Chapter 378 Process(1/2)

The two acted quickly. Zhong Ying also tried his best to make preliminary preparations for Yang Jingxing's post-production reverberation requirements. No pop-up windows and quick updates. Yang Jingxing said that there was no need to do post-production and he could simply record one track.

Yang Jingxing was holding his guitar inside and getting ready, and Zhong Ying was also preparing in front of the workbench, waiting for the rare opportunity to solemnly turn on the recording light with his own hands.

But after Yang Jingxing started, Zhong Ying became less professional than Chang Yiming. He became the audience from beginning to end without expressing any opinions or even raising a finger.

A few seconds after Yang Jingxing finished playing and singing, Yingying remembered and quickly turned off the lights and gave Yang Jingxing a thumbs up behind the glass.

Yang Jingxing went out and said, "Thank you."

Zhong Ying smiled a little obscenely, nodded vigorously and sighed: "Sharp... what kind of beauty?"

Yang Jingxing was embarrassed: "I'll thank you later."

Zhongying sincerely wishes: "Who can bear to win for sure!?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Listen once."

After hearing it again, Zhong Ying was so excited that she rubbed her palms together with envy and resentment: "It's so cool. It's so effortless to pick up girls as a musician... Do you have any photos?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Not now."

Zhong Ying looked behind him and whispered in anticipation: "Is Cheng Yaoyao as beautiful as her?"

Yang Jingxing turned around and said hello: "Hello, Sister Yaoyao."

Zhong Ying is not a fool: "You can scare me."

Yang Jingxing asked, "Engrave one, Teacher Chang will be here soon."

Zhong Ying prepared for a while and then asked: "Let's do some reverb, really make it a bit of a theater effect, swish..." and talked about his great idea.

Yang Jingxing was worried: "It's really a private matter. If it doesn't work out, I'll be sorry for you."

Zhong Ying scolded: "How is that possible! Is he a student? This person is blocking the killer Buddha, blocking the killer soldiers, and covering up the water and the earth... I will make sure not to be discovered after I get off work."

Yang Jingxing said: "Forget it, it's too late..."

Zhong Ying insisted eagerly: "Why is it too late? You leave now? I will do it for you at noon and before get off work... I always thought I was practicing my skills!"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Thank you very much. Let's have dinner together at noon."

Zhong Ying happily said politely: "Okay."

When Yang Jingxing returned to the studio, Pang Xi had already arrived and was spraying water on the plants. A cup of hot tea was also placed on the desk.

Pang Xi, who was originally hunched over, changed to a squatting position and reported: "Dai Qing came over yesterday when I got off work and didn't say anything."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "I made an appointment with Zhong Ying to have lunch together. We'll go together when we have time."

Pang Xi nodded and stood up and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yang Jingxing said: "He did me a favor."

Pang Xi asked again: "And Teacher Chang?"

Yang Jingxing said: "It depends on the situation."

Pang Xi nodded: "Okay."

It didn't take long for Dai Qing to come. She was still dressed beautifully in stockings and short skirt, and seemed to be ready to follow Cheng Yaoyao's route. However, her face looked a bit dazzling without the delicate makeup and false eyelashes.

After the two were polite as if they had met for the first time, Dai Qing said, "I wanted to have dinner with you yesterday afternoon, but you had already left when I came."

Yang Jingxing said: "I left early yesterday. I found a few musicians to choose for you to take a look at."

The list has been made, and they are all qualified musicians. Yang Jingxing also listed the works they have participated in recording at Hongxing.

There are many people who are good at playing musical instruments, but very few can enter a professional studio. Because the saying "time is money" is even more true in a recording studio. Once the studio is opened, no owner is willing to spend money waiting for the musicians to get familiar with practicing there.

In this aspect, it is better for Hongxing to have its own studio, as long as it is not rented out, there is not much pressure. The musicians who maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with Hongxing are basically divided into two groups, one is the top in the industry, and the other is professional and outstanding.

Gan Kai told Yang Jingxing that Dai Qing's position in Hongxing Company could not allow musicians to be paid tens of thousands of yuan per song, so he could not select all the top performers.

When Yang Jingxing selected people, he made some considerations based on style, which also reduced costs.

Dai Qing looked a little pleased and said that he was familiar with the two people who had both worked together.

Yang Jingxing was happy: "I don't even know you if you introduce him to me."

Dai Qing comforted: "I'm sure everyone knows about you."

According to the procedure, Yang Jingxing asked Pang Xi to send the list of musicians to Gan Kai for review and approval, and he and Dai Qing discussed the songs again.

Dai Qing said that he had some new discoveries and feelings, and after listening to them, Yang Jingxing confirmed that they were relatively good and correct feelings.

Pang Xi came back soon and said that Gan Kaicheng had signed the contract but asked Yang Jingxing to contact him. Yang Jingxing asked Pang Xi to go to Chang Yiming to get the recent schedule of the recording studio and then make plans with Dai Qing.

Dai Qing also knows what should be recorded first and then what to record for an accompaniment, and the studio has only had enough time to record a few external advertising songs recently.

After the plan was completed, Yang Jingxing asked Dai Qing to go ahead and contact the musicians. Dai Qing was willing to help contact the two people she knew.

Yang Jingxing said, "No need, I'll do my part. You can just sing."

Dai Qingxiao: "Thank you, then I'll leave first."

Yang Jingxing contacted the musicians one by one and basically got Jiu Yang's schedule without any major problems.

The musicians were also professional and wanted to get the score immediately and start getting familiar with it. Yang Jingxing gave this task to Pang Xi.

In the afternoon, Yang Jingxing had a lot of time to do Tong Yichun's work. Now every song has to be analyzed in detail. Choosing an arrangement style cannot be just casually said with an organized basis.

It was almost lunch time and Yang Jingxing went to the recording department. Chang Yiming and Zhong Ying had just finished their work and were seeing a few people off. Since they had met, they introduced Yang Jingxing to a slightly famous actress and a department manager of a large advertising company. The other party also knew about it.

What does 402 look like?

Yang Jingxing, the person who was seeing him off, said to Chang Yiming: "Your apprentice did me a favor. Master and apprentice, please have lunch with Teacher Chang as a reward."

Chang Yiming said politely: "Then you go."

Yang Jingxing begged: "I can't say that you helped me so much before, right?"

Chang Yiming chuckled: "Where is Lao Gan?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I called him."

So there were six people for lunch. Chang Yiming and Gan Kaicheng both felt that there was no need to go to great lengths to find a decent place nearby. They still had to do things in the afternoon.

Yang Jingxing was not familiar with it. In the end, Pang Xi suggested a restaurant. Lan Jingyue supported it and the men did not object. Chang Yiming drove his apprentice Gan Kaicheng and was too lazy to take his secretary in the back seat of Yang Jingxing.

It was only a few minutes away, but Pang Xi still called to book a private room first.

Gan Kaicheng praised: "Pang Xi is becoming more and more capable."

Before Pang Xi could be humble, Lan Jingyue became jealous: "It's a pity that we will change!"

Pang Xihehe Lan Jingyue asked: "Do you have any objections to Si Liao Er?"

Yang Jingxing said: "You are welcome to come, but Pang Xi cannot leave."

Gan Kaicheng and Lan Jingyue were angry: "You are so greedy... Ling Wei, do you want it?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "I dare not."

Lan Jingyue sighed: "A woman with a good face means a good life."

Yang Jingxing was curious: "How did Manager Gan keep you?"



During the meal, Gan Kaicheng listened to Yang Jingxing's envisioned recording plan for "Death and Life" and asked Chang Yiming to be more careful with Yang Jingxing. After all, he was still a novice.

Yang Jingxing was modest: "I will learn from Teacher Zhong first and then I will learn from Teacher Chang."

Zhong Ying is more modest: "If I want to learn half of what you do, I will..."

Lan Jingyue waited impatiently: "Just what?"

Zhong Ying shook his head: "It's a pity that I can't learn."

After a simple meal, we returned to the company at one o'clock. Everyone took a short break in the recording department. Yang Jingxing called Qi Qingnuo for ten minutes and then started the official recording of "Dead and Alive". The first step was to record the section number and beat.

The functions of the beat metronome and the bar number track are similar, which is equivalent to using this track as the standard for several instrumental and vocal tracks after one coordinate.

People used to think it was funny that some singers record a song line by line. Now they have been recorded one by one. The unsingable sounds can be removed by software and there are almost no flaws. What is difficult is that post-production must make these seamlessly.

There must be a reference coordinate to connect.

Of course, Hongxing doesn’t record singers one by one. The ones who dare and are able to record one by one are those who don’t need to perform live and are very big names.

"Death and Resurrection" is a song with changing beats, with 42 beats and 43 beats, and it is a cross change. Yang Jingxing and Chang Yiming made this thing, and Gan Kai asked supervisor Zhong Ying to watch.

Yang Jingxing knew that some places had special requirements and had to be made specially. Chang Yiming obeyed and Gan Kaicheng did not question it. Because Yang Jingxing knew it by heart and was confident enough, he didn't even need to read the score, so although it was cumbersome, it was done quickly.

After finishing it, we checked it together against the music score. When Dai Qing came, he silently felt it against the beat track and felt that it was fine.

Then Pang Xi came to inform Yang Jingxing that the first musician had arrived on time.

At Studio 402, Gan Kai made an introduction to let Yang Jingxing and the drummer get to know each other for a while before finding an excuse to leave. The old drummer was about forty years old and had been in the profession for more than ten years. He was a professional among professionals.

The drummer envied the equipment of Studio 402 and thanked Pang Xi for the coffee. Yang Jingxing asked the other party for more guidance, after all, he was a junior in terms of age and qualifications.

It only took about ten minutes to be polite and then the musician wanted to do something: "Let's listen to it first. Is there a MIDI bar?"

Yang Jingxing played the accompaniment he made with a synthesizer.
