Chapter 856: Coming to the Door (Part II)
Early in the morning, Ye Zi set off for the/one/studio, and Ah Kun made an appointment with him yesterday to wait for him in the recording studio. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ye Zi's hands and feet were very fast, and the erection of the recording equipment had been completed before 9 o'clock in the morning, including the radio microphone, connection cable, mixer, 1/4-inch 2-track mastering level opening recorder, etc., all of which had been placed in place, but the debugging work took him a lot of time and energy. Now, after the personnel enter the venue, he has to estimate the possible impact on the live recording according to the number of attendees, the density of the facilities in the venue, etc., and continue to make further fine-tuning of the recording equipment in order to achieve the best recording effect.
Recordings of classical music are completely different from recordings of pop songs, especially this kind of live recording, which is about getting it right at once, and there is no room for repairing it afterwards. Then a lot of work has to be thought out before recording.
For example, the placement of the microphone.
Classical concert recordings sometimes require a large number of microphones for the recording work, and sometimes they are very simple, even with only one microphone, depending on the needs of each situation. Of course, a microphone can only record mono music, which is not used anymore, but in the early days, it was the most common recording method. The acoustic environment of the orchestra's large rehearsal hall is quite ideal, so this time Ye Zi used three microphones DECCA/TREE microphone placement, using a T-bracket to firmly place two factory-paired, condenser microphones with completely consistent performance parameters at the rear of the conductor's podium, forming an angle of about 135 degrees between the two microphones, and the other compensation microphone is slightly about 70 cm in front of it, which is used to fill the "black hole effect" that often occurs when recording with two recording microphones. As a result, the recorded music will no longer have the disadvantage of a depression in the middle in terms of the sound field. At this time, Ye Zi moved the positions of the three microphones slightly up and down, left and right to fine-tune according to the specific situation of the scene, in order to achieve the most balanced sound field.
For the recording of classical music, post-production mixing begins at the very beginning.
This is the first time Ye Zi has tried to record classical music since he was reborn, and of course he will be extremely cautious, and the placement of these three microphones alone will take most of his time and energy in the morning. But when I heard the results of the trial recording just now, it was worth all the effort and time.
After making all the preparations before recording, Ye Zi left the rehearsal hall and went to the lounge, Sun Yun had already come to the orchestra station, and was now adjusting his mood in the lounge.
This afternoon's "verification" is also very important to him.
……
In the lounge, Sun Yun has changed into a formal performance costume - a hand-made black tuxedo, a white small stand-up collar shirt, a black bow tie, and a pair of black calfskin soft-soled leather shoes. The hairstylist and make-up artist trimmed his hair and put on a little light makeup. After such a hard time, Sun Yun was like a completely different person, and the whole person looked extremely young and energetic.
Sun Yun's handsome middle-aged appearance made Wenhui, who was sitting on the side, look at the little stars in his eyes.
"Teacher, I almost don't recognize you in your dress, you're so handsome! Amazing! ”
As soon as he entered the door, Ye Zidu was slightly stunned, and then raised his thumb and praised loudly.
"Well, when Ah Yun wears it like this, it makes me feel like I've gone back to more than ten years ago." Yutai Wenhui muttered: "Xiao Yezi, used to ...... Ah Yun dressed like this every time he played on stage, and at that time, even Europeans praised his taste in dressing, and many clothing brands came to him to endorse and shoot advertisements. At that time...... At that time......"
As she spoke, Wenhui's eyes were a little wet. Moistened.
"Ah Hui," Sun Yun shouted softly, took out a handkerchief and handed it over.
Seeing that the situation was a little delicate, Ye Zi coughed, and said with a secret smile in his heart: "Sister Hui, I have a hunch that the teacher's comeback this time will definitely be very successful, and you will be even busier when the time comes." Sister Hui, I can tell you in advance, can you leave me alone. ”
Sun Yun smiled silently, and when Ye Zi interrupted him like this, Tai Wenhui's emotions also dissipated a lot. Glancing at Ye Zi, Tantai Wenhui laughed softly: "You little villain, when did Sister Hui say that she was going to leave you behind?" Even if I wanted to leave you, Ah Yun and Sir would not agree. ”
"By the way, Xiaoyezi, you really ...... Good hunch? ”
Like Cai Qingde, Wenhui is not completely at ease with Sun Yun's state.
"Of course!" Ye Zi nodded happily and smiled: "Sister Hui, just wait and see, the teacher's state today will definitely surprise them!" I'll help the teacher record all this. ”
Ye Zi's tone was extremely affirmative.
"Really?"
"Well, Sister Hui, don't worry."
Tantai Wenhui turned his head to look at Sun Yun, Sun Yun was still smiling faintly, and nodded slightly.
……
Can Sun Yun's performance state be completely restored?
Ye Zi was convinced; Tantai Wenhui believes that it is impossible for Ye Zi and Sun Yun to deceive themselves; Although Cai Qingde hesitated slightly, he could also believe it; Concertmaster Meng Lai would never believe this. At this time, he was sitting in his exclusive lounge, changing into his formal performance costume in front of the mirror.
Because of the visit of so many media, according to Cai Qingde's request, all members of the rehearsal this afternoon must be dressed in attire. At the mention of this request, a tense atmosphere before the battle immediately spread among the whole regiment.
But Meng Lai was not nervous at all, he was even so happy that he wanted to laugh. After Sun Yun proudly agreed to Yi Feng's "little request" in person yesterday, Meng Lai felt that his opportunity had really come. As long as Sun Yun does not perform at the level he should have during the rehearsal process this afternoon, even if his performance state does recover a little, the joint efforts of Meng Lai and Chairman Yi Feng can squeeze Sun Yun to take the initiative to cancel these two concerts.
In this way, Cai Qingde's prestige in the orchestra will be severely damaged, Yi Feng, the chairman, can get the benefits he needs, and Meng Lai, the orchestra principal, will also be able to override Cai Qingde, the artistic director, and truly control the business power of the orchestra, among the upper echelons of the orchestra. The thought that all this would be possible after this afternoon's rehearsal made Meng Lai tremble lightly with excitement.
As for Sun Yun's performance status, is it possible to recover completely within one night, right? The probability of such a thing happening is extremely small, anyway, Meng Lai believes that his eyes and ears have not lost their proper function, and he will never believe that such a "myth" will happen in front of his eyes.
Gently tying the white silk bow tie, Meng Lai carefully looked at himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. Seeing that it was close to three o'clock in the afternoon, Menley took his violin, a famous Stradivari piano worth a lot of money, pushed open the door with a relaxed and happy mood, and walked in the direction of the large rehearsal hall.
Today, what a beautiful day!
……
"Sir, time ...... Almost, right? Yi Feng raised his wrist and looked at his watch, smiled and whispered.
This afternoon, he, the chairman of the board of directors, also came to the orchestra residence early, waiting for the beginning of this "verification", in order to show his serious and cautious attitude, he also put on a suit and formal suit, and personally came to Cai Qingde's exclusive lounge to wait.
Cai Qingde has already changed into the costume of the performance and is ready for it.
Until now, he still doesn't have enough confidence in his heart, but ...... Time is slowly approaching the moment it begins.
"Well, it's almost time, so ...... Let's go. ”
"Sir, please first." Yi Feng said politely.
Cai Qingde didn't make a sound and opened. The door strode out. (To be continued.) )
