Two days later, Li Dong finally finished the four songs.

But he can't be idle, in the music studio, Ling Xue's new album has been recorded and is in post-production.

In fact, an album contains many processes, and it requires the sincere cooperation of many very professional technicians to complete.

The first is composition, where he needs to compose all the voices into a complete musical composition, which means that every note is done by the author.

Of course, in the eyes of non-professional and non-professional listeners, composing a melodic part is composing, and writing this part well is a composer.

Then there is the arrangement, whether it is a single instrument requested by the client or a large symphonic orchestra, the arranger is faced with one track after another.

Music is fluid, with a beginning and an end, and the arrangement is complex, including the order in which the instruments start, the length of the passage in which the instrument is played, the type of instrument, when to add flowers to that instrument, the change of playing technique, the ratio of instruments that are voiced at the same time, the distribution of musical instruments by paragraph, the time when the instrument ends, and the notes or chords that stay, etc.

After the arrangement, the sound engineer begins to record the recording.

In fact, the recording engineer is the most onerous job in the entire music production process, but it is difficult to be taken seriously.

If the skills are subdivided, he should only need to record them and pick the available version, and the recording methods and techniques are their basic skills.

While a good sound engineer also requires a lot of expertise, the work of a sound engineer does give that impression when it comes to making an album.

Once the recording is done, the rest of the work is handed over to the mixer, who needs to adjust the ratio of various parameters between the instruments, such as volume, frequency, and pan.

If the sound engineer retains the meaning of the arrangement, then if you want to bring out the music perfectly, you need a good mixer.

During the mixing process, the mixer will adjust the frequency, dynamics, sound quality, positioning, reverberation, and sound stage of each original signal individually, taking into account the independence of each track.

In fact, they are also using frequency for secondary creation, and in the ears of the mixer, it is no longer necessary to distinguish the parts according to the pitch, but to coordinate the proportions between the parts according to the complete auditory frequency.

Optimize each track and then overlay it on top of the final product to create a perfectly layered effect that the average listener wouldn't hear when recording live.

After all the work is done, if you want to turn the finished music into a physical object, you have to rely on the master to do so.

The master is like a makeup artist in a top movie crew, he can dress up every actor according to the director's requirements and through his own professional skills, and it must also match the style of the movie.

This work is amazing, when Li Dong and Lao He were doing those background music, although the arrangement, recording and mixing work were completed, they finally got it through the professional mastering master He Fei found outside.

Lao He is a master, but he can't pick up this job.

To be honest, the technical level of the musicians behind the scenes in this world is enough to throw Li Dong a few streets in his previous life.

It can't be said that the musicians in the previous life were not talented, the main reason is that the piracy phenomenon is too serious, even if the singer is popular and the album is well-made, it will also lose a lot of money.

For singers, the source of income cannot be counted on albums at all, and they can only rely on frequent announcements, commercial performances and advertisements to attract money.

And the copyright protection mechanism in this world is really good, which makes the entire music industry very prosperous.

The thriving market has not only allowed major music companies and their singers, as well as many music creators, to earn amazing wealth, but also allowed many practitioners in this industry to obtain stable income.

Only in such a good environment can countless behind-the-scenes musicians do things in a down-to-earth manner, thus forming a virtuous circle and emerging a large number of professional and technical personnel.

And in this industry, professional and technical personnel such as arrangers, sound engineers, mixers, and mastering artists are paid very well.

A lot of good behind-the-scenes music technicians, in those big music companies, get paid sky-high prices.

Even Li Guangnan's previous dilapidated recording studio can make him live a very nourishing life every year, not to mention being rich and expensive, but it can be regarded as a good livelihood.

When Li Dong established the music studio, although Li Guangnan had been in the industry for many years, he could handle things like arrangement, recording and mixing.

But he still hired a few very good technical engineers with high salaries, and now he has Lao He, a technical master, which has raised the technical level of the music studio by several levels.

Ling Xue's post-mixing, mastering and other work, basically don't have to worry about Li Dong, to be honest, his level, usually shakes the wit is okay, if he really participates, he really can't do it.

So Li Dong directly left Lao He in the studio, and he only listened to it with everyone after the album mastering was completed, looking for flaws and deficiencies.

Li Dong arranged the affairs of the studio and rushed to Lao Huang again.

Now Huang Peiren's new film is undergoing intense preparations, and Lao Huang is busy every day.

Lao Huang found a vacant classroom at the Kyoto Film Academy as a temporary office for the crew.

When Li Dong arrived, it was crowded inside, and many people were busy there, and the inside and outside of the house looked chaotic.

Huang Peiren, who was holding the phone and yelling, saw Li Dong and hurriedly put down the phone.

"You're finally here...... kid"

"Big brother, you know I'm busy over there......"

"Don't say it's useless, gotta ...... It's just so that you're here, I still have a lot of work here, so I'm not polite to you......"

Lao Huang didn't see it, and directly arranged a lot of work for Li Dong, so that he didn't even have the time to drink saliva, and he was busy until the evening.

Li Dong smiled bitterly, paralyzed, Lao Huang really didn't treat him as an outsider.

No way, who made Li Dong a shareholder of this movie, he is also the script creator, screenwriter and investor of this play.

And in the future, Lao Huang will set up an independent film company, and Li Dong is also one of the main shareholders, so he has to work hard.

said so, but Li Dong had just been tossing in the recording studio of the Xinhua Song and Dance Troupe for more than a month, and he was as tired as if he was something.

Now he has plunged into Lao Huang's crew again, and he still can't get up early and be idle at night.

Fortunately, Li Dong is young, and no matter how tired he is, he can recover after sleeping.

And Lao Huang and Lao Lu are both in their fifties, and they are not the same toss every day.
