136か【Recording】
Formerly popular record company, it is now a recording studio.
"This time to record your album, the company will do its best to achieve excellence, the top music team, the top recording studio, the top recording engineer, all the top configuration." Music director Guan Wei stood in the recording studio and said to himself.
In line with the attitude of excellence, Win Sick has directly allocated 500,000 Hong Kong dollars from other channels to buy some music equipment, and strive to be the best and most perfect.
But Leslie Cheung, a kid, is a young man after all, as soon as he entered the recording venue, he saw all kinds of equipment that he had dreamed of, and that greedy look, a discerning person could guess at a glance.
"Sister Xiaofeng, you see this is Zheng Shaoqiu's album," Leslie Cheung pointed to a vinyl record on a display shelf in the corner, with Zheng Shaoqiu's cover pasted on it, shouting to attract everyone's attention.
What he pointed to in his hand was the 1971 popular record that released Zheng Shaoqiu's first solo album "Lover is Married", which responded very well at the time, and also started Qiu Guan's singing road.
Looking at Leslie Cheung's youthful face, Guan Wei was a little speechless, he didn't know that the young man he found from the boss really couldn't see anything other than a little bit of beauty.
Guan Wei, who wanted to stop talking, opened his mouth and didn't say it after all, at this time, it's better not to hit the boss's enthusiasm, so as not to be scolded, although he is not afraid, but it is not worth it for a newcomer, isn't it.
As long as you hit the wall, you will know, Guan Wei thought.
followed Xu Xiaofeng to look around, Weng Meiling, who was a ghost horse elf, hugged the little pig and snorted: "What are you shouting, what's the big deal, my sister Xiaofeng has also released a record." Xiangjiang, Duwan, Southeast Asia, all have her records!. ”
"Forehead ......" Leslie Cheung was choked by her, and he was also dumbfounded. But isn't it, playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong is not looking for. Xu Xiaofeng, Sister Xiaofeng is not in the best of luck in Xiangjiang at present, but she is not bad, how can she have a place in the entire music world, and she has released a lot of records.
Xu Xiaofeng smiled happily, stood between the two and didn't speak, and only talked to them. She couldn't be more familiar with this recording studio. The place to eat and work is not new to her.
However, hearing Leslie Cheung's shouting attracted Ying Sick.
Vinyl was the dominant music format in the 20th century. From your 78-year-old grandmother to your 45-year-old celibate, vinyl is perfect for all ages because it feels more auditory and affordable. Vinyl, also known as LP and Longplay, is a stereo black celluloid texture dense record.
Although he has been famous for a long time, it is the first time that he has come into contact with this kind of old era album. Although it can still be seen in the 21st century.
Why play old stuff in the digital age? Mainly because that ethereal inspiration and sense of presence are something that can't be replaced by CDs nowadays. If you've ever listened to LP, you'll be intolerant of the high-pitched, rough digital sound of CDs today. Modern CDs have developed a wide range of circuits and recording modes in order to minimize digital sound, but they still can't compete with LPs. The equipment that plays LP is called Turntable, and it generally does not come with a power amplifier. It's just the output of the pre-stage, and the pickup mode is about moving. For the cartridge of moving coil and moving iron, the moving iron + linear tracking cartridge tonearm is the best.
Regardless of the various technical parameters, among the various music recording materials -- records, tapes, and CDs -- that have developed so far, the sound quality of SP is the closest to the original sound, which is the realm pursued by music lovers. Most of the works by heavyweights, conductors, big bands and singers were released for the first time on vinyl. SP has a long lifespan as long as it is stored properly. XXI century. Vinyl records are rare items, especially the famous plates of this era, which are even more treasures, and in Guangzhou's Tao Street, there are thousands of collector's editions.
Win the disease is not a collector maniac. I still want to taste the nostalgia brought by the heaviness and elegance.
Guan Wei took a large album that was not recorded and handed over to win the disease, and said: "Boss, this is our exclusive front page."
33 and a third of the revolution: LP dense records, each side can record about 6 songs, that is to say, a large album can record up to 12 songs.
Admittedly, the front page must be the best in terms of the amount of information, and it is very easy to distinguish with confirmation marks. However, some companies have improved with new technology, and in the version after the front page, the signal-to-noise ratio has been increased, and there is less "popping sound", which is more pleasant to the ear in terms of appreciation.
"The sword is given to the strong, and the beauty is given to the beauty." The best recording on the front page is of course best supported by the most powerful device. Without such a machine, it's hard to say that all the details and all the styles of your front-page record can be displayed one by one. If it is an ordinary machine, it is possible that the effect of the front page and the 2nd and 3rd versions is similar, and even the effect of others using the good machine to broadcast the reprint is better than the front page you play. Therefore, while pursuing music enjoyment, you should consider whether to invest in quality or quantity. It should also be considered that the balance between software and hardware, because the hardware device that is one level more expensive is usually only a little better than the lower one.
Looking at the top equipment in Xiangjiang in this room, he said proudly: "Since we have come, let's start recording songs!"
After a deep groan, Guan Wei continued: "Boss, you see if this will work, let's start recording today, first select one of the ten songs in the album to record a single, and put it on the market first The company cooperates with the early publicity work, and when the preliminary publicity work is almost done, the album should also be made, so that you can save a lot of publicity time, and you can also see the reaction of the market first." ”
This method is commonly used by record companies in later generations, and Gu Chen has no reason to oppose it. Then it was Guan Wei who took the initiative to mention another matter, you must know that three of the twelve songs on the album are songs sung by men and women, as the creator and singer of the songs, and he is also his own boss, Guan Wei can't help but ask his opinion.
According to his meaning, he wants to find one or two newcomers to be promoted by the company as the female lead singer, so the advantage is that the female singer will inevitably become popular after the release of the record with the popularity of Ying Zhi.
There is only good and no harm to the company, because of contract problems, the singer will belong to the company within a few years after signing the contract.
This problem was thought about when he came up with the three songs "Pieces of Maple Leaf Love", "Who Knows the Prodigal Heart", and "Goodbye is also a Friend".
