at home.

Jiang Lun is back.

As soon as I entered the door, I shouted, "Mom!

"What's going on?"

Mom poked her head out of the kitchen, "I'm back, let's sit in the room first!"

Chen Yingying came out of the house and reached out to help him get something, "Just got off the plane?"

"I'm tired!"

Jiang Lun said, "And I'm tired and hungry!"

"Ready to eat right away!"

Mom came over with a spatula, "You go into the house and rest for a while." ”

In the living room, Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu were playing games with a controller in their hands, gunfights, and they were very involved.

Jiang Lun leaned on the sofa and watched them play, and suddenly thought of their test results, since they did well, they should be rewarded.

So I took out my mobile phone and checked it on the Internet, and bought a set of the latest stand-alone games, which is estimated to be delivered as soon as the afternoon.

After eating, Jiang Lun took a nap, then got up and turned on the computer to browse the current "World Electronic Music Chart".

This list is rigorous and the classification is very detailed.

There is a general list, an annual list, and a new song list, and the new song list lasts for a month, which is actually about the same as the monthly list, and this list is the list that Jiang Lun wants to play.

In addition, there is a WEMT recommendation list, which is full of electronic music recommended by the editors of the website, with new songs and old songs, and the new songs will be marked with a NEW logo, and the old songs are HOT.

On the secondary page, there is a detailed electronic music classification list, there are more than a dozen in total, rap electronic music and electronic dance music are two separate lists, which is very convenient for everyone to find their favorite music.

Jiang Lun kept seeing that it was past four o'clock, and the courier came to the door before he turned off the computer.

The courier sent the stand-alone game that Jiang Lun ordered in the morning, and when Jiang Lun gave this set of games to Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu, the two of them were very happy.

"Congratulations on passing the exam, have fun!" Jiang Lun touched their heads one by one.

The old mother on the side frowned and said, "What's the matter, even if you are admitted, you can't relax, it's fun...... It should be a good study!"

"Kids, relax when it's time to relax. ”

Jiang Lun smiled, "Mom, don't be too strict." ”

"Hmph, if you are not strict, it will be the same as Ning Ning, yesterday the teacher called again, saying that she did not have class in the morning, but she was found sleeping in the dormitory, and your father was called back by the teacher again. ”

When my mother said this, she also sighed.

Jiang Lun frowned slightly and asked, "When is she on vacation?"

"There are still a few days, and I will release it after the exam!"

My mother also sighed, "You have air traffic control to manage her, so that you won't be able to get into any university at that time, let alone learn acting." ”

"Okay, I got it!"

Jiang Lun nodded, "Then I'll go out, there's something going on in the unit, and I won't be back tonight!"

"Huh?" the old mother was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "Okay, you can go, drive slower on the road." ”

When he came out of the house, Jiang Lun went straight to the rainy day music.

Along the way, he repeatedly listened to the sample of the song to be made tonight in the car, saying that it was a sample, but in fact he recorded it with his mobile phone.

Time is tight and the task is heavy, and he doesn't have time to make a sample in advance, so he can only impersonate it in this way.

On a rainy day, as soon as I entered the door, I asked a few people who had been waiting for a long time, "Are you ready?"

"Ready!" Several employees nodded immediately and followed Jiang Lun towards the production room.

In the production room, a complete set of electronic music production equipment is ready, electronic synthesizers, effects, drum machine, mixer, and three computers, as well as several computer music software at the same time, waiting to start production.

"Alright, you all go out! I'll do it myself!"

Jiang Lun waved his hand and began to operate.

The employees immediately nodded and left, leaving only a piece of mineral water.

Before his debut, Jiang Lun had been in many bars, and before singing in bars, he also worked in major night clubs.

For this electronic musical instrument, a little reading of the instruction manual will help you understand the various functions of the instrument.

In fact, these things and synthesizers are the same mode, but the synthesizer is single after all, the synthesizer can first produce a part of the melody and harmony, and store it in an audio track, the second production, you can follow the first saved audio track, and then add other elements to it, and finally the saved audio track is the finished product.

And tonight's whole set of equipment not only saves those unnecessary repetitive operations, but also adds a lot of elements that synthesizers don't have.

Nowadays, electronic music is popular and relatively simple to produce, and there are already tens of thousands of timbres and sound effects in the capture software provided by some major manufacturers, which can be used at any time.

But finding the right one among these tens of thousands of sound effects is a very time-consuming project for a novice like Jiang Lun, and only a producer who touches these devices every day and knows each sound number by heart can use it directly without thinking.

And every musician has their own favorite timbre, and their personal tastes are also different.

Generally speaking, European and American musicians like to use sci-fi sound effects, while Japanese and Korean musicians like to use sound effects that are bright in timbre and stimulate the eardrum to make people's blood boil, as for Chinese musicians, they prefer heavy bass and heavy metal, and some prefer disco sound effects in the 80s, and some prefer to add national characteristics, which is called down-to-earth.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with sticking to your own style, even if it is a product of the seventies and eighties of the last century.

However, today, with the rapid development of music technology, the music of other countries is striving for innovation, change and refinement, and we in China naturally cannot lag behind.

The song Jiang Lun produced tonight is called "Fade", which is an electronic music song produced by Norwegian electronic music producer Alan Walker from another world, and the original version of this song is said to be more than an hour long, but the version that Jiang Lun can hear is only a little more than four minutes.

The version of "Faded" is based on "Fade" and produced by Alan Walker himself, a three-and-a-half-part EDM electronic dance music composed by Jesper Bergen, Alan Walker, G-G-Petersen and Anders-Froen, and sung by Norwegian singer Esslyn Solheim.

The melody and overall progression of the two pieces are the same, but there are differences in the production of the soundtrack.

Jiang Lun plans to produce both the singing version and pure music of this song, and hit the charts at the same time, and tries to break the consistent international perception of Chinese electronic music in this world.

Technically, the pure electric version is easier to make than the singing version, which not only requires a separate melodic part, but also takes a lot of time on the mixing effect, of course, after the recording.

Find the timbre, do the melody, do the harmony......

I don't know how long it took for the pure music version to be made.

Jiang Lun didn't feel sleepy at all, one was that his jet lag hadn't been reversed, this time was the time to be refreshed, and the other was listening to this music that couldn't help shaking his legs, where would he want to sleep.

He got up and went to the corner to get a bottle of mineral water, and since he started making it, he hasn't drunk a sip of water, and his throat is about to smoke.

Gulp poured a bottle of water in one gulp and walked out of the production room.

I found that it was pitch black outside, only the security lights in the distance were on, and when I took out my mobile phone, it was already more than one o'clock in the morning.

Calculating the time, from six o'clock, more than seven hours passed so imperceptibly.

Jiang Lun set an alarm clock and planned to sleep until three o'clock and then get up to make it.

When the alarm clock rang, Jiang Lun reflexively sat up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and continued to return to the workbench.

The process of making is boring, and even though the music is very good, it is very draining to the spirit and will of the people to ponder the rhythms and notes repeatedly.

This is also the reason why Jiang Lun didn't make his own arrangements before, because he didn't want to focus on these, and there were many more important things waiting for him to do.

But this time "Fade" is different, electronic music is a type of music that only recognizes the producer, many electronic musicians adapt old songs to become popular, but the winner is not the original author, but the adaptor, which shows the difference in this type of music.

The sky gradually glowed white, and it wasn't until the sun came out and there was the sound of employees coming to work outside that Jiang Lun finished the production of the song version, which was still the previous "Fade" has accumulated a lot of materials, but it still took nearly five hours.

"Yawn!"

Stretching, Jiang Lun went out for a walk.

Those employees greeted him one after another, but when they saw him with two dark circles under his eyes, they reminded him to take a break with concern.

Jiang Lun responded to everyone with a smile, saying that he understood.

Liu Xiayu and Fu Chunli's offices were locked, only Li Ronghao's office was unlocked, Jiang Lun unscrewed the door and rushed in, and fell asleep next to the bed in the rest room inside.

I slept very comfortably.

When Jiang Lun woke up again, he was shocked to find that it was dark again.

"Oops! Liu Xiayu, don't go!"

Jiang Lun hurriedly went out, and Li Ronghao was not in the office.

Unscrewed the door and went straight to Liu Xiayu's office.

It's so dangerous!

Liu Xiayu was packing up her things and preparing to leave, Jiang Lun immediately stopped her, "I'm sorry, I overslept, the music is made, do you want to listen to it?"

"Now?" Liu Xiayu looked at her watch and nodded, "Okay! I don't have much time. ”

Jiang Lun thought about it, anyway, it will be the same tomorrow, as long as he takes out this song and hits the charts before Park Gilie becomes the first.

"Okay, you listen first. ”

Jiang Lun and Liu Xiayu walked to the production room, judging from the situation inside, no one came in after he left in the morning, and no one should have seen the things inside.

Walking to the computer, Jiang Lun opened a folder with a password on it, and there were three audios lying quietly in it, one was "Fade", and the other two were the accompaniment and melody versions of "Faded".

The melody version is based on the accompaniment version, adding a melody with a simulated female voice effect to imitate the human voice singing.

Jiang Lun took out the printed lyrics and handed them to Liu Xiayu, letting go of the audio, "Listen to it." ”

The prelude is a piano, a very magical melody that makes people addicted as soon as they listen to it.

"Ahhh......h

The ethereal simulated female voice only has the sound effect of ah-ah-ah, but Liu Xiayu can follow the melody and hum at the lyrics, which is not difficult for her at all.

You-were-the-shadow-to-my-light~

You are a light in my darkness,

Did-you-feel-us~

Can you feel it?

Another-Star~

On another planet,

You-fade-away~

You fade away!

Afraid-our-aim-is-out-of-sight~

Afraid that our target is in the unseen,

Wanna-see-us-Alive~

I just hope we can all still live!

……

The pure music version of "Fade" was remixed with piano accompaniment and soft and ethereal female vocals, so that the original house dance music was tender and agile without losing the sense of rhythm, and the graceful sound was wafting through.

Liu Xiayu originally had the mentality of just listening and watching, but this listening could no longer stop.

She put down her bag and pulled up a chair and sat down.

Fingers began to tremble slightly, and the chorus part was hummed along with the music, "Where-are-you-nowWhere-are-you-now"

The rhythm of the trance-driven music with lonely emotions in the song, when Liu Xiayu's ghostly voice of "Where are you now?" appeared in Jiang Lun's ears like a shout, he couldn't help but stiffen, as if time had slowed down and the blood had stopped flowing.

It's a perfect fit!

Whether it is the voice, the texture of the voice, or the feeling is very suitable for this song, it is much better than the original.

After all, Liu Xia is an international-level singer in this world, especially when she studied opera since she was a child, it is not too easy for her to make these sounds, and she is also very accomplished in the beautification of her voice, and she can control her voice in different parts.

Was-it-all-in-my-fantasy~

Is it all in my fantasy?

Where-are-you-now~

Where are you?

Were-you-only-imaginary~

Are you just illusory and non-existent?

Where-are-you-now~

Where are you?

Atlantis-Under-the-sea~

Atlantis at the bottom of the sea,

Where-are-you-now~

Where are you?

The first time, Liu Xiayu followed the hum, and the second time, Liu Xiayu still followed the hum, but she had already begun to figure out the routine, and it was not until the third time that she mastered the skills and was able to sing along.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid she will be able to record it in less than ten times, right?

Halfway through the fourth singing, Liu Xiayu's phone rang, but she didn't answer, but continued to sing.

It wasn't until after singing that she took out her phone.

"Hey, Mom, I'm not going back to dinner today. ”

I don't know what was said over there, but it was definitely a complaint.

Liu Xia said coldly, "I really have something, something important, let's go back and talk about it!"

Alas, it's the same for my mother.

Jiang Lun was trying to persuade her to go back first.

As a result, Liu Xiayu hung up the phone and said to Jiang Lun, "I'll listen to the accompaniment, and strive to complete the recording tonight." ”

"......" (To be continued.) )
