Chinese entertainment for engineering students

After discussing with Professor Jin, Brother Yan and Sister Zhang both ran to watch Sister Mao's recording. This was their first time seeing such a top-notch recording studio, so it was okay if they couldn't understand the equipment.

This was the first time they had seen a studio with a microphone for each individual drum. The most exaggerated one was the piano. Can you believe it, one piano and four microphones?

In the recording studio, what Wang Xu is actually most satisfied with and most dissatisfied with is this piano.

This piano was also bought by Wang Xu from a scrapyard. It was a Steinway with paint peeling off.

Later, it was repaired by Wang Xu's skillful hands, and the sound was still well preserved. Even Wang Xu himself felt quite satisfied.

What I am dissatisfied with is that the keys of this piano are really old. When I first bought them, they were yellow, brittle, rough, and even had cracks in some places. Although it can be used after repair, it still feels a little bad and may affect the pianist's performance.

Moreover, the paint surface of a piano is quite important. Wang Xu's one is really worn out, with some serious spots and wear. Wang Xu didn't dare to polish it off and repaint it casually. It would really affect the operation of the piano's sound, so he could only watch it like this.

It's not that I can't, but it's just that re-polishing and re-painting the piano requires a lot of procedures. Just painting and waiting for it to dry takes a month, which is really troublesome. So I put it on hold and will deal with it again when a replacement becomes available.

Wang Xu looked at their fresh appearance and shook his head. There is really a lack of high-end equipment in China. Contestants like this who attend the Spring Festival Gala every year have no chance to use high-end booths. No wonder Professor Jin is so happy to see them. .

The recording studio now earns thousands and tens of thousands of dollars every day. It is no cheaper than the one in Xiangjiang. It is even more expensive, let alone what it was in my childhood. Who told us that this is the only one for scorpion poop, so the supply is still in short supply.

The people Wang Jinghua is most afraid of now are those who come to rent a shed. Those who dare to come here to rent a shed are not short of money, and their status is usually higher than the one. It is not easy to offend anyone, and they often get worried about scheduling matters.

She has already discussed with Wang Xu to renovate a slightly larger recording studio. Wang Xu won't have any trouble changing the equipment. He is already familiar with it anyway. The new recording engineer he has found is coming back soon, but the problem is, The problem of Zhou Li's long-term overtime work that he originally wanted to solve could not be solved.

The talent really gave her a headache.

However, this time, we have renegotiated with Yangyin to build one or two high-end recording studios for them. Wang Jinghua thinks this is okay. We are short of recording engineers, and Yangyin is not lacking. There are many who have no work, but it will affect My unique status setting here.

It's a pity that it can't be dug out. Iron rice bowls are still very popular these days. Who would be willing to run out and hang out with private companies without any special reason. But it seems that the future will also be the same. It is really a story of thirty years in the east and west of Hedong.

Wang Xu thought it was nothing. This recording studio was just a transitional one, and he had a lot of skills that he had not yet used. Apart from anything else, if the Shuimu Automation Department could really push forward his project, the tuning software alone would be the world's most advanced. Top notch.

Various surround sound, multi-channel, and field effect adjustments have not been added yet. Moreover, as an engineering student, how can technology not spread? If it doesn’t spread, what kind of technology can we develop? Just maintain the aloof status of your own recording studio. These technologies all come from here, so this recording studio is a holy place.

And how much money can you make from a recording studio? If you build a top-notch studio for someone, charging 300 is not too much. It’s cheaper than imported ones, which is okay. I made all the technology myself, so earning 150 is not too much.

A recording studio would probably have to work for a year to earn this kind of money. And if the imperial capital is built, there must be no demonic capital? Yangyin has it, can Diying not want it? Yiyin, where is Shenyin? Then there are some second-rate universities that will expand their enrollment in a few years. You don’t have top-notch equipment. How dare you call it a university?

And Xiangjiang, overseas. So, just grab it with peace of mind, oh, no, just make money.

Therefore, Wang Xu's business, to put it bluntly, is to gain reputation. Now that the reputation has risen, how long will it take before it spreads?

Wang Xu looked at Yan Weiwen and Zhang Ye, who were still in high spirits. They were squatting next to the piano and carefully watching the somewhat special microphone at the bottom of the piano.

Yan Weiwen even wanted to drill down to see why there was a microphone there. If the sound engineer Zhou Li hadn't told them, they would never have imagined that there was a microphone under the piano.

Wang Xu felt like he was laughing and laughing. Who would have thought that these two serious singers on TV could be so lively when they were young. Although they are actually very old, Zhang Ye is okay, he is only one year older than Wang Fei. .

But Yan Weiwen is actually in his thirties, but at this moment, he is as excited as a child.

That microphone is actually specially used to record the bass resonance at the bottom of the piano. It will not be separated into tracks yet. Instead, it will be premixed directly with the signals collected by other microphones through a special mixer made by Wang Xu, and then All recorded into the same piano track.

This is still a consideration of cost. There are too many audio tracks that are difficult to operate at this stage. It is better to pre-modulate them to ensure the sound of the piano. But in the future, it can actually be separated into different tracks, so that the timbre characteristics of different pianos can even be simulated by adjusting the mixing mode.

Wang Xu's current piano records so well. In fact, these four premixes play a very important role in making the piano's tone fuller and rounder, with fewer flaws. This is a pure technical achievement.

Anyway, there are so many tricks that can be done in the field of acoustics. The tuning software available on the market in later generations can already support the synthesis of hundreds of audio tracks, but few people can figure out what to do with so many.

This is why Wang Xu is not afraid of the proliferation of technology. This recording studio is actually his laboratory. Many ideas can be tested here. I don’t know about anything else. Anyway, Wang Xu is having a lot of fun.

The senior brother who helped him test the microphone last time also contacted Wang Xu through Professor Yan recently and planned to come to him for a visit. Wang Xu also had the idea of ​​​​collaborating with the Institute of Acoustics, so the two hit it off.

He plans to invite some people who are really into acoustics to come here to play with him, his speakers, his microphones, his future planned headphones, further bone conduction, etc.

Wang Xu couldn't rely entirely on himself. Shuimu didn't have anyone specializing in acoustics, but his neighbors did. They had already harvested their own wool, so shouldn't he come back with it?
