Chapter 16 Recording of the album
At half past three o'clock in the afternoon, the location recording of the program was all over, and after the unremitting efforts of the two people, the task assigned by the program team finally came true - failed.
If you want to sell 30 pounds of apples twice the market price in an hour, this kind of task will fail for anyone, but it doesn't matter, entertainment programs want the effect of the program, as long as the audience likes to watch it, it makes little difference whether the task fails or not.
After returning to the TV station to make up the rest of the shots, today's work was completely completed, and after returning to the company, Zhang Yang went to the recording studio with Jin Li.
Due to the busy daytime announcement, the recording of the album has always been carried out in the evening, and when the two entered the house, the old wolf had just finished recording a song and was listening to the tape that had just been recorded in the control room.
"This time it's not bad, you pay attention to a few pitches, don't be too indulgent, press a little~"
"Squeak~"
Xu Ze and the old wolf were discussing the singing just now, while Gao Xiaosong and Shen Qing were busy debugging the equipment, and when they heard the sound of the door opening, everyone subconsciously looked over.
"Mr. Zhang~Jin Li~"
"Brother Yang~Jin Li~"
"Hello~"
greeted each other with a smile, and Zhang Yang walked to the mixer:
"How? Is the recording still going well? ”
"It's okay, it's just that the old wolf can't hold his throat~"
Xu Ze nodded, raised his chin towards the old wolf, and continued:
"The treble is too high, it's a little harsh~"
"Oh?"
The old wolf's voice is the highest among everyone, and he also prefers high notes, playing this hand at every turn, Zhang Yang also instructed, hoping that he can press a little, but judging from the current situation, the instructions are in vain.
Seeing that Zhang Yang moved his gaze to himself, the old wolf hurriedly explained:
"Brother Yang~ You also know that singing the high notes of "Dead Love" is enjoyable~ Besides, why should such a hearty song be pressed~"
“……”
Ignoring his explanation, Zhang Yang reached out and opened the player on the mixer, and immediately, the previously recorded tape began to play.
You have to love when you die~~~
Not dripping to the fullest, not happy~
In the stereo, the song was sung without warning, like a sharp sword piercing the eardrum in an instant, Zhang Yang only felt a buzz in his ears, and the hairs on his body blew up.
The song "Love When You Die" has no prelude, so the song sounded relatively suddenly, and the old wolf's open tone was quite high, Zhang Yang was really taken aback when he was defenseless.
Put it every day
Fall in love with each other as if it were the end of the world
Minute by minute
It's all so beautiful that tears fall
The old wolf's voice is very magnetic and very tense, even if he sings the bass, it will give people the illusion that he is ready to explode at any time.
"Okay, that's it~"
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Yang stretched out his hand to close the player, that kind of fried feeling experience was enough once, he didn't want to try it a second time.
"How? Let's enjoy it~"
"You're having a good time, but have you taken into account the feelings of the general public?"
The popular music style of this era is biased towards Sao Rou, and the games are all Sao Rou, that is, greasy and crooked confiding, it stands to reason that the audience of the album is the ordinary people, and the production should naturally be close to the taste of the public, and make some greasy songs. After the reform and opening up, the minds of the Chinese people have gradually opened up, and now young people are pursuing individuality, and trying some new styles may have unexpected effects.
"That's it, no need to record it anymore~"
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yang finally decided to include this song in the album, and at this point, all four songs of the old wolf have been recorded, and the rest is that Jin Li and him have not been recorded.
"Let's play~ I'll go back and rest~~"
After a busy day, the old wolf was also a little tired, so he got up and walked outside.
"Do you still call you for dinner at night?"
"No need, just help me bring it back~"
The old wolf is gone, the recording work is still continuing, in addition to Zhang Yang, Jin Li still has a song that has not been recorded, Xu Ze plans to finish her tonight, and record Zhang Yang's two songs tomorrow.
"Jin Li, you open your voice first, I'll adjust the equipment here, Xiao Song, Shen Qing, come and help~"
This time I want to record the song "Your Smile", this song has a light melody, which is more suitable for her voice, and Zhang Yang has also made appropriate simplifications of the song according to her musical style, eliminating some accents in the accompaniment and the strange tune in the prelude, so that the style of the whole song is closer to her voice.
"Jin Li~Jin Li~ Are you ready?"
After checking the recording equipment, Xu Ze took the microphone to confirm Jin Li's status, and received instructions from the headphones, Jin Li gave a thumbs up to indicate that he was ready.
"Okay, Komatsu, you can record it~"
After confirming each other's status, the four Zhang Yang in the control room put on monitoring headphones and began to record songs.
Zhang Yang's arrangement skills are good, this modified song sounds much more comfortable, Jin Li is also in a good state, the opening and rhythm are very accurate, and then a melodious singing voice sounded in the headphones.
Loved with my tone
Sing your taste
This second
There is a fermentation that feels sweet
The overall rhythm of this "Your Smile" is a little faster, which is a big challenge for Jin Li, who is used to singing slow songs, the rhythm of the main song part is relatively soothing, and Jin Li can still cope with it, but in the chorus part, as the rhythm accelerates, a short ventilation sound begins to appear in the headphones.
Ventilation is a headache for every singer, different from the small and shallow natural breathing in daily life, the amount of breath required when singing is much larger and deeper, if the ventilation method is not right or the timing of ventilation is not right, then there will be a rapid ventilation sound in the microphone when singing, which affects the overall auditory effect.
There is no problem with Jin Li's singing of the main song, but the ventilation of the chorus part is obviously unable to keep up with the consumption after the rhythm is accelerated, and the consequence of not having enough breath is that the singing is forced to be interrupted.
In the control room, several people listened carefully to the tape just recorded, and through the playback, Zhang Yang and Xu Ze found that Jin Li's ventilation time was not too problematic, and they were all stuck at the pause point of the rhythm, so the problem was not that the ventilation time was wrong, but that Jin Li's breathing method was wrong.
At present, the mainstream breathing method is divided into: chest breathing method, abdominal breathing method, mixed breathing method, each breathing method has its own characteristics and scope of application, Jin Li learned the chest breathing method, characterized by short and shallow inhalation, the voice is more floating, suitable for singing slow songs with short passages, like this kind of rhythm is faster, the song with a longer paragraph or the abdominal breathing method with a deeper inhalation is more applicable.
What horse with what saddle, when choosing the song, Zhang Yangguang only considered his personal style, but neglected some characteristics of the singer himself, which led to the failure of this recording.
