Chapter 150 The Recording Studio

The red BMW X5 is driving on 16th Avenue South, including here and around Music Square, which is the most important music industry park in Nashville.

Many country music stars and famous producers have recorded albums and singles here, including Kenny Chesney, Garth Brooks, Michael Jackson, etc.Music Square is the commercial center of Nashville's music industry, home to many record companies, music publishing houses and music industry-related companies.

The recording studio Taylor is going to this time is called RCA Studio B. In the 20s, this place had become an important symbol of the golden age of country music.

In addition to Taylor, Danielle was also in the car. Faith Hill was far away in Chicago, and the heavy responsibility of album producer fell on Danielle.

"If you ask me, Charlie hides in the back like a farmer every day. It's time to let him do the work." Danielle, who was sitting in the back row, said with a smile.

With Charlie Rossi by her side, she became more talkative along the way.

"But Charlie is usually busy with a lot of things." Taylor looked at Charlie in the driver's seat, his eyes full of love.

"I wish he could take a day off."

"You are just too soft-hearted. If you are bullied in the future, you have to tell me and I will help you get justice." Danielle was afraid that Taylor would be bullied, so she directly stood on the same front as Taylor.

"Mom, that's not fair." Charlie objected.

"What's unfair about this? You're out all day long and don't even come back once. It's better for Taylor to miss me often and call me. She will be my daughter from now on. If you dare to treat her badly, I was the first one not to agree." Danielle warned. After these few months, Taylor's status in her heart has gradually increased.

"I'm scared of both of you."

Charlie pulled over, and right next to the Country Music Museum was RCA Studio B. This is a single-family building on 16th Avenue with three floors. In addition to providing recording services to artists, it also provides tours for tourists, which is enough to show its special status. .

Entering it, there are several vinyl records hanging on the corridor wall, including Elvis Presley's "Are You Lonesome Tonight?", Loretta Lynn's "Coal Miner's Daughter", Roy O. Including Busson's "Crying", a long history has become a part of this place.

"It shouldn't be cheap to record here, right?" Charlie asked curiously as he stepped on the soft carpet.

"Of course, it costs almost $100 million to record an entire album."

Entering the recording studio, the first thing you see is a spaceship-like control console. At this time, there are already three recording engineers waiting in advance. They are all employees of a recording company. These recording companies provide professional recording services and often work with major majors. Record company cooperation.

The entire recording studio can be divided into three areas: a soundproof room, a control room, and a mixing room, as well as a lounge.

As a temporary assistant, Charlie stood behind the recording engineer, watching Taylor walk into the soundproof room through a narrow glass. The accompaniment had been recorded, and what was to be recorded today was the vocals.

The recording process is generally cumbersome. The title song, "fearless", has been gradually improved after repeated singing. This is a delicate job, and the recording engineer will ensure the singing effect in units of syllables.

Watching several people busy operating back and forth between the large mixing consoles of the digital audio workstation, Charlie felt that he was getting in the way, so he went into the lounge to take a rest.

I don’t know how long it took before Charlie was woken up by Danielle.

"Is it over yet?" Charlie raised his head and the coat covering him slipped off.

"It's just noon. There are still two songs left. Let's go to dinner now." Danielle said.

The three came out of the recording studio, and Taylor recommended her favorite Southern barbecue restaurant called The Row Kitchen & Pub.

It was noon and there were many people in the restaurant. Danielle happened to meet a few friends and went up to chat with them.

Taylor took Charlie's arm and led him to sit down at a small table.

"Let me order it for you." She opened the menu with a smile and said to the waiter in detail.

“Beef and pork BBQ platter, three Angus beef burgers, grilled chicken wings, spicy chicken wrap, huge Asian salad…”

Almost all meat dishes, Charlie has always been curious, how Taylor keeps himself in shape.

After a while, Danielle came back.

"By the way, you attended the Rossi family's party last time, and you weren't in trouble, right?" Danielle raised her arms, and the gold bracelet fell along her wrist.

"They don't dare. Charlie is now a respected investment expert. Those people have to hold him in their hands." Taylor said proudly.

"That's good." Danielle nodded. She had heard Taylor talk about it before, but she didn't ask for specific details.

For a moment, she felt proud of her son's outstanding performance. She had no other descendants except Charlie, her adopted son, who had been raising her as her own son for so many years. As for Taylor's care, it was actually more of a joint relationship.

"Speaking of which, the Rossi family has encountered new problems now. The pastor chose to retire. The core members of the family held a meeting for three days before choosing Victoria Rossi as the new generation patriarch." Charlie talked about more important things. matter.

"You mean, someone is dissatisfied?"

"Then I don't know. No matter what, the turmoil of these people has nothing to do with me." A figure named Marcello Rossi appeared in Charlie's mind.

The three of them had a great meal at noon. Both Taylor and Danielle were very full, and Taylor burped when they got up.

While there was still some rest time, the three of them took a leisurely walk around the Music Square. Danielle pointed to several eye-catching signs around them and introduced them to Charlie.

Warner Music Nashville, Broken Bow Records, Universal Music Group Nashville, Sony Music Group Nashville, as for the place that originally had the Big Machine Label Group sign, it now has the PB Music sign.

"Why don't you go in and have a look?" Taylor suggested.

"Forget it, let's say goodbye." Charlie didn't want his peaceful vacation to be ruined.

"You've never shown up yet, at least tell those employees that you haven't forgotten this place."

Danielle insisted on pulling Charlie inside.

Charlie was helpless and was dragged into his music company by the two men.

Because there are two big Buddhas, Danielle and Faith, who control the scene, it can be said that PB Music is the branch where Charlie has the most peace of mind. He has not even seen the accounts, let alone been there in person.

As soon as you enter the gate, you will see the huge artist memorial wall...
