Chapter 66: Vocal Sampling
"Knock knock!RayRay!RayRay!knock!"
In a daze, a rapid knock on the door without stopping gradually woke up Lei Yun's drowsy brain.
"Come... Here it comes. ”
Before he could say a word, he couldn't help but let out a long yawn.
He has been so sleepy lately, staying up late for a month has almost emptied his body.
"Knock knock, hurry up RayRay!
Martin outside the door was eager and urging, and Lei Yun was really annoyed, so he had to turn over and get out of bed with difficulty.
"What are you doing..."
Rubbing his eyes and opening the door, before Lei Yun finished speaking, he saw a burly black guy break into the door and shout excitedly.
"Hurry up my friend!"
It looked like I was about to go to Amsterdam's red light district, restless and impatient.
"It's still early, isn't it?
Thundercloud, who looked unsurprised, didn't care in the slightest, stretched lazily, and seemed to be ready to lie back and make up for a good night's sleep.
"Oh man, don't do that! You know, this is my first time on stage! I can't wait to be on stage right now!"
Seeing this, Martin hurriedly grabbed the thundercloud and kept pushing him to the bathroom, so that he could wash up as soon as possible and set off quickly!
"Help me, man! I'm so excited!"
Looking at Martin's flattering face with some tears and laughter, Thundercloud could say more, but he could only pout and turn around and walk into the bathroom.
“Oh Yes!!”
The moment the door was closed, Martin's excited shouts came from behind him, followed by a shake on the ground, as if someone had just jumped up on the spot.
"How's it going, are the new songs ready?"
After helping Lei Yun put things in a big bag, Martin couldn't help but ask as soon as he sat in the driver's seat.
"Of course, everything is ready to go. ”
Thundercloud couldn't help but yawn again, found a comfortable angle to lie down, fastened his seat belt, and prepared to continue squinting.
He has barely stopped for a month.
Since the sudden inspiration in Amsterdam that night, Thundercloud hastened back to the dormitory and hurried to record his inspiration.
The angry Martin kept muttering in frustration all the way, what is the last night, it's a pity, the annoying thundercloud just wants to get him out of the hotel now!
"Oh yes, Martin, do you shout Mai?"
But he looked at Martin's black mouth like a machine gun, and suddenly a very bold idea popped up!
Because he had just been inspired by Martin's casual remarks, he couldn't help but wonder, could he have Martin sample the vocals for his new song?
The idea, while somewhat sudden, was not all that unrealistic.
It is important to know that in the production of electronic music, it is actually a common thing to add a certain part of vocal sampling.
In the production of the last song "Tremor", Lei Yun was the first to try to add a small part of the vocal samples, that is, the phrase "Three!Two!One!Go!!" before the Drop came.
At that time, Thundercloud also had this idea, and asked Kevin to find a professional MC to record this sentence and integrate it into the song as a vocal sample.
So this new song that came out of a flash of inspiration, Thundercloud wants to be more bold and use more vocal samples to use as a rhythm advancement and a stronger burst of Drop!
The thought made Martin shut his mouth and turned to excitedly show off his own skills.
Eventually, Thundercloud decided that Martin was born with a talent for this and asked Martin to join the production of the new song as a vocal sampler.
Kevin, who originally wanted to support Martin to enter the circle, saw this situation and directly hired a professional MC to conduct a month-long assault training for Martin, wanting Martin to cooperate with Thundercloud for a live performance.
Lei Yun is naturally happy to accept this, originally his personality is not very open in all aspects, and DJing is okay, but it is still a little difficult for him to shout Mai at present.
However, when performing on stage, how to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene is also a very important part, and many DJs act as MCs themselves to mobilize the atmosphere.
Others form a duo, one acting as a DJ to DJ, and the other person acting as an MC to stir up the atmosphere of the audience.
Excellent MC, combined with excellent quality songs, the combination of the two can bring the most outstanding stage effect!
Therefore, Martin barely fooled around in a rare month, but concentrated on learning how to become a good MC, and he was impatient to keep urging Thundercloud to rush to London for a rehearsal performance as soon as possible.
"Great!RayRayDid you know, your new song is incredible!With me, we're going to make a splash all over London!!"
Only Martin, who has been deeply involved in the creation of Thundercloud's new song, can truly understand how incredible Thundercloud's latest single is!
This is real electronic music!
This is the real Divine Comedy!!
"Of course, you also have your credit Martin, you inspired me!"
Martin was so pleased by Thundercloud's compliment that he was about to continue his remarks when he suddenly remembered the financial statements he had seen by chance in Kevin's office this morning.
"Oh yes! I almost forgot! RayRay, do you know the release data for Tremor?"
"Huh??"
Lei Yun, who had been lazily lying on the seat, suddenly came to his senses, he straightened up suddenly, and hurriedly asked.
"How's the sales going? How do you know Martin?"
Recently, he has been busy with new songs, and Kevin has also been busy preparing for the Timely Concert - London station, and the two of them have hardly had a chance to meet, so Thundercloud naturally doesn't know what the sales data of "Tremor" are doing.
"One month after its release, the album sales have exceeded 30,000 copies!"
These words immediately surprised Thundercloud!
What the?
It's only been a month and it's already exceeded 30,000??
That's two months for Five Hours!
At that time, Kevin had already predicted that the final sales of "Five Hours" would reach 150,000 copies, so according to this calculation, wouldn't the final sales of "Tremor" be as high as 200,000-300,000 copies?!
According to the settlement unit price of 9 euros/sheet, wouldn't the final sales of vinyl records reach more than 2 million euros?
Oh my God, that's an astronomical sum!
Among them... How much can you get?
Thinking of this, Lei Yun only felt that all the big bills in front of him were purple-red euro bills, and his eyes were surrounded by dense '€' symbols...
