Superstar

"I mean, your voice's interpretation of the melody is amazing. This is very rare." Mark did not understand Hugo's ridicule, and still explained it seriously. It can be seen that he is a hardworking man. A diligent person, "However, I'm not sure about your performance after entering the studio. Many people have a good voice, but after entering the studio, they don't know how to control it, so you can't become a singer."

Mark’s honesty makes Hugo feel very comfortable. At least it can be seen that Mark is the kind of personality that works on the ground. "I will overlap the **** on the index finger." It means to pray, "Then why don't we give it a try? ? If there is something that can be improved or learned, it is necessary to make full use of the time."

Mark immediately nodded and agreed with Hugo's words, "Go into the recording studio, let you adjust to the whole atmosphere." After watching Hugo enter the recording studio, Mark walked to the sound console, but again Thinking of something, he turned back and said to Joseph, "If you feel bored, you can go out and stroll around. There are still many recreational facilities here."

Joseph is a film manager who knows almost nothing about music. He was still in a daze. When Mark said this, he waved his hand again and again, "It's okay, it's okay, just ignore me, you just work." He sat on the sofa nervously. superior. It’s not like a familiar set here. The professional and unfamiliar equipment makes Joseph full of pressure, but at the same time Joseph is also very curious about Hugo’s performance in the studio.

In other words, Mark quickly turned his attention to Hugo. After sitting down in front of the sound console, he pressed the huge red button on the right hand side and said to the microphone in front of him, " Hugo, bring a headset, yes, that's it." The microphone's voice came out through the speaker above the recording studio, indicating Hugo's actions, "I will play the music first, you listen to the effect, and then you try to follow the music. Singing into the microphone, this is the effect of recording. Let's try it again and say it again."

Hugo made a "no problem" gesture to Mark. Hugo is not unfamiliar with these procedures in the recording studio. Not only was it because he had a recording experience in the past, but also because he had seen the actors not live when he was running a masterpiece. The radio was dubbed later, so although he has not recorded and sung himself, the process is still very clear.

　　 The sound of music soon came from the earphone. This is not purely the sound of instrumental performance, but the master tape of Hugo's own singing. To put it simply, it is like karaoke, playing the music directly in the ear, and then asking the singer to sing. But the difference between the recording studio and karaoke is that after the singer puts on the headset, he isolates his ears from the voice. The microphone strips off all the attachment factors of the singer’s voice and presents it in a fruity manner. , Expose all the advantages and disadvantages of sound.

　　 The recording studio is more terrible than a cappella. Because at least the singer can hear his own voice during a cappella, and can control the rhythm and pitch. This is why many singers do not like to wear a headset when performing live singing. Although the headset can eliminate the noisy factor of the scene, the soundtrack is the most direct It reaches the singer's ears most clearly, but it also affects the singer's own control of the sound. In the recording studio, singers have no way to control their own voices, and rely solely on the most primitive musical sense to perform.

　　 In short, the recording studio is a complete presentation of the singer's most basic abilities, whether he has talent, how much talent, strengths and weaknesses, etc., are presented in a variety of ways.

　　Of course, the existence of the recording studio is to make up for the shortcomings of the singer's voice and present the best condition. Even the out of tune, broken sound, etc. can be repaired to a certain extent through the adjustment of the sound track in the recording studio. This is why some people are called studio singers, because their live performance is terrible, and they can only sing by lip-synching and playing the sound source of the studio.

In the 21st century, the role of the recording studio has been brought to its extreme. People even joked that "dogs or pigs can become singers". Many idol singers have only one face and, in serious cases, even lack of tone. I can only choose to rap, but the studio conceals all their shortcomings, and can also become a regular singer for albums.

In Hugo's view, a truly outstanding singer must perform well in the studio, because this is the medium that maximizes the advantages of the singer, and recording will also become the most extensive means of publicity; but at the same time, the live performance must be sufficiently exciting. The same song can be performed with different flavors according to different scenes, which will not disappoint the sincerity of all audiences when they arrive at the scene to listen.

In fact, if he had a choice, Hugo would be more willing to be a band, because he has been a member of the band for the past ten years. Now it feels very weird to ask him to appear in the studio alone, let alone let Hugo. It's really hard to get used to being directly in the position of the lead singer.

　　 So, when Hugo tried to sing for the first time, he was suddenly embarrassed.

　　 Hugo felt something abnormal when he made a sound, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, because the headset blocked his own voice, but he raised his eyes and glanced, and he saw Joseph's stunned look. But Mark appeared very calm, there was no special expression on his face, he was still studying carefully, until Hugo took the initiative to stop, Mark paused the music.

　　 "Hugo, listen to the performance of this passage." Mark did not scold Hugo, but cut the soundtrack directly, and then played Hugo's singing directly in the studio.

Hugo was startled when he heard his voice just now, because people always feel unfamiliar with his own voice, and more importantly, there are four notes in the lyrics that Hugo sang just now, and the ending sound There is a drag tone of "Oh". Hugo actually sang three incompatible scales in succession. It is really not easy to get to this level of out-of-tune. Such a performance is not comparable to even an amateur singer.

　　 But Hugo didn't feel ashamed. Instead, he laughed. If such music is recorded, let alone others, even he himself will be smashed by the disc. It's like watching "American Idol". People who sing so out of tune that no one can tell the original song insist that they are musical geniuses. This is ridiculous and funny.

　　 Seeing Hugo's presumptuous smile, Joseph finally didn't hold back and laughed. Even Mark, who wanted to be serious, couldn't help but laugh.

"Hugo, you care about music too much. Your attention is focused on music. You should pay attention to your singing." Mark pressed the red button again and said to Hugo, "You know, except just now In addition to the sound, you are half a beat. Because you have been scrupulous about the music and want to take the initiative to fit the music, you have lost control of the sound. In fact, music is only a point, and the real singing should go with the flow. It flows naturally, as long as you have a sufficient understanding of music, and you focus on your singing and sing freely, there will be no problem."

　　Mark didn't say anything technically, but just let Hugo focus on his singing. Hugo thought for a while, stretched out his index finger, and motioned to him to try again. Mark didn't say much, and immediately played the music.

For the second time, Hugo was still not sure of his state. He always felt distracted by the music in his ears, as if two people in his head were talking at the same time. The two voices should be synchronized, but there is always one voice. To cater to another voice, so the pace is always very tense, and if you don't pay attention, you will make mistakes.

"Let me listen." Hugo asked for a trial. As he expected, the voice was too tight and the whole concert sounded dry. Although the sound was not so severe, it still missed two notes. The rhythm is also slightly messy. "Give me a few minutes." Hugo said into the microphone.

　　 In fact, Hugo is not a rookie in the studio, but he has not been the core of the recording before. Hugo began to recall the feeling in the studio. In fact, standing in the studio is no different from normal singing. The most important thing is to integrate yourself into the music and sing along the melody. The music in the headset is not a guide, but an accompaniment.

Really smart singers will not step on the beat of the music, nor do they need to beat the beat to control their singing in the process of singing~www.readwn.com~ Instead, they will imprint the rhythm and melody of the music in their heads, and then they will be fluent. Deduct it out. On the contrary, when singing live, the singer will also change the tune, rhythm, singing method, etc. because of the atmosphere of the scene, so as to deduce the unique version of the song that is different for each scene.

　　 Hugo seemed to have some tricks, but he was not sure whether it was correct, so he took off one side of the headset, just pressed it to the side, and said to Mark, "Try again."

　　 Mark didn't play the music directly, but pressed the red button and said, "Relax, don't deliberately control it, just imagine how you usually sing." Then he started playing music.

"Next time you meet me, things won’t be the same again." Hugo closed his eyes. He could hear the music flowing slowly in his left ear, and he could perceive his own voice like the strings of a guitar in his right ear. It vibrates slightly, which feels good, as if lying in the shade of a tree in a summer afternoon and watching the sun lightly sway among the leaves.

Unknowingly, Hugo finished singing the first four bars of the song, and Mark outlined an arc on his face, "Very good. This time it is very good." Hugo finally showed a smile on his face, which shows that The knack he found was correct, "But you are still nervous, and the emotions are not expressed. The master tape you sent me is much more expressive. You should let go of your hands and feet and don't be restricted by the studio."

"You must know that you are a very good singer, and the recording studio is a place where you can amplify your strengths, so do it boldly and show your strengths." Mark continued to encourage Hugo to the microphone, making Hugo tight. The stretched heartstring finally slackened slightly.
