72_72291 Neil's expression was very subtle, it could not be said to be a disaster, nor could it be said to be joyful, I saw him frowning slightly, but with an elusive smile on the corner of his mouth, he stood in place and quietly listened to the track he had just recorded.

The other four members of the band all stood by, looking at Neil with a curious expression, trying to get some answers, but to no avail. The alley was bustling again, everyone was gradually dispersed, the children began to throw rugby again, and the middle-aged black woman upstairs shouted, "Handsome sweetheart, if you need our help, just shout, we have always been here." ”

The other residents laughed out loud, and Hugo laughed too, waved at the friendly woman, and watched her leave the fire escape and re-enter the room.

Looking back, Hugo saw that Neil had taken off the earbuds, but Neil did not express his opinion immediately, but handed the headset to Fokin, obviously, Neil did not want his opinion to affect the perception of his teammates, so he crossed his hands in front of his chest alone, and his face was quiet with a pensive face.

After Alfonso and Pedro had finished listening, the headset reached Hugo's hand, and Hugo put it on and listened carefully.

The prelude to the song is a sound of engines from far and near, which is also mixed with some low sounds of life, this sound is absolutely made by the computer in the recording studio, the most original breath of life, but the music of the headset fills the whole brain, actually creating a kind of grandeur and magnificence of standing on the highest peak of Yellowstone Park overlooking the earth, and in an instant Hugo felt that he had become incomparably small, as if the whole line of sight had risen to the universe, and he was just a speck of dust in the universe.

It's hard to put into words this mysterious feeling, but there is no doubt that it is a positive feeling.

Immediately after that, Hugo's voice cut in the form of a cappella, "Young Volcano. voloes)" is a typical surging song, and unlike the soul-making surging of "sail", this surging is more direct, turning the whole scene upside down and getting everyone to join in the carnival. But since this is an outdoor recording, and the "audience" is more than a dozen people, not to mention the huge pomp and circumstance of the new album launch of "Bathing in the Morning Light", even the scale of the street performance that is glorious to death is not comparable at all. Therefore, Hugo chose to cut in with a cappella.

Sure enough, the effect is very good, there is obviously a melodious echo effect when singing, it actually creates a special feeling of recording in the studio, the whole texture is excellent, far beyond expectations, especially the trivial sounds in the background sound, so that the thin applause becomes substantial, so that when Fujin's drum beat cuts in, the momentum of the song is radiant in an instant, so that the melody bursts out with infinite charm, different from the noisy and noisy concert scene, the beauty of the sound quality makes people completely jaw-dropping, It's almost unbelievable that it was recorded in a broken alley.

Hugo finally understood why Neil had such an elusive expression, not only because he couldn't believe that he could record such a brilliant effect after leaving the studio, but also because the noise they feared the most not only did not destroy the melody, but was carefully designed by them to become the most important catalyst for the background sound of the melody, making the song burst into more beautiful colors.

In fact, this is the quality of a rock band, and it is also a quality of glory to death. Almost every rock band is made on the streets, and every year the rock festival erupts in the noise, bursts in the noise, and even more so in glory to death. When standing on the stage, standing on the street, walking on the road, the frenzy of glory to death will merge with the environment and burst out with endless charm.

Almost every memorable moment of glory to death is a live performance, a road tour, a 42 stage, a Grammy live broadcast accident...... Because they were born to belong to the stage, they would rather stand and die on the stage, and chase the only remaining trace of rock and roll under the light, and it is this willpower that makes the glory to death burst out with a light that other rock bands can't achieve.

Hugo is most satisfied with the third part, the children's immature singing joins it, as well as the selfless singing of the surrounding residents, so that the whole song becomes vibrant, this is the enthusiasm that belongs to everyone's body is proudly blooming, regardless of age, gender, experience, and years, even if there is only a residual enthusiasm in the depths of the heart, it is like an epiphany at this moment, blooming the most dazzling moment.

What is certain is that this is not a live version of the concert, as it is much quieter than the concert; This is not the studio version, because it is much more lively than the studio, this is the version that belongs to the back streets of Denver, the unique version born in this alley full of life, even if it is glorious to death, it is estimated that it is difficult to reproduce the version.

Hugo took off the headset, raised an eyebrow, looked at his teammates, and asked their opinions with his eyes, everyone looked at each other, and seemed to be a little cautious, after all, this experience was the first for anyone. In the end, it was Neil who took the initiative to speak, "I love it, no, to be precise, I fell in love with this version." ”

Neil's expression was still elusive, and this time he explained his doubts, "It's hard for me to say what it feels like, in the intro, the noise of the strong atmosphere of life is very obvious, I thought it would be a failure, but when the Forkine drum beat cut in, it actually collided with incredible sparks, which became my favorite part of the whole song." The sound of Hugo's cappella singing through the cacophony of alleys felt like ...... It's like soaring through the sky. I don't know if it's accurate, but anyway, I love it, I really love it. ”

That kind of miraculous feeling has made Neil unable to come back to his senses, different from the feeling when Hugo created the new album at the "Bathing in the Morning Light" new album conference, today's version has a deep aftertaste, with an indescribable sinking and madness.

Alfonso shook his head, "No, I think the biggest success of this version is the addition of the children, whose immature and energetic voices are the best interpretation of the theme of the whole song." But in the middle chorus, the noise is a little too loud, I'm not sure where, it seems that someone is complaining about our noise because of our noise, which is detrimental to the sound quality. ”

"But you can't deny that those noises make the whole scene more realistic, especially the sound of cars passing by from time to time, which is also the biggest imprint of the whole song." Neil said as he looked at Alfonso, which made Alfonso hold his chin in thought, but didn't speak.

"Alfonso, I understand your thoughts, but you forgot a little bit, the reason why we were recording live was to be able to record these accidents, such as the engine sound at the opening, the quarrel during the chorus, including at least three mistakes when I heard the children beating the rhythm...... But none of that matters, it's these imperfections that make the song more perfect. ”

It was Pedro who spoke, leaving both Neil and Alfonso in their eyes. It's simply impossible to record outdoors and achieve studio-like perfection, so the measurement angle needs to be different.

"Pepe is rare to be smart." Fogin said aloud, making Pedro look depressed for a moment, but Fokine didn't care, and continued, "I agree with Neil and Alfonso that the flaws are still relatively obvious, but this belongs to glory to death." ”

Fokine's assessment is very simple, but very clear, which also shows his attitude. In the end, everyone looked to Hugo, and although Neil, Alfonso and Fokine were in charge of the recording, Hugo was the real one at the helm, and only Hugo was the soul of the whole band.

"To be honest, I'm not very happy with my performance." Hugo said honestly, not nitpicking, but seeking truth from facts, "This song is very grandiose, I still haven't completely adjusted the breath in terms of pronunciation, there is no enthusiasm of the scene, but there is no finesse of the recording studio, which makes the whole momentum still a little weaker." Speaking of this, Hugo frowned and shook his head, obviously a little disappointed in himself, but Hugo is striving for perfection with the requirements of a studio album, and the problem is naturally inevitable, "But I must admit that when I record outdoors, those trivial noises add a lot to the whole song; And Pepe is also right, just as every scene cannot be replicated, every performance cannot be perfect, since we are not in the studio, we naturally have to change the standard. ”

Hugo thought over the whole song for a moment, and finally nodded, "So...... I agree with Neil, I love this version, including my uncontrolled breath. After saying that, Hugo himself laughed, which made his teammates breathe a sigh of relief, and everyone showed a similar smile.

"So?" Pedro said excitedly, already gearing up.

Then Alfonso also repeated, "So? Followed by Neil, and finally Fukin, "So?" ”

Hugo pursed his lips and nodded, "So, the 'Young Volcano' belonging to Denver is sure to be recorded, so where should we go next?" We went to Nebraska to record 'Long. long。 way。 to。 go)', how'? ”

"'The Long Way'?" Fokine thought for a moment, "Why don't you go to Highway 50 (ameri. highway。 50) What about recording, let's say Austin. ”

Highway 50 is known as the loneliest highway in the United States, because it is one of the most inhospitable highways in the United States, crossing the fast horse delivery area, sparsely populated, with many Indian tribes, and the famous Death Valley is also on this road, which is the most special highway, long, spectacular and magnificent.

"Great idea! Well, it's Route 50! Go, go, go! ”。
