As a mysterious industry, recording has always been an industry longing for free musicians. Of course, with the popularization and promotion of high-tech products, it is possible to achieve some things that the average person thought impossible in the past. Especially the popularity of computers can make everyone enjoy the fun of digital recording. Of course, the effect of recording is naturally incomparable with the works recorded in professional recording studios.

Professional recording studio, it is a special recording place that people build in order to create specific recording environment acoustic conditions. The acoustic characteristics of the recording studio play a very important role in the quality of recording production and its products.

Andy is not the first time to enter the recording studio, naturally there will not be that kind of inexplicable little excitement, not to mention, he really is not a musician, for the dreams of musicians and the like, it is lacking .

However, since an album contract has been signed with Universal Records, Universal Records is ready to follow Hawaii all the way, and Andy does not want to live with the dollar. Besides, this album also includes the previous releases. Singles, and songs that he has not sung before. To be honest, these songs have been popular all over the United States and even the world. This time the album is released, if there are not a few new songs, it is really a bit out of the album circle. The feeling of money.

In the afternoon, after Andy and Ivana flew to Honolulu, first returned Ivana to the Smith family holiday estate, and greeted the happy old housekeeper, George, and Andy took The bodyguards formed a mighty convoy to the recording studio where the Universal Records were located.

Receiving the news, Luzian Granger, president and CEO of Universal Records Group, immediately convened his staff to prepare for Andy Smith, a super big singer of their company.

The grievances that have been aired for two days have long been thrown behind me. After all, everyone knows that it is impossible to treat Andy Smith with the attitude and requirements of singers. In any case, the new richest man in the world is finally from Take time out of your busy schedule. Next, you will spend more time recording songs. It is said that Bill Gates makes $ 250 per second, $ 20 million a day, and $ 7.8 billion a year ...

Then Andy Smith, the world's richest man at $ 50 billion, earns an average of $ 6,659 per minute. Just thinking about it, everyone who came to record the album for Andy Smith felt Alexander.

They are not working with one person, but with a walking money printing machine!

"Bang"

A group of ten black SUVs guarded the middle black Rolls-Royce, parked in the front yard of the house where the recording studio was located, and immediately more than a dozen indifferent, burly bodyguards opened the door from the SUV. Down, the cold eyes glanced at the crowds of Universal Records headed by Lu Zian, not far away, then quickly spread out, scattered around, facing each other in a direction of vigilance.

Rolls-Royce, who was pulled out of the car, stretched out a white pair of shoes to fall to the ground. Andy Smith, wearing a white shirt and colorful beach shorts, bent over and got out of the car. After looking around, Andy took off his sunglasses and mouth corners. Going up with a faint smile on his face, EO of Universal Records, who was brought up, walked over.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Granger."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Smith, I'm really glad to see you."

Feeling the enthusiasm of the other party, Andy nodded with a smile. After shaking hands with the other party, and introduced by Lu Xi'an, they met the team members who made him the album this time, especially Max Martin and Ku. Khaler, two of the top music producers.

"Trouble both." Andy said to them with a smile. He knew his own family affairs. After all, he hadn't studied vocal music systematically. He had to rely on talent to support his singing. He wanted to say how beautiful his singing is. He himself Don't believe it, so if you want to make the album perfect, you really can't do without the two big guys on the opposite side to help him make up.

"It's our pleasure!" Both Max Martin and Cook Harrell have humble smiles on their faces, and they can't see the depression that has been aired for two days, so say, don't say that Westerners are not hypocritical. You know, there are really few people in the world who can be self-willed and who live by themselves.

Maybe before, they complained unhappy in private, but when they really saw Andy, the new richest man in the world, the young big man, they have been in the entertainment circle for decades. People will be sincere and fearful, and they will not know their smiles.

"Mr. Smith, please, please." Lu Xi'an saw that Andy Smith had not been as rejective as he was worried about before. His indifferent attitude, on the contrary, was very friendly and very friendly, which could not help him. Xia greatly relieved, while reaching out and inviting with a smile, while watching Andy nodded at him with a smile and shook his head and smiled bitterly in his heart, he was thinking too much, and there is no real big man who is not very kind in private, Only those who are arrogant and ignorant will find themselves different and superior.

"This recording studio is the best in Hawaii. Although it is on the outskirts of Honolulu, it can also give musicians a recording experience away from the hustle and bustle ..."

As he walked, Andy listened to Lu Xi'an introducing him to the history of the recording studio and what songs and albums it produced. The recording studio's decoration is mainly wood and colorful, giving a rural cottage feel, which is better than other professional recordings. The room is more interesting. The recording studio is surrounded by lush trees and gardens, so that people can enjoy the inspirational natural scenery here. The quiet environment plus many recording equipment, it really seems to be based on a music paradise.

"There are many digital and analog recording equipment for musicians to choose from, including many microphones ... preamps and monitors ..."

Listening to the names of some professional equipment by Luzian Barabara, Andy smiled and nodded with a half-understanding smile, and he really knew him well. No matter what, although I ’m not familiar with it, but Don't be shy.

"... the wooden decoration of the radio room creates a warm and complete tone, which is the only sound here."

After visiting the radio room, Andy saw the many guitar collections in this recording studio-well, anyway, many well-known brands of guitars are hung on two walls. Of course, naturally, the characteristic instruments of Hawaii are not sure. Kerry, and there are a series of control pedals to provide matching use. Rather, there are two representative classic pianos-Yamaha 2 and feverrhodes73.

Seeing the two pianos, Andy couldn't help itching, and said to Lu Xi'an with a smile, "Can I play it?"

"Of course, hehe, I believe it's their honor." Lu Xi'an laughed.

"Hehe ..." Andy shook his head with a smile at Lu Xi'an's pony, shook his head, and, under the gaze of a group of top musicians, came to Yamaha 2, sat down, moved his fingers, closed his eyes, and started Bounced.

A familiar and classic "To Alice" piano song, the melodious piano sounded in the recording studio.

"Papapa"

A burst of warm applause rang, and Andy shook his head with a humble hand and smiled slightly: "Thank you for your applause, I haven't played for a long time, it's a bit rusty."

The crowd present laughed and applauded, and showed a kind smile to Andy's words and performances. To say the true level, at least half of the crowd present can easily crush Andy's playing skills. However, facing Andy For a big man like Smith, who can say anything else, just applaud ...

"... Next, Mr. Smith, you need to pick a song and sing its pitch and rhythm.

After that, you can enter the radio room, bring your headphones, and align the microphone. Please note that when you sing, do n’t shake left or right or back and forth. During this process, the sound engineer will adjust your recording level, microphone and accompaniment for you. Many issues, such as loudness and choice of microphone, are a good opportunity for you to audition.

The sound engineer will record the song from beginning to end according to the preset eq parameter value, and listen to the dry sound that has been recorded. After the audition, I will make up one by one for individual problems. For those who have a certain singing skill, they will also guide you to sing the inner voice expressions in the music ... "

After the tour, the main person in charge of recording the album accompanied Andy to sit on the sofa, and Max Martin began to explain to Andy the next recording process and precautions.

"So, Mr. Smith, which song do you want to sing first?"

"..." Andy groaned and asked with a smile: "Is the accompaniment of these songs recorded?"

"Yes, it's been recorded before."

"Then start with" Halloffame "!" Andy laughed.

"The Hall of Fame? Well, let's start with this first!" Max Martin was a stunner first, and this song was also an inspirational song that he really liked. To be honest, when he got these songs, he really What admires Andy Smith is the absolute first classic!
