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 strict 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 it purely from the highest note of the song, sung 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, where will this note be better 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, it is not particularly difficult. The breath can go up with a hard stroke. 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, but also the duration of the singing must be maintained, and the vocalization, resonance, and position of the singing must also be correct.

This difficulty is increased in geometric multiples.

Touch the note and hold the note. These 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, it'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.

With such a wide range, you won't have any problem singing any of the trebles.

But here comes the problem again.

When Ye Zi encounters the current situation, there must be a mastermind behind the scenes. Whoever is the black hand will not care first. The question is, does the black hand know how wide Ye Zi's vocal range is?

Should know.

The black hand is planning this qiē with all his heart, and it is impossible not to understand 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 hope that the rising tone of the song will make the song more difficult overall. As a result, Ye Zi couldn't control his own singing freely.

The melody of a song is composed of many notes of different heights and lengths, not just high notes. The high notes can be sung perfectly. It 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. 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 E flat 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 best ability to play freely.

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

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.

From E flat to G key, it can also be said that the contestants temporarily raise the key to sing for the competitiveness of the competition, which is very common in competitions and will not arouse the suspicion of 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 it is said that the improvement of tonality is already a strict problem for singers to sing, then the hands and feet of the black hands in the sound have an even stricter impact on singers' singing.

And such hands and feet are extremely hidden.

The first is the microphone volume reduction.

Don't underestimate this little decrease in volume, for the contestants singing on stage, a slight change in the volume of the microphone will make the contestants' 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 a live band sings with accompaniment. Singers often want sound engineers to turn up the volume of their microphones, which is determined by the loud and enveloping nature of the live band's 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 processing will definitely make Ye Zi on the stage very, very uncomfortable.

You must know that singers can't hear their own singing clearly. It's hard to control your voice accurately.

The singer was already uncomfortable when the volume of the microphone was reduced, 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. When the amount of reverberation is reduced, the voice of the contestant becomes "dry", and the clarity of the voice is improved. The improved clarity is heard in the ears of the audience. It 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 of the reverb effect to polish the voice, the contestants will be able to sing more easily. But once the reverberation effect is reduced, the microphone sound will become very "dry", and the singer will need 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 after the reverberation is less. This kind of push effect is gone, and the singer can only sing the whole time. In such a situation, the singer's ventilation point will also change as a result, making the singer's singing more strenuous and more 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.

In the case of the same decrease in the volume of the microphone, this uncomfortable process is doubled.

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.

Now that Eddie, the sound engineer, has intervened, he has done things very well.

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 listening speakers, and can only find his voice from the large group of voices 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 listening speaker is to let the singer hear his voice clearly and better control his own 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 one's own singing clearly in such a mess of voices, and to accurately control one's own voice.

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 speaker, so that Ye Zi could not accurately 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......)
