American Fortune Life

Chapter 1746 It's always been cheap for your own people

"...you are in the Hall of Fame, woo woo woo..."

"Cough cough."

Andy heard his own high-pitched broken voice from the monitor earphones, he couldn't help but shook his head and coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment. Although the singing voice was very different from his own voice that he usually heard, but , Andy, who is not recording for the first time, naturally knows that this is due to the special acoustic environment of the recording studio and all the equipment used for recording. To put it simply, I found that my voice has become dry, there is no reverberation, and there is no echo.

However, there is no way to "fool" the treble breaking sound or something. In the studio, those would sound uncannily obvious. This is because when recording in a studio, any changes in pitch, rhythm, breath, and emotion will be recorded without modification.

Although, after the recording is completed, the post-production process will modify and make up for the shortcomings in the singing, and strengthen the excellent places. But after all, Andy is not just a studio singer, he can't stop singing live for the rest of his life, right?

Moreover, everything has two sides.

In the later stage, some deficiencies can be modified, but at the same time, the original voice characteristics of people may be erased. It can't be turned into an electronic sound. . .

"It seems that I overestimated my voice a bit. I can't sing this high pitch at all. It's really flawed without professional training!"

With Andy's current status, naturally he doesn't need to worry about anything, he generously admitted his shortcomings, his voice and singing skills are indeed not a star and a half behind those real singers, what about singing "Five Hundred Miles From Home" "This kind of country music is not a problem. Once you want to sing a high-pitched high-pitched voice, you will be exposed.

"It's actually not bad, control your breath, let's do it a few more times..."

Hearing the sound engineer's obviously comforting words, Andy looked at the other party with a strange expression, until the other party's face changed slightly, and then jokingly said: "I know your sound engineer's "very good, do it again" Basically, it can be understood as "What the hell are you singing, do it all over again! "

"No, Mr. Smith, I never meant that..."

"Pfft—"

"puff--"

Hearing Andy's words, several people in the recording studio almost burst out laughing, trying their best to hide the smile on their faces, and the sound engineer's complexion changed drastically and he quickly waved his hands,

Stuttering in his mouth, he argued that he absolutely didn't mean that. Although this was the most common subtext used by their sound engineer, he absolutely couldn't admit it to Andy.

"Hehe, don't get excited, I'm just joking, I don't mean anything else." Andy knew that his joke had scared the other party, so he reached out and patted the other party's arm with a smile to show that he was really just joking.

Looking at the sound engineer who didn't know whether to cry or smile, Andy cast his eyes on Max Martin, pondered for a while and said: "This high note must be performed with ease. To be honest, I really don't have this ability. Maybe it's time to find another way."

Max Martin frowned slightly, and said with a serious face: "You mean post-processing?"

"Of course not, that kind of method can't fool people, and it will be exposed immediately. I mean harmony." Andy expressed his thoughts.

"Improving the pitch of the accompaniment, adding harmony to your powerful voice, is feasible..." Max Martin frowned, reached for the lyrics on the table, and started to study again.

"Perhaps this is really a good idea. Using a female voice to perform this high note will have an unexpected effect... Wait, a soprano may appear sharp and thin. What do you think of a duet of female voices plus harmony?" Cook Harrell, who had been meditating all this time, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands to express his thoughts.

Max Martin glanced at the other party unhappily, then shook his head with a smile, and Cook Harrell also laughed, and Andy saw that there was some story he didn't know, and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Max, why are you So look at Cook?"

"Hehe, Mr. Smith, you don't know, our Mr. Harrell's favorite thing is to add harmony to songs, that's his favorite."

After listening to it, Andy came to a sudden, chuckled and said: "Actually, you can really try it. A single female voice really doesn't have that kind of power. If two sopranos are put together, you can try it. If the effect is good, at worst I'll find two It’s enough to cooperate with famous female singers.”

"Then try it?"

"try it!"

I tried it, and quickly found two female accompaniment singers, joined the female duet, and re-recorded it again. This time Andy didn't sing broken notes again, and he also performed a sense of strength.

Holding the earphones, Andy listened through the monitor earphones, and the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily, and he said to Max Martin: "The effect is surprisingly good, but it has a different mood, so let's do this, I invite two female singers to cooperate with me .”

"Anyone selected?" Max Martin asked, which was something he had to know as an album producer.

"Well, I originally wanted Cheryl to sing with me for the song "saysomething", so she will be counted as one, and for the song "needyouno", I plan to invite Shakira to cooperate, and with her, I think there are three of us If we perform this song together, there should be no problem."

Since Andy is going to release an album, he will naturally not let go of the very well-behaved Cheryl. As for Shakira, he has been thinking about it for a long time. Of course, he needs to create opportunities to get along. Of course, Andy will not waste things.

Max Martin and Cook Harrell looked at each other, and then they both turned their eyes to Andy, nodded slightly, Max Martin took the lead and said: "Shakira belongs to Sony, will there be no problem?"

"No problem, I will contact Shakira directly. I believe she will not refuse. After all, the quality of the music is there. As for Sony's problem, let Lucian have a headache, hehe." Andy directly blamed Universal Music.

"Well, that's fine. Shakira's singing skills are naturally beyond doubt. Cheryl's voice is also very characteristic, and the treble is also good. There should be no problem. Then, we will record a few other songs, "Skin", " heneStandTogether" and "SomethingJustLikeThis", these three songs are very suitable for the characteristics of your voice..."

Now that Andy himself has decided on the candidate, Max Martin and Cook Harrell will naturally not question anything unwisely, and the two female singers he mentioned are both long-established figures in the pop music industry. Andy, an amateur singer, is definitely more than enough, so the two of them didn't continue to struggle with these problems, but began to explain the next few excellent songs to Andy, a big man, and the precautions when singing.

When you get busy, time will fly by quickly. In a blink of an eye, it is almost dusk, and Andy has been singing very attentively for two hours. Although there are hot and cold air convection vents in the recording studio, it is still hot and quiet , to be honest, if you stay here for a long time, this kind of claustrophobic environment really makes people feel very depressing.

"Gudong Gudong—"

Andy gulped down the mineral water, used the cool water to quench his smoky throat, and kept fanning the T-shirt on his body, hoping that the cool air from the air conditioner would ease the sweat on his body.

"call--"

"That's it for today. I can't take it anymore. It's too dry!" Andy took a deep breath after drinking the water. He didn't like the sticky feeling of sweating in the dark, but at this moment his T-shirt had long been covered. Drenched in sweat.

"Well, let's stop here today, Mr. Smith, when will you come tomorrow?"

"Let me take a look. If my throat is fine, I will come over to record for two hours tomorrow morning. If I don't feel well, I'll do it in the afternoon. I can't do it. I'm so hot. I'll go take a shower first, please, both of you." Let's see you tomorrow." Andy didn't want to stay in the recording studio for a moment, shook hands with the two producers and the sound engineer, and walked out of the recording studio.

Seeing Andy coming out, Lucian who was on the phone said a few words, then hung up the phone and said with a smile on his face, "Thanks for your hard work."

Andy shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "It's really too hot, especially the radio room. Although there are vents for air conditioning, but with the lights, it's still too hot to stay for a long time."

"Indeed, but there is no way. The radio room needs this kind of effect, without the slightest noise." Lucian was also very helpless, but there was no way.

"I've got good news for you. Sony has already settled the matter. You can invite Shakira over at any time."

"Oh? You move fast enough." Andy couldn't help smiling when he heard the news, and said to Lucian.

"To be honest, this is cheap Sony. After all, being able to cooperate with you is definitely a great opportunity for Shakira. I don't deny the popularity of this Latin queen, but it is still a great opportunity to cooperate with you." She took advantage of it." Lucian was also a little depressed, if possible, he really wanted to persuade Andy to choose a female singer under Universal Records.

"Hehe, that's it. I want to go. I'll see you tomorrow. I'll call Shakira and Cheryl as soon as possible and let them come over." Andy smiled and shook hands with Lucian. Accompanied, he walked out of the house where the recording studio was located, bent over and got into the car that was already on standby.

In the cool compartment, while sipping mineral water, Andy took out his mobile phone, found Cheryl's number, and dialed it.

"Hey, it's me, what are you doing?"

"Damn it, you arranged my job, you don't know what I'm doing..." Cheryl's coquettish reproach came from the phone.
