better quality. For example 3:18 (in the music video) matts mouth is taking a breath but the bass note keeps going.

    They (and Superfruit) record many of these live videos at the Endless Noise Studio. The studio people once commented that Pentatonix come to the studio so well prepared that they only need three or four takes, and all are perfect takes. They do several only because somebody wants to sing something differently and the fourth take is because they just want to see if they can do it better. See: ua-cam.com/video/xBTF6wRvmAk/v-deo.html (at 9:55).

An added bonus it has 3 originals ('Cracked', 'Can't Sleep Love', and 'Water') and a live version of their medley, 'Evolution of Michael Jackson'. Link ua-cam.com/video/7GMHqYxpnzk/v-deo.html

    Great reaction as always Jacob. To answer your statement, "it seems to perfect." This is because of their work ethic and time together. Each member is dedicated to perfecting their part and each one refuses to let the other down. They rehearse like crazy and since there are no "divas" in the group they all push each other in a positive way to be nothing less than "Perfect". They don't just want to create music they want to be the best and just like an athlete being the best doesn't happen during the game it happens getting out of bed at 5:00 A.M. to work out ;-) . Much love and keep on keepin on J. Also, I am going to beat you up until you to KO's "Down" and "Renegade". J.

    It's absolutely live, but it is recorded. They do use a boom mic above the other singers, and they can tweak the volumes if needed. They also perform most of the evolution videos live in concert. They are brilliant, to be able to remember small clips from 20+ songs, and the order they are in. On the other hand - if you listen to enough of these, when you hear one of the songs, your mind goes right into the next. Other great evolution videos are Evolution of Michael Jackson, Evolution of Beyonce and Evolution of Rihanna.

    On the sing off 10 yrs ago their 4th or 5th performance together ever they changed songs midway through the week to a song their friends from the group Sonos were supposed to sing but they had gotten eliminated so they wanted to honor them by singing Sonos choice! Pentatonix had 2 days to rearrange and perfect it before the performance and they did it themselves without any of the shows assistance! I'm not sure if they had Ben Brahms help or not? It was a really strong performance and probably a turning point for them!? The song was Video Killed The Radio Star it replaced the song Believe by Cher that wasn't working for them and the rest is history!
    So I'm sure that anything they do now they probably break down and arrange fairly quickly?
    I think you'd really enjoy their Sing Off journey? If you play the beginning of each episode it gives some insight as to how they work as a group and how they break down songs and arrange them to fit their style!😊

There are plenty of videos of them singing like this, usually caught on fan's phone camera, in restaurants, an airport, children hospitals, in demonstrations during interviews, whole songs in livestreams, in stairwells (pre-quarantine Tiktoks).

    I always assume these couch routines are at least lightly produced like their studio tracks. You can hear the compression of course, but I'd bet there's also a touch of Melodyne pitch and intonation tweaking, substituting different snare kicks, etc. I've heard them live, and they sound great in that environment, but that's also a lot more forgiving than headphones for noticing things like slightly mismatched entrances or extraneous mouth sounds in the beatbox.

    All evolutions are recorded live. Plus...they likely have condensers on boom stands.
    I have trouble explaining intervals too, especially outside of a common beat. In the example of a swing beat, it's literally the "da" of an eighth note triplet (1 anda, 2 anda, 3 anda 4 anda). You are resting on the "and" (1 da, 2 da, 3 da, 4 da). The tricky part in teaching it is NOT assigning it to a particular genre because that is where every music student wants to go. Swing beats...they make me crazy...LOL

    Check out We Are Young. You will see the couch and I think one mike. The “proximity effect” not an issue because each member is controlling their own volume. They project more when their part is dominant and drop back into the backup singers. The worst performance I saw.... many, many years back was one of their first when they didn’t have their own sound engineers and the mics they had to use were set up for a “normal” band where the mics were off balanced so the end result would be balanced. Since PTX balances their instruments themselves, they need the mics to be evenly balanced so the result is from the members managing their own individual volume. You can look for The Edge of Glory taped in the laundry room. They had to get stuff on YT to keep their fan base happy and growing until they could produce their first EP after they were dropped by Sony. It was a struggle on a $0 budget. The first Pentaholics encouraged them on FaceBook.... that was before Patreon.

    This one is obviously a lip sync, vs. many others which are truly "live." There are a couple of audio & visual giveaways, a visual example being at your video time of 3:18 - 3:19, and 5:20 (watch Matt).
