"Sister Mei, do you hear that?" Just this time, your singing state was a little off. ∈♀, a little more relaxed. Don't try too hard to deal with the feelings, and let the feelings flow slowly forward with the accompaniment. ”

"Sister Mei, please remember, this is not a song that needs explosiveness, I need to hear you maintain that inner tension when singing, not that superficial outburst."

"Sister Mei, think about it again."

After singing for the first time, let Sister Mei listen to the recording playback, Ye Zi picked up the intercom microphone and said softly.

"Brother Kun, the tape is poured to the beginning, and we have to start over."

Ah Kun nodded, and Ye Zi put down the microphone.

The recording of the song has begun, but as soon as it comes up, there is a problem.

"Big" question.

Sister Mei's singing skills are flawless, there are no problems with timbre, pitch, rhythm, vocalization, and breath operation, and she has the mature demeanor of an emperor superstar. But when it comes to singing processing, Sister Mei's singing is a little "excessive". Although the "passed" Cheng dù is not big, and it can be passed at first glance, Ye Zi wants to create a masterpiece for Sister Mei, he will definitely not tolerate such a problem, and it is inevitable to start again.

If it is placed on other singers, this "pass" is not a big problem. When supervising for them, they have to think more about the pitch, rhythm, and overall treatment of the song, as well as how to cover up the mistakes of the singing in the most reasonable way.

But for a singer of Sister Mei's level, this is a big problem.

So what is "over"?

A more accurate explanation is that the singing is exaggerated.

For example, the lyrics at the beginning are "I have a flower, planted in my heart, with buds waiting to be released", which is a declarative sentence. The first two lines of the melody are almost identical. There is only one note difference, and the third phrase goes up from the low to the middle and high registers and back to the middle range, which is also consistent with the characteristics of declarative statements.

Such lyrics and melodies, when singing, simply sing the melody, without deliberately increasing the tone and processing.

Sister Mei's singing of the first two sentences just now was very good, with a faint piano accompaniment. Sister Mei's voice came over very naturally, creating a sense of tranquility and distantness, which was very much in line with the atmosphere created by the violin during the prelude. But in the word "contain" at the beginning of the third sentence, Sister Mei used too obvious means of air and sound modification, which broke the previous artistic conception at once, which is not appropriate.

Does this place want to be angry?

Want.

Because the word "contain" is an opening sound, and the initial is h, it itself contains the air sound component in it, and the air sound must be added when singing. Sister Mei's singing just now. It is to deliberately amplify the air voice here, and her idea is to use this amplified air voice to form a soulful singing effect. There is nothing good or bad about this method in itself, but it must be used depending on the place. The third line of the song is incompatible with the quiet and distant atmosphere formed by the first two lines, but it destroys this atmosphere. That is to use it incorrectly, or to put it in the wrong place.

That's "over".

This is the result of deliberate processing. However, this place does not need Sister Mei to deliberately deal with it like this, and the effect of such deliberate processing sounds more exaggerated and unnatural, or a little "excessive".

It's just a small place. It's just an air sound technique. There are only four or five similar places after the whole song is sung, and I slip through without paying attention. Will it really make that big of an impact? Is Ye Zi too harsh? Would an emperor superstar like Sister Mei make a mistake even in such a small place?

Yes.

The emperor superstar is also human.

As long as you are human, you are bound to make mistakes.

For an emperor superstar like Sister Mei, it is almost impossible for them to make obvious singing mistakes, such as out of tune, such as inaccurate beat, such as not being able to find the feeling of singing, etc. But in these small places, small details, that I just said. They sometimes ignore the past if they are not paying attention.

It also has to do with the fact that they are emperors.

If this is a concert, there is no problem with this treatment at all, and the live performance just needs to be a little more exaggerated. But when it comes to recording, that's not going to work. Any bit of superfluous exaggeration will be "magnified" countless times after recording. Listen carefully. The unnatural feeling will ruin the whole song completely.

For a superstar like Sister Mei, it is easy to make a mistake by confusing the recording with the requirements of the concert. And what Ye Zi, the producer, has to do is actually very simple, which is to control such details for Sister Mei.

Pick out the details - these three words can basically summarize what Ye Zi is going to do tonight. As for the general direction of singing, it is impossible for Sister Mei to be mistaken.

In the recording room, Sister Mei patted her forehead lightly and laughed self-deprecatingly.

"I see, little leaf, you're right. You must help me listen carefully outside, it doesn't matter if I sing it a few more times. ”

Sister Mei's voice came through the guò monitor speakers.

"Okay, Sister Mei, you prepare again, and we'll start again when you're ready."

"Give me a few minutes."

In the recording room, Sister Mei took off her headphones and took a few deep breaths.

When she listened to the playback in the headphones just now, she felt that something was a little wrong, but she didn't find the point of the problem for a while. As soon as Ye Zi said this just now, Sister Mei immediately reacted.

That's right, it's just a little too hard, so the director used too many singing skills and invested too much emotional processing in some details, trying to make the whole song more explosive, which made the singing not sound so smooth and natural.

Maybe...... It's that I've been away from the music scene for too long this time, and I can't wait, right? Such a mood is put in the singing of the song, and the result is the current situation, using too much force.

Although it is just some small places and small details, it still shouldn't be.

Fortunately, Xiao Yezi's ears are still quite smart. It seems that I can be completely relieved about this recording, so I will listen to his command arrangement.

Sister Mei adjusted her mentality little by little.

……

"Brother Keny, Xiao Yezi is so fierce, Sister Mei also dares to deny it directly? Amazing, right? ”

On the sofa behind the control room, Chen Yichen leaned next to Ke Yufan's ear and whispered.

Ke Yufan said with a smile: "He is the producer today, and he is here to help Sister Mei make a new song, this is his responsibility, and he thinks there is a problem with Sister Mei's singing, so of course he has to say it." ”

"But I think Sister Mei sings very well, I don't think there's anything wrong." Chen Yichen muttered.

"That's that your vision is not enough. Sister Mei's singing just now is of course no problem if it is put on ordinary singers, but it is a little worse when it is put on Sister Mei, and it can't reach the height she should have. ”

"Later, if you listen to Sister Mei's singing again, it will definitely be different from just now, and it will definitely be better than this time."

NB small leaves learn to point. When you record the song tomorrow, ask him to help you pick the song carefully, and you can sing it as much as he tells you to, do you hear it? ”

Speaking of the back, Ke Yufan's tone became serious.

"Oh, I see, Brother Keny."

……

The music sounded again, and Sister Mei's singing was softly added in with the accompaniment.

In Chen Yichen's ears, Sister Mei's singing has undergone some extremely small changes, if it weren't for Ke Yufan's repeated telling him to listen carefully, he would probably not notice such a small change.

Such small changes make Sister Mei's singing sound naturally flowing down with the melody, like a quiet meandering river. The water flows slowly, without too many waves jumping, only a light breeze blowing through the disturbed water surface, sparkling waves.

As soon as it is qiē, it all seems so natural, so tranquil and tranquil.

Ye Zi just made a request, and Sister Mei completely fulfilled it this time.

"Does it sound good?" Ke Yufan asked quietly.

Chen Yichen nodded and did not speak.

……

"Sister Mei, this time is great, I have already asked Brother Kun to record it."

"But Sister Mei, can you try to control your timbre? Reduce the guttural sound a little bit, put the sound more in front of the mouth, and add a little nasal resonance to make the voice a little earlier and a little shallower. I think the other parts of your singing are perfect, but the timbre is still a little harder, and it will not be natural if you use post-processing. ”

"I hope this song can create a new image of a soft and quiet Mei Yanfang. Sister Mei, shall we try again? ”

"Brother Kun, start over again and record it with another track, which was reserved just now. Not...... You try to thicken the mid-frequency around 380hz a little more, and start to gradually close it a little above 2000hz, I hope Sister Mei's voice will go in a soft direction. ”

"Okay, let's do it again."

The accompaniment music sounded again from the beginning.
