Chapter 156: Helping Someone Make a Song (Chapter 4K)
In the large class classroom of the Department of Archaeology of J University, Lin Yu was bored looking at the mobile phone web page, occasionally cutting out to reply to a message, and there were also a few boring people opposite.
Next to Lin Yu sat Nangong Yun, a senior math teacher wearing deep myopia glasses, as for the following, ten of the forty or so students who listened carefully to the class burned high incense, most of the students were underground battles, a thick stack of books in front of them, playing with mobile phones, listening to music and listening to music, no different from an ordinary class that had already given up resistance in high school.
It's still a regular course, and the professional course doesn't start until the sophomore year, in short, regardless of whether the major course is a major course or not, the current archaeology students have lost their motivation for the future, and more than half of them are like this, and the other few individuals are not included in the overall consideration.
The phone vibrated twice, Lin Yu opened QQ and found that it was a message from Duan Jiantao, during which the kid glanced at him, blinked, and signaled that there was something on it.
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly browsed.
After reading it, Lin Yu typed: "Good results of the subscription must be good news, keep working hard, maybe you will become a god, and the future online literature industry will depend on you to rise." β
Duan Jiantao replied helplessly: "Forget it, I think I can have more than 2,000 yuan for the manuscript this month, and I will try to order more than 3,000 yuan, and then invite our dormitory to have a big meal!" β
"It's not easy, you kid don't invite Malatang?"
Lin Yu raised his eyebrows.
"......" Duan Jiantao immediately wrote, "I'm just joking, you take it seriously...... By the way, you know Zhou Fan in our class, right? β
Duan Jiantao suddenly changed the subject.
"Well, what's wrong?"
"It's easy to say, didn't he form a band with someone some time ago? Then he is the guitarist of the band, Wang Yujie of the music department is the lead singer, there are not many members in it, and the only person who sings well is Zhou Fan, who is recruiting members of the team these days......"
"Forming a band?"
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment. He is not too unfamiliar with the name Wang Yujie, isn't Wang Yujie the boy who sang "Believe in Yourself" at the beginning of last year's party?
It's just that the latter words made Lin Yu stunned for a moment.
Lin Yu suddenly remembered that when he used to be, he had also formed a band with a few people in the dormitory. Then the band lasted for a few months before announcing its breakdown, and at that time, Lin Yu also moved out alone, and it was from the interest that lasted for a few months that he plunged headlong into the money-burning and promising industry of music. Eight years have passed, and his age is gradually getting closer to that of a middle-aged man, but as for the dream of a musician, he is gradually lost in the thick fog, and it is difficult to pursue it.
It was a past that was inexplicably sad when touched......
"Yes, Zhou Fan is more familiar with me, he said that Wang Yujie wrote his own songs, that is a great person in the music department of our school, some time ago I was thinking about going to the recording studio to make a song, and then make a single to come out......"
"It's too much money."
Lin Yu casually made an opinion. Going to the studio? It's simply a reflection of people's stupidity and a lot of money, if a song comes out of there, it can be as little as a few thousand yuan, as much as tens of thousands of yuan, not to mention the promotion of music and the like in the future, which will burn more money, of course, it must also pass the quality of its own songs, otherwise no matter how much money and platform to promote, it can only be ignored.
"Well, he also said that the place was too expensive. If you want to talk about Yanjing, there must be many recording studios, and we are a second-tier city that lacks everything, and there are few good recording studios. The asking price is too expensive, and besides, the music department is full of novices, and there are no people who are good at arranging, so Zhou Fan asked me to find someone who can arrange music...... By the way, Lin Yu, you can sing, are you interested in joining their band? I remember you sang about Stefanie Sun's encounter last year. That's a nice sound! β
ββ¦β¦β
Lin Yu sent an ellipsis in, Duan Jiantao and Zhou Fan cared about it very well, but he didn't expect Zhou Fan, a clever guy with eyebrows and eyes, to play the guitar?
He hadn't heard of it before, and he was a little surprised.
"I'll forget it, I'm not interested in it." Lin Yu refused with a smile, and then said, "However, if it's an arrangement, I can do them a small favor." β
Lin Yu smiled and sent it over.
Duan Jiantao was stunned: "No, Lin Yu, you can arrange music?!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Is there anything strange about this?
Lin Yu helplessly sent a few ellipses over, purely idle.
After a while, this high math class was quickly completed, and it didn't take long for Lin Yu to meet Zhou Fan, who was also in the same department, and Wang Yujie from the music department.
Zhou Fan didn't say anything right, as for Wang Yujie, this is a boy who is about the same height as him, short hair, a very sunny and handsome boy, who can give people an inexplicable good impression at a glance.
"We've met."
Wang Yujie smiled and stretched out his hand.
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately stretched out his hand to shake it, but he was a very polite kid, and he shook hands.
"Brother Lin, do you really know how to make music?" Zhou Fan looked at Lin Yu with a shocked expression.
Lin Yu shrugged, in fact, it was nothing to promise Duan Jiantao, mainly because Duan Jiantao told himself, and casually agreed, the time before the Taifeng Dijing house changed hands was relatively free, and he could also remember the past events that he had missed......
"Lin Yu, what do you need us to prepare?"
Wang Yujie was not verbose, and after chatting casually, he looked at Lin Yu directly, looking more anxious.
Lin Yu asked, "Do you know how to keep music?" β
Wang Yujie nodded.
"That's okay, lyrics, dry sound, score, dry sound can be recorded with a mobile phone, there is no need to go to the recording studio to record, and there is no good recording studio in Huatian City, they all use some microphones of thousands of yuan, a few hundred yuan an hour is too expensive, where there is good equipment, people are using it themselves, not open to the public, so when the finished product is not produced, there is no need to go."
Lin Yu instructed, and said, "Oh yes, I still need a computer." He looked at Duan Jiantao, this kid's computer is just enough, but he doesn't write novels anymore?
"Is the notebook okay?"
Duan Jiantao looked at Lin Yu weakly, what he meant was naturally to let Lin Yu requisition the powerful computer.
Lin Yu shook his head helplessly: "No, the laptop can't carry those software, and there are still some places that need to be paid, you see......"
"I'll pay."
Wang Yujie smiled, at first they were ready to go to the recording studio to find someone to arrange and mix music, and now they have a great god in the same school. You might be able to save a lot of money.
Lin Yu nodded, and then told the two of them some necessary sound cards, MIDI keyboards, monitoring headphones and other things, the initial cost of three thousand was already barely passing, and about two thousand was okay.
"That. How much do you want? β
Wang Yujie smiled.
Lin Yu waved his hand and said, "It's my cooperation with you, just write the arranger as me, and I won't charge money." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the way back, Duan Jiantao discussed with Lin Yu: "Lin Yu." I think I can write novels with a high-powered computer, and you arrange music for them first, by the way, when did you learn the technical work of arranging? Wang Yujie told me before that many of them in the music department are beginners in arrangement, but that thing is too difficult, a group of buttons, and then all kinds of plug-ins, and there are English symbols on it, and I was going to go to the recording studio to spend a lot of money to arrange music these days. It's good that this is saved. Duan Jiantao smiled.
Lin Yu nodded and didn't speak.
After a while, Lin Yu sat in front of the computer and frowned.
Desktop computers generally replace the built-in sound card, as for laptops, they can only use external USB sound cards, even if it is more than 1,000 yuan USB sound card, compared with the built-in 200 yuan sound card of desktop computers, it may be difficult to compare. This is the essential difference between a desktop and a laptop.
After a casual search on the Internet, Lin Yu chose FLstudio and Cubase respectively, two host software for integrated arrangement, and when he struggled for his music career alone in his previous life, he used the first two. In general, he uses the former to arrange music, the latter to mix, and of course, there are functions that are not as powerful as the first two powerful software such as Cooleditpro, and the latter software can be said to be his introductory music production software.
As for being a little more expensive, there is also an Apple processing software. That's ProTools,This host software has to be said to be very powerful,In the years before the rebirth of the media company,Lin Yu used this,But it's quite expensive,It's thousands of dollars if it's complete,Including some genuine audio plug-ins,The yuan has exceeded 10,000 yuan,It's obviously unaffordable for him beforeγ
After a while, Lin Yu found the cracked software of the two on the Internet, and then waited boredly for it to be downloaded.
I have to say that the network speed in this era is too slow, and after waiting for a while, Lin Yu saw that the two software were downloaded, and after a while, the familiar installation page appeared, and after a while, Duan Jiantao had already installed these two software on his computer, the audio source and the effect......
Lin Yu frowned, and searched on the Internet again, this process is quite time-consuming, and some websites will install some Trojan plug-ins in the name of downloading, which makes people unguardable.
And just like that, the afternoon passed in front of the computer......
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Campus Singer Contest?"
"Well, our school, the University of Science and Technology and the Normal University are held in the Provincial Gymnasium, which is said to be sponsored by what company and school, and then didn't the audition for Super Girl come out early some time ago? There have been a lot of these singer competitions recently, should we go and see them too? β
"Brother Duan, I'll go, do you want to howl?"
"I'll forget it, if you want to go, it should be Lin Yu, our dormitory is just such a god of songs, but he is not cold, he doesn't seem to be interested, it's really condescending."
"Others are busy picking up girls, so they definitely can't take care of it."
Lin Yu: "......"
Outside the dormitory corridor, there was the sound of Duan Jiantao and Nangong Yun chatting outside, Lin Yu was just taking off the headset that came with the computer at this time, and debugged it casually, the software was basically okay, that is, the sound card of this computer would have a high delay when used, so it was an obvious defect to the arrangement and mixing, and it seemed that we had to wait until the sound card came back to make plans.
"What are you two doing outside the door? Why don't you come back? β
Lin Yu stood up and stretched, busy all afternoon, mainly because the music sources and effects were not easy to download, but he also downloaded some familiar pirated music sources and effects in the afternoon, which can only be said to be barely passing, but some functions are missing if they are pirated.
If it really doesn't work, Lin Yu can just buy genuine software on the Internet, and even if he completely sees the goal of pursuing music, he can play in his leisure time in the future, and the two are not in conflict.
"Ahem, I'm not afraid of disturbing you?" Seeing Lin Yu walk out, Duan Jiantao said a little speechlessly, "Wang Yujie has already bought equipment, and the expected expenditure is three thousand yuan, have you recommended his equipment?" He's a layman. β
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "That's it, do you have his QQ number, send it over, I'll add him, and I'll tell him when it's over." β
"Oh, that's fine."
Duan Jiantao nodded.
At this moment, Lin Yu's expression was stunned for a moment, he suddenly caught a word from the chat between the two in front of him, and after an unprecedented wave passed through his heart, he frowned and asked, "You say...... Super Girl Audition? β
"Yes, it seems to have started in March, and there is just this singing area in our province, don't you know? Didn't there be a banner promoting Supergirl outside the school some time ago? It is said that many people from the music department went to participate, and the publicity was hot enough. β
Duan Jiantao seemed to be very concerned about this issue, and he couldn't stop talking about it endlessly.
"Supergirl Audition ......"
Lin Yu muttered, and suddenly remembered that he was at that time...... Have you ever had the pleasure of meeting one of the runners-up?
Familiar with Lingyu Media, familiar workplace, at that time, Lin Yu could only arrange and mix music for some small artists in the company every day, and he was very busy.
His salary is not bad, but it is all used to buy equipment, and he often can't make ends meet, and at that time, some of the people who started with him have already made some fame, but the company contract is restrained, and later there are some liquidated damages, and some directly quit the music industry......
"No, Brother Lin, you want to participate in Super Girl, I'll go! If you go to Thailand for sex reassignment surgery, you can participate, Ringo is definitely a popular candidate to win the championship, I am in favor! β
Nangong Yun said with a big grin, followed by one of Lin Yu's feet, and then Nangong Yun's voice begging for mercy came from the door.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Moments later, in the North Campus No. 2 cafeteria......
"What you said...... Just shop online, right? β
Wang Yujie looked at Lin Yu's list of must-haves with a puzzled expression.
To be honest, Lin Yu's list is already a very small investment, and he also knows that if he wants to play music, not to mention his ability, the equipment and the cost of some contracted companies are enough to eat a pot.
In addition to the so-called super girl programs that the whole people participate in can come out and regardless of the insider, the singer must have excellent strength or absolute hard power.
And one thing is very important, that is, appearance, unless you have a natural musical genius cell, if not, appearance will add a lot of chips, and even a decisive factor, people who mix well, people who mix badly, there will be no news in a year or two, this situation is quite common.
Speaking of which, Wang Yujie's initial impression of Lin Yu was not bad, but looking left and right, this boy was very much like Lin Yu at that time, he was all plunged into the music career, he was very enthusiastic about struggle, and he never knew what it meant to be tired, but compared to it, maybe others had more friends who were like-minded, and the profession was quite right, he was just a single person at that time, and finally lost helplessly.
Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and said: "Well, just shop online, Taobao should have it, if it doesn't work, go to Amazon to have a look, and you can start when you come back." β
"Then I'll give you the money first." Wang Yujie nodded, and then said with some gratitude, "Thank you so much, by the way, are you interested in participating in the campus singer competition in a month?" I think you sing very well. β
Lin Yu smiled, then shook his head.
Campus Singer Contest?
