After a day's work, their first song was recorded, and the rest of the work had to be spent on polishing. This kind of work is usually done by music producers and singers, and Alex is not yet familiar with them, so they can only ask Rudy to help.

Rudy himself is a bit cunning, but his professionalism is still good. As Bart continued to pay for the next day, he dutifully fine-tuned the details of the song.

This is an era when there are no computers, at least not in music production. It is completely dependent on manual editing and editing, which is a delicate job.

The Carpenter brothers were not idle, and they followed Rudy as assistants. They learned a lot from it, especially in terms of the processing of sound. The most important thing is that Alex always adjusts according to the original version and gives many opinions that make Rudy's eyes shine.

That night, Bart found a hotel nearby, and in order to save money, the three of them huddled into a small room to rest. It's a very basic inn, and even the hot water doesn't work until the dead of night.

After taking a shower, Richard turned on the radio in his room and listened to his favorite music. In these programs, jazz or country music is played. To Alex, it's not interesting at all, it's not music he likes to listen to, but it's better than nothing in this situation.

In 1950, the United States was still in the stage of great urban development. Television is still a luxury, and the TV station is very minimum, and the coverage is small. Television was only available in some large cities, and music was transmitted on records and radios.

Especially for records, when people want to listen to a specific piece of music, they will buy a record and play it. Record labels were one of the most lucrative industries at the time.

The song "Mary" written by George Stoddard in 1919 became a popular song by recording it. At that time, Victory Records sold 300,000 copies of the song in three months.

By 1939, record labels were selling 45 million records of popular songs in a single year. Ten years later, record sales tripled.

Records not only make songs popular, but also cultivate a group of "singers" familiar to the masses. Radio was not weak in this regard, and by the thirties not only had radio stations in major cities in the United States, but even small villages were dissatisfied with small radio stations.

The singing voices of singers such as Bing Crosby and Kate Smith often ripple over the United States. Good songs cultivate singers, and famous singers make songs popular. Sometimes, there are songs with singers that become famous overnight through a single broadcast.

Alex wanted to become famous in this way, and the key to fame was the quality of the records and how much the radio loved their songs.

Suddenly, he thought of Elvis Presley! The current Elvis should still be in Memphis, and he will not really become famous until Elvis is 19 years old, that is, in 1953.

Elvis Presley also ran to record a record to celebrate his mother's birthday, but he was dug up by the people at the record company and became famous in one fell swoop!

"What's the name of the song that Elvis Presley's debut?" Alex thought to himself, and quickly looked up information about Elvis Presley in his memory bank, and finally he found it: "That's AllRight, this is it!" This song is also a cover song by Elvis Presley. Elvis Presley added his own twist, though, blending rock rhythms with blues songs! ”

The song eventually became Elvis' debut single record on Sun Records and conquered local fans. Since then, Elvis has released several records and started touring. His kind of music that embodies country music and rhythm combined with blues, as well as his wild and uninhibited gestures, detonated rock and roll by storm like never before. Elvis Presley was on the road to success, and a superstar began to rise.

"Richard! Have you ever heard the song "That's AllRight"? Alex asked Richard as he picked up his guitar!

"Yes, I heard it on the radio! What's wrong? ”

"And how do you hear me sing?" Alex took a deep breath and performed the song in Elvis Presley's fashion.

The song is actually very simple, and it comes and goes with just a few lyrics. Amazingly, though, this combination of rock rhythm and blues style singing is very pleasant. Richard, in particular, hugged Alex happily after only half hearing it.

"You, how did you do that?" Richard asked excitedly.

"How? What do you mean! Alex asked, somewhat incomprehensibly.

"This, how can I say this. The songs you sang before, although they are good, always feel a little weird! This one is different, it's different! Richard muttered.

"Different?" Alex was a little confused.

Actually, it's easier to understand. Alex is, after all, from sixty years later, and the music he first came into contact with was the product of more than half a century of development. After so many years of evolution, pop music has gone through an unknown number of generations. If you just give the music of the 50s to the people of the 50s, it is very likely that you will not be able to accept it at first.

Elvis Presley's interpretation of this first one is different, it has both rock rhythm and blues style, which can be regarded as a link between the past and the future. The reason why Elvis Presley is so famous is not only because he opened the era of rock and roll, but because he has played a role in bridging the era of blues and the era of rock and roll.

These things are incomprehensible to Alex, after all, he is not from this era.

In his opinion, Elvis Elvis's songs are too old, without new ideas and passion.

On the other hand, in Richard's eyes, this song "That's AllRight" is as if it poked at his cool point.

"Is this song that good?" Alex is a little confused about the appreciation of people in this era, and in his opinion, this song is just average.

However, he has decided that he wants to replicate Elvis Presley's successful path, so he will not continue to hesitate.

"Richard, we'll record this song tomorrow when we have time!" Alex put the guitar down in his hand and said.

"Will Mom like this song?" Richard was a little hesitant, he knew Angel's temperament, and the song was too rough for conservative people.

"What's wrong?" Alex couldn't figure out what Richard was thinking, and he continued, "Why don't we burn both of our songs and give them to our mom together?" ”

"But the song 'That's AllRight' is so brutal that I'm still a little worried that adults won't like it!"

"Well, or else! We sang "A Song for Mom" together, and this "That's AllRight" let me sing it solo! Alex had to come up with such a solution in order to convince Richard.

"Take your liking! We'd better go to bed early and go to the studio tomorrow. Richard had no choice but to say this.

Early the next morning, the Carpenter family arrived at the recording studio. After most of the day's hard work, the first song was adjusted.

After the mastering is post-processed, the song becomes even better. Rudy plays the final version. Listening to the beautiful and moving singing, everyone felt very excited, as if they were dreaming.

Richard said happily, "Is that really what I sang?" Really? ”

Bart was finally a little relieved, and he thought that after listening to such a beautiful song, those people on the radio would definitely rush to play it.

"It's finally done!" Alex felt a sense of relief inexplicably, and the pressure on him was not small.

Even Rudy was touched by this song, and he felt that it was the most beautiful song he had ever produced in his life. As the actual producer of this song, he also has an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

As for the blacks who were the accompaniment, they were even more smiling. Although the song was not sung by them, it was accompanied by them. If this song makes it to the weekly chart, they will also have the capital to show off in the future.

After the singing, everyone was still immersed in that strange atmosphere. It lasted for about a minute, and no one spoke.

"Hey, you only have 2 hours left on your rental time, do you want to continue recording?" Rudy looked at the time, then reminded.

"Of course, I'm going to keep recording! We still have a song that we haven't recorded! Alex hurriedly replied, his words made Bart feel a little surprised, as if it was not quite the same as Ji Lu's.

"Another song?" Rudy smiled: "It took nearly two days for you to record this song, do you think you can record it in 2 hours?" ”

"Everybody should have heard this song," Alex said, playing his guitar as he played, "You guys follow my rhythm!" ”

"Huh?" Everyone is really familiar with this song, but why does the rhythm feel a little rough? And this feeling is like mixing juice with liquor and drinking it together. Sweet but hot and stimulating, it can make people's adrenal hormones secrete quickly and blood surge.

Soon, the accompanying music sounded, and after a few paragraphs, everyone was working together seamlessly.

As Alex sang, his body began to shake slightly, increasing in amplitude, and his whole body swayed after the last moment. Not only him, but everyone in this studio couldn't help but sway and sway to the song!

The song is sung solo by Elvis, Elvis, and his voice has a magnetism that sounds like a black person singing. Because of this, a lot of white DJs on radio stations were reluctant to play Elvis Presley's songs in the beginning.

Now it's completely different, Alex's voice hasn't changed yet, his voice is clear and transparent, full of emotion, loud and refined, like an angelic voice. After his interpretation, the song has a different feeling.

The song "That's AllRight" was recorded smoothly, and Alex was in perfect form, passing it almost once or twice. This is his own strength, and he has no ability to use "simulated memory" at all, at most he uses the ability to "trace" a little, while recalling the audio of Elvis singing this song in his mind, while recording the song.

Since Alex is the only one singing, his way of singing is faster to record, and it doesn't need to be with Richard's singing, which is more suitable for him.
