Superstar

"What are you talking about?" Fujin’s voice interrupted Hugo’s thoughts, and Hugo realized that he was so excited that he directly said the thoughts in his mind, without in-depth thinking or After tossing around, just blurted out.

Hugo himself was frightened by this bold idea, and was stunned, but then an indescribable excitement jumped in his mind, like an electric current, causing Hugo to tremble all over his body. , "I mean, why should we finish the production of the new album in the studio?"

Fujin stared at Hugo incredulously, as if he were an idiot, "Because we need a table, a bunch of recording equipment, and a really quiet soundproof room?"

Hugo opened his mouth, the thoughts in his mind were boiling, "a computer, a recording software and a dynamic microphone", but he was choked by himself immediately, because he only realized now that he is now in 1996. Year, not 2014.

In the future when electronic recording equipment is fully developed, people can complete recording work anywhere. A computer plus a recording software will be enough to complete all the complicated tasks in the recording studio. This has also made countless cover singers appear on the Internet, and they have become popular, the most famous of which is Justin Bieber. The development of the Internet and electronic equipment makes professional recording work simple, even amateurs can easily complete it.

In 2014, the equipment in the recording studio will be divided into two categories, one is traditional equipment, which is cumbersome to operate and heavy, but very delicate, which can retain the singer’s voice to the greatest extent; the other is electronic equipment, It is easy to carry and easy to operate, and can simply and rudely complete many tasks that traditional equipment can't do.

However, even if all amateurs can complete recording work in their own homes, why does the recording studio still have an irreplaceable status? There are many reasons, mainly because of the sophistication and accuracy of traditional recording equipment, and also because of the consideration of sound insulation.

The precision and accuracy of the recording equipment is very easy to understand. Singing in a traditional recording studio requires a very high level of singers, because the studio will present the most essential things of the singer, and even a little bit of imperfections will be magnified, which is also convenient. The producer can make corrections little by little. Although the electronic recording equipment is very advanced, its limitations are relatively large. It still requires a variety of equipment in the recording studio. In the recording studio, even people with impaired tone can record the perfect sound through the fine adjustment of the recording equipment. rail.

The sound insulation effect is actually a further supplement to the recording process, because the external environmental sound is very complicated, not only increasing the workload of recording, but also causing great harm to the music itself and the singer's singing. To put it simply, recording at the airport, let alone recording, it is estimated that even the singer can't hear anything while singing. Not to mention recording outdoors, even if there is no noise, countless noises will make the sound quality terrible.

In the future when electronic equipment is developed, many people will record in their own garage or basement, hoping to achieve better sound insulation effects, but the echoes generated in different spaces during recording will have an impression on the sound reception effect, and ultimately affect the recording master. The quality of the belt.

It can be said that even in 2014, Hugo's idea is incredible-it can be realized with perfect equipment, but no one will do it. Not to mention that it is 1996. It is impossible to achieve, and no one will try to achieve it.

Therefore, in the face of Fujin’s doubts, Hugo was stunned. He originally thought this was a whimsical idea, but found that it was not realized at all, which made Hugo very disappointed.

Seeing Hugo's undisguised disappointment, Fujin couldn't help being even more surprised. He thought Hugo was just joking, "Hugo, we are talking about the third regular album, not the live album!"

In fact, albums are divided into categories. Apart from singles and ep's, there is also a strict distinction between studio albums and live albums. When people talk about "new albums," they basically refer to studio albums. The so-called live album is very easy to understand. It is an album that is recorded at the concert and performance. This kind of album includes the cheers, screams and other noises of the performance, so that the audience who buys the album can be immersed in it. Feel the heat wave at the performance scene that day.

Although the sales of live albums are far inferior to studio albums, there are still many fans, because everyone knows that the atmosphere at the performance site is the most inciting, that kind of studio albums do not have. The enthusiasm and carefreeness are enough to make every scene unique.

But even for a live album, there are requirements for the environment. The space of the performance venue, the placement of recording equipment, the quality of the live sound, etc., will all have an impact on the quality of the live album. What Hugo said, even if compared with the live album, there is still a big difference.

"Fujin, I know, of course I know." Hugo spread his hands, but after speaking, he found that his voice was a little louder. It seemed to disturb the two people who were immersed in the music. He had to turn and leave. Then he explained to Fujin, "Imagine every city, every highway, every street corner, every bridge... is our performance stage and our recording studio. We are always walking on the road. , Our music is drifting away on the road, this kind of freedom, this kind of uninhibitedness, this kind of casualness is in our music blood, then, why can't we incorporate this kind of temperament into our album?"

"So, where do you want to record?" Fujin and Hugo walked side by side, he could clearly feel the excitement and passion emanating from Hugo at this time, the kind of surging that only belongs to the beginning of glory to death. , Burning in sight like a raging flame, reminded Fujin of the song "Navigation ( last night.

"Any place, any corner." Hugo said happily, "We can even record a song in the Grand Canyon, and each of our songs can be recorded in different places, traveling across the entire North American continent, New York and Chicago. , Miami, New Orleans... We have been recording all summer, let the taste of summer enter our album, let the breath of major cities enter our music, as a dedication to... uh, this crazy and chaotic movie Land, in this reckless era."

Fujin really understood what Hugo meant. He was not going to record a live album, but a real "studio" album, but this studio was not a recording studio in the traditional sense, but "anywhere, any corner." A recording studio with different distinctive marks, each song will record the trivial characteristics of that recording studio, making each performance a unique individual that can never be copied.

As Hugo said, this is glory to death, this is glory to death, the kind of carnival and indulgence on the road, the kind of eclectic joy and arrogance that breaks the shackles, this is the real new metal rock— —It’s not that you choose to be independent for the sake of being different, but because it is already a completely different and unique existence when it is born.

Fujin also felt the boiling in his blood, and the pleasure of spreading his wings made his expression lighten up, "For example, uh, under the Brooklyn Bridge in New York."

"Or the roof of the Chicago Sears Tower (.)." This is currently the tallest building in the world.

"Or a cruise ship on the Mississippi River." Fujin also immediately said, this is the longest river in the United States.

"San Francisco's Chinatown, or Salt Lake City's Church Square." The two places that Hugo said have distinctive cultural characteristics. The former is needless to say, while the latter belongs to Moroccan. door. Temple of Teaching. "Otherwise, it is in the subway of Boston." Boston has the oldest subway line in the United States. "Anyway, anywhere."

Fujin almost couldn't help jumping up. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Hugo incredulously. He was shocked by this whimsical idea. Just imagining it in his mind, he felt spectacular enough. All languages ​​are eclipsed. "Ok, then... uh, what if it rains?" It is summer, so there is no danger of snow, which is a good thing.

"So what? Let's continue recording, you know, the rhythm of raindrops can be regarded as the drumbeat of nature." Hugo shrugged, pursed his lips, and said nonchalantly.

"Then what if the police come here to arrest us?" Fujin’s worries are justified. Recording in the city is different from street performances, just like filming. This requires permission from the city government, and obviously this is a huge project.

"Continue recording, maybe we can let them join in the singing." Hugo said with a smile, then raised his eyebrows and looked at Fujin, "What do you think?"

"You are a lunatic~www.wuxiaspot.com~Fujin said simply and neatly, "but I like it. "

Hugo laughed freely, but the smile only lasted for a while, and Hugo suddenly became sad. Fujin asked in a puzzled manner, "I think you are a crazy and wonderful idea. This is for the glory to death. It's definitely better," Fujin didn't say that EMI would never like this idea, "Then why are you this expression?"

Hugo let out a long sigh, "Because we don't have enough equipment to complete this work." To do this, a mobile electronic device is a must, at least a laptop. But in 1996, it was an impossible task to move the recording studio to the street.

Fujin frowned and thought about it, "No, maybe... I mean, I should discuss it with Neil, I have an idea now, but I think our band should gather to discuss it."

"Really?" Hugo's eyes widened. During Hugo's busy filming of the film, Fokkin and Neal were not idle either. They learned a lot of studio knowledge and skills by themselves. They also went to New York during the Grammys. Go for professional training. Hugo's voice was trembling slightly because of his excitement, "If it can be done, then this is definitely the most indelible mark of glory to death!"
