Chapter Seventy-Three: Kang Jae-hee's First Recording
Men and women don't think about the word commitment the same way. Men attach more importance to the commitment of the same sex, but they will always ignore the commitment to the opposite sex. Women, on the other hand, are the opposite.
==========================
Kang Jae-hee came to Yu Yongzhen's studio with the expectations of several girls.
"Teacher, it's been decided, you see how February 28th is, and Saturday, there is enough time."
"Have you chosen a song?"
"Uh, it's chosen, ses senior's DreamscomeTrue......"
"This song?" Yu Yongzhen was also a little surprised.
"Yes, they think it's a good song." Kang Jae-hee was naturally surprised by his own teacher.
"Hehe, then let me see how you perform."
……
……
Time always slips quietly and inadvertently. (That's a familiar saying...... )
Kang Jae-hee spent a week assigning the lyrics. Well, 6 days of soy sauce, and the last day to divide the lyrics.
The lyrics were given to 5 girls on Friday night. It's nothing more than letting them know what to sing.
But the lyrics are really simple, the song is completely supported by that classic melody, plus the 3 girls of SES at that time used that slightly ethereal voice.
Well, Kang Jae-hee didn't change anything at all, well, and didn't have that idea to change it.
On Saturday, February 28, Kang Jae-hee set the time at 9 a.m. But he himself arrived at the company a little after 8 o'clock. Although he already knows all about those recording equipment. However, understanding, even if it is familiar, does not mean that it can be used flexibly at that time.
In order to avoid making a fool of himself, he rushed over in advance......
Where Yu Yongzhen was already sitting, he looked at his disciple, who was almost never nervous, with some amusement, gesturing in front of the operation group in a little panic, muttering something.
"You don't need to be so nervous, even if you have good singing skills and a lot of experience, it is impossible to succeed at the first time, so even if you make a mistake in something, then only you know, understand?"
"What the teacher means is that you have made mistakes too...... Is it? "I wanted to say that I had made mistakes many times, but it looked like I would be beaten up if I said that...... Only then did his tongue turn and he stopped.
"Of course, everyone will have mistakes, just find a reason, there is something wrong with the equipment, the recording effect is not very good, you are a recording studio, at that time, no matter how big the singer is, you have to listen to you." At this moment, Yu Yongzhen embodied the courage of being a top musician.
'Who is bigger than you in the company?' I seem to have heard that many recording engineers in other companies are just an ornament, and most of them still have to listen to singers. 'There are some things that you can just listen to, just listen to them......
Although it was said that it was 9 o'clock, the girls also arrived at the office around 8:30.
It's not that I'm nervous about that. Although it was caused by Kang Jae-hee's joke, the company's music director Yu Yong-jin is now there. That wouldn't be an ordinary joke recording.
Yu Yongzhen's weight is no longer something that can be described by status. As long as he says a word, this person can make his debut, and as long as it is not too bad after the company's inspection, he can arrange that person to make his debut, and no matter how much he loses, he can't lose much.
Even if it is m. I.L.K. was hidden when he released an album, which was at most a failure of the company's planning and promotion, but it did not lose much, and the background of the s.m company made people who debuted in this company always get a higher degree of attention than other companies.
After a few little girls came in, they immediately greeted Yu Yongzhen politely, and then greeted Jiang Jae-hee.
No matter how much they usually fight, at this time, they will still be very polite.
But Kang Jae-hee was a little uncomfortable...... It's not that his EQ is really so low that he can't tell the occasion. It's just that in the face of these girls who have always had a special status in their hearts, they suddenly became polite and uncomfortable, coupled with this kind of politeness with distance. He didn't like the atmosphere very much.
"Ahem, you sit down for a while, and the recording will start later, I am fully responsible for today, and the teacher is only responsible for watching, and will not remind or correct it out loud. So, whether you can complete it smoothly depends on your performance. Kang Jae-hee sat in the position of recording engineer, and the instruments around him set off him with some majesty.
Naturally, a couple of girls didn't say much.
After entering the recording studio, Kang Jae-hee asked them to audition first.
But when they didn't speak, there was always a strange sound.
Jiang Jae-hee turned up the volume and signaled them not to speak, and after listening carefully, he said to them with a smile.
"You don't have to be too nervous, it's actually no different from singing normally, it's just that all the equipment here is better, so that your voice can be clearer, and nothing else. The teacher doesn't say anything when he sits here, don't you have the experience of performing in front of a lot of people, and you have to face the examiner when you first interview and choose. Take it easy. ”
I didn't know who it was, because I was too nervous, my heartbeat was loud, and in such a quiet environment, the slightest sound would be captured.
"Among you, Xiuying is the one who has already released a record, Xiuyan, you have also recorded some demos, Yuri and Yuna, although you have not recorded, but your character, hehe." At this, several girls laughed. Only Yoori and Yoona glared at Kang Jae-hee.
"It's not that your personality is bad, this cheerful personality is very good, so you pay a little attention when recording, I believe it's not too much of a problem. Although Xiaoxian is the youngest, she is the most stable. As long as you can overcome the nervousness, she may be the first of you to record. ”
Stopped a couple of girls from trying to say something.
"Let's try it the first time. I want to know your timbre and how you feel when you sing it. ”
Yuli: What I want is for you to have faith
Yuna: I want to tell all the secrets that have been hidden so far (Baby)
Xiaoxian: Funny_how_all_ (all) dreams_come_true
Xiaoxian: I want to keep it, even the very small love
Xiaoxian: Funny_how_I (all) feel_for_you
Xiaoxian: By your side, you have created a dream-like future for me
Xiuying: When love is just budding, the thrill is still mutual trustworthiness
Su-young: Mutual Thoughts (Baby)
Xiaoxian: Funny_how_all_ (all) dreams_come_true
Xiaoxian: I want to keep it, even the very small love
Xiaoxian: Funny_how_I (all) feel_for_you
Xiaoxian: I only love you
Su-yeon: come_on_lover
Su-yeon: We will always be together, and I will be happy
Su-yeon: I'll never listen to sad songs again, so I know my heart
Whole: Dreams_come_true
All: I will keep it, even the smallest love
Overall: Funny_how_Ifeel_for_you
All: By your side, you have created a dream-like future for me
There are not many lyrics, and the speed of the song is not fast, and several girls can sing it for the first time very smoothly.
After listening carefully, Jiang Jae-hee said to a few girls.
"You don't need to be able to imitate the voices of SES seniors, this song is interpreted by them like a dream of a vision of the future and love. So they sing very ethereal, giving people a dream-like feeling. But their singing skills and age allow them to perform like this. But you're still young. If you can press your throat to make yourself ethereal, there is some deliberate ingredient in it. Although this song is not a song to be released. But it's also the first song I've ever recorded. So maybe I'll be a little more demanding. I hope you don't mind. ”
He also ignored the girls' answers and continued.
"Let's analyze them one by one, Yu Li, you are the first to sing, the reason why I chose you is because your voice is magnetic enough, Xiuyan is responsible for the high note, and Xiuying is responsible for the second section that connects the previous and the next. Yoona and Xiaoxian are still young. So the first line of this song, you have to sing it. And it's most obvious when your voice is pressed down and sung. So from the second pass, you don't sing with your voice down anymore, use your original timbre. Otherwise, after the recording, I'm afraid that Xiaoyuan won't be able to hear your voice. ”
Among the girls, in fact, the most nervous is Kwon Yoo-li, and the first person to sing is under the greatest pressure. And she is more dance training than vocal training. Although Kang Jae-hee wanted to remind her of the parts that needed attention, he didn't want her to be out of shape because of pressure again, so he made a joke in the end.
"Yuna, you don't have to follow Yooli's timbre to imitate, just use your original voice." Solve Yooli's problem, and Yuna's problem will naturally be solved.
"Xiaoxian, Xiuying and Xiuyan's parts are all good. It's still the same sentence, don't be too nervous, Xiuyan I won't say it, my singing skills are actually better than mine, Xiaoxian's true colors are also very good, Xiuying, you make your voice softer, if you can, don't use your voice, it will be better to use your guttural voice. Cui Xiuying's voice is a little sharp, and it's too late to teach her chest pronunciation now, she can still do simple guttural sounds.
This song is actually not too difficult, except for Zheng Xiuyan's high note that is a little tired, the other parts are actually simple, compared to some songs after the debut of these girls, the difficulty is much lower and much simpler.
Even so, the song was recorded 5 or 6 times before and after to satisfy Kang Jae-hee.
Although there is a pop filter, if the breath is too loud, there will still be some noise. Plus Yu Li's first sentence. Su-yeon's treble part also played out of order once, and the sound broke once.
But it was smooth, and Jiang Jae-hee was already satisfied with it for the 6th time. However, he decided to let the girls rest for a while and do it one last time.
Some dreamy prelude sounded. The girls swayed their bodies to the rhythm of the music.
Outside the glass, Kang Jae-hee contrasted with the music and raised his fingers, 3, 2, 1!
Yuli: "What I want is for you to have faith."
It's a perfect beginning, and Yuli's voice is actually very distinctive. The voice she sings after she relaxes actually fits the song very well.
Yoona: "I want to tell all the secrets I've hidden so far (Baby)."
With Yoo-li's beginning, Yoona is also going well.
Xiaoxian:
『Funny_how_all_dreams_come_true
I will keep it, even the smallest love
Funny_how_Ifeel_for_you
By your side, the future of me that I have created is like a dream."
The most important second part of the chorus part was handed over to Zheng Xiuyan, who has a highly recognizable voice. Without this bass voice, dreams are too ethereal. As soon as the bass part comes out, the dream becomes thick and unreal.
Su-young:
"When love is just budding, the thrill is still mutual trustworthiness
We have a common idea (Baby)'
Cui Xiuying actually doesn't need to say much, her experience in Japan allows her to control these with ease.
Xiaoxian:
『Funny_how_all_dreams_come_true
I will keep it, even the smallest love
Funny_how_Ifeel_for_you
Only love you'
It's still Xiaoxian's solo, Suyan's second voice and the chorus of the whole group. It's all played very well.
The accompaniment of the prelude to the dream tale sounded.
Su-yeon:
『come_on_lover
We will both be together forever and I will be happy
I'll never listen to sad songs again, and I know my heart."
The most important part, the high notes of the whole song, the positioning of the song, are all in this part. For the certainty of love, longing. With that last treble coming out, it was completely sublimated. Zheng Xiuyan's timbre is very recognizable, and this timbre is also very consistent with this song. Compared to Kim Tae-yeon's stable and heavy treble like a mountain, Jung so-yeon's treble is like a cloud, soft and invisible.
When the rap sounded, Kang Jae-hee lowered Mai's volume and raised his thumb to signal to the girls. He himself made a few RaP-specific gestures along with this passage. Sometimes the recording engineer also needs to guide the singer's emotions.
Towards the end, Kang Jae-hee opened the microphone. And the final chorus also sounded.
Ensemble:
『Dreams_come_true
I will keep it, even the smallest love
Funny_how_Ifeel_for_you
By your side, I have created a dream-like future for me."
The music of the intro sounded again. Kang Jae-hee turned off Mai and stood up to applaud the girls.
The last note fell, and Kang Jae-hee pressed the end button.
Several girls suppressed their excitement and bowed to Yu Yongzhen and Kang Jae-hee respectively.
"That's it for today, I'll listen to it again and see if there's anything that needs to be changed, and I'll hand over the cD to you in two days. Although it was said that today was relatively smooth, you have also sung it several times, and now you are probably tired, so let's go and rest first. ”
Kang Jae-hee said to them.
Several girls walked out one by one.
Kang Jae-hee looked at his teacher.
"To be honest, I'm a little disappointed with the recording." Yu Yongzhen waited for a while before he said slowly.
"Is it because I just made a simple recording?" Kang Jae-hee probably knows the reason.
"It seems that you know, of course, if you are a recording engineer, then you are naturally qualified, for the operation of the equipment, as well as for the guidance of singers, including emotional guidance, it is very good." After a pause, Yu Yongzhen continued.
"It's just that what I want to see is not a qualified recording engineer, what I want to see is a producer with his own independent ideas. Recording and recording means recording and producing. ”
"I know what you mean, teacher, it's just that after they chose this song, I knew that I could only simply record this time......" Kang Jae-hee still roughly explained the reason.
"Of course I know you're for this reason. So I'm saying that I'm a little disappointed this time, not that I'm disappointed in you as a person. ”
Yu Yongzhen stood up. Walk over to the recording booth. Opened the song.
"After you chose this song, I thought you would see a broken and broken song, but I didn't expect you to change it at all. If you make a mistake, I will agree with your courage and boldness, but I will feel that you are not suitable for arrangement. You haven't changed at all, but in a way you can say that you do have a spirituality for music that others don't have. ”
A song is played quickly. Yu Yongzhen stood for a long time.
"Let's do it for today. You can take the copy back first, and the cD won't need to be burned with me. ”
"Of course, this little thing still needs to occupy your recording studio, teacher." Jiang Jae-hee was also relieved when he saw the teacher let him go.
Not only does he not change it, but on the other hand, he doesn't want to send the fragmented songs that he made to Kim Hyo-yeon. And this is another meaning, even if he says it to Yu Yongzhen, it is estimated that he will not understand why Jiang Jae-hee values these girls so much......
In any case, he finally completed the incident that he unintentionally led to with a word.
Kang Jae-hee walked out of the recording engineer and stretched.
=====================
Hey, anyway, this pit is finally over.
I write about it uncomfortable, and I guess people who read it will also be uncomfortable......
The next chapter resumes the previous rhythm.
Today's Xiaoyuan's birthday, may the dance queen always be full of energy and enthusiasm.
