American Fortune Life

"... you're in the Hall of Fame, ohh ..."

"Ahem."

Andy broke his treble from the monitor headphones, shook his head and laughed and coughed, concealing his embarrassment. Although the voice of singing is very different from the voice he usually hears, Andy, who is not the first time to record, naturally knows that this is due to the special acoustic environment of the recording studio and all the equipment used in the recording. Simply put, I found that my voice was dry, no reverberation, no echo.

But the treble is broken, and there is no way to "fool" it. In a recording studio, those sound very obvious. This is because when recording in the studio, any change in pitch, rhythm, breath, and emotion will be recorded without modification.

Although, after the recording is completed, the post-production process will make up for the lack of singing, make up for it, and strengthen the outstanding places. But after all, Andy is more than just a studio singer. He can't sing live for a lifetime, right?

Moreover, everything has two sides.

In the later period, some shortcomings can be modified, but at the same time, the original sound characteristics of the person may be erased. Can't it be an electronic sound ...

"It seems that I overestimate my voice a bit. I can't sing such a high pitch at all. It is really hard to go without a professional system!"

With Andy's current status, naturally he doesn't need to worry about anything. He acknowledges his shortcomings generously. His voice and singing skills are indeed a little bit worse than those of real singers. "This kind of country music is not a problem. Once you want to sing a violent treble, you will be exposed.

"In fact, it's good, control the breath, we'll come back a few more times ..."

Hearing that the recording engineer was obviously comforting, Andy looked at the other with a weird expression. It wasn't until the other person who looked at him had a slight change in complexion, and teased teasingly: "I know your recording engineer's" Good, come again " Basically it can be understood as "what the ghost is singing, come back to me! "

"No, Mr. Smith, I absolutely don't mean that ..."

"噗嗤"

"puff"

After hearing Andy's words, a few people in the studio almost looked weird and almost burst out laughing, concealing the smile on their face, and the sound engineer hurriedly waved his face, and his mouth became knotted. Baba's argument was that he absolutely did not have that meaning. Although this was the most commonly used subtext of their sound engineer, he couldn't admit it to Andy.

"Oh, don't get excited, I'm just kidding, no other meaning." Andy knew that this joke scared the other side, and he reached out and patted his arm with a smile to show that he was really just joking.

Looking at the sound engineer who didn't know whether he should cry or smile, Andy cast his gaze on Max Martin and said with a slight groan: "This treble must be able to perform with ease. To be honest, I really do not have this ability. Maybe it's time to do something else. "

Max Martin frowned slightly, and said solemnly, "Do you mean the later repair?"

"Of course not, that method can't fool people, it was dismantled at the scene, I mean harmony." Andy expressed his thoughts.

"It's feasible to raise the accompaniment tone, and add your powerful voice to the harmony ..." Max Martin frowned, reached over the song on the table, and started studying again.

"Perhaps this is really a good idea. This soprano, performed with a female voice, will have unexpected results ... wait, a soprano may look sharp and thin, a female duet plus a chorus. What do you think?" Cook Harrell's eyes lightened in groaning, and he clapped his hands to express his thoughts.

Max Martin glanced at the other with a bad temper, then shook his head with a smile, and Cook Harrell also sneered. Andy glanced at this. There was something I didn't know. I could n’t help but ask: "Max, why are you? Then look at Cook? "

"Oh, Mr. Smith, you don't know, our favorite Mr. Harrell is to harmonize the songs, that's his favorite."

After listening, Andy stunned and said with a chuckle: "In fact, you can actually try it. A single female voice really doesn't have that sense of power. The two sopranos are combined together. You can try it. If the effect is good, I will find two. Cooperating with famous female singers. "

"Then try?"

"try it!"

Try it out, and soon found two female accompaniment singers, added a female duet, and re-recorded it again. This time Andy did not sing any more, but also performed a sense of strength.

Holding the earphones, Andy listened to the earphones and listened to them, and said to Max Martin: "The effect is surprisingly good, but there should be no mood, so let's invite two female singers to work with me . "

"Did anyone choose?" Max Martin asked, which is what he must know about this album producer.

"Well, originally" Saysething "wanted Cheryl to sing with me, so even if she was one, and" needy ", I was going to invite Shakira to cooperate, and with her, I think the three of us There should be no problem in performing this song together. "

Since Andy is going to release the album, naturally she will not let go of the very well-behaved Cheryl. As for Shakira, he has been remembering for a long time. Of course, he needs to create opportunities to get along. Things, Andy is naturally not wasted.

Max Martin and Cook Harrell glanced at each other, then both turned to Andy, nodded slightly, Max Martin took the lead to say, "Shakira belongs to Sony, will there be no problem?"

"No problem, I directly contact Shakira. I believe she will not refuse. After all, the quality of the music is there. As for Sony's problem, let Lu Xi'an have a headache, hehe." Andy directly threw the pot to Universal Records.

"Well, then, Shakira's singing skills are undoubted. Cheryl's voice is also very characteristic, and the treble is also good. There should be no problem. Then, we will record a few other songs," skin "," "ethingjustlikethis", these three songs are very suitable for your voice ... "

Now that Andy himself has decided on the candidate, Max Martin and Cook Harrell will naturally no longer question what it is, and the two female singers he mentioned are both well-known characters in the pop music industry. Andy's amateur singer is definitely more than enough. Therefore, the two did not continue to struggle with these issues, but began to explain to Andy the great man the next few excellent songs and the precautions when singing.

When you are busy, time will pass quickly. In a blink of an eye, it is near dusk. Andy sings for two hours with great concentration. Although there are hot and cold air convection vents in the recording studio, they are still hot and silent. To be honest, if this is a long time, this claustrophobic environment really makes people feel very depressed.

"Grumbling Grumbling"

Andy sips mineral water in a big mouth, uses the cool water to pour out a bit of smoky throat, and constantly pulls his t-shirt fan, hoping to let the cool air of the air conditioner relieve his sweat.

"call"

"That's it for today. I can't stand it. It's too dry!" Andy took a deep breath and took a deep breath. He didn't like the sweaty, slimy feeling, but at this moment his t-shirt was long Sweat soaked.

"Well, let's get here today, Mr. Smith, when are you coming tomorrow?"

"Let me see, if my throat is okay, I will come over and record for two hours tomorrow morning. If it is not comfortable, then it will be in the afternoon. No, it will heat me up. We'll see you tomorrow. "Andy didn't want to stay in the studio for a moment, shook farewell with the two producers and the sound engineer, and left the studio.

After seeing Andy coming out, Lu Xi'an on the phone said a few words quickly, then hung up the phone and said with a smile on his face, "It's hard."

Andy shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "It's too hot, especially in the radio room. Although there are vents for air conditioning, but with the lights, I can't hold the heat for a long time."

"It's true, but that's no way. The radio room needs this effect, and it can't have the slightest noise." Lu Xi'an was also helpless, but this is nothing.

"Tell you the good news. Sony has done it. You can invite Shakira at any time."

"Oh? You move fast enough." Andy smiled at the news and told Lu Xi'an.

"To be honest, this is a cheap Sony. After all, I can work with you. This is definitely a great opportunity for Shakira. I don't deny the popularity of this Latin queen, but I can work with you and still It was her advantage. "Lu Xi'an was also a little depressed, and if he could, he really wanted to convince Andy to choose a female singer under Universal Records.

"Oh, just do it like this, I want to go, see you tomorrow, I will call Shakira and Cheryl as soon as possible, and let them come over." Andy smiled and shook hands with Lu Xi'an, in the other's Accompanyed, walked out of the house where the recording studio was located, and stooped down into the already-standby car.

In the cool compartment, Andy drank mineral water, took out his cell phone, found Cheryl's phone, and dialed out.

"Hey, it's me, what are you doing?"

"Hate, you've arranged my work. You won't know what I'm doing ..." On the phone, Cheryl's charming whistle came out.
