Chapter 61: Recording a song

Early the next morning.

Ye Luo woke up and went to make breakfast first.

When breakfast was ready, I went upstairs to wake up the three daughters of Mina, who were lazy in bed.

After a few people hurriedly settled breakfast, Ye Luo took them back to the city's dock with their yacht.

After parking the yacht, the four of them walked towards the dock, waited on the side of the road for a while before stopping the car and driving towards the destination.

It was about nine o'clock.

The car came to the gate of Xiaofei's studio and stopped not far away, Ye Luo took Mina and the three of them to get out of the car, and suddenly saw a mature woman with wavy curly hair waiting at the door.

When this mature woman saw Ye Luo and a few people walking towards her, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she hurriedly greeted her, and said with some uncertainty: "May I ask if it is Mr. Ye Luo?"

"Well, I am, if I'm not mistaken, you should be the owner of the studio, right?" Ye Luo chuckled.

The mature woman smiled and nodded: "That's right, I'm Xia Xiaofei." ”

Then Xia Xiaofei and Mei Na greeted each other politely, and Ye Luo and the others followed her to the recording studio.

At this time, there were already a few staff members waiting in the recording studio, and Xia Xiaofei's arrangement was quite appropriate.

The recording engineer is a middle-aged Western uncle with long hair in a shawl, named Greg, because there is no accompaniment, he can only do the accompaniment first, and when he first saw these recording equipment, he knew in his heart that the price was worth it.

The production of accompaniment is very fast, and several staff members have a clear division of labor, and after one person records an instrument, it is handed over to the post-production synthesis.

It's just that it takes a little time, and if you want to officially record, it may take a while.

The accompaniment was done by professional staff, and Ye Luo didn't have anything to do, so he visited Xia Xiaofei's studio under the leadership of Xia Xiaofei.

As an individual-run studio, it's generally not too big.

But all the way around, Ye Luo found that the recording studio of Xiaofei's studio was a bit scary.

Ye Luo asked puzzledly: "Why do you have so many recording studios in your studio?" ”

"That's because Xiaofei's studio was originally just a recording studio, a recording studio opened by a few people who love music. Later, several of the original entrepreneurs worked hard to build Xiaofei Recording Studio into one of the few top recording studios in Hawaii, although we can't compare with those companies and music platforms, but we are not worse than them in terms of equipment, and we are still very famous in the industry. ”

"In the past, if you wanted to make music, you couldn't do it without finding a professional music studio, and you didn't have the equipment. And now the development of the times, science and technology have advanced too fast, the Internet era has risen all of a sudden, if the requirements are not particularly high, you can do it yourself at home, which has also led to the reduction of the recording studio business, despite this, we have always retained. ”

"In fact, we have relied on the relationships we have worked with many singers and stars in the past to quickly stand out and occupy a place among the many studios that have been affected. Moreover, the level of production of our music is still at the top in the industry. Many singers choose to come here to record songs and make albums. ”

Xia Xiaofei gushed endlessly, introducing the development history of the studio to Ye Luo and a few others.

And Ye Luo and others are also listening quietly, and by the way, you can learn about the process of music entrepreneurs in this era.

"I can't take you there, that's where some famous singers record songs, there are brokerage companies, rented to produce albums and songs, you can see a lot of famous singers over there, but my side is not within my scope of responsibility, although I am the boss, but it is only nominal, in fact, we all have similar shares, but they don't want to be dragged down by the studio's business, so I can only come, and the big coffee gathering place over there can't just take people to visit, some big names are very difficult to serve. Xia Xiaofei said a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, maybe one day if I'm interested in starting a company, I'll ask you to be the CEO, and then those big names will have to bow their heads when they see you," Ye Luo, who started chatting, also joked.

As for what he was thinking in his heart, only he knew.

The studio is small from the outside, but when you really go inside, you will find that it is amazingly large.

After walking around and coming back, the accompaniment here has been done, Ye Luo has listened to it all over again, no problem, then let's start directly.

Of course, you still have to open your throat first, so that your throat reaches a certain level of excitement, which is equivalent to a warm-up exercise before kicking a ball.

There are many ways to open your voice, which varies from person to person, and many people have their own unique way of opening their voice.

The fastest way is to soar the treble directly, the effect is very significant, but it is easy to hurt the voice, or sing some songs with less difficulty, sing a few more times to let the voice into the state.

Although these songs have been handed over by Ye Luo to Mina and them to record, he is also opening his voice, he plans to sing them once first, and at the same time, he also wants to try what it is like to record songs in such a professional and top-notch studio.

Xia Xiaofei whispered something to the recording staff.

"How's it going? ”

The long-haired foreign middle-aged recording engineer smiled bitterly: "If you look at the arrangement, you are a great genius." In fact, the whole accompaniment arrangement is equivalent to his own work, nothing for us, and he does it better than all of us. The composition and arrangement are all top level and impeccable. I'll hear how he sings later. ”

Sensing that Ye Luo in the recording studio signaled that it was ready, the recording engineer asked, "Do you want to try it out first?"

"No, let's get started. Ye Luo replied.

The recording engineer and other staff quickly took place, and Xia Xiaofei watched quietly from the side, looking forward to it.

Many people say that they don't know they sing out of tune without going into the studio.

The first song was recorded "Diamonds", put on headphones, close your eyes to adjust your mood, and integrate into the mood of the song, which is very important, and it didn't take long for Ye Luo, who had been adjusted, to open his eyes and signal to the recording engineer, and the accompaniment sounded.

“Shine bright like a diamond

Such a brilliant diamond years

Shine bright like a diamond

Such a brilliant diamond years

Find light in the beautiful sea

I searched for the glimmer of light in the vast ocean current

I chose to be happy

I chose to make myself happier

You and I, you and I

You and me, you and me

We’re like diamonds in the sky

This is the time when we look at the sky together

You’re a shooting star I see

I saw you as a meteorite in the night sky

A vision of ecstasy

Suddenly immersed in psychedelic vision

When you hold me, I’m alive

It was only in your arms that I felt my real presence

We’re like diamonds in the sky

This is the time when we look at the sky together

I knew that we’d become right away, oh right away

I know we're going to be right away

At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays

A glimpse of the sun seemed to make me feel the energy of the sun scattering in my heart

......”

Ye Luo was fully engaged, and when he sang the first lyrics, the voice was like chewing gum tightly wrapped in the minds of everyone present.

In particular, Greg was even more shocked, he has recorded many different kinds of songs for many people in the past, such as hot songs, brainwashing electronic music, rock, country, R&B, etc.

As a recording studio, he is exposed to music-related things every day, so he can easily understand that Ye Luo's song belongs to R&B, but it is different from the R&B he recorded before.

In terms of production and singing, it also takes the retro mellow route, and the short score of the song is composed of B minor, which is defined as a mid-tempo rhythm song, the beat of the song is 92 beats per minute, and the vocal range of the leaf falls from the F3 of the low note to the D5 of the high note.

What made him sigh was that Ye Luo's sense of power, explosiveness, or the control of the voice line between the subwoofer and the treble was easy and comfortable, and it instantly mobilized people's emotions.

"Oh my God, this guy is amazing!" said the long-haired foreign recorder excitedly.

Xia Xiaofei was also very excited, Ye Luo's singing skills were much stronger than those singers who were already famous.

In fact, many entertainment companies and packaged singers do not have good singing skills, and they are not as strong as before.

Eager for quick success, as long as there is a selling point, you can hype it up in various ways through operation, when the song is released, it is good to record it sentence by sentence, and through the later tuning process, each is a god of songs.

So it will always lead to something similar, every once in a while, there will be a so-and-so popularity, and after a burst of fire, it will disappear again.

If you want to be a singer who is becoming popular and has a place in the music world, you still need real strength.

"Perfect! I think it's okay, it's over!" Greg exclaimed.

Of course, what Greg said doesn't count, it depends on Ye Luo, he is the real core key.

Ye Luo came out and listened to it again, nodded, and felt that there was no problem, but he didn't expect that he only recorded one track and passed it.

Perfectly interpreted, even without re-recording or post-processing.

Ye Luo, who was refreshed, suddenly pointed to the three of them who admired Meina, and said to the recording engineer: "Next, let's not waste time, let's start the real recording quickly, they are the ones who recorded these six songs, two songs per person, the three of them have different styles, and two songs of the same style together." ”

After hearing Ye Luo's words, both Greg and Xia Xiaofei were dumbfounded, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

After a while, Xia Xiaofei quietly swallowed and said, "You said that they are the ones who really recorded the song this time?"

"I just wanted to try out what it's like to record in a top-notch studio. Ye Luo touched his nose a little embarrassed, and when he saw that Xia Xiaofei was about to say something, Ye Luo, who was weak-hearted, hurriedly said: "I think they can't wait, let's hurry up and record!"

Hearing Ye Luo's words, Greg nodded and asked Mina and the three of them to decide who would record.

Mina and the others discussed, took the sheet music and walked in, put on the headphones, and nodded to Greg to signal that they could start.

Under Ye Luo's unkindness, the three of them each recorded two songs back and forth more than a dozen times before they were completed, and many times even the recording engineer Greg thought it was okay, but Ye Luo was not satisfied, so he let Mina and the others continue, and it didn't end until he was satisfied.
