Avant-garde sky, in recent years, there is a faint trend of more than rolling records, because avant-garde sky is more enterprising, almost ten years ago, avant-garde sky founded the Strawberry Music Festival, in less than a few years, the strawberry music festival has become the top music festival in China.

When the Strawberry Music Festival was a success, the avant-garde sky began to rise above the rolling records.

In recent years, various domestic music companies and entertainment companies have risen, and the set learned from the two countries has also risen rapidly.

Flower boys, idol groups, singing and dancing......

These things have flooded the entire entertainment market in an instant for a period of time, and old companies such as Rolling and Avant-garde Sky have obviously not kept up with the rhythm, and their status in the rivers and lakes is actually in jeopardy.

Rolling is now learning from the pain, and it is time to follow the rhythm, for example, Wu Han, who came back from practicing in the stick country for a few years, is the transformation after rolling the pain.

The avant-garde sky seems to have a bit of a "self-contained" taste, and it still guards the original one-third of an acre, but the older generation of the country is still extremely stable, and its veteran singers are still hard to find a ticket for concerts, and they are all teachers, mentors, judges, and so on in which program.

The fly in the ointment is that these veteran singers and stars, their ability to make money is far less than that of the current fresh meat team, although the reputation of teachers, mentors, judges and the like is good, the banknotes are too far behind. There are even times when the earning power of all the artists in the avant-garde sky together is not as good as one or two of the hottest fresh meat.

For this situation, Zhang Zhendong has some rational judgments, and he has such a classic saying: "Some people are popular quickly, with high popularity and large traffic, but the renewal of their circle is also frighteningly fast." After the update, the vast majority of people, none of the works can remain in the hearts of the audience. ”

Zhang Zhendong's sentence is very reasonable, singing and dancing in the fierce dance music, fashionable songs, avant-garde styling, perfect character design, sexy dance......

At the initial moment, these things stimulate the senses of one audience after another, and even most of them are female audiences, but the time is stretched to a few years and more than ten years, and after the rapid stimulation, the vast majority of people really can't leave anything.

But many musicians under the avant-garde sky always have one or several songs, which are still in everyone's hearts for twenty or thirty years, and they will still be in other people's mobile phones and in other people's song lists, and they can still move people one by one.

Maybe the avant-garde sky is right, but it is also possible that Zhang Zhendong is too conservative.

At least that's not the case with the same old rolling records.

Gankey came with his band, and the office area of Avant-Garde Sky was small, and there weren't even many staff members working.

It's also possible that Ganchi arrived too early, and that the line of work often starts in the afternoon.

In the recording studio, Zhang Zhendong personally sat in the position of the recording engineer, and several people gave him a hand.

Gan Qi walked into a specially designed recording room and looked at Zhang Zhendong outside the thick glass, where various instruments were placed. Xiao Xiao and Dong Yi stood outside the recording room, and the two of them did not go in.

The thick glass is extremely soundproof, and under the thick glass is the recording table, on which there are many equipment, sound sources, computers, multi-track tape recorders, etc.

Zhang Zhendong sat in front of the recording table full of various buttons, and he said to the microphone: "Stabilize your mood, adjust your breathing, take a break, and sing a few more times according to what we decided at the meeting, it's okay to sing it, don't be nervous, there is post-synthesis, you just have to sing as much as you can." ”

Gan Qi nodded, in fact, he was a little nervous, although he had many memories of watching other people's recordings, and he also longed for the scene of his own recording countless times, but he was still nervous at this moment.

Album production, unlike some people think, almost all singers' albums can reach the level of almost flawless, that is because the recording engineer will let the singer sing it over and over again, and then among so many sound sources, the version that sings the best sentence is cut out, and even the word that is sung the best, and sings the last breath.

After such splicing, the songs in the album are naturally almost perfect.

This is also the reason why many singers' albums sound flawless and bloom as soon as they appear on the scene.

Of course, there are those who are invincible, and they don't need to be like that. It's just that this kind of person is rare.

The process of recording an album is actually more complicated than many people think, starting with a song demo, and then arranging the music, often several versions will be made up by different people, and the producer will check this and finally determine the version.

Then there's the overbanding, which means that each sound type is recorded into a separate track, the timeline is aligned, and the sound is mixed in the later stage. Thirty years ago, there were only three tracks for recording, one track for vocals, and then all the instruments were squeezed into the other two tracks, interaffecting each other, and the sound quality would be problematic, distorted, and blurred.

Nowadays, digitalization is different, there are as many tracks as you want, every instrument, every sound effect, even a simple harmony, can occupy a track, and the progress in sound quality is a leap.

Why is there such a difference? The difference between digital and physical recordings is, of course. Previously, it was recorded on a physical carrier, such as a tape, which had a limited width and data. Now it becomes a digital signal and is stored on the hard disk, and there is no limit.

After passing the tape, the instrument will be built, this step is mainly the need for real instruments, in the current popularity of electronic music, many songs do not need any real playing instruments, often can ignore this step. Real instruments have their benefits in making the sound more human, more natural, more pleasing to the ear, and also more fluid and emotional.

The last thing is to record vocals, and today Gan Qi started recording vocals, so Xiao Xiao and Dong Yi only watched outside, and when the vocals were recorded, they would record the harmony, and the two of them still had a lot of harmonies to record, and they would also walk into the recording studio.

The finishing touch is the mix, and after the mix there are balance controls, subtle adjustments are made to the whole song, adjusting the spacing of certain times, slight fluctuations in pitch somewhere, and so on. The so-called million tuners are probably talking about this step. Some singers are really hopeless, and there is this last step to save them.

A song, an album record, and that's it.

Gan Qi has his own ready-made arrangement, which will save a lot of effort in the preliminary work, after a short meeting, he directly began to enter the recording stage, Gan Qi almost became his own producer, Zhang Zhendong is a role of a recording engineer, in fact, Zhang Zhendong is very level in arrangement, but his respect for Gan Qi gave Gan Qi a lot of freedom.

Gan Qi started singing, Zhang Zhendong listened carefully with headphones, and every time he finished singing, Zhang Zhendong would use his professional level to give Gan Qi some advice.

"Ganchi, the clamming cry, be suppressed, not too release, you have to listen to me. ”

Gan Qi replied, "Understand, the next time it will be as yours comes." ”

"Gan Qi, you can't spray words, the equipment in the studio is very sensitive, this is different from live singing, you will be recorded as soon as you spray it......"

"Ganqi, put it a little, it's been suppressed, the feeling of shouting still has to be there, and the shouting is suppressed in order to achieve the effect, you feel it carefully......"

This is the seventh day of recording the record, and the vocals Ganqi has been tortured to death......
