Chapter One of the Night

  Chapter 23 Recording End

   After finishing the phone call, I felt inexplicably relieved.

   was indescribably relaxed.

   is like playing a game, an extremely difficult, extremely difficult, extremely difficult level, and cleared at once.

   is like inserting a network cable plug in, and the buckle "clicks", and you are instantly certain in your heart that it is plugged in.

  Refreshing from head to toe.

   Even with this sleep, I was inexplicably full.

   Continue to work the next day.

   officially entered the recording part of vocals.

   To put it bluntly, An Xiaojing's singing is the core of this song.

  The ultimate goal of everyone's work is to enhance her voice and singing.

   Of course, she is far from mature in singing.

   The control of voice, the sorting and expression of emotions are not stable enough.

  The fleshy voice of a person is far less stable than the strings of a musical instrument.

   Therefore, Xu Zhenghua had this mental preparation in advance. She had to grind her feelings over and over again, and pick out all the small flaws, practice and correct them everywhere, and in the end, they would become more and more mature.

   So, on the first day of recording, it was just to practice songs in the studio.

   It didn't start to get interesting until the next day.

   "Yes, the breath here needs to sink a little more. It's not sad, but it's low, understand? When you sing, you can try to suppress the low feeling... and try again!"

   "Okay! I'll find out more!"

  Lu Ming approached with a smile, "Zhenghua, why don't you stop for a while and have something to eat? Let her rest too?"

"to make!"

   He pressed the call button, "Then stop practicing and come out to eat!"

   In fact, her progress is still obvious, and she is already feeling more and more.

While eating takeaways, Xu Zhenghua looked at Xiang Zhongming, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Lao Xiang, didn't you say before that Mr. Luo Guangming would serve as a producer? Even if he was named, he should show his face anyway, right? Why? Haven't seen him come yet?"

   This is a deal with He Jianliang after taking an extra 0.5% of the royalties.

   But if you want to be named, you should show your face anyway?

   Xiang Zhongming flashed a mysterious smile on his face, and replied, "Mr. Luo may have been a little busy lately. It has already been pushed. The producer of this song will probably be Mr. He."

  Tsk!

   Awesome!

  Xu Zhenghua was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, thumbs up, "Mr. Luo is this!"

   It's about this, and it's called an artist!

  I just came in to make money!

   But it doesn't matter, it's a skill if you can get it.

   "He hates me!"

  Xu Zhenghua turned his head and said to Guan Yulan.

   Guan Yulan kept a good smile and replied: "How strange!"

  …………

   "Not bad, this time is very good, keep it in this state, do it again, let's find the best version!"

   In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

   In the past few days, Xu Zhenghua and An Xiaojing are basically in the recording studio together whenever there is no class. The two managers are there most of the time, and only occasionally go out to do errands.

   After three consecutive days of repeated practice and polishing of various details over and over again, An Xiaojing's understanding and mastery of the song "Short Hair" completely exceeded the scope that Xu Zhenghua could guide.

   So he knew that the recording was coming to an end.

   Sure enough, An Xiaojing's performance is still perfect after recording it again.

  Xu Zhenghua exhaled slowly, ignoring An Xiaojing's inquiring eyes behind the glass wall, closed his eyes, and replayed the recorded version just now.

   After listening, he took off his earphones, pointed to An Xiaojing behind the glass wall, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, perfect!"

   He clapped his hands and said loudly: "Everyone, now I announce that the recording of "Short Hair" has officially ended!"

   Several people in the recording studio were only stunned for a moment when they heard the words, and then they all applauded. Da Liu also whistled, and An Xiaojing opened the door and came out to accept everyone's congratulations.

   Xiang Zhongming walked over and said with a smile, "I felt it on the first day. I expected you to record very quickly, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. It was finished in four days!"

   "Haha! Old Xiang, happy cooperation!"

   "Happy cooperation!"

   "You still insist on not doing sound repairs? Even a little repair?"

   "No, no need! She sings very well."

   "Well, you are the producer, you have the final say."

  Even now, there are techniques for tuning sound. After the singer completes the recording, if you feel that it is not perfect, you can revise it a little during post-processing.

   strives for the final version presented, which is the most perfect in my heart.

Of course, no matter how developed or advanced the technology is, as long as you use the knife, professionals can definitely hear it, but the sound repair in this era is generally not serious, and everyone does not think that the studio version appears slightly A little bit of sound revision, what a detrimental thing.

   But if the sound is too heavy, it will still be ridiculed by professional music critics, and when selecting some professional awards, the judges will also lose points seriously.

But Xu Zhenghua insisted on not revising his voice, not because of that step, just because the song "Short Hair" is not difficult to sing. For An Xiaojing's voice, this is her stable vocal range. The recording is already close to complete perfection, and there is really no need to go further.

   Of course, no matter if you fix the sound or not, you still have to do it later.

  Instruments and vocals are recorded separately. Although they can be combined into one track, the sense of space and layering of the sound will be very poor. This must be tuned.

   In order to make the final sound come out, full of the so-called "CD-level texture", the required fullness also depends on certain post-processing techniques for rendering.

   The era of phonograph vinyl records is long gone.

It is said that in the later stage, the very weak breathing sound of a certain vent of the singer will also be erased, and the slight glissando of the strings will also be erased as long as it is not marked in the arranger score. Lose.

   In short, it will be very fine.

   But that is the domain of professionals.

   Not to mention Xu Zhenghua, even Kojima Records has no relevant professionals.

Only at their parent company, Xipo Records, can they have the latest and most advanced equipment, and there are professionals to do this - the rapid development of science and technology, the rapid technological iteration, the advantage is that the more perfect the record, the more perfect it is. It is getting easier and easier to do, but the disadvantage is that companies with less financial strength will gradually be unable to keep up with this rapid iteration.

   Of course, as a producer, Xu Zhenghua must still participate in the whole process of post-production.

   But at that stage, he was only responsible for listening and proposing revision directions.

At this point, the recording phase is over, and Xu Zhenghua is not responsible for the next thing. As the person in charge of this matter, Xiang Zhongming will directly put away the master tape of the final version of the studio that Xu Zhenghua has finalized. , special password box, put it in the safe.

   Until the date of going to Xipo Records for post-production was finalized, several parties made an appointment, the master tape was taken out, used for post-production, and then the master tape was brought back and put in the safe.

   The master tape will not be taken out again until the subsequent pre-release preparations are completed, and the master tape will be escorted to the CD pressing factory by a special person, together with the professional **** personnel of the insurance company.

   As soon as the assembly line is opened, the CD can be released later!

   "Haha, finished recording?"

   Xiang Zhongming's phone was called, and soon, He Jianliang, who had not seen him for several days, came to the first shed, laughed and congratulated An Xiaojing and Xu Zhenghua.

"Short Hair" is not only the hope of Xu Zhenghua and An Xiaojing, but also He Jianliang's value. At this time, I came down to congratulate and generously said that everyone can go out to drink and celebrate tonight, which is included in the production budget, so I provoked There was a burst of cheers from the two recording engineers.

   As the master tape was taken away by He Jianliang and Xiang Zhongming, Xu Zhenghua's heart finally fell.

   He knew that the first step of his crossing over had been truly successful.

   In addition to cooperating with the technical staff of Xipo Records to do certain post-processing, everything else will be completely out of my control.

   And there is only one thing left to do, that is, wait.
