72_72291 "What do you say****?" Forkin's voice interrupted Hugo's train of thought, and Hugo realized that he was so excited that he could say the thoughts in his mind directly, without deep thought or hesitation.

Hugo himself was frightened by this bold idea, and couldn't help but be stunned, but then an indescribable excitement jumped in his mind, like an electric current, which made Hugo's whole body tremble, "I mean, why are we finishing the production of the new album in the studio?" ”

Forge glared at Hugo incredulously, as if he were an idiot, "Because we need a table, a bunch of recording equipment, a really quiet soundproof room?" ”

Hugo opened his mouth, the thought boiling in his head, "a computer, a recording software and a dynamic microphone", but he was choked by himself, because he only now realized that he was in 1996, not 2014.

In the future of the complete development of electronic recording equipment, people can complete the recording work from anywhere, and a computer plus a recording software is enough to complete all the complex work in the recording studio. This has also led to countless cover singers on the Internet and successfully become popular, the most famous of which is Justin Bieber. The development of the Internet and electronic devices has made professional recording work simple, even for amateurs.

In 2014, the equipment in the studio will be divided into two categories: traditional equipment, which is cumbersome and cumbersome, but very delicate, and can preserve the characteristics of the singer's voice to the greatest extent; One is electronic equipment, which is easy to carry and easy to operate, and can simply and rudely complete many jobs that traditional equipment can't do.

But even if all amateurs can do the recording work in their own homes, why does the studio still have an irreplaceable position? There are many reasons for this, mainly because of the fineness and accuracy of traditional recording equipment, and also because of the consideration of sound insulation.

The fineness and accuracy of the recording equipment are very easy to understand, and the requirements for singers to sing in a traditional recording studio are very high, because the most essential things of the singer will be presented in the recording studio, and the slightest flaw will be magnified, and it is also convenient for people to correct it little by little. Although the electronic recording equipment is very advanced, the limitations are also relatively large, and it still requires a variety of equipment in the recording studio to complete, in the recording studio, even people with incomplete tones can also record the perfect audio track through the fine adjustment of the recording equipment.

The sound insulation effect is actually a further supplement to the recording process, because the ambient sound in the outside world is very complex, which not only increases the workload of recording, but also has a huge damage to the music itself and the singer's singing. To put it simply, recording at the airport, let alone recording, it is estimated that even the singer will not be able to hear anything singing. Not to mention recording outside, even if there is no noise, the sound quality can be terrible due to the myriad of noises.

In the future period of the development of electronic equipment, many people are recording in their own garage or basement, just hoping to achieve better sound insulation effect, but the echo generated in different spaces during recording will have an impression of the sound effect, and ultimately affect the quality of the recording master.

It can be said that Hugo's idea was incredible even in 2014 - it could be achieved with perfect equipment, but no one would do it. Not to mention that it's 1996, it's impossible to achieve, and no one is going to try to do it.

Therefore, in the face of Fokine's questioning, Hugo was directly stunned, he originally thought it was a wonderful idea, but found that it was not realized at all, which made Hugo very disappointed.

Forkine couldn't help but be even more surprised when he saw Hugo's undisguised disappointment, he thought Hugo was just joking, "Hugo, we're talking about the third official album, not a live album!" ”

In fact, there are also types of albums, aside from singles, EPs and the like, there is also a strict distinction between studio albums and live albums. When people think of "new albums", they basically refer to studio albums. The so-called live album is very easy to understand, it is an album recorded at the concert site and performance site, and this kind of album is to include the noisy sounds such as cheers and screams at the performance site, so that the listeners who buy the album can feel the heat wave of the performance scene on the day.

Although the sales of live albums are far less than those of studio albums, there are also many enthusiasts, because everyone knows that the atmosphere of the performance scene is the most incendiary, and the frenzy and exhilaration that studio albums do not have are enough to make every scene look different.

But even if it is a live album, there are requirements for the environment, and the space of the performance venue, the placement of recording equipment, the quality of the live sound, etc., will have an impact on the quality of the live album. What Hugo said, even when compared with live albums, is still quite different.

"Fokine, I know, of course I do." Hugo spread his hands, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was a little louder, as if disturbing the two people who were immersed in the music, and he had to turn away, and then he explained to Fokine, "Imagine every city, every highway, every street corner, every bridge...... It's all our performance stage, it's all our recording studio, we've always been on the road, our music is on the road, this kind of freedom, this kind of uninhibitedness, this casualness is in our musical blood, so why can't we integrate this temperament into our albums? ”

"So, where do you want to record?" Fokine and Hugo walked side by side, and he could clearly feel the excitement and passion exuded by Hugo at this time, the kind of surging that only belonged to the beginning of the establishment of glory to death, burning in sight like a raging flame, reminding Fokine of the song "sail" last night.

"Anywhere, anywhere." "We can even record a song in the Grand Canyon, and we can record each song in a different place, all over the North American continent, New York, Chicago, Miami, New Orleans...... We record all summer long, and let the flavor of summer enter our albums, and let the smell of major cities enter our music, as a dedication to ...... Uh, this crazy and chaotic land, this unbridled and uninhibited era. ”

Only then did Fokine really understand what Hugo meant, he was not going to record a live album, but a real "studio" album, except that this studio was not a recording studio in the traditional sense, but "anywhere, anywhere", a recording studio with a different distinct imprint, and each song would record the trivial features of that recording studio, making each performance a unique individual that could never be replicated.

As Hugo said, this is glory to death, this is glory to death, the carnival and indulgence on the road, the exhilariousness and arrogance that breaks the shackles without being eclectic, this is the real new metal rock - not to choose to be unique for the sake of being different, but because it is already a completely different and unique existence when it is born.

Fokine also felt the boiling in his blood, and the thrill of spreading his wings and soaring made his expression lighter, "Like, uh, under the Brooklyn Bridge in New York." ”

Or Chicago's Sears Building (willis. tower). "This is currently the tallest building in the world.

"Or a cruise ship on the Mississippi River." Fokine then said that this is the longest river in the United States.

"San Francisco's Chinatown, or Salt Lake City's Chapel Square." The two places mentioned by Hugo have distinct cultural characteristics, the former needless to say, and the latter belong to Mo. Door. Church of the Temple. "Otherwise, it's in the Boston subway." Boston has the oldest subway line in the United States. "Anywhere, anyway."

Fokine almost jumped for a moment, his eyes widened and he looked at Hugo incredulously, struck by the whimsy of the idea, and the mere thought of it in his mind was so spectacular that it eclipsed all words. "Okay, then...... Uh, what if it rains? "It's summer, so there's no danger of snow, which is a good thing.

"So what? We continue to record, you know, the rhythm of the raindrops can be considered the drumbeat of nature. Hugo shrugged, pursed his lips, and said nonchalantly.

"Then if the police. What about the arrest of us? Fokine's concern is justified, because recording in the city is not the same as street performance, like filming a movie, which requires permission from the city government, and obviously this is a huge undertaking.

"Keep recording, maybe we can get them to join in the singing." Hugo said with a smile, then raised an eyebrow and looked at Fokine, "What do you think?" ”

"You're a madman." Fokine said simply, "But I like it." ”

Hugo laughed heartily, but the smile only lasted for a while, and Hugo suddenly became sad, and Fokine asked puzzledly, "I think this is a crazy and wonderful idea of yours, which is absolutely better for glory to death," what Foquin didn't say was that EMI Records would never like this idea, "Then why do you have this expression?" ”

Hugo let out a long breath, "Because we don't have enough equipment to do the job." "To do that, a mobile electronic device is a must, at least a laptop. But in 1996, it was impossible to move the studio to the street.

Fujin frowned and thought for a moment, "No, maybe...... I mean, I should talk to Neil, I have an idea now, but I think we should get together as a band and talk about it. ”

"Really?" Hugo's eyes widened, while Hugo was busy filming films, Forge and Neil were not idle, they learned a lot of studio knowledge and skills on their own, and they also went to New York for professional training during the Grammys. Hugo's voice trembled slightly because he was too excited, "If it can really be done, then this is definitely the most indelible mark of glory to death!" ”。
