How does Coldplay make that 'duck like sound?' right before the chorus during the live Up and Up?

Is someone pressing the effect button?

 

here's that sound effect :

Thats a voice sample...Probably from a playback track

^^Yeah, think that's a Will-backing track

Are we talking about the up..up...up in the background ? Sounds like Chris's voice to me :)

the "wop wop wop" (my fav part of the song btw :P)

 

i always thought it was that woman who worked with the Rolling Stones that did some vocals on the record... Mary something? let me google it...

 

Merry Clayton! but i really have no basis for that. there's so many people on that song it's hard to tell, but it definitely sounds like a vocal to me

It could be Annabelle Wallis, Beyonce or Merry Clayton :p There is no way to tell... It could even be one of their children

I like the beeps of Yellow Live too but I dislike all those chopped-up background vocal bits in AHFOD tracks (Birds, AOAl, Army of one, Up&Up...)

And the last albuns they had some kind of fetiche with these beeps xD

The song "Oceans" has those beeps, AHFOD, X marks the spot... I actually dont know why they put them..;probably just to fill up

On Oceans I actually find the beeps fitting the mood somewhat. But not on the other tracks....

I am with you on that! I also think it is a Chris backing track pre-recorded. I love how strong and on-key his voice is on the high notes "You can say what is..." towards the end. Much cleaner and stronger than what we've heard in some other performances.

We have to take in consideration that Chris is getting older xD his voice is not always perfect...but rarely he is off key... Sometimes he might be very tired...all of that influences his voice
