The song "rplanes" was so catchy that Hayley Williams listened to it three times before she got the hang of it, then went into the soundproof room and tried to record it twice, then came out and discussed it with Evan Bell After a while, the recording officially started. The whole recording process was actually very fast, but Evan Bell and Hailey Williams, the two musicians who collaborated for the first time, obviously had many ideas of their own, and sparks collided in the melody.

"Hayley, let's try to slow down the whole rhythm by half a beat." Evan Bell pressed the button and said into the microphone.

"Are you serious? Wouldn't it be too procrastination if you slowed down a bit?" As a singer, Hailey-Williams naturally felt the most obvious, and directly raised her own question.

In fact, let's not talk about Hailey Williams. Callisto Ramos and others sitting outside were also confused. They obviously didn't understand the meaning of Evan Bell's request. However, they know Evan Bell better than Hailey Williams. Knowing that Evan Bell will not be aimless, they must want to try a different interpretation. Of course, no one can be sure that "trying" will result in great results, but without trying you will never know what kind of change it will make.

"If you can change the way you perform, you won't." Evan Bell insisted that during the entire performance just now, Evan Bell always felt that something was missing, and he was not sure about this. How should the missing highlights be defined, because Hayley Williams' performance is actually very good, so Evan Bell can't help but wonder if there needs to be some changes in the arrangement.

But Hailey-Williams is obviously not the kind of personality that can be manipulated at will. "Show me."

Hayley Williams' words caused an uproar in the studio.

How long has it been since anyone dared to challenge Evan Bell's authority in the studio. Although Eleven Music has always adhered to the principle of equal communication in the studio, and Evan Bell has also come up with a lot of bad ideas, but basically, everyone hopes to get help from Evan Bell, maybe Evan Bell -Bell may not be right, but his whimsy can indeed bring a lot of inspiration. So, in the studio, almost no one would say no to Evan Bell.

Abner Alfred and others immediately looked like they were watching a good show, but Bruno Mars was a little uncomfortable, because he always had a blind worship and confidence in Evan Bell, he believed that Evan -Bell's attempt was definitely purposeful. As for Callisto Ramos, everyone's eyes were on him involuntarily, but he was not at all uncomfortable, on the contrary, there was a serious look on his face. Although Callisto Ramos is emotionally partial to Hayley Williams, he is not emotional when it comes to the professionalism of music, but he has begun to seriously think about the purpose of Evan Bell's request. .

In fact, it is not difficult for Evan Bell to demonstrate, otherwise Adele Adkins, who had never met before, asked Evan Bell to show his hand, and Evan Bell would not have agreed so readily. But Evan Bell didn't nod directly at this time, "Is it me to sing, or you to sing? If I don't need this dubbing, then we won't discuss it here through the glass window, right? ?"

Evan Bell refuted Hayley Williams' request with a straight face, which caused a group of people sitting in the back of the studio to show different expressions. Abner Alfred whispered and Diego - Ramos said, "Ryan and they're coming back tomorrow? They'll regret missing this show." In support of Evan Bell's new album, the Republic is also preparing to return to New York.

"But the singer is me..." At first glance, Hayley Williams was not a girl willing to admit defeat. She wanted to hold on, but Evan Bell interrupted directly, "But the sound engineer and songwriter It's me." In the studio, the album producer actually has the most say, followed by the songwriter and sound engineer, and of course, these roles are all Evan Bell, who has absolute control.

Hayley Williams rolled her eyes with no face at all, then raised her **** at Evan Bell, "Then give it a try." Now that she has decided to cooperate with Evan Bell, she has overcome various difficulties. Difficult to complete cooperation, this is professional attitude.

Evan Bell adjusted it a little on the console, slowed the whole rhythm down by half a beat, and started playing again. Sure enough, the melody has just begun to sound, and these professionals in the recording studio are sensitive to the signs of procrastination in the whole style.

Rap songs are slightly different from other music, and their sensitivity to rhythm is very distinct, because the singer's entire performance rhythm determines the style and details of the song, bright, sad, dynamic, surging, these emotional changes will be in the rhythm. Changes are clearly communicated. So for other music, it may not hurt to slow down by half a beat, but in rap, the feeling is very obvious - at least to the people in the industry.

Could it be that Evan Bell was wrong this time? Epner-Alfred and others all looked at each other in dismay. However, Evan Bell didn't seem to have any plans to stop and kept the music playing.

The part performed by Hayley-Williams is actually only two lines of lyrics, but it has to be sung three times before and after, and there is a harmony at the end of the song. So after starting over, she quickly finished her performance. But unexpectedly, Hailey Williams didn't immediately say "I told you so" to Evan Bell. Instead, she stood there, supporting her right hand on the microphone, and pondered instead. It seems that Hayley Williams has also noticed a subtle difference.

A lot of people can't understand why a song takes so long in the studio, or why Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda actually wrote forty or fifty versions to write a song, because the gaps in the details of the music don't really matter. Not so obvious. But for professionals, to exaggerate, the difference of one rest can change the whole song.

To give a simple example, "Long live life (da), if this song is not accompanied by a symphony, but with a guitar or piano, the whole style of the song becomes a breeze, maybe a good work is still a good work, but just It's not a classic anymore. Also, imagine that the rhythm of "Long Live Life" is a bit faster. Maybe it's very suitable for performing in a concert, but in the studio, it will appear too rushed, too impatient, and the majestic momentum in the style of the song will be lost. It will be greatly reduced; if you slow down a beat, then the song will become gentle or even procrastinated, and the style of the song will change again. This is the charm of the arrangement, and the charm of the studio.

Therefore, Evan Bell adjusted half a beat to "the plane, but the repercussions were very obvious.

Suddenly, Evan Bell's eyes lit up, "End note!" At the same time, Hailey Williams also realized that although she didn't say it, it could be seen from her bright eyes that she and Evan -Bell was an idea, "one more time." Hayley Williams said right away.

Evan Bell re-tuned the rhythm back to the original, and then Hayley Williams started recording again, "Let's pretend that plane was flying freely in the night sky like a shooting star, I'm going to I can make a wish." This time, Hayley-Williams consciously extended the ending slightly after each line at the end of the sentence, and the effect presented immediately became clear.

Evan Bell only listened to the first sentence, and then got busy on the sound console. He stepped on his feet, and the boss chair moved to the front of the electronic metronome. Evan Bell began to add high-fives to the soundtrack. The created rhythm uses the strong and weak changes of this rhythm to highlight the light and heavy accents in Hayley Williams' singing.

The eyes of Epner Alfred and others also understood immediately, Evan Bell was right! Sure enough, there is still room for improvement in the previous recordings.

In fact, "Airplane, although the overall rhythm of this song is allegro, and the sound of the drums inside is also very enthusiastic, but the main instrument hidden behind the drums is the piano, and with the lyrics, you can feel the slow flow in the song. The loneliness. This kind of loneliness is not simply self-pity, but more of repression and awakening before rising again. This is a very complicated emotion. If the original interpretation method is used, this emotion will be modeled. The deep meaning of the song cannot be highlighted.

Evan Bell tried to use the control of the rhythm to reveal the connotation hidden under the melody~www.readwn.com~ but failed; but if relying on the control of Hayley Williams when singing, the overall feeling immediately became clear. And Evan Bell added the high-five effect, and through the control of strength and speed, the light and heavy accents were highlighted, and the effect was completely three-dimensional.

As a singer, Hailey-Williams obviously realized this subtle change, and her original persistence surged up immediately after she tried it.

Afterwards, when Hayley-Williams sang, she tried to incorporate Xueli's loss, but it was either too deliberate or too weak. After adjusting it twice, she couldn't find the feeling. But Evan Bell gave the thumbs up to Hayley Williams' attempt, which is clearly a development in the right direction.

After recording for an hour, there was still no effect at all, but obviously the atmosphere in the studio was very light. A smile finally appeared on Evan Bell's face, and Hailey Williams bravely admitted her just arbitrariness to the microphone, "Your judgment is correct, and it obviously feels better now."

Evan Bell has no intention of taking credit. "Your attempt is completely correct, let's try again."

There is this kind of benefit with professionals who really know how to do it. Even if the two sides get stuck, it is because of professional knowledge. Once the problem is solved, the sense of accomplishment will become the most wonderful tacit understanding between the two sides.
