American Fortune Life

? Recording, as a mysterious industry, has always been an industry that freelance musicians yearn for. Of course, with the popularization and promotion of high-tech products, it is possible to realize some things that were considered impossible by ordinary people in the past. In particular, the popularization of computers allows everyone to enjoy the fun of digital recording. Of course, the recorded effect cannot be compared with the works recorded in professional recording studios.

A professional recording studio is a special recording place built by people to create specific recording environment acoustic conditions. The acoustic characteristics of the recording studio play a very important role in the quality of recording production and its products.

It's not the first time Andy has entered the recording studio, so naturally he won't have that kind of inexplicable little excitement. What's more, he is really not a musician, and he is even more lacking in the dreams that musicians pursue. .

However, now that the album contract has been signed with Universal Music, and Universal Music is well prepared, Andy has come all the way to Hawaii. Singles, and songs that he has sung but never released EP. To be honest, these songs have long been popular in the United States and even the world. This time, if there are not a few new songs in the album, it is really a bit out of the album circle. money feeling.

In the afternoon, after Andy and Ivana flew to Honolulu, they first sent Ivana back to the Smith Family Vacation Manor, and after saying hello to the happy old butler George, Andy took The bodyguards formed a mighty convoy and rushed to the recording studio where everyone in Universal Records was located according to the address they got.

Upon receiving the news, Lucian Granger, the president and CEO of Universal Music Group, immediately summoned his staff to prepare for Andy Smith, the super famous singer of their company.

The grievances that had been aired for two days have long been thrown to the back of their minds. After all, everyone knows that Andy Smith cannot be treated with the same attitude and requirements as a singer. Anyway, the new richest man in the world is finally from I took time out of my busy schedule, and I will spend more time recording songs. It is said that Bill Gates earns 250 US dollars per second, 20 million US dollars per day, and 7.8 billion US dollars a year. . .

Then Andy Smith, the richest man in the world worth 50 billion US dollars, earns an average of 6,659 US dollars per minute. Just thinking about it, everyone who came to record the album for Andy Smith this time felt Alexander.

They are not working with a person, but with a walking money printing machine!

"Bang bang—"

A row of ten black SUVs guarded the front and back, and a black Rolls-Royce in the middle parked in the open space in the front yard of the house where the recording studio is located. Immediately, a dozen bodyguards with indifferent faces and burly bodies opened the door from the SUVs. When he got down, his cold eyes swept across the crowd of Universal Records headed by Lucian standing not far away,

Then quickly spread out, scattered around, each facing a direction and guarding.

A white sneaker protruded from the Rolls-Royce whose car door had been pulled to the ground. Andy Smith, who was wearing a white T-shirt and colorful beach shorts, bent down and got out of the car. Shang Yang, with a faint smile on his face, walked over to the CEO of Universal Music who led the people up.

"Good afternoon, Mr Granger."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Smith, it is a great pleasure to meet you."

Feeling the enthusiasm of the other party, Andy nodded with a smile. After shaking hands with the other party, and under the introduction of Lucian, he got to know the team members who made the album for him this time, especially Max Martin, Ku Kharrell two top music producers.

"Trouble both of you." Andy said to the two with a smile on his face. He knew his own family affairs. After all, he had never studied vocal music systematically. I don't even believe it, so if you want to make the album perfect, you really can't do without the help of these two masters on the opposite side.

"It's our honor!" Max Martin and Cook Harrell both had modest smiles on their faces, and they couldn't see the depression of being left alone for two days, so don't say that Westerners are not hypocritical, You know, there are really few people in this world who can truly be themselves and live out their true selves.

Perhaps before, they complained unhappy in private, but when they really met Andy, the newly promoted richest man in the world, young big shots, those of them who had been in the entertainment industry for decades People will also be sincere and fearful, and become that they don't know their own smiling faces.

"Mr. Smith, this way please—" Lucian saw that Andy Smith did not have the repulsive and indifferent attitude he had worried about before, but was very friendly and easy to get along with. He was greatly relieved, and while smiling and extending his hand to invite, he watched Andy smile and nod at him, shaking his head in his heart and smiling bitterly. Be kind, only those who are arrogant and ignorant will feel that they are different and superior to others.

"This recording studio is the best in Hawaii. Although it is in the suburbs of Honolulu, it can also bring musicians a recording experience away from the hustle and bustle..."

While walking, Andy listened to Lucian explaining the history of this recording studio and the songs and albums produced. The decoration of the recording studio is mainly made of wood and colorful, which gives people the feeling of a country cottage, which is better than other professional recording studios. The room is more interesting. The recording studio is surrounded by luxuriant trees and gardens, where people can enjoy the inspiring natural scenery. The quiet environment and numerous recording equipment make it feel like you are in a music paradise.

"It provides musicians with a wide selection of digital and analog recording equipment, including many microphones...preamps and monitors..."

Listening to Lucian Barabara talking about the names of some professional equipment, Andy smiled and nodded in a half-understandable manner, as if he really knew it well. Can't show cowardice is not.

"...the wooden upholstery of the studio creates a warm, full tone that is unique to the sound here."

After visiting the radio studio, Andy saw many guitar collections in this recording studio—well, anyway, there are many guitars of famous brands, which are full of two walls. Cleary, and a series of control pedals are provided for use with it. On the contrary, there are two representative classic pianos - Yamaha C2 and Fender Rhodes 73.

Seeing these two pianos, Andy couldn't help itching for a moment, smiled and said to Lucian: "Can I play it?"

"Of course, hehe, I believe this is their honor." Lucian laughed.

"Hehe..." Andy shook his head with a noncommittal smile at Lucian's little sycophant. Under the gaze of a large group of top musicians, he walked up to Yamaha C2, sat down, moved his fingers, and closed his eyes. Started bouncing.

A familiar and classic "Fur Elise" piano piece, the melodious sound of the piano sounded in the recording studio.

"Papa papa—"

There was a burst of warm applause, and Andy waved his hands modestly and shook his head with a chuckle: "Thank you for your applause, I haven't played for a long time, I'm a little rusty."

The people present chuckled and applauded. They all smiled kindly at Andy's words and performance. In terms of real level, at least half of the people present could easily crush Andy's playing skills. However, facing Andy For a big man like Smith, who can say anything else, just applaud. . .

"... Next, Mr. Smith, you need to choose a song first, and become familiar with its intonation and rhythm.

After that, you can enter the radio room, put on the earphones, and aim at the microphone. It should be noted that when singing, please do not shake from side to side or back and forth. During this process, the sound engineer will adjust the level, microphone and accompaniment for you. Loudness, choice of microphone and many other issues, for you, it is a good opportunity to open your voice and audition.

The sound engineer will record the song for you from the beginning to the end according to the preset EQ parameter value, and listen to the recorded dry sound. After the audition, we will make additional recordings for individual problems one by one. For those of you who have certain singing skills, we will guide you to sing the inner voice expression in the music. . . "

After the visit, the person in charge of the album recording accompanied Andy to sit on the sofa, and Max Martin began to explain the next recording process and precautions to Andy.

"So, Mr. Smith, would you like to sing that song first?"

"..." Andy pondered for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Have the accompaniments for these songs been recorded?"

"Yes, it's all been recorded before."

"Let's start with Hall of Fame!" Andy laughed.

""Hall of Fame"? Well, let's start from here!" Max Martin was taken aback for a moment. This song is also an inspirational song that he likes very much. To be honest, when he got these lyrics and music, he was really surprised What I admire most about Andy Smith is the absolute first classic!
