PS: Thank you for the generous gift of the two monthly passes of "halei001", thank you for the high note!! Take a bow!!! Thanks again!!

Some people may ask, just a few questions about tonality and microphone can make a strong singer have no way to fall into a desperate situation? That's a bit of an exaggeration, right?

The answer, absolutely yes, and not an exaggeration at all. The current situation that Ye Zi is facing will only be more severe than everyone imagined.

So before moving on to the following plot, it is necessary for us to understand how serious these problems Ye Zi is encountering now are that the author wants to use words like "desperate situation" to describe them.

Let's start with tonality.

The singing tone of "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" has been improved from the original E-flat to G key, and the span between them is a major third.

If you look at the highest note of the song purely from the top note, singing in the original key of E flat, the highest note is the g of the second group of small characters. And after ascending a major third, the highest note of the song must be sung to the B of the second group of small characters.

B of the small print group two? It's a strange name, but what kind of sound is it?

This is a note in the concept of fixed pitch, which belongs to the upper end of the tenor's vocal range.

This sound, very high, very high!

In this way, you may not have any idea, but use the familiar treble C to illustrate.

The well-known treble C is the C of the three groups of small characters. Compared to the treble C, the b of this small word group is only half a degree lower. You can imagine that with only half a degree of difference, how much better will this note be sung than the treble C?

Moreover, this is a holding note, and the voice must be at least three and a half beats longer than the B note of the second group of small characters, and it cannot be sung in falsetto.

For male singers who sing pop songs, if they just want to touch this sound, although it is not easy and the difficulty is not particularly great, the breath can go up with a hard ding. If you sing it in falsetto, it's hardly difficult. It's really not good, and it's okay to shout it.

However, if the note needs to be extended, not only should the breath be completely raised when singing. It is also necessary to hold on to a period of time, and at the same time, the vocalization, resonance, and position of the singing must be correct.

This difficulty is increased in geometric multiples.

Touching this note and holding on to it are two completely different concepts. The higher the pitch sung, the harder it is to hold the note.

But if it's just a matter of treble. That's just a minor issue. Whether it is touching or holding the tone, Ye Zi will not have any difficulty.

With Ye Zi's current strength, the span of the vocal range has already exceeded two octaves, and if you count falsetto, three octaves are no problem.

Such a vocal range width. You won't have any problem singing any of the high notes.

But here comes the problem again.

When Ye Zi encounters the current situation, there must be a mastermind behind the scenes. Who is the black hand doesn't care first, the question is whether the black hand knows how wide Ye Zi's vocal range is?

Should know.

The black hand is planning all this, it is impossible not to know Ye Zi's strength, at most, he does not understand it thoroughly. However, "the B of the second group of small characters can't stop Ye Zi", the black hand knows 100%.

In that case, what's the point of raising the key of the song? The treble can't stump Ye Zi, isn't this a useless effort?

Far from it.

The purpose of the black hand is to make the song more difficult as a whole through the rising tone of the song. As a result, Ye Zi couldn't control his singing freely.

The melody of a song is composed of many notes of different heights and lengths, not just high notes. Just because the high notes can be sung perfectly doesn't mean that the other lower notes can be sung perfectly.

Singers have a principle to determine the tonality of a song, that is, to consider the whole song as a whole, whether it is high or low tones, it is most conducive to their own singing performance, not the higher the singing, the better.

This tonality is not absolutely fixed, it can fluctuate up and down, but generally not more than a major second. If it is exceeded, the singer's singing will be affected. The more you exceed, the greater the impact.

The song "Legend of the Hungry Wolf". Ye Zi has been determined to be in E-flat key from the semi-finals to the finals, which shows that Ye Zi thinks that this key is the most suitable to sing this song, and it is also Ye Zi's ability to play the most.

Ye Zi thinks that the most suitable one must be what the black hand wants to destroy. Considering Ye Zi's strength. The second degree is not necessarily safe, so simply raise it a little more and directly get a third degree out.

This increase is also the limit.

The judges are by no means fools, and the supervision team and the organizing committee have confirmed that they are not decorations, so these tricks and feet done by the black hands must also stand up to scrutiny.

Rise from E flat to G key. It can also be said that the contestants temporarily raise their tunes to compete in the competition, which is very common in competitions and will not arouse suspicion from others. But after a certain limit, it doesn't work, because no player chooses to do it.

The players are not stupid!

Lowering the key is also a good way to make it impossible for the contestants to sing. But for a specific player, of course, it is Ye Zi now, and it is impossible to reduce the difficulty of singing in the finals.

Therefore, the choice of the black hand can only be an ascending tone, which is reasonable.

The rise of the third degree is absolutely enough in the eyes of the black hand. Even if Ye Zi can still sing under such a tonality, the processing of the song will definitely be affected.

In this way, the purpose of the black hand has been achieved.

If the tonal improvement is already a serious problem for singers, then the hands and feet of the black hand in terms of sound have a more serious impact on singers' singing.

And such hands and feet are extremely hidden.

The first is the microphone volume reduction.

Don't underestimate the slightest decrease in volume, for the players who sing on stage, the slightest change in the volume of the microphone will make the players' singing more difficult to control.

The first consequence of the volume reduction is that the contestants will not be able to hear themselves clearly, because the volume of the band has always been maintained at the same level.

As mentioned earlier, when singing with live band accompaniment, singers often want the sound engineer to increase the volume of their microphones, which is determined by the large volume and strong sense of enveloping of the live band accompaniment.

Now, the sound engineer pulls down the volume of Ye Zi's microphone a little, not a lot. One-fifth to one-quarter is enough, and this kind of treatment will definitely make Ye Zi on the stage very, very uncomfortable.

You must know that it is difficult for singers to accurately control their voices when they can't hear their singing clearly.

After the microphone volume is reduced, the singer is already very uncomfortable, but on the other hand. The audience couldn't hear it.

This is because, in the first place, the volume reduction is not large. In the midst of the loud roar of a live band, it is difficult for an untrained ear to discern the slightest change in the volume of the microphone. Second, the sound engineer lowered the volume of the microphone while reducing the amount of reverberation a lot. After the amount of reverberation is reduced. The voice of the contestant becomes "dry", so the clarity of the voice is improved. The increase in clarity is heard in the ears of the audience, which is equivalent to a slight increase in volume.

In this way, one in and one out, in the ears of the audience, the volume of Ye Zi's microphone is almost not much different from the players in front of him. The only difference is what Huang Zhan said just now, "It sounds like there is a little less reverberation".

Is it just a little less reverberation?

Yes, that's it for the audience in the audience, it's not a big deal. And in this case, the player's voice sounds clearer, and it is a little better for the audience.

But for the players on stage. When the amount of reverberation decreases, it becomes even more uncomfortable to sing.

In the case of normal reverberation, because there is a reverb effect to polish the voice, the contestants will sing more easily. But once the reverberation effect is reduced, the microphone sound becomes very "dry", and the singer needs additional control to sing.

For example, in the case of normal reverberation, after the phrase is sung, the singer can prepare for the next sentence in advance, and the reverberation effect of the insufficient time will push the sound over to make up for it. But when there is less reverberation, this push effect is gone, and the singer can only sing the whole time. In such a situation. As a result, the singer's ventilation point will also change, making the singer's singing more strenuous and difficult to control.

This is just one example, there are many other aspects that make the singer uncomfortable. Once the reverberation is reduced. This kind of "dry" microphone sound is difficult for players in this era to adapt to for a while.

This is doubly uncomfortable when the microphone volume is also reduced.

Ye Zi is now facing such a situation. But the question is, is this the end?

No, not yet!

During the competition, you have to work on the sound system, and it is absolutely impossible without the participation of the sound engineer.

Sound engineer Eddie has now intervened. He did it perfectly.

The reduction in the volume of the microphones, combined with the reduction in reverberation, was enough to make any contestant perform abnormally, but Andy did a third insurance, turning off all the monitors on stage.

In this way, Ye Zi will not be able to hear his own singing directly from the monitors, and can only find his voice from the large clusters of sound emitted by the speaker clusters on both sides, and his ability to control the voice will definitely be weakened again.

The monitor speaker is facing the singer to make a sound, which is a direct sound, and the sound is very clear. The purpose of the existence of the monitor speaker is to allow the singer to hear his voice clearly and have more control over his singing. The position of the speaker cluster is on both sides of the stage, and the players and the speaker cluster are basically in a parallel or even backward state. The sound of the loudspeaker cluster comes from both sides of the contestants, through the reflection of the building wall and the absorption of the audience, the sound will be light and mixed, and it will sound strong and muddy on the stage.

It is conceivable how difficult it is to hear your own singing clearly and control your voice accurately in such a mess of voices.

It can be seen from the monitor speaker that Eddie, the sound engineer, knows a lot about the singer's singing.

Eddie knew that the first two methods could still be solved by Ye Zi. But turning off the listening speaker, so that Ye Zi can't hear the details of his singing, this is what makes Ye Zi the most uncomfortable.

Eddie doesn't make a move, once he does, it's really steady, accurate and ruthless!

At this point, the black hand's tricks were completely presented in front of Ye Zi.

The singing tonality of the song was raised, so that even if Ye Zi could sing, he could not process the song in the most appropriate key.

The volume of the microphone and the size of the reverberation were reduced, so that Ye Zi's singing was carried out in extremely uncomfortable conditions, and the audience could not detect it.

turned off the listening speakers, so that Ye Zi could not precisely control his singing.

This kind of situation is uncompromising for any contestant (singer) who is on stage and is about to sing.

Desperate! (To be continued.) )
