Songs recorded in a studio sound very different from those songs performed in a normal setting.
Echo, reverb or delay effects are added in production to help things like vocals sound closer to natural to us. If you heard someone next to you indoors talk and no sound reflected off of anything, it would sound strange. Not only do we normally hear someone’s voice, but we hear all the reflected sound caused by walls and other reflective surfaces.
