I have too many parts

Chapter 176 Recording Songs
A MIDI keyboard looks exactly like an electronic organ, but it is very different from an electronic organ.The electronic keyboard can produce sound by itself, but the MIDI keyboard cannot produce sound.

The MIDI keyboard must be connected to the sound card, and with the help of the host software, namely CUBASE, the sound sources in the computer can be played through CUBASE.

In other words, the MIDI keyboard actually produces sound through the computer's speakers.

But this is not a musical instrument, it is actually a tool for arrangement. The main purpose of the MIDI keyboard is to replace the mouse to write notes directly and quickly.

For example, there is a piano in the accompaniment of a certain song, and it is piano from beginning to end.It takes at least several hours to write notes with the mouse.But with a MIDI keyboard, as long as you know what notes to write, it's actually time to play a piece of music.You just need to play the melody you want to write completely, and it will be written in automatically.

But usually most arrangers don't like to use MIDI keyboards. Although this thing is fast, it is not easy to use. You need to be proficient in keyboard instruments to the point where it is not bad.

It's hard to get there without the rhythm of the drums.So usually after writing with a MIDI keyboard, it is very troublesome to make large-scale revisions.So most arrangers actually rarely use MIDI keyboards.I only like to use it when playing column chords, which is the simplest.The other is that the midi keyboard is more troublesome...

But this is completely unobstructed for Li Ze. The former avatar helped him practice various musical instruments in the space all day long. His control over musical instruments can be said to have become a master level.

After connecting the MIDI keyboard, Li Ze tried the sound test, smiled, turned on the recording button of the electric piano track, and then started playing the piano chords of the King of Karaoke.

Harmony with the left hand, melody with the right hand, stepping on the pedal, Li Ze can be said to have played this piece of piano melody to the point of proficiency.

Because in the accompaniment of King of K Songs, the electric piano is the dominant harmonic instrument, and it continues from the beginning to the end, so there are countless notes in it.A total of 3 minutes and 35 seconds were recorded, and the harmony of the electric piano was recorded.

Li Ze entered the rolling shutter and only slightly modified it, and the tone of the piano was done.It saves many times the time. In the 3 minutes and 35 seconds, there are more than [-] notes. If you use the mouse to write one by one, it will probably take until tomorrow morning.

Then looking back, the king of K-songs that Li Ze had heard in his memory began to have viola sounds at 40 seconds. After the violas, a large number of violin sounds appeared after entering the climax.

At this time, Yang Xiao turned on the sound source of "Golden Orchestra" and began to select suitable violins and violas from the massive sounds...

It was late at night, and Li Ze finally arranged the string part.Strings are too difficult, much more difficult than arranging piano harmony, because strings are used as a backing harmony and are not obvious at all. They are not the main music that people listen to. Their purpose is mainly to make the human voice fuller.

So Li Ze tried his best to listen to the king of k-songs in his memory. After listening to it thousands of times, he pulled out the tape over and over again. Only then did he get the strings out.

After yawning, Li Ze continued to think about the King of K Songs he had heard.

At 1 minute and 40 seconds, the drum rhythm, that is, percussion music, appeared.The percussion hits for a bar, then the electric guitar comes in, and then the bass follows...

Keep working and fight till dawn!

In the afternoon of the next day, Li Ze, who had been fighting for two days and one night, stretched his waist, looked at the more than 20 audio tracks in the CUBASE interface, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The accompaniment of the king of karaoke is done.

From this we can see how difficult the arrangement is. This is because Li Ze is proficient in various musical instruments and helped him learn a lot of music knowledge in the avatar, and the arrangement is based on the original king of karaoke.That's it, it took two days and one night.Other arrangers are far from having such convenient conditions as Li Ze, and it can be said that it is really hard work to complete a high-quality arrangement in three to five days.

After saving the document, Li Ze closed the computer and finally fell on the bed tiredly. He fell asleep in just a few minutes.

Too tired, such mental energy consumption, even Iron Man can't bear it.Li Ze has to sleep, sleep well, then adjust his state to the best, and record songs after waking up.

This time, I slept until noon the next day before waking up. I slept deeply and beautifully.Even Li Ze felt that this sleep was the most comfortable in his life.

The kind of deep sleep that consumes a lot of brain cells, and then the muscles and spirit of the whole body are exhausted to the peak, is really comfortable and miserable.

As soon as he woke up, without washing his face and brushing his teeth, Li Ze started to get busy.

First close the windows and draw the curtains.Then he moved the sofa in the living room in and placed it in front of the computer.

He took out several quilts from the cabinet and fixed them to the walls on all sides with ropes.

Then close the door and block the gap with several pillows.

This is actually very important, because Li Ze is not planning to go to a professional recording studio to record songs, he wants to record by himself, anyway, when he bought monitor speakers some time ago, he also bought condenser microphones.You can set up a recording studio by yourself in your bedroom.

The advantage of the recording studio is its airtightness, no external noise will come in at all, and the decibel of the noise will be reduced to the lowest level, making it the quietest.The sound from the outside cannot enter the recording studio, because the recording room is a small room without windows, and the door is also a double door wrapped in a layer of leather.The sound can't penetrate at all.

And Li Ze also tried his best to achieve this in his bedroom. The windows and doors were closed tightly, and then tape was pasted on the gaps, and they were covered with pillows or curtains, which also achieved the effect of noise reduction.

Also, the walls of the studio are made of perforated sound-absorbing foam.The principle of this is to absorb the sound sung from the mouth when recording a song, which will be bounced off the wall and form an echo.

Li Ze, who is proficient in music theory and physics, apparently used his own method to replace this effect. He took out all the quilts and hung them on the walls. The cotton in the quilts had a better effect than attracting foam. of.And he moved the sofa in. The sofa in Li Ze's living room was not a leather sofa, but a fresh sofa with sponge inside and cloth outside.

This sofa can also play a good sound absorption effect when placed in front of the computer.

In this way, the simple recording studio was completed, and Li Ze started to assemble the condenser microphones, and finally started recording songs.And his unkempt appearance finally looks like an artist.

PS: Xiaobao used to have his own recording studio at home, so you don’t have to doubt the authenticity. This is completely based on my bedroom.
