Chapter 1521 1521 Cumbersome problems

Hugo and Fujin returned to the trailer excitedly, opened the car door but found that the other three were still sleeping. The two of them didn't care at all and kicked the three people down from the bed. Pedro even jumped up, "Earthquake! Earthquake!" The funny look really made people laugh.

But Hugo and Fujin didn't have time to laugh at Pedro. Fujin couldn't wait to shout, "Guys, guys, wake up!" Fujin also clapped his hands hard, and the crisp sound attracted the distraction of the three people. "Hugo just told me an idea, and I think this is really incredible."

This kind of Fu Jin is also abnormal. Not only did he take the initiative to steal the topic, but he was also accompanied by some exciting gestures. Compared to his usual silent image, it was really far apart. However, in Fu Jin's eyes, there was an extremely excited light, and the unprecedented fanaticism flowed in his blood.

Neil, Alfonso and Pedro were originally in a state of distraction. They were unable to help but concentrate when they woke up. However, listening to Fujin's calm and powerful voice, all their sleepiness disappeared involuntarily, and their eyes were bright and bright. After Fujin finished speaking, the three of them were stunned and stiff, with their faces full of surprise and stiffness, but the surging spirit in their eyes leaked their true emotions at this moment.

"Don't look at me, this is Hugo's idea." Fu Jin's words made the three people look at Hugo in unison like a remote-controlled robot. His incredible expression made Hugo laugh happily. Hugo waved his hand quickly, "Don't be excited, let's think about it carefully. This is not an easy task."

Great ideas, advanced ideas, and extraordinary ideas are also almost impossible to complete.

Everyone's expressions settled down, but Fujin looked at Neil, "Do you think it is possible to maximize the radio when using a high-sensitivity boom radio microphone outdoors?" He had some ideas, but needed Neil's verification and help.

Neil pondered for a while, "But once we don't have professional audio staff, if we operate it ourselves, the effect will definitely not be the best; and what about the microphone when Hugo sings, what should we do?"

"Dynamic microphone." Fojin replied simply, which made Hugo look sideways.

Hugo has limited knowledge of recording equipment, and many professional equipment in his memory come from the distant 2014, and he is not sure what equipment has appeared. Hugo originally thought of dynamic microphones. In fact, this microphone is the simplest to use, with a solid structure, stable performance, durable, low price, and relatively low noise. However, its high-frequency characteristics are relatively weak, so it is mainly widely used in karaokes, and more professional condenser microphones are used in the recording studio.

In an era when computer recording equipment was not yet popular, it was not impossible to record outdoors. In fact, it was enough to borrow the equipment used when filming movies on-site. But the biggest problem with these devices is that they are bulky and require professional control. Unlike in the future, only a laptop or a recording software can solve all complex problems.

The reason why Hugo wanted to record the third album on the road was not a complicated concept, but it was more of a belief that this method could fully express the spirit of glory to death. In fact, if Hugo and the others contacted EDA Records and mobilized a whole recording team, it would be equivalent to recording a live album. Moving the recording studio to each live, Hugo's idea could be realized, but this was contrary to Hugo's original intention. Hugo just wanted to rely on the band's own ability to complete it. Putting EDA Records aside and commercial factors, it was just recorded in the simplest way.

But this seems too difficult.

"Hugo, Hugo..." Neil's voice came over, allowing Hugo to come over from his contemplation and cast his sight. "Do you remember the process of our first road tour? We put our instruments and all our equipment in the car, moved them down every time we got to a place, and then performed live. We can still do this now, just want to record every performance we perform, we need recording equipment when shooting movies, so we need some help."

Hugo looked at Neil and signaled him to continue, "Actually, these recording equipment are not as complicated as we imagined. We can build a mobile recording studio on the trailer." Neil's idea lit up Hugo's eyes. "We put the most basic equipment needed for recording on the trailer, and then every time we go to a place, just like our first road tour, we will come out for a performance, use the high-sensitivity microphone boom to perform radio, and complete all post-production in the trailer."

"However, as you said, recording itself is not the most important thing. It is the most important thing to brew different recording effects in different environments, so choosing a location will be crucial." Fujin added, standing aside, "Maybe black residential areas are OK, but they are not suitable in Times Square."

Although this is a recording method to move the recording studio outdoors, if there is too much noise and noise, the recording effect will definitely be bad. Even the melody itself is submerged, so it cannot be considered music.

"So, we need someone responsible for recording." Neil concluded.

Hugo realized that his thoughts had been imprisoned by the convenience and simplicity of computer recording equipment, but he did not realize that even without light computer equipment, they could move basic recording equipment to a trailer and use their own strength to create a mobile recording studio. Those most basic recording equipment are actually not expensive or cumbersome. A few very simple devices can complete the recording work. Although the effect is not as good as a professional recording studio, it is enough to satisfy Hugo's idea.

But, as Neil said, they need someone who helps themselves complete the recording, and they are also people who grasp the quality of the recording.

"Shiran?" Pedro said, Sheeran Lekunen, the producer of the two albums before Glory to death.

But Neil shook his head, "Shiran may be willing to help us, but it is difficult for him to hide it from Eidai Records." After all, Xiran is a producer affiliated with Eidai Records, and his movements must be reported to the company.

"Neil, Fujin, I remember you said yesterday that you have learned a lot of recording skills before, right?" Alfonso said. As soon as this came out, everyone understood what Alfonso meant, and looked at Neil and Fujin in an instant. "I actually learned a lot of this knowledge before. If possible, the three of us could discuss together and try to complete the recording by ourselves."

In fact, Alfonso is the most versatile person in glory until death. He is not only responsible for guitar and keyboard, but also for the mixing of electronic metronomes. In addition, he also has some scattered instruments, including the post-production of lyrics such as "One.step.clo" and "Kill.heroes" and "Kill.heroes" and other lyrics.

However, Alfonso learned a lot, but he was not specialized. He knew a little about everything, but he was confused after understanding it in depth. Therefore, if Alfonso, Neil and Fujin worked together, discuss and make up for each other, and complete the recording is not impossible. What's more, their recording this time was not as delicate and harsh as in a professional studio, and the three cobblers were always worth one Zhuge Liang.

Pedro's eyes lit up immediately, "You three know the recording skills, and Hugo also has his own opinions on arrangements. We can completely rely on our own abilities to complete the recording."

Arrangement is a very important step in music production. In the process of music production, the production of each song is not so easy, and the whole process is very complicated. Simply put, it can be divided into processes such as composing, arranging, lyrics, recording, etc.

Composition is the initial stage, that is, writing basic tunes and music scores. This step depends more on talent. In fact, everyone hums a tune casually, which is the process of composing the music. However, most people cannot connect the notes completely and create a complete song. Composition can be learned, but even if you don’t learn, as long as you have musicality and talent, you can complete it.

Arrangement is different. Arrangement is to reorganize based on the basic melody, what beats are used as the base tone of the whole song, how to switch between the main song and the chorus, which instruments are used to express it, how to distinguish the instruments of the main song and the chorus, what kind of music are used to produce, etc. Arrangement requires professional music education and composition training to be completed.

It can be simply understood as such a process. A person hums a simple tune at will and thinks that this tune is very good, but because the tune cannot reflect the complete musical form and cannot determine the music content. And he has not received professional music education, he can invite professional arrangers to complete this task. Although it is not absolute, composition requires talent, and the professional knowledge of arrangement can be learned. Composition is the creation process, and arrangement is more like a process of commercializing creation.

Therefore, each song is divided into two parts: composer and arranger, composer, lyricist, arranger, producer, etc., which becomes the behind-the-scenes production group of the song.

Due to the professionalism and importance of the arrangement process, the producer is particularly important. Most of the music from Glory to Death is created by Hugo, and he almost participated in the arrangement process. However, in the first two albums, Sheeran's arrangement opinions have an indelible effect on the success of Glory to Death, because the professional knowledge required for arrangement is what Hugo lacks the most.

Now, until Glory dies, Hugo will shoulder the responsibility of arrangement alone, and Neil, Fokin and Alfonso will work together to shoulder the responsibility of recording, completing the incredible feat of recording the third album on the way. The impossible idea has already met the conditions for becoming possible!

"But, what am I going to do?" Pedro looked at his teammates in surprise, his pitiful eyes as if they were abandoned puppy.
