"Could it be that I still have to teach myself English first?"

Looking at the full English and icons, Thundercloud only felt that one head was two big.

“File？”

Tentatively moving the cursor to this option, more than a dozen entries popped up, some of which had a small arrow to the right next to them, and the cursor clicked up, and a large number of completely incomprehensible sub-entries came out.

"What is this? ”

Thunderclouds almost gave up when they saw this formation, this is too difficult, right, I can't understand how to operate at all??

Not only can't I understand English, but there are also a lot of professional icons, and Thundercloud doesn't know what it means at all.

Trying to click casually, a lot of windows that are also incomprehensible pop up, some are similar to the style of the mixer, click a little, pull a pull, and I don't know what these operations mean.

"Isn't there a sinicization of Chinese?"

Lei Yun didn't believe in evil and searched around.,This is a helpless discovery.,No matter which software is pure English.,There's no Chinese version of which software yet.。

Maybe there is no development in China's electronic music at all, and naturally no one will do the thankless work.

"Are there any tutorials or anything like that?"

After thinking about it, he opened WeChat and looked at it again, Lei Yun forcibly suppressed the idea of retreating, and continued to search with perseverance.

"Hey, really?"

Not only that, but there are even many more, there are video sites, forums, and post bars.

But most of them are in English, some have Chinese translations, and some are pure Chinese tutorials, Lei Yun clicked on them one by one to study, with the tutorials and translation software, and finally became familiar with the software.

It turns out that there are a lot of things that you can do as long as you really want to do them.

The only thing that can stop you is your own undetermined heart.

"It's kind of interesting. ”

Before he knew it, the afternoon had passed in the blink of an eye, and Thundercloud's stomach was a little rumbling, but he didn't hear it.

After an afternoon of study and research, at least I barely knew how to perform simple operations, and some words that were used more frequently even memorized what they meant.

What's more, music creation, which originally felt extremely distant, actually didn't seem as terrible and difficult as I imagined after I really understood it.

Electronic music is actually composed of many parts, and a whole piece of electronic music is actually a whole music project.

A music project is composed of many audio tracks, generally speaking, the audio track of a main theme is determined first, and this main theme forms the skeleton of the whole song.

Then, in the right place, add a drum track, and the combination of the two tracks makes it a little more interesting.

But that's not enough, you can also add chords made by an electronic synthesizer to enrich the melody.

Then match an electronic background sound to make the whole song not so monotonous, and then add some transition sounds and special effects to set off and transition a certain melody.

Each of these parts is a track, and these tracks are properly combined under the producer's arrangement to form a complete project.

The music engineering behind a mature piece of electronic music is very complex and huge, it looks dense, with a variety of audio tracks superimposed, and every sound effect, melody, and timbre has been carefully considered by the producer.

When you press play, these individual tracks act like a symphony orchestra, playing complete electronic music under the producer's baton.

Of course, it's far from that simple to create an electronic sound, why these producers are called entertainers and not workers.

It is because they do creative work, not a simple patchwork of ideas, every inspiration and creativity, every chord and melody, the modification and collocation of various effects, and even the modulation and use of each tone.

They are all the crystallization of wisdom after repeated debugging and careful consideration by the producer, and the same audio track file is given to another person, and it may be two feelings.

Many people can quickly master the skills of production and arrangement, and use various arrangement software proficiently, but it is even more difficult to make a good work that touches people's hearts.

This kind of creative work, in addition to hard sweat, actually requires the so-called talent that is inexplicable.

"That's it. ”

Completely unaware of the fact that it was getting late, Thundercloud turned his wrist with some joy, and suddenly there was a click.

He looked at the extremely rudimentary project of five or six tracks in front of him, and nodded with some satisfaction.

He found that there are a lot of built-in drum beats and melodies in the software, including transition sounds, special effects sounds, etc., and there are many short audio track clips.

So I thought on a whim, can I use these messy fragments to piece together a tune?

Of course, the audio track file in front of me, which is only more than 50 bars and barely put together, can't be considered a song at all, and it is not even a demo.

But this is enough for Lei Yun, who has just started to get in touch with him, to make him both satisfied and happy.

Pressing the play button, the music coming from the headphones is simple and rough, and it doesn't sound very harmonious in many places because of the forced patchwork.

But after a makeshift patchwork just now, Thundercloud seems to have gradually found a trick, and he seems to have a natural sense of musicality.

There are tens of thousands of different classification of audio track clips in the sound source library, such as drum kits, tambourine, shakers, conga drums, etc., guitars have acoustic guitars, electric guitars, glide guitars, etc., as well as pianos, basses, cutscenes, sound effects and other categories.

There are hundreds or thousands of different tracks in each category, with very different styles and even different tempo beats, but Thundercloud has an intuition that is difficult to explain.

He's always able to find a barely matching piece in a chaotic soundtrack, and then piece it together into a small piece of work.

Thinking of those representative electronic music, Thundercloud naturally added a prelude to this project, as well as foreshadowing, with the drum beat, and then Drop, and finally to the end, it can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.

Soon it was discovered that the transition between the two melodies was very stiff, so I experimented with adding some cutscenes, or special sound effects with a boomer effect, to make the transitions between different tracks more natural.

In the end, I feel that the whole is still a bit monotonous, with different drum beats in some places, background sound effects in some places, and even sampled clips of vocal chorus, so that the whole piece is really a bit presentable.

No one has taught or trained them, but Thundercloud seems to have been born with a knack for how to arouse people's emotions, how to arrange them to be more outstanding, and where to add special sound effects of what type and timbre to achieve the best results.

He was like a sponge that suddenly fell into the sea of music, floating in it with ease, without the slightest hindrance or fetters, as if it should have been.

When he came back to his senses and looked up, it was getting late.

"Hmm, Xiaoyun, why did you eat so late?"

Feeling hungry, Leiyun came to the window of his favorite Brazilian barbecue rice, and the proprietress looked at the time in some surprise.

It's almost nine o'clock, and the cafeteria is about to get off work, why haven't you eaten yet?

"It's a bit of a delay. Sister Wu, do you see if there is still food? ”

Lei Yun frowned and looked at the various windows that were closing, he couldn't just eat instant noodles.

"You wait, sister will get you some. ”

It was obviously almost closed, and everything was almost packed, but Sister Wu didn't say anything, turned around and started to get busy.

Sister Wu and Lei Yun are both from the same small county, and by chance, Lei Yun made a phone call and Sister Wu heard a familiar dialect, and after talking to each other, the two became acquainted.

"Thank you, sister. ”

Lei Yun finished eating, swiped the card skillfully with a 'drip', and sat aside and devoured it.

The usually fragrant Brazilian barbecue rice, but at the moment Lei Yun chewed it as if it had no taste, and his mind was full of various melodies and sound effects.

He opened the door to electronic music for the first time and never imagined it would be so fun and so fun.

Different melodies can have completely different effects when arranged in different ways, and there are countless possibilities in the world of music.

All you need is a computer, a person, and that's it.

This is electronic music, which gives anyone with an idea, almost no threshold, the opportunity to unleash their talents and be extremely equal.

In the end, the only criterion for judging is only the quality of the work.
