And if the guitar was indeed in standard tuning in the studio, and the song is just for example in A instead of E, why not use the "normal" half step down tuning live and hence play it in Ab?

I know that *I* wouldn't want to make things too complicated and just replicate everything like done in the studio, but with the respective guitars tuned a half step down (Eb instead of E, etc.) Only exception would probably be tunings like Drop D, I don't know if you actually can down-tune those, as I only ever played in standard E tuning up until now
I feel like having a section of guitars tuned down an extra half step is more of a hassle. Pull up any of those songs and check, there's no difference in tuning.

DryCounty, I'll have to check but I believe the studio version was tuned C to E and the live version is Cb to Eb.
