Chapter 690: Mountains don't go to people, people go to mountains
Standing in the dimly lit recording room with headphones on again, Jin Wenbin was nervous, not knowing what the result of this attempt would be. Will the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info go well? Or are you still in the fog and can't find your way forward? If this continues, will I really lose the qualification to record this album?
No, still...... I still hope Ye Zi's method is effective.
Jin Wenbin was pondering wildly, and Ye Zi's voice came from the earphones.
"Jin Wenbin, I adjusted the accompaniment just now, now you follow the accompaniment again, let's start."
After Ye Zi finished speaking, the prelude music of "hello" sounded in the earphones.
Hey, the string part in front...... How did it get like this? The sound of the piano sounded ...... Why does it seem to be a little floating, what's going on? How is it completely different from the original accompaniment?
This is no longer the original accompaniment, so how should I sing it?
As soon as his mind was interrupted and his mind was not focused, Jin Wenbin panicked and missed the obvious suggestive chord before the first line of singing began, and by the time he remembered that this place should be sung, the accompaniment had already passed.
The music in the headphones immediately stopped.
"Jin Wenbin, it's late to sing, you have to pay attention. I just changed the timbre of the accompanying instruments, nothing else moved, the songs came in and out of the same place, you don't have to deliberately look for these places, how you sang it and how you sing it now. ”
"Okay, let's do it again, Jin Wenbin, gather your spirits."
Jin Wenbin's mind didn't dare to interrupt anymore, and he concentrated all his attention. The soft phrases woven by the strings and piano slowly drifted by, and Jin Wenbin gently closed his eyes and began to sing.
i've/been/alone/with/you/inside/my/mind (I've been thinking about you alone) all along......
……
Jin Wenbin's singing is basically the same as before, there is almost no big change, the only good thing is that after an hour or so of rest, and he has gradually become familiar with the matter of recording, his voice now sounds a little more lustrous and elastic than an hour ago.
This is a good progress, but other than that, his singing is still the same as before, with no change in timbre, pitch, or feeling, and what was originally lacking is still lacking. But the strange thing is that the singing voice from the monitor speakers in the control room sounds much more comfortable, and it already has a bit of the special charm of the original English song.
Ye Zi nodded silently, and then reached out to adjust Jin Wenbin's timbre, slightly increasing the bass of about 185hz, and then lengthening the tail note of the reverberator a little, and the first reflection area was narrowed smaller, so that the prefix of each word was more clearly highlighted.
Then, Ye Zi tapped his toes, asked the chair to take a step back, listened carefully for a while, and nodded with satisfaction again.
"Ye Zi, it sounds much more comfortable this time, Jin Wenbin has opened up?" Nie Xiaoshuang asked softly.
She and Chen Xinwen have been staying in the control room, and they all know what Jin Wenbin's previous singing was like, but now this time, it seems that it is really different.
Ye Zi smiled: "You listen carefully." ”
"Hey, it's weird," Nie Xiaoshuang is a girl with a lot of aura, and after listening carefully, she heard the clues: "Jin Wenbin seems to be still the original way of singing, why does it sound much better than before?" ”
"Ye Zi, what kind of magic have you changed?"
"What's the magic, you look down on me too much." Ye Zihe explained with a smile: "I just readjusted the accompaniment, thinned the strings, changed to a lighter piano tone, and then cut the bass of the bass and drums a little, adjusted the parameters of the effects, and emphasized their elasticity more, so that they also have a little lightness feeling, so that they can match Jin Wenbin's timbre." ”
"After the overall timbre of the accompaniment is adjusted, it can be combined with Jin Wenbin's timbre to form a relatively complete whole, so it sounds like his singing has become much better all of a sudden. Actually......"
"Actually, Jin Wenbin's singing has not changed, what has changed is the accompaniment you make." Chen Xinwen answered on the side.
Ye Zi nodded with a smile: "That's right, what has changed is the accompaniment I made." ”
"Ye Zi, it's really hard for you to come up with such a good way, otherwise Jin Wenbin's recording doesn't know when it will end, and now it should be fast, right?" Chen Xinwen flattered Ye Zi, and Nie Xiaoshuang also kept nodding on the side.
Today's twists and turns in Jin Wenbin's recording experience also opened their eyes.
Ye Zi shook his head and sighed: "Lao Chen, Sister Xiaoshuang, don't praise me anymore, the main responsibility for today's incident is still me, my actual combat experience is still too little, and the types of singers I have contacted are not enough, so I wasted so much time in front of me." Isn't there an old saying that people don't go to the mountains, people can go to the mountains, and I should have thought of this method a long time ago. ”
"But now that I've found the right way, it's really fast to follow."
Ye Zi's words were not polite, but really felt something, and Jin Wenbin's incident touched him a lot.
Before today, Ye Zi thought that he had mastered enough things in the field of recording and production, and he could completely take charge of himself. In fact, this idea is not wrong, at the level of recording technology, Ye Zi has indeed stood in a very high position, otherwise his album would not have been unanimously recognized by Professor Huang Zichen and Professor Lei Ming as having excellent quality, otherwise he and Zhang Chuanjie would not have been able to talk together the day before yesterday. But when it comes to experience, Ye Zi didn't know that he was still far lacking until today.
Like Jin Wenbin, although he may not be able to encounter it every time he is recording, there are not many opportunities to encounter it. When recording a compilation album sung by multiple people, or recording those accompaniment tapes to demonstrate singing, the selection of singers pays more attention to the vocal characteristics rather than the singer's singing skills, so it is very easy to have a situation like Jin Wenbin.
So what to do?
If Teacher Lu Zheng or Zhang Chuanjie were present today, Ye Zi believed that they would have solved this problem a long time ago, and it would never be possible to drag it out for several hours, so would they still have to complete the task? As for the solution to the problem, Ye Zi didn't know, but Ye Zi was sure that they would use other ingenious methods, instead of working very hard like Ye Zi. Ye Zi couldn't think of a better, easier and more suitable solution, so he had to spend a lot of effort to change the overall timbre and characteristics of the accompaniment to fit the singer's singing. Of course, such a method can be used, but even Ye Zi has to admit that this is a stupid method.
From this point of view alone, Ye Zi still has a lot to learn and improve in the field of recording and production.
However, this time, although Ye Zi spent a lot of time and energy to finally solve this headache problem, which seemed very stupid and not worth it, in fact, Ye Zi still gained a lot. This made Ye Zi clearly realize that in addition to accumulating various experiences in the field of recording and production, he also needed to change his fixed thinking and make his way of dealing with and solving problems more flexible.
The mountain is not a person, but a person can go to the mountain, which is actually a flexible and more flexible way to deal with it. Only in this way, the next time something like this happens, Ye Zi's solution will never be as stupid and lengthy as it is today.
……
"Jin Wenbin, I sang well this time, but you still can't sing those semitones. Well, when you get there, I'll play the melody on the keyboard to guide you, and you can just sing along. ”
"Okay, ready, we'll make up these places now."
Ye Zi sat on the swivel chair for the recording engineer and said with confidence. (To be continued.) )
