Both lives are heavily edited, the end.
I don't know how you can nitpick comparing the processing level of two heavily edited lives while you're going crazy when I just say "You can't judge the vocals/you can hear heavy editing throughout the show".
This is going anywhere, really.

However I will try to answer you, WE WISH sounds more polished, but it can be due to the back track which is kinda loud, adding to the overall smoothness. So no big difference imo.

I don't know what the heck happened to AVEX staff but they changed editing technology. I guess they switched from using Melodyne to using auto-tune. Now Ayu sounds like robot all the time. If you watch Asahi Dream Live you'll hear that old editing software was used and Ayu sounds like human! But all the rest live releases are real nightmare. I'm on verge of making a petition to stop this auto-tune abuse. The last live DVD I CAN enjoy is CDL 2012-2013.

What an attitude, so much disrespect as always. I was at 4 A Best lives and yes, she sounded good. It's not what we are discussing. It's overediting.
What a relief someone who actually read my posts! Glad you understood my point. At some point I thought my English was quite awful...
I'm not saying she was bad the whole show, I only heard like 10 sec. She doesn't need that much editing anymore IMO (at least I hope...), and that may explain why she sounds like a robot. She may be singing good enough, it's not perfect but it doesn't' require so much processing like in 2008.

And to me it is also very distracting. I'm already distracted by all the "drama" acting, all the dancers, now I'm also distracted by her voice! She sounds so perfect all the time, I feel less emotion through her voice, its seems so easy for her to sing without any effort. It's really weird. Those are one of the things that keep me from being excited by new lives.
