Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1902 Recording scene
In Guan Tingting's room, the walls of the living room are hung with various musical instruments, and there are bookshelves with various music scores on the bookshelves. There are many dolls piled on the small sofa, and a table is cluttered with many trophies and certificates. There are some photos of performance scenes hanging on the wall, including those of various famous Chinese and foreign bands and stars, as well as Guan Tingting and her own. There are several photos of the passionate performance of the Big Baozi band taken from the audience's perspective, which are quite outstanding. The whole room is filled with a weird feeling that is messy, literary, and very girly.

Now with the addition of a pile of barbecue and two boxes of beer, Zhou Zhi felt a bit like the Beatles.

But the other two rooms are very professional.

One room is the editing room, which is more like a computer room.

Because the equipment is so professional and high-end, even the professors of Sichuan Conservatory of Music often ask Tang Qi to contact Guan Tingting just to come and record, and sometimes they even have to schedule it.

In addition to recording equipment, there is also a professional audio editing machine with semi-linear editing software, which is SONY's professional equipment.

It is actually also a computer, but it is a professional model with multiple processors equipped with Windows NT. It can realize multiple functions such as multi-track recording, synthesis, modulation, retouching, defect processing, etc. Compared with the previous "mixed editing" mode that could only record repeatedly and simply edit, this device can be said to be a revolutionary device in audio editing.

Although it is still a little short of true "non-linear editing", it can already meet the needs of most professional work scenarios and can also output professional Dolby-level DEMOs.

Even though Guan Tingting, Liu Yuchu, Zhao Lexin and Hu Rui are terrible at math, physics and chemistry, it doesn't seem to hinder them from using these devices at all. It turns out that interest is the best teacher, and computers are simply a tool used by humans.

The editing room is separated from another room by only a wall. The middle of the wall has been hollowed out and inlaid with thick soundproof glass. The recording studio is over there.

The walls of the recording studio have been professionally soundproofed. They are covered with square cone-like structures that are used to disperse sound and prevent sound waves from reflecting into the microphone.

The equipment there is simple: a microphone for receiving sound, a pair of over-ear headphones, and a computer display screen.

The computer screen is actually a prompter, but unlike karaoke, it is a page-turning type and comes with music scores, which makes it easier for singers to grasp the pitch more accurately. The screen over there is the same as the screen in the editing room. The one in the editing room is also a handwriting screen. Hu Rui, who is sitting at the editing desk, can communicate with Guan Tingting in the recording studio through a headset. Hu Rui can write and draw on the screen with a stylus pen to get Guan Tingting's attention to some key points that need to be paid attention to during the singing.

After the communication, Liu Yuchu began to use the equipment to edit the soundtrack. This software can automatically translate the music score into the sounds of various instruments, and can also use an electronic keyboard to input audio tracks in real time. Because now it is mainly recording vocals, it only needs to configure piano accompaniment, guitar accompaniment, rhythm and drums.

For the rest of the non-professional audience, this is good enough to listen to.

Guan Tingting and the Big Baozi Band ate and drank while discussing things, and soon they finalized the background music for "I Heard Love Has Come Back".

"I'm going over there." Guan Tingting looked at the score with many places marked by the stylus, and seemed very satisfied. She said to Zhou Zhi and others who didn't dare to make a sound, "Everyone, eat. It won't affect us."

"Come on, Tingting!" Mai Xiaomiao summoned up her courage and said this inexplicably. Guan Tingting smiled and waved to Mai Xiaomiao, then walked leisurely to the opposite room and closed the door, holding a beer bottle in her hand.

Putting on headphones, Guan Tingting looked at the screen again and then closed her eyes.

Hu Rui lightly tapped the Enter key on the keyboard in front of her, and the prelude that she had just edited sounded.

Guan Tingting gently swayed her body to the music and hummed along with the prelude with a nasal sound.

"Every singer has his or her own recording habits." Zhou Zhi introduced to the group: "Some singers like to record barefoot, and some even like to record naked. Tingting likes to hum the prelude."

Guan Tingting is very beautiful and has a good figure. After entering the professional field, Guan Tingting is even more charming. Her soft humming, slight expressions, and even the flicking of her fingers on the edge of the wine bottle are all unique styles.

This kind of style is rarely seen even in formal singing occasions.

Zhou Zhi had an idea, found the video recorder, and started filming the recording studio opposite.

The singing is still as beautiful as before, but this time Zhou Zhi was not as touched as when he first heard it. If the first version allowed him to deeply experience the emotions in Guan Tingting's song, this time he can finally appreciate her skills.

Guan Tingting has made great progress in recent years. As she becomes more proficient in the use of her voice cavity and has more abundant breath, the sound pressure in her singing is very strong and has tension, making the strong mix of her high and ultra-high notes sound closer to her real voice. Only when she reaches the dolphin sound does she enter a clear transition between true and false voice.

In addition to the dolphin sound similar to coloratura, some of the super-high pitch parts have also mastered the use of high-pitched weak breathy sounds. I don’t know if the girl knows how to show her charm, but now the mid-bass sounds even more charming and gentle.

If Zhou Zhi could still sing with Guan Tingting when she sang in the Peace Dove Nightclub before, Guan Tingting is now far beyond her level. Zhou Zhi has to admit that he is no longer worthy of singing with Tingting.

This time, Guan Tingting was more open and relaxed, and her performance was more realistic. Of course, apart from the professionals and Zhou Zhi, the others could not hear much of the difference. They just felt that it was better than before, but could not tell why.

After this version was sung, even Hu Rui, Liu Yuchu, Zhao Lexin and others stomped their feet and screamed, jumped and high-fived each other, and gave thumbs up to Guan Tingting on the other side of the glass wall. She sang so beautifully!
"Tingting, this version is so beautiful, but there are a few places that need to be improved." After a few girls made a fuss for a while, Hu Rui marked on the screen with a stylus while holding the microphone in front of her and said, "When the first verse was cut in, the breathy sound was a little too strong. You should pay attention to it. And here, there is a dragging sound for a little half a beat. After processing it, it feels better not to use this technique to be more direct, right? We need to re-record here. And here, you habitually used the technique of changing the key. Brother Elbow just said that this song should be based on emotion and supplemented by technique. Let's change it here without changing the key and try it out. And here, we don't use falsetto here, try using real voice plus bubbling sound..."

Mai Xiaomiao was amazed. To her, the performance was impeccable, but it turned out that such professionals could make so many adjustments.
