Ma Guoli rushed to the recording studio to tell Cheng Xiaoyu that Shanghe was holding a press conference. When he learned that someone was making a fuss about the pre-sale, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't think it could set off much of a storm.

Xiang Fengxing had already returned to the company, so he just came over to make a gesture for Cheng Xiaoyu to see. Keep Ma Guoli to cooperate with Cheng Xiaoyu's work.

Ma Guoli saw Cheng Xiaoyu's disapproval, so he cautiously explained to Cheng Xiaoyu that cheating on the number of records in Huaxia is a very strict thing, which will not only face a high fine from the Huaxia Music Association, but also have a great impact on the singer's image.

It's hard to prove innocence in something like this. No matter how you justify it, others can attack you wantonly. But if a few days later, the album of the idol project is sold for an exaggerated number of jù, then the qiē rumor will be self-defeating.

This is a bit of a pressure for Cheng Xiaoyu, three songs can make a record sell a big hit, but to sell a few jù exaggerated, you still have to rely on the quality of the whole album. Cheng Xiaoyu also thought of the incredible diamond record, but at the moment he shook his head and could only sigh, if all ten songs were produced by him, he would be 100% sure, if the members' singing skills were better and the quality of the songs was at a high point, there was still hope. But that's only if.

Cheng Xiaoyu watched the members of the idol project who couldn't hide their joy coming out of the recording studio, and they didn't know about being slandered and cheating.

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled a little at this time, and asked Ma to come over and take a notebook to the lounge.

Then he asked the members of the idol project to go to the lounge with him and tell them to show them a video.

In fact, the members of the idol project have already started school, but each of them has temporarily taken leave, anyway, the grades are not very important to them, Su Yuxi has no problem even if she is allowed to take the college entrance examination now, and for the other five girls, the grades are not so important at this time, of course, for Xu Qinning, the grades have never been important.

The six girls were huddled in front of the computer to watch the high-definition video of the "Guilty Crown" midi music festival, and Wang Ou specially added a high-definition camera of more than 10,000 to shoot it. Then uploaded it to the post bar. To be honest, Cheng Xiaoyu thinks that Wang Ou's talent in photography is much higher than that of the guitar.

At least this video is quite aura from the perspective of lens capture, although the focus is on Xia Shamo, but the panorama and Chen Haoran's wonderful table are taken into account. It's a pity that Cheng Xiaoyu doesn't have any outstanding shots, after all, the keyboard can't play any tricks.

The six girls watched Gothic Lori pretend to be Xia Shamo and sing "shotinthedark", although the sound effect is really average, but they can still hear Xia Shamo's extraordinary singing skills, this kind of strength is really so good that they don't have scum left. Wait for the six girls to watch the video with a surprised face. Cheng Xiaoyu pressed the pause and said, "Let you see this, not to hit you, but to let you know the importance of singing." ”

At this time, they were sitting on the sofa, all of them were no longer smiling, their faces were a little strict, Cheng Xiaoyu paused for a moment and continued, "Why do you choose to say it now, because as soon as this album comes out, you will completely walk to the top of the most dazzling in the whole of China, and then the following are all opponents who want to pull you to the dust." I warn you in advance. Now your biggest weakness is your singing skills, maybe you will think that idol singers, singing skills are not so important, yes, that's right, that's for ordinary idol singers, but you're not, you want to become the idol of the heavenly group. And singing skills are the biggest constraint for you. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dignified, Cheng Xiaoyu said in a relaxed tone: "It's not that all of you can sing like SUMMER, after all, she is too talented, but I hope you must at least do a good job in basic skills." Especially Xu Qinning, her voice is so good in timbre, but she can't use it, it's a pity. You need to strengthen your voice control from now on. Start by practicing the breath, the grasp of the breath directly affects your strength and weakness, timbre and other basic sound tables, you need to practice the long tone. The long tone is the basis for the pronunciation of a qiē. ”

When Xu Qinning heard Cheng Xiaoyu's words, she turned her head away with a disapprehensive face, and said in her heart, "Why do you always compare that Xia Shamo, one day I will surpass her." She said silently in her heart. "I'm not going to give up. But she didn't know what she meant by her refusal.

"Youli, Xue Xuan and Xiuzhi, you also have to strengthen the practice of breath, breath is the support of singing songs, and it is also the support of change. The strength and weakness lie in the sound, and the change in the virtual and the real lies in the qi. As long as you have to practice more breath control, you can achieve a mellow and clear resonance without too much breath, and before the transposition, the breath transient tone is turned off, and it is immediately adjusted to the singing state of falsetto. In this way, the transition between true and false sounds will be smooth and untraceable. If there is something you don't understand, ask the vocal teacher. ”

"Xi Xi and Xiujing are singing well now, and now they should pay attention to the use of advanced skills, such as vibrato, pharyngeal sound, and remixing. Cheng Xiaoyu is the producer of the three songs of the Idol Project, and he is so familiar with the voices of each girl that he can't be more familiar, so he naturally knows where they need to pay attention.

After saying it to them like a few family treasures, it is a bit of a headache to think of this album, even if you are practicing your singing skills diligently now, it is far from quenching your thirst. He racked his brain to think of a quick fix, but he couldn't get inspiration. Of course, it is impossible to cultivate the sound indefinitely, and it is not a panacea to say that the sound repair is not a panacea, and the songs they recorded before are mainly not penetrating enough, which is difficult to make up for through guò sound repair. And if it's over-embellished, what will happen to concerts in the future? What will happen to singers' clubs? It is impossible for all activities to rely on lip-synching, after all, not lip-synching is the professional ethics of singers, and if they are discovered, their reputation will be ruined.

Between frowning, Cheng Xiaoyu thought of lip-synching, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, regardless of the six girls who were still sitting on the sofa waiting for him to teach, he hurriedly ran towards the post-production office without saying a word.

He remembered the accompaniment that singers used to sing live in his previous life, and in this accompaniment there was a harmony track and a doubletracking track, and the doubletracking track in the back was the key.

Why did Cheng Xiaoyu think of the doubletracking track at this time, as the music director of a TV station, he still knows a lot about singers' live performances.

Usually there are three types of accompaniment, MMO, which is the usual accompaniment with the main vocal track removed.

MMA, a pure instrumental accompaniment stripped of all life tracks.

MMM, which is the original CD song.

And doubletracking, which is a very deceptive thing in lip-syncing. Doubletracking, also known as vocaldoubing, simply means recording the human voice twice.

This technique was discovered by a Beatles sound engineer in the sixties and seventies, when he found the same vocals of the same person in one recording, and after recording them twice, they were superimposed, and it still sounded like they were sung once, but the sound became thicker, more powerful, more pleasant, and more penetrating. So he began to apply this technique to the recording of albums, and this technology developed later, and some recording engineers would stack more than one track in order to enhance the sound quality.

Cheng Xiaoyu was not a recording engineer in his previous life, so he didn't think of this when he recorded by himself. And many ordinary domestic recording engineers don't know the trick of this, Cheng Xiaoyu also had a large-scale party, because of the lack of satellite TV manpower was seconded to the scene, and heard the singer and the director arguing, only to notice, at that time the singer said to the director that she didn't want to sing M, at least to sing O.

This was remembered by the curious Cheng Xiaoyu, so he specifically asked the music director of Satellite TV, what is it called not wanting to sing O, and those who want to change to a small station must not understand the doorway, but Provincial Satellite TV is the largest satellite TV in addition to CCTV, as the director of the provincial TV station who often supervises large-scale galas, naturally knows the strange things, and explained to Cheng Xiaoyu, he remembered this cheat.

At that time, the rule in China was that those who played MMM accompaniment belonged to lip-synching, and those who played MMA belonged to 100% true singing.

Playing MMO is one of the indefinable between the two, after all, the doubletracking track is only a secondary lead track, so the volume is relatively small. Most of the semi-open mics of many Korean singing and dancing groups in the previous life were put into MMO, and very few were put in MMM, after all, it was too embarrassing to put MMM, and it was easy to be recognized.

And in the master tape of the sound source of the "Idol Project" that Cheng Xiaoyu heard just now, judging from the thickness of the voice, there is no detail of the doubletracking track at all, which means that it is very likely that this big weapon for cheating for singers has not been discovered in this time and space.

Cheng Xiaoyu ran to the post-production room, asked the staff to call up the master audio source from the computer, and brought the monitor headphones to listen to it again, as a person with absolute hearing, in the environment of monitoring headphones, it is naturally easy to distinguish the difference, sure enough, there is no doubletracking track in this time and space or this technology has not been popularized, after all, it was discovered by accident in the previous life.

Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing, experiencing the fun of crossing the golden fingers for the first time. In this way, for the first seven songs, as long as he adds a doubletracking track and arranges some harmonies, he can effectively solve the singing problem of the idol plan, and the live performance will not show flaws, for singing and dancing singers, there is no stronger killer than this.

Ma Guoli saw Cheng Xiaoyu so happy, and couldn't help but ask, "Yu Shao, what's wrong?"

Cheng Xiaoyu glanced at Ma Guoli, who was curious, hesitated, and still planned to bury this secret in his heart, so he smiled and said to Ma Guoli, "I thought of some ways to optimize the sound source, I will record some suitable harmonic arrangements later, so that the melodic and audibility of the music will be strengthened a lot, and I will do the mixing later." I'll have them record some harmony tracks in the afternoon. ”

Ma Guoli nodded with some suspicion, this is indeed a method, but it is not a good method, he looked at the smile on Cheng Xiaoyu's face, and felt that Cheng Xiaoyu's method was definitely not so simple. (To be continued.) )
