Chapter 785: Ye Zi's Hot Hands
(Friends, I wish you all a happy National Day and all the best!) )
Before lunch, Ye Zi held his electric guitar and personally recorded the electric guitar sound track for "Your Eyes", and the recording of this song only left two tracks of backing vocals that had not yet been recorded. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but that's a small thing, and Ye Zi doesn't need to pay attention to it, anyway, the accompaniment score has already been written, and Huaxing Records will find a suitable accompaniment singer to take the time to record these contents.
The time is relatively tight these days, and Sister Mei's singing recording must be completed as soon as possible, and there is no time left for backup singers.
Sister Mei is a busy person.
After the recording of "Your Eyes" was completed, Steve. Davidson didn't leave immediately, as he was used to. He has been relying on the/one/studio today, and after dinner, he reluctantly said goodbye and left.
Today, his saxophone recording process adds up to just over an hour, but the process in between is full of ups and downs. Davidson even fell into despair for a while. If this is the end of this recording, it would be for Steve. Davidson's confidence blow will be fatal. Unexpectedly, during the break, Sister Mei's singing suddenly gave Steve. Davidson brought inspiration, and the end result was still a bright one, Steve Brown. Davidson still fulfilled Ye Zi's devilish and demanding requirements with quality and quantity.
This kind of experience has made Steve, who has been highly respected and accustomed to smooth sailing since coming to Xiangjiang. Davidson benefited a lot. It's just a day's work, just a recording process, Steve. Davidson had already quietly sensed that his saxophone playing skills had taken a new step.
This is extremely rare.
This kind of recording work, no matter how many twists and turns you go through during the period, it is worth it.
In the afternoon, taking advantage of the interval between recordings, Steve. Davidson and Ye Zi talked a lot, including their views on saxophone performance, including their understanding of various styles and trends of pop music, etc., and the two still have a common language.
Ye Zi certainly wouldn't refuse to talk to Steve. Davidson's further contact, for Ye Zi's future, such excellent musicians must be as many as possible.
……
The recording of the song "Your Eyes" was completed before lunch, which was somewhat unexpected, but it was normal during the recording of the album. Recording is a job that pays attention to the singer's feeling and state, and many times the singer can't find the feeling of singing the song that was originally planned, but he can't sing a song that is not in the plan.
Of course, you have to change the song temporarily, and it's not a big deal.
Sister Mei naturally didn't have the problem of not being able to find the feeling of singing here, and in the afternoon, she still recorded the song "Love You a Thousand Times in My Life" as planned.
To be honest, Ye Zi himself doesn't particularly like this song. Although this song is very distinctive, especially the melody that goes back and forth is quite atmospheric, which is very in line with Sister Mei's singing characteristics. But in Ye Zi's view, even if some elements of Chinese folk music are used, this song actually does not write any new ideas, and it is still a masterpiece among the saliva songs in mass production.
It's just that Ye Zi doesn't like it, it doesn't mean that fans don't like it.
In the previous life, the popularity of this song was second only to "Woman Flower" in the album, and the singing rate in KTV remained high, which is enough to show that Ye Zi's cognition of a certain song is not necessarily correct. It is precisely with this factor in mind that Ye Zi did not replace this work according to his preferences, but still kept it.
Sister Mei liked this song very much, and she was well prepared early, and the recording in the afternoon was completed in one go. Even some small notes that often appeared in previous singing, this time Sister Mei controlled it quite well, and she did a very good job in terms of pitch, impeccable. Ye Zi's new request for her is to change her most criticized treble is hard, flattened, and easy to explode, Sister Mei's completion is also extremely high, and the treble is also controlled to be as soft and warm as the middle bass, so that Ye Zi has almost nothing to say when he listens.
The recording process of the whole song Ye Zi basically didn't take much brains, and it went very smoothly.
Singing along again and again was officially recorded, and then a little bit of a small problem was repaired, and it only took a little more than an hour for Sister Mei to successfully complete the recording of the song "Love You a Thousand Times in My Life". It took a lot of time to prepare, and the time that was actually spent on singing and recording was only half an hour at most.
Singers have such a common problem, once they are interested in singing, they can't stop at all, Brother Xue You, Sister Mei is like this, in fact, he will be like this when it comes to Ye Zi himself. So after completing the recording of "Love You a Thousand Times in My Life", Sister Mei immediately asked to continue.
Okay, anyway, Sister Mei's singing state today is quite good, so ...... Go ahead.
……
"Sister Mei, this "Moonlight" is accompanied by the piano version, and it is enough to record it once." Before recording the next song, Ye Zi discussed with Sister Mei.
"Are you sure?" Sister Mei tilted her head and glanced at Ye Zi: "Xiao Yezi, don't you like Bao Pida's arrangement very much, why don't you suddenly use the version he made?" ”
Ye Zi shook his head and smiled: "It's one thing to like Bao Pida's arrangement, but when it comes to this "Moonlight", I think this piano version made by Lun Yongliang is more in line with the artistic conception of the song, and it is also more in harmony with the atmosphere of the whole album." ”
"Besides, I didn't agree to divide this song "Moonlight" into "First Quarter Moon Version" and "Second Quarter Moon Version", which is a bit of a fantasy, and in fact there is no need for this at all. It's just that at that time, considering that the number of suitable tracks was a bit insufficient, I agreed, Sister Mei, you should know these things. Now that we have the song "Your Eyes" added to the album, the content of the album is rich enough to fully support the overall structure, I think it is better not to make up the number of people like this, just make this album more simple and pure. ”
"Sister Mei, what do you think?"
This is also Ye Zi's targeted change to this album, just like Ye Zi said to Sister Mei, to make the whole album more pure, and there is no need to deliberately play any tricks. Ye Zi kept two versions of "Kiss Goodbye" in Brother Xueyou's album, but the situation was different. Brother Xueyou's album has very few original songs, most of them are reprints of old songs, and Ye Zi's addition of a different version of "Kiss Goodbye" is not offensive. And Brother Xueyou's singing is really good, and the two singing have formed two completely different types and styles, of course, they can be processed in two versions.
Sister Mei sings the same here, it's just the difference in arrangement, and then play a little tricky with the text, then it's not necessary at all.
"I don't have any opinion, just do as you say." Sister Mei nodded.
Of course, she can also understand Ye Zi's thoughts, just like she herself had concerns in this regard, and Sister Mei can fully accept Ye Zi's approach.
But......
"Little leaf, that ...... How did Babida explain it to him? ”
"Sister Mei, you don't need to explain anything to him about this, right?" Ye Zi said with a smile: "We invited Bao Bida to help make a version of the arrangement, he completed the arrangement, and the remuneration we should have paid to him has already been paid, which means that the cooperation between us has come to an end." As for whether or not to use his arrangement in the album, it should be up to us to decide, and we have the right to do so. ”
"Don't worry, Sister Mei, Bao Bida has been arranging music all year round, he must be very clear about this, it's a big deal to think about him a little more when he has the opportunity in the future."
For these things, Ye Zi understands very deeply.
Originally, this should be the case, no matter how much you appreciate Bao Pida, Ye Zi must first start from the needs of the album, and only on this basis can he consider a little personal preferences and habits. When the needs of the album conflict with personal preferences, it must be the needs of the album, and this is what a producer should think of and do.
is like this "Moonlight", a very textured and touching pro-kindness song, Ye Zi also likes it quite much. However, it is a more flattering solution to divide this song into two songs, the "First Quarter Moon Version" with a full band accompaniment and the "Second Quarter Moon Version" with a single piano accompaniment, in the case of insufficient number of suitable album works, but in the case of a sufficient number of works, it is completely unnecessary to do so, and it will also make people feel that Huaxing Records and Sister Mei are not atmospheric enough.
It would be terrible to give fans such an impression, and it would definitely affect the evaluation and sales of the album.
As the producer of the album, Ye Zi can tolerate the existence of this small problem when there are no conditions, but after the conditions are met, this problem must be completely solved. Compared with the overall impression of the album, the cost of arranging a song is of course just a drizzle, and some of the thoughts in Bao Pida's mind are also negligible.
All the decisions were made in order to make a comeback album that is extremely important for Sister Mei.
When needed, Ye Zi can also be ruthless. (To be continued.) )
