Superstar

Hugo and Fujin excitedly returned to the trailer. They opened the door but found that the other three people were still sleeping. The two of them didn't care at all and kicked them off the bed. Pedro jumped even more. "Earthquake! Earthquake!" The funny look really made people laugh.

But Hugo and Fujin didn't have time to laugh at Pedro. Fujin couldn't wait to shout, "Guys, guys, sober up!" Fujin clapped his hands vigorously, and the clear sound scattered the three of them. Attracted his attention, "Hugo just told me an idea, I think this is really incredible."

Such Fujin is also abnormal. He not only took the initiative to grab the initiative of the topic, but also accompanied by some excited gestures, which was far from the usual reticent image. But in Fujin's eyes, there was an extremely excited light, and the unprecedented enthusiasm ran in his blood.

Neil, Alfonso, and Pedro were originally in a state of distraction. They just woke up and couldn’t avoid their concentration. But listening to Fujin’s steady and powerful voice, all the dozes disappeared involuntarily. Both eyes looked at Fujin with piercing eyes. After Fujin finished speaking, all three of them were stunned and stiff, but the turbulent expression in their eyes revealed their true emotions at this time. .

"Don't look at me, this is Hugo's idea." With a single sentence, Fujin made the three people look at Hugo like remote-controlled robots. The incredible expression made Hugo laugh freely. Hugo hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't get excited, let us think about how to achieve this, this is not an easy task."

Great ideas, advanced ideas, unconventional ideas, but also ideas that are almost impossible to complete.

Everyone’s expressions settled down, but Fujin looked at Neal, "Do you think that using a high-sensitivity boom radio microphone outdoors can maximize the radio?" He has some ideas, but Neil’s is needed. Verification and help.

Neil pondered for a while, "But once we don't have professional audio staff, if we operate it by ourselves, the effect will definitely not be the best; what about the microphone when Hugo sings?"

"Dynamic microphone." Fujin replied simply, which made Hugo look at him.

Hugo has limited knowledge of recording equipment, and many professional equipment in his memory are from the distant 2014, and he is not sure what equipment has already appeared. Hugo originally thought of a dynamic microphone. In fact, the use of this type of microphone is the simplest. It has a solid structure, stable performance, durability, low price, and relatively low noise, but its high frequency characteristics are relatively low. It is relatively weak, so it is widely used in karaoke, and more professional condenser microphones are used in recording studios.

In the age when computer recording equipment has not yet become popular, it is not impossible to record outdoors. In fact, it is enough to learn from the equipment used in the field of film shooting. But the biggest problem with these devices is that they are cumbersome and require professional manipulation. Unlike in the future, only a laptop computer and a recording software can be used to solve all complex problems.

The reason why Hugo wanted to record his third album on the road is not a complicated concept, but more that this method can fully express the spirit of glory to death. In fact, if Hugo and the others contact EMI and mobilize an entire recording team, it is equivalent to recording a live album. Moving the recording studio to each site, Hugo’s idea can be realized, but this is similar to Hugo’s. The original intention is running counter to it. Hugo hopes to rely on the band's own ability to complete it, aside from EMI Records and commercial considerations, just record it in the simplest way.

However, this seems too difficult.

"Hugo, Hugo..." Neil's voice came over, making Hugo clear from his thoughts, and cast his sights, "Do you remember our first road tour? We were there at the time. Put your own musical instruments and all equipment in the car, move them down wherever you go, and perform live performances. We can still do this now, but we just want to record each of our performances, when we need to shoot movies Recording equipment, so we need a little help."

Hugo looked at Neal and motioned him to continue, "In fact, these recording equipment are not as complicated as imagined. We can build a mobile recording studio on a trailer." Neal's thoughts made Hugo's eyes bright. "We Put the most basic equipment needed for recording on the trailer, and then every place you go, just like our first road tour, come out to perform, radio with a high-sensitivity microphone boom, and complete all post-production in the trailer ."

"However, as you said, the recording itself is not the most important thing. It is the most important to brew different recording effects in different environments, so choosing a location will be very important." Fujin stood aside and added. To, "Maybe black residential areas are okay, but it's not suitable in Times Square."

Although this is a recording method that moves the recording studio outdoors, if there is too much noise and noise, the recording effect will definitely be terrible. Even the melody itself is overwhelmed and cannot be regarded as music.

"So, we need someone responsible for recording." Neal concluded.

Hugo realized that his thoughts had been confined by the convenience and simplicity of computer recording equipment, but he did not realize that even without portable computer equipment, they could move the basic recording equipment to a trailer and make it with their own power. A mobile recording studio. The most basic recording equipment is actually not expensive or cumbersome. A few very simple equipment can complete the recording work. Although the effect is not as good as that of a professional recording studio, it is enough to satisfy Hugo's idea.

But, as Neil said, they need someone who can help them finish the recording, and at the same time grasp the quality of the recording.

"Hiran?" Pedro said, Hiran Raikkonen, the producer of the two albums before his death.

But Neal shook his head, "Heeran may be willing to help us, but it is difficult for him to hide from EMI." After all, Heeran is a producer of EMI, and his movements must be reported to the company.

"Neil, Fogin, I remember you said yesterday that you learned a lot of recording skills before, right?" Alfonso opened his mouth and said. After this came out, everyone understood what Alfonso meant. To Neal and Foggin, "I actually learned a lot of this knowledge before. If possible, the three of us can discuss it together and try to finish the recording by ourselves."

In fact, Alfonso is the most versatile person in the glory to death. He is not only responsible for the guitar and keyboard, but also for the electronic metronome mixing and other work. In addition, he will also have some scattered instruments, including " In the post-production of lyrics such as "one step (one. step. and "kill the hero (.., there are more or less opinions of Alfonso.

But Alfonso learned a lot, but he didn't specialize. He knew a little about everything, but he was at a loss if he had a deep understanding. Therefore, if Alfonso and Neil and Fogin work together, discussing with each other and making up for each other, it is not impossible to complete the recording. What's more, their recording was not as detailed and demanding as in a professional recording studio. Three heads are always worth one Zhuge Liang.

Pedro's eyes lit up suddenly, "The three of you know recording skills, and Hugo also has your own views on arrangement. We can completely rely on our own abilities to complete the recording."

Arrangement is a very important step in music production. In the process of music production, the production of each song is not so easy, and the whole process is very complicated. In simple terms, it can be divided into processes such as composition, arrangement, lyrics, and recording.

Composing is the first stage, that is, composing basic tunes and scores. This step relies more on talent. In fact, everyone hums a tune casually. This is the process of composing the music, but most people cannot connect the notes completely and create a complete song. Composition can be learned, but even if you don’t learn, as long as you have a sense of music and talent, you can complete it.

Arrangement is different. Arrangement is based on the basic melody. What tempo is used as the keynote of the whole song, how to switch the melody between the verse and the chorus, what instrument is used for expression, and what are the instruments of the verse and chorus. Differentiate the use, what kind of music form and type of music are used for production, and so on. Arrangement requires professional music education and composition training before it can be completed.

It can be simply understood as such a process, a person hums a simple tune at will, and thinks this tune is very good~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But because the tune cannot reflect the complete music form, it cannot determine the music content, and he did not accept it. After professional music education, he can invite professional arrangers to complete this job. Although not absolute, composition requires talent, and professional knowledge of arranging can be learned. Composition is a creative process, and arranging is more like a process of commercializing creation.

Therefore, each song will be divided into two parts: composer and arranger. The four links of composer, songwriter, arranger, and producer are combined, which becomes the behind-the-scenes production group of the song.

Due to the professionalism and importance of the arrangement process, the producer is particularly important. Most of the glory to death music was composed by Hugo, and he also participated in almost all of the arrangement process, but in the first two In the album, Sheeran’s advice on arrangement has an indelible effect on the success of Glory to Death, because the professional knowledge required for arrangement is what Hugo lacks most.

Now, to the death of Glory, Hugo alone will shoulder the heavy responsibility of composing, and Neil, Fokkin and Alfonso will jointly shoulder the heavy responsibility of recording, completing the incredible feat of recording the third album on the road. Impossible thoughts have the conditions to become possible!

"Just, what am I going to do?" Pedro looked at his teammates with a look of astonishment, his pitiful eyes seemed to be abandoned puppies.
