Liu Yihua is very excited now, his technology can only be regarded as a mediocre level in the previous history. But now in this era, when he knows too much advanced knowledge, Liu Yihua suddenly feels that he should be the most skilled sound engineer in the world, right
Thinking of this, Liu Yihua became a little excited. After adjusting the guitar, he continued to explain to the keyboard player, drummer, and bass player with great interest. Now Liu Yihua is full of confidence, so naturally he no longer keeps a low profile, but shows the demeanor of a teacher who is giving advice.
Next, the keyboard player, drummer, and electric bass player all went through the same process as the guitarist! This is simply too shocking for them! No, it should be to scare them! Liu Yihua knows too many things, and many things they have never heard of. It's just that they don't know that although Liu Yihua's level is good, he is far from being invincible. It's just because Liu Yihua's advanced knowledge is absolutely invincible in this era! Therefore, Liu Yihua can completely stun the band members by revealing a little bit of advanced things in the future.
After a period of familiarization, Liu Yihua feels that the members of these bands are of a high level and have basically mastered these advanced instruments. Liu Yihua smiled and said, "Very good. By the way, what's your band name?"
After Liu Yihua finished speaking, he looked back at Zhou Huijie.
The band members dare not speak. They are good but have no reputation. The few of them have never worked together before, and the band has no name yet.
Zhou Huijie was a little embarrassed and said: "Yihua, they are all masters I dug from this band. The level of each of them is definitely the top in Hong Kong. It's just that there is no band name yet... you can choose one!" Finally Zhou Huijie With an idea, I asked Liu Yihua to name the band.
Liu Yihua rubbed his chin and pondered for a while: "Well, although you are Hong Kong people, you are all descendants of Yan and Huang. Hong Kong will return to our big family of the Chinese nation sooner or later! Let's do this, our band is called Yan Hua The band! It’s the band of the descendants of Yan and Huang + the Chinese nation! Do you think it’s good?”
"Good!" The band members and Cai Suyan all applauded in unison, and applauded happily.
Liu Yihua smiled and said: "Yanhua band, it sounds great! It's very powerful! I hope you can become one of the best bands in the world in the future, and be proud of our Chinese nation! Do you have confidence?"
"Yes!" The band members now applaud Liu Yihua with enthusiasm in unison!
Liu Yihua said with satisfaction: "I believe you have this level. Alright, I'll go in and adjust the sound effects now."
After Liu Yihua finished speaking, he walked into the sound room, put on headphones, and conducted the band through the glass, adjusting the timbre of each instrument one by one. By the time the final ensemble was played the band members were numb! They actually discovered that they only knew what music is today! This is simply a great irony for them who thought that Lao Tzu was invincible before!
"Okay, here are a few songs for you to familiarize yourself with. These songs are very special, please keep them secret." After Liu Yihua finished speaking, Xiaoyan distributed the score to the band.
"Xiao Ruoshui, go try singing now. Yes, it's that microphone. Sing, I can hear it in the earphones." Liu Yihua said to the intercom microphone on the mixing console. can be heard.
Xiao Ruoshui nodded, looked at Liu Yihua through the glass, and obediently stepped forward to sing... However, just after she sang a few lines, she noticed that Liu Yihua's complexion changed drastically! Xiao Ruoshui was flustered all of a sudden. Could it be that his singing is ugly, and his brother doesn't like to listen to it
Liu Yihua happily shouted to Cai Suyan: "Xiaoyan, come in. Go over to the mixer and put on your headphones to listen. Ruoshui, come, and sing a few more words."
Seeing Liu Yihua's happy look, Xiao Ruoshui was relieved. She knew that brother Yihua might like singing by herself, so she sang even better in the next few lines!
Seeing Cai Suyan take off the earphones with a face full of shock, Liu Yihua asked with a smile: "How is it? Isn't it quite shocking? Ruoshui is a genius! But Xiaoyan, you don't have to be discouraged, your singing is also at the genius level, but you don't It may only develop in entertainment. But it’s good for Xiao Ruoshui to become a big star in entertainment and film and television.”
Xiao Ruoshui couldn't hear what Liu Yihua and Cai Suyan were talking through the glass, but she could feel that Liu Yihua and Cai Suyan were very excited.
Liu Yihua picked up the talkback microphone and said again: "Okay, let's rehearse a few times. When we recorded this song, we made two versions: one version is Cai Suyan singing solo; the other version is Cai Suyan and Ruoshui singing together!"
At this time, Cai Suyan went out and stood in front of the recording microphone with Xiao Ruoshui. The band is also fully focused on getting ready! They discover that the song they just saw is absolutely original! This song is sure to be popular all over the world!
Liu Yihua saw that the outside was ready, and reminded again: "Everyone pay attention to the artistic conception-when Ruoshui sings, it means that the country's reform and opening up has just started, and all walks of life are thriving; when Cai Suyan sings, it represents the reform and opening up. Fruitful results, after years of unremitting reform and opening up, our country has become a powerful world power! Well, pay attention to the change of artistic conception in your heart, and start practicing together now!"
After a period of running-in, the band's ability to understand Liu Yihua's intentions became stronger and stronger. They quickly entered the state and played pieces that met Liu Yihua's requirements. If you feel it with your heart, you can really feel the different realms that Liu Yihua just mentioned.
Xiaoyan was completely proficient in this song before, but now she needs to cooperate with Xiao Ruoshui and find a tacit understanding between the two of them.
Surprisingly, Ruoshui's ability to understand and integrate music is very good. After a few minutes, she sang slowly with the accompaniment, and quickly entered the state, reaching the artistic conception required by Liu Yihua!
After another rehearsal, Liu Yihua said happily: "Ok, very good! Quite good! Absolutely good! This time I must make you famous all over the world! Let Yanhua band be famous all over the world!"
Seeing Liu Yihua's self-confidence and hearing his passionate words, everyone felt that kind of endeavor and inspiration... Liu Yihua is now a "god" in the hearts of the band members!
Cai Suyan, Zhou Huijie, Li Shanshan, and Xiao Ruoshui are also admiring Liu Yihua now - can such a good song be written? That's not to mention, Liu Yihua can also organize bands and singers to practice together, and later he will do the recording himself? Looking at the electrical equipment with flashing lights, all the girls felt dizzy for a while. Too complicated! There are too many things in Yihuahui, this is the legendary genius, right
Liu Yihua is in a really good mood now, as if a collector discovered a national treasure, and a bole discovered a Maxima! The surprise Xiao Ruoshui brought to Liu Yihua was too great!
Liu Yihua calmed down and said to Cai Suyan: "Close the door, no one is allowed to come in for an hour! OK, the band will get ready, and the official recording will start in 1 minute!"
After Liu Yihua finished speaking, he stood in front of the mixer, turned on the multi-track recorder, and after adjusting the status to normal, put on the headphones and slowly turned up the volume of the band. any errors.
After everything was ready, Liu Yihua smiled at the band and made a sign to start... The band was a little nervous physically and mentally. After all, it was the first time to record in such a good place, so it's no wonder they weren't nervous. But Liu Yihua's smile just now made their tension disappear all of a sudden. They quickly adjusted their emotions, immediately entered the state, and played seriously and with their hearts.
Liu Yihua wore headphones to monitor the solo sounds of different instruments in turn, and then listened to the sound of the whole band, while paying attention to the state of the level meter of the mixing console!
If the recording volume is too loud, exceeding 0db, the sound may be distorted.
So in the past when recording tape, a "compression limiter" would be used in the sound system. This kind of equipment can control the recording level at 0db, so that the tape has the maximum dynamic range without distortion.
However, Liu Yihua is now using digital recording equipment. The dynamic range of this digital recording medium is very wide. In addition, Liu Yihua is extremely confident in his own technology, so he does not use a "compressor", but pursues the kind of recording that has not been done before. Compressed original sound.
The solo of a song was soon completed, Liu Yihua took off his earphones and said with a smile: "Very good! It's rare to have such a mentality and state for the first recording and to be able to perform at such a high level! But you still need to be more confident! I’m not exaggerating—you are the group of people who understand instruments and music best in the world now! It is impossible to find a band that surpasses you in the world! Therefore, you must be full of confidence and sunshine when you record for the second time! Good! The second recording is now ready... 3, 2, 1... start!"
This time the recording was perfect! It's so perfect that future generations can't believe that this accompaniment was completed in a temporary recording studio in a big hotel! And it's only been a short period of rehearsal! And only after 2 recordings!
After listening to the second recording with headphones, Liu Yihua laughed and said: "Perfect! It's perfect! I listened to it, but the sound of the keyboard is a bit low... But it doesn't matter, we are multi-track recording, post-processing Just increase the sound of that track from time to time. Next, I will play the recording effect just now through the sound reinforcement system for everyone to listen to.”
All the band members embraced excitedly after listening to the recording! so perfect!
Liu Yihua smiled and said: "Hehe, this is the latest multi-track recording equipment, and the effect is naturally amazing! Of course, my level is still a little bit." Liu Yihua began to keep a low profile again.
At this time, Cai Suyan asked in confusion: "Yihua, what is multi-track recording? Is this recording method different from the previous one?" Cai Suyan has worked in a TV station and is quite familiar with recording equipment.
The band members couldn't help but say at this time: "That's right, big brother. In the past, most of the recordings were in stereo. If there was a problem during the recording of a certain part, there was no way to edit it unless it was re-recorded."
Liu Yihua smiled and explained: "Multi-track recording is of course different from the previous stereo recording. Stereo recording records the overall signal of the entire band. There are only 2 tracks. If the keyboard sound is low in this recording method, it is low, because You can't adjust the volume of the keyboard alone.
But multitrack recorders are different. This is a multi-track recorder, and each instrument of the entire band occupies almost a single track for recording. The jazz drum is even more exaggerated and occupies several channels! When I wait for the synthesis, how about turning up the volume of the keyboard track a little bit? advanced? With the development of science and technology in the future, digital recording equipment will become more and more popular. In the future, there will be 24-track, 48-track, 56-track... recording equipment. Of course, computer equipment will be used more in the future, and automatic recording is not impossible in the future! "
The band now finally understands what it means: multi-track recording! They once again deeply lamented Liu Yihua's omniscience. Looking at the latest equipment makes me dizzy, but Liu Yihua knows it all! That's pretty awesome.
At this time, the drummer was not sure and asked: "Boss, you just said that my drums were recorded on several tracks. Does that mean that the sound of each drum can be adjusted after recording?"
Liu Yihua smiled and said: "Yes! Not only can you adjust the volume of each drum, but you can also adjust the tone of each drum! Only in this way can we have special creativity in post-production. As long as you understand the principle of this recording You can draw inferences from one example! Well, let’s all work together, and the next step is the recording of Cai Suyan and Xiao Ruoshui.”
After a pause, Liu Yihua said: "Xiaoyan, Ruoshui, let's see your performance next! I don't ask too much—I want you to perform at a super level and record a masterpiece that has been handed down from generation to generation! You must fully demonstrate your—the sound of nature !"
