One Hundred and Eighty Third, Start Cautiously

"King of the Stage ()"

A question with doubts, but because of Ollie's uprightness and taking it for granted, it becomes simpler.

Cliff's gaze also slowly fell on Ronan.

Maxim hesitated and struggled for a moment, looking at Ronan with complicated eyes, but finally he showed a smile, knowing deep down that this was the best choice, "Ronan, let you do it?"

"..." Ronan's first reaction was still to humbly refuse, but feeling the eyes of his teammates, especially Ollie's warm eyes full of encouragement, the words that came to his mouth paused and turned in his mind After a circle, he nodded and said simply, "Okay."

In terms of time, they should not continue to procrastinate now, so Ronan took over this important task in this way.

"Huh..." Ronan let out a heavy breath. He could feel the heavy weight on his shoulders, and more importantly, the surging expectation. Then he rubbed his hands and said to the band members, "Let's Let the show begin!"

For professional band recording, the singer and the band must be recorded separately, and even the sound collection of each instrument must be carried out separately. Make sure there is no noise.

Of course, this kind of recording is too delicate and lacks the texture of a live band performance, so many bands choose to record collectively, that is, the whole band plays together and listens to the sound, so as to really find the resonance between the instruments and create the resonance effect of the live performance.

The two recording methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, but there is no distinction between good and bad. In the final analysis, the band chooses according to its own style and situation. The same band chooses different recording methods for different albums and songs. common.

But what is certain is that no matter which method is used, the feelings brought by the album and the scene are still completely different, the resonance of the whole space and the atmosphere of the scene are different, and it is precisely because of this that the listening experience is also different , If you like music, no matter what singer or band you like, besides the album, you must go to the live performance to enjoy the performance, which is a rare experience.

Ronan sat down next to the sound console directly in front of the recording room. Looking at the dazzling array of buttons in front of him, he was a little dizzy for a while, and didn't know where to start. However, Ronan didn't panic and took a deep breath. Calm down and collect your thoughts and observe slowly.

From the previous life to this life, the journey back to the recording studio has gone through untold hardships. He should not be overwhelmed by excitement and ecstasy. Cherish and invest more. He needs to focus on his work.

At first glance, there are indeed too many buttons, and I don’t know where to start. It is much more complicated than the intuitiveness of computer software, but calm down, keep exploring patiently, and you will be able to get started soon. Easier than computer software.

Because the division of functional blocks is very professional and very clear, and the subdivision of specific functions is perfect computer software, ensuring that producers can control and produce as they wish.

While Ronan was groping, the three band members had already entered the recording room, selected instruments, adjusted them, adapted to the venue, and completed their preparations.

In fact, the melody and chords of the song "Chasing the Light" are very simple, without too many gimmicks, showing the purest and most simple emotions in the heart, but Ronan put a lot of careful thought into the composition.

For example, use classical instruments such as cello and violin to increase the grandeur of the melody, such as using drums and keyboards as the main melody instrument to create a sense of majesty, but try to reduce the noise caused by electronic sounds as much as possible to ensure that the melody itself is clean and harmonious. Lightness, then layers to reveal texture.

From the perspective of finished products, these small thoughts are often difficult to be captured by hearing—of course,

The use of high-end speakers can capture the layering of the melody through the distinction between high and low frequencies, but most ordinary headphones cannot distinguish the layers. The ears can only feel the light and simple melody, and even only the keyboard and drum kit can be captured. of staggered.

However, the complexity of the arrangement is an important step in simplifying the complexity. It is precisely because of these delicate, intricate and invisible layers that the three-dimensional auditory experience of "architectural space" can be displayed without Make a lot of noise and noise.

In the warm-up performance of Bruno's concert, the band did not complete the recording work, but just played with the band's instruments. To some extent, this made the melody appear simpler and lighter, but lacked enough layering. The sense of three-dimensional space is not sufficient, and it is a little thin.

To use Ronan's words to describe it, it is "a rough and simple version".

Now, entering the recording studio for official recording work means that Ronan has the opportunity to make a full version, which truly shows a sense of three-dimensional space. Naturally, he will not easily miss it, but it also means that the melody recording work of the band is very Complicated and complicated, it is definitely not an easy task.

In the current state of One Day King, the time is limited, and they must ensure the best recording effect in a short period of time, so Ronan decided to choose a combination of the two recording methods. First, the band members will play together to complete the main melody Then record the parts of the classical instruments separately one by one, delicately outline the level of detail, expect to be able to produce the effect Ronan expected, and finally synthesize a complete song.

Therefore, Ronan calmed down to study the sound console, allowing himself to regain the working state of the recording studio; while the band members entered the recording room collectively.

"Are you ready?"

Ronan pressed the red button on the audio console, spoke into the microphone, and communicated with his teammates in the recording room.

After entering the recording room, it means entering a real soundproof space, ensuring that the noise from the outside will never affect any sound track inside, and all communication must be done through microphones and headphones.

In the same way, standing in the recording room, the whole space is quiet, and the microphone is very sensitive to pick up sound, which can accurately record all sounds.

So, during the recording process, the band members had to wear headphones—

It can be understood that the earphone is equivalent to the effect of the ear return, directly transmitting the sound of the accompaniment to the ear, and at the same time isolating the surrounding noise, but the requirements for the studio earphone are not as strict as the ear return, because there is no interference around, the earphone only needs to Just pass the accompaniment out, so the sound insulation effect is relatively simple.

Sometimes, during the recording process, the singer only wears one side of the earphone to ensure that he can hear the accompaniment as well as his own singing voice. That is for the reasons mentioned above.
