Chapter 684: Recording the album begins
"Liu Qi, Shu Hua, Ru Lan, Hua Jianyue, Wu Ruisheng, the five of you are the first batch of recordings tomorrow, Jin Wenbin, Nie Xiaoshuang, Chen Xinwen, the three of you recorded on the 13th. www.biquge.info Liu Qi, you come over tomorrow at 9 a.m., and the others will come here before 12 noon, and all three of you will arrive here before 10 a.m. on the 13th. ”
"If there is a problem with the timing, bring it up now, and I will reschedule."
After the audition, Ye Zi began to arrange the order in which each contestant recorded, which was also a little exquisite. After the audition just now, Ye Zi already has enough understanding of the voice characteristics and singing skills of these eight contestants, so he arranged the few people who are most likely to be recorded quickly in two days, and the other few players who are likely to need to be re-recorded many times are matched with these contestants who can be recorded quickly, which is most conducive to the smooth progress of the recording work.
If the players with excellent singing skills are put together, the recording work of that day will definitely go very smoothly, maybe it can be done quickly in only half a day, but if those who are slightly worse in singing skills are put together, then Ye Zike will have a headache. Several people record together, and they will affect each other, the first one does not sing well, and the latter one is influenced by him (her), and maybe it plays even worse, which is likely to be a disaster for the recording.
Can't sing it all over again? It's okay, do it again. It's still not good to sing it again, okay, then go ahead and do it again. But if it doesn't work for the third or fourth time, then go on...... Ye Zi, the recording engineer, is waiting to be angry or cry bitterly.
Recording, especially the recording before the advent of sound editing software (in fact, it is the same after it appeared), the emphasis is on singing in one go after feeling the bit, one or two times, at most three or four times, and then some minor repairs and small repairs in the details, by no means soaking in the recording studio eight times, ten times, or even twenty or thirty times of continuous singing as imagined. That's the Mai Ba in the later generations of KTV, not a real recording, and something that is barely recorded like that will never be full of aura. The inspiration for singing is often fleeting, and after singing ten or eight times, even if the voice is swallowed, the feeling of singing has long been gone, and when it is recorded, it is not called singing but howling.
The singing level of these eight contestants is uneven, if Ye Zi wants the recording work to go smoothly, without making some arrangements and adjustments in advance, and letting the players with excellent singing skills lead the performance of the players who are slightly worse, it will definitely not work. In fact, the work of recording together with many people has always tested the skills and abilities of the recording engineer.
Several other players had no objection to Ye Zi's arrangement, but Liu Qi did.
"Little Yezi, why did you let me come alone in the morning? I can't open my voice, can I record it? Or I'll record it in the evening, or in the afternoon. Liu Qi was a little worried.
Generally speaking, the voice can be opened in the morning, but in terms of singing status, it does not belong to the singer's excitement period, and the recording effect will be relatively reluctant, but this is not an absolute thing. Liu Qi often records, and he knows that the best time for him to record is in the evening, and he can also do it in the afternoon, but it can be put in the morning...... He wasn't sure.
Ye Zi deliberately glanced at him: "Don't know if it's okay?" Your song is original, it takes a little more time than a cover, so wouldn't it be better to record it for you alone in the morning? I've got you covered up for three hours. Besides, the morning time can't be empty there, right, you must use it, you don't come to record the second place, who will replace it? ”
"Liu Qi, are you embarrassed to change with someone else?"
"This ......" Liu Qi hesitated. What Ye Zi said was very reasonable, and his pride really needed to be maintained in this way.
"Okay, don't worry." Ye Zi patted Liu Qi's shoulder and said with relief: "I'll help you massage it when you come tomorrow, it will definitely make you full of energy, and you will definitely be able to sing well." You should also know my recording skills, and I promise to record you an excellent piece of music. ”
"How?"
"That'...... All right. Liu Qi finally nodded and agreed.
The contestants are all smart people, and when Liu Qi's request was mentioned, although Ye Zi did not agree, everyone also felt something from Ye Zi's words.
Ye Zi simply told all the contestants about the difference between the morning, afternoon and evening recordings, and then continued with a smile: "Although everyone can rest assured, although there are indeed some differences here, in fact, the difference is not big, more mainly psychological factors and habits. Before you start recording, I'll use all sorts of methods to get your singing exciting, as long as you try your best to sing at your level, I'll take care of the rest. ”
"I also have a request to everyone, that is, please rest as much as possible in the past few days, and be careful not to catch a cold and fever, which will cause greater damage to the recording. But don't worry if you catch a cold and fever, I'll wait for your body to recover, so don't worry about it. ”
"Okay, that's all for today's matter, everyone hurry up and rest after you go back, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I'm waiting for you here."
……
The next day, Saturday, July 11, on the morning, the recording of the album of the award-winning singers of the "Top Ten Campus Singer Selection" officially began.
"Hey, Xiao Yezi, I didn't expect you to have this hand, it's really smart."
After Ye Zi's "massage", Liu Qi twisted his body, waved his arms, jumped twice, and sang a few words softly. He only felt that he was full of energy, and his voice was in the most comfortable situation after resting, and the whole person was slightly excited, which was exactly the kind of state that was extremely suitable for recording.
"Comfortable, right?" Ye Zi asked with a smile.
Liu Qi gave a thumbs up in satisfaction.
"If you're comfortable, why don't you hurry in, and you want me to invite you, Young Master Liu?" Ye Zi teased.
For the sake of Ye Zi helping him "massage" just now, Liu Qi rarely did not fight back, and obediently walked into the smallest recording room. Ye Zi held a recording microphone and then followed.
"How you usually stand most comfortably, how to stand now, I'll put the microphone."
"Don't turn around when singing, try to sing in the center of the microphone."
"Haha, I know you know this, but you still have to listen to me repeat it, other recording engineers don't know how to sing, they certainly don't know as clearly as I do."
"Remember, the main part of the song can be a little closer to the pop guard, the burst is a little more convergent so as not to cause a spout, and the chorus part is a little bit back. No, don't move your steps, just swing your upper body back and forth a little bit like that, and the range of movement must not be too large. Also, try to be as delicate as possible when singing, and don't exaggerate the dynamic amplitude of the voice to control it. ”
"I'll rub it, you really think I'm verbose? Believe it or not, I recorded your voice as a pig barking? ”
"Okay, I'm out, I'll sing along to you twice later, and we'll start recording officially. Liu Qi, don't tell me that it's not enough to talk to me twice, I'll despise you. ”
After some exchange when the microphone was placed in the recording room, Liu Qi completely relaxed, and when he sang along for the first time, his singing feeling had been completely found. At the same time, Ye Zi's first step in dealing with his voice was basically in place. So Ye Zi learned the method of Teacher Lu Zheng when he helped him record "The Sound of the Waves Remains", and Mingli told Liu Qi to continue to sing along for the second time, repeat the familiar feeling, and secretly he directly recorded Liu Qi's second singing.
"Come out and listen to your singing, Young Master Liu."
Gently pressing the red recording button, Ye Zi tiptoed, and the recorder's special swivel chair quickly turned in a circle, showing Ye Zi's inner happiness. Then, Ye Zi said proudly into the talking microphone.
