Chapter 15 Arranging, Recording Songs, Little Jerry
When Gu Qing came back, it was already half an hour later.
He carried the Porsche car keys to the elevator and felt that his life had reached its peak.
Driving a luxury car and living in a luxury house, this kind of experience is really not too beautiful.
Gu Qing was originally a little nostalgic for his 20-year-old youth, but now... he has begun to feel happy about his new life.
Humph, he unlocked the password door and looked at it. The room was empty.
Chen Xiaoyan was not in the living room, but Gu Qing thought about it and guessed where she was going. It must be a music room.
The tiger women are strong people. Since the two have already discussed recording songs, she will definitely practice secretly, trying to avoid mistakes or even pass them once.
I changed my shoes and walked into the room, walked into the music room, and saw Chen Xiaoyan standing in front of the microphone, singing very seriously.
Because of the lack of accompaniment, she didn't even bring her headset. She relied on her strong talent to form a music score in her mind and practiced continuously along with the imaginary melody.
I have to say that this is a very terrifying talent.
After Gu Qing came in, he did not disturb her. He sat silently at the table, looked at the group of musical instruments, and began to concentrate and contemplate.
Creating a song is far from as simple as imagined, and it is not enough to just write lyrics and compose music.
Although Gu Qing triggered the "wisdom root" effect yesterday, and inspiration exploded, he wrote lyrics and songs in one breath, compared to a complete work, those two things are actually just skeletons and have no soul.
Including the cat video recorded by Su Qianqian, it is also a rough product.
It’s not that there is something wrong with Chen Xiaoyan singing, but that it lacks serious accompaniment.
Gu Qing only took a guitar and played the main melody, which could not be called a song at all.
At most it is a demo.
To make "The Wind Rises" truly come alive, it will take a very long time and the most difficult process when writing songs - arrangement!
Yes, in addition to composition, there is also arrangement.
The two are completely different.
The composition only determines the main theme of a song, but the specific details, what style is used, etc., all depend on the skills of the arrangement.
Even the life and death of a song are determined by arrangement.
Arrangement is extremely time-consuming and is the most difficult part of songwriting.
For example, whether the melody is played on a piano or a guitar, what instrument is used for each part, who is first and who is later, these are issues that need to be paid attention to when arranging the music.
In addition, you should also consider what you have made up yourself. Is the overall expression suitable for singers and musicians?
All in all, very complicated.
Professional arrangers often sit in front of the computer for a day, but they don’t make any money, and they lose all their problems.
And now, Gu Qing is honored to experience this job.
He turned on the computer in front of the table. Perhaps he was playing music very well in the future. He subconsciously opened the arrangement software and then started to daze.
Arrangement is also about inspiration!
It is not enough to have the main theme alone, he needs more buffs.
I kept thinking about the feeling of writing songs yesterday. Gradually, Gu Qing could not hear the singing of Chen Xiaoyan. There were only one note after another in front of him. He felt that he had entered a mysterious and mysterious state.
[Skill "wisdom root" triggered]
At the same time, after finishing the practice of unknown number, Chen Xiaoyan looked at Gu Qing with a focused look and her eyes blinked slightly.
Of course she knew the process of making a song, so she was very clear about what Gu Qing was doing at this time.
Arrangement is difficult and very tiring, not to mention that there are also recording, mixing, mastering and other processes afterwards.
In contrast, the role the singer plays in the entire work is really slim.
Gu Qing's efforts in this song are far greater than her.
Thinking of this, a hint of guilt suddenly emerged in Chen Xiaoyan's heart, and there was still some emotion that she couldn't understand. She blinked her big eyes and stared at her future husband.
In the end, she simply stopped disturbing the other party and quietly left the music room with a pounding heart.
And Gu Qing just sat motionless like a wooden carving.
But there are countless inspirations in my mind that are constantly bursting out.
I don’t know how long it took, but he put his hands on the keyboard and mouse and started creating.
This time I bowed my head and then looked up, it took a whole day.
Saving the final version of the arrangement, Gu Qing stretched and glanced at the lower right corner of the screen.
19:26.
Gu Qing was stunned, then stood up with a "live" look, his face changing.
He actually sat in the room for so long!
Where is the little cheer?
If she can't wait for her father after school, she should cry, right?
Gu Qing suddenly felt his hands and feet numb, as anxious as if he had lost something important, so he turned around and wanted to leave the music room.
But when this movement, the figure couldn't help but pause again.
Because there was a large bowl of rice bowl, a cup of warm water, and a pair of chopsticks on the table behind me.
There was also a note under the rice bowl, with beautiful handwriting on it.
"You are busy with your child, I'll pick you up."
At the end, there was also a silly smiling face.
Gu Qing was a little dazzled when he saw this scene, and the memories began to surging in his mind. Finally, he remembered that his inspiration was at its peak and when he was very selfless in his investment, Chen Xiaoyan seemed to have come in once.
However, his attention was all about arrangement at that time, and he ignored it and did not look back.
Now that I remembered the whole story, a ripples appeared in my heart inexplicably.
Why did the tiger women who are not in dealing with me all the time suddenly become so gentle?
whispering sound!
Who cares about it?
Gu Qing thought without appreciation, but the corner of his mouth couldn't help but raise it, picked up the bowl of rice bowl that had already cooled down, and began to swallow it voraciously.
Until I ate all of them and didn't have a grain of rice left, I drank the cup of no longer warm water, turned around and started to make the next item in my liver.
recording!
With arrangement, it is equivalent to writing a novel with a detailed outline, and various musical instruments are the pens, which need to be filled in step by step.
Recording is a professional job, and the angle of each microphone next to the instrument is placed, the distance, height and height.
In addition, the requirements for hard facilities such as the size of the recording studio, the venue environment, and the audio structure are also very high. If you want to build a qualified recording studio, you can't get a few million.
Fortunately, in the past few years when Chen Xiaoyan was very popular, the album sales were very good and he made a lot of money, so the music room at home, which was built with huge sums of money, was completely in line with the requirements.
This saves Gu Qing from going out to find a professional venue.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Qing took out a few instruments and started recording according to the plan in his mind.
In fact, you can also find a professional band to do this step. In fact, many songs do this when making them.
But the situation in Gu Qing's family is really special. If you want to find a band, you must use your future connections. When those acquaintances come, they will be more likely to reveal flaws.
What's more, interpersonal communication is a complicated process. The band circle in Chenhai City is so big. Who knows whether it has a festival with its future self?
So to be on the safe side, Gu Qing still planned to work harder and do it alone.
This busy work has passed by another five or six hours.
If you are not satisfied with recording many instruments once, you have to start over, which really tests patience.
Among them, drum sets are the most difficult. Each drum and cymbal must have a microphone on it, and two microphones must be on the head of the entire drum set. The distance and height must be adjusted many times before the most suitable point is found.
So much so that when Gu Qing was recording drums, he once wore a mask of pain.
Fortunately, now everything is over.
Looking at the achievements after he made the stage, Gu Qing felt a lot of accomplishment.
Now all that is left is vocal recording, as well as the final mix and mastering, which are not difficult, and will be done tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
Or maybe it can be done with a sharp blow today.
Just as Gu Qing was thinking about what to do, the door creaked quietly.
I saw a little head with a bun, sneaking in, as if Jerry had entered Yonekura.
Then, Jerry and Gu Qing's eyes that looked like fools collided.
