The work after lunch is really into the theme,Two one-meter-eight high aluminum alloy cabinets are the home of most of the peripheral equipment,Wireless microphone receiver、Dual card holders、Dual laser DVD players,These are all audio input devices,Together with an effect that both input and output and two monitor amplifiers are placed in a cabinet,So that the connection line is more convenient to arrange。 Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe remaining feedback suppressor, two-band equalizer, voltage limiter, and video signal switcher occupy another cabinet, and the four main amplifiers are placed between the two cabinets.

The mixing table, about the size of a four-person dining table, is the tuner's drawing board, which must be placed in the middle of the window, and most of Hong Tao's daily work will be done on it. When all the equipment is debugged, most of them do not need to be operated separately, and the details are adjusted by this mixer. It is very complex, from left to right, with 32 balanced and unbalanced input lines, a four-group six-by-two matrix, a four-group output, a two-matrix output, and two hybrid outputs. Each of the thirty-two inputs has a balanced and unbalanced switch, a channel selector knob, five voltage-matching knobs, eight equalization knobs, and a voltage decay fader.

Hundreds of buttons, knobs, faders, and indicator lights are concentrated on a plane more than one meter long and half a meter wide, and the dense patch is a large piece, and people who don't understand will be dizzy when they look at it. But in Hong Tao's eyes, each of these little things is so cute, he just uses these little guys to mix all kinds of sounds together, and then judge through his own experience and hearing. What needs to be strengthened, what needs to be weakened, what needs to be canceled, and what needs to be added, and then the mixed output sends these audio signals that have poured their own efforts to the next level of equipment to be processed, and after amplification, they are finally released by the speaker arrays hanging in the corners of the walls on both sides of the stage.

Whether these sounds are beautiful, whether they make others feel satisfied, and whether they can make the singer feel that he or she is playing well depends on these devices. The tuner who operates these devices will greatly influence the final result with his preferences, hearing, experience and understanding of the musical composition.

But the tuner is not a creator, he can only add to the cake, not the charcoal. If a person has incomplete pentatonic tones, can't go up the treble, can't stop the midrange, and can't get the bass down, then even if he finds the world's top tuner, he has no problem. The tuner can only tinker with your original timbre as much as possible to make it more perfect, but they can't fundamentally change your timbre, range, and sense, let alone make a person who can't sing at all become a singer.

However, the tuner is not the top existence in this industry, and there is also a title of sound engineer above the tuner. This thing is amazing, it works like a tuner, and the equipment is similar, but on the basis of the tuner, some equipment is added, and then the speakers are replaced with recording equipment, and the working environment is changed from theaters, stages, and performance venues to recording studios.

The above impossibilities are impossible in the hands of the tuner, but in the hands of the recording engineer they are possible, and it is very possible. As long as you are not dumb and don't want to make trouble, they can use some special equipment to finely process every word and sentence you sing, and then splice it together, and the final result is that your mother can't hear that the song is sung by you. People who can't sing are amateur singers in their hands, amateur singers are professional singers in their hands, and professional singers are singers after they deal with them!

It's not a braggadocio at all, especially since the advent of digital audio devices, their magic has become much more powerful. So, let's say that the singer's songs are good or not, don't listen to records and tapes, you have to go to a big live concert, and it's better to hear a cappella. Anyone who has relied on a recording engineer to retouch them basically does not dare to sing a cappella, let alone hold a large-scale concert, because these require real skills. Recording engineers are magical, but they can't really change your voice, and their magic disappears without the studio environment and the professional equipment.

Hong Tao really wants to learn the skills of a recording engineer, but unfortunately there is no such training class in China, he can only think silently, and then find an opportunity to go to his classmate's unit, through the glass of the recording room to see the recording engineer's work site, at most, when people are resting, enter the recording studio to observe these equipment up close, and there are not many opportunities to chat with these recording engineers. These people are all big babies, and they don't bother to deal with low-level peers like Hong Tao at all.

But Hong Tao was not discouraged, he felt that he was still young and had the opportunity to learn those things. The most important thing now is not to envy those high-level peers, but to focus on the present, master your own set of things first, and not in vain to like it once.

In terms of technique, Hong Tao is no worse than anyone else, and in some respects he is better than some other tuners, because he has a very good radio foundation. Sound and lighting equipment, to put it bluntly, are a lot of electronic components, with these foundations, Hong Tao has a deeper understanding of them, and the operation is more confident. In addition, he has another thing that is stronger than most of his classmates, and that is English. Since most of the equipment and equipment materials are imported at this time, there is basically no Chinese, in order to understand the detailed parameters of these things, at least you must be able to understand dumb English. Hong Tao learned only two courses in college, one was advanced mathematics and the other was English. The former is taught by my father, and he takes the exam separately when he goes home, so it is unlikely that he will not think about it. The latter is burdened by hobbies, whether it is radio or audio equipment, he needs to read English materials, and it cannot be said that he is forced to learn, even if it is, he is forced by himself.

In addition to these two points, Hong Tao also has a pair of ears that are not particularly sensitive, but they are also very good. Hearing is the first element for both tuners and sound recordists. No matter how good your skills are, your ears are not sensitive, you can't hear the subtle changes in the treble area, and you can't distinguish the details in the sound, then no matter how hard you try, you can't be a good tuner and sound engineer, this is the talent required by this profession.

"I'll kill you again, kill you again, kill you again!" After positioning and fixing all the equipment on the cabinet, Hong Tao burned two electric soldering irons, threw a table of various plugs, and began to solder the connecting wires between the equipment, muttering while welding. He couldn't stop this mouth as long as he was awake, and the more nervous he was and the more he needed to concentrate, the more he could make a sound. Even during the college entrance examination, he had to talk to himself while answering the questions, otherwise the score would be a lot less, and his brain would basically stop as soon as his mouth stopped.

The welding equipment is connected, in fact, let the three small workers do it, but Hong Tao is not happy. He has a mild obsessive-compulsive disorder in this regard, and always feels that there are hidden dangers in other people's soldering, so he would rather be affected himself than do it himself, so that he can use and maintain it in the future. And this kind of work is not a tiring job for him, he can use three soldering irons to work in turns, because the speed of soldering is too fast, a soldering iron temperature can not keep up, so he has to use three turns to work. Now I hurt one hand, so I changed it to two.

Someone said, you are pretending to brag, you don't need two soldering irons at all, and you can definitely keep up with the temperature with a powerful alternative. That's right, the temperature of the high-power soldering iron can indeed keep up, not only can it keep up, but it will also exceed a lot. However, this method is not suitable for the welding treatment of precision electronic components and joints, and it is generally used in the electrical industry and the home appliance repair industry with low requirements for stability.

For professional audio equipment, their connectors, wiring are the original configuration, in the resistance, voltage characteristics have strict requirements, once the connector between the insulator is melted or destroyed by high temperature, although it can still be used, but the electrical characteristics must have changed. It's okay if a joint changes, but there are hundreds of joints and hundreds or thousands of solder joints in this set of equipment, and half of them have changed, which will add up to a lot, and eventually affect the output effect of the whole system. The most terrible thing is that you can't find anything wrong at all, because the equipment itself is fine, and the connection is measured with a multimeter, but there is a gap with the design effect.
