American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 19 Sawtooth Wave (Three more chapters, please read later)

Coming out of the police station, Ryan saw Marvin hugging the beautiful Central American girl and coming to the front of the car. The driver had already gotten out of the car and took the initiative to open the door for him. Marvin then got in the car and drove away.

"He has represented the performance business of many well-known DJs. He is very dedicated, but he is a bit ostentatious, as you can see." Dead Rat shrugged.

Ryan turned around and told Abigail that he would be a guest performer at Dead Mouse. Abigail was of course happy for Ryan and said that she would go to the music festival if tickets were still available.

Then Ryan got on the car with the Dead Rat group, and Abigail and her classmates continued to travel in Panama City.

Not long after they separated, Abigail received a phone call.

"You're coming too? I thought you didn't have time." Abigail exclaimed.

A moment later, Ryan followed Dead Rat and his group back to the lounge behind Harpoon Harry's Bar. No one had cleaned the room during this period, and the room remained in the same state as before, a mess, with tables and chairs overturned, cables and PCB boards broken, and a few drops of blood splattered on the ground.

In its current state, the dead rat will definitely not be able to attend the Beach Bash music festival today.

"Let's cancel the nightclub performance at Daytona Beach tomorrow night. We have to rehearse for the performance at the Ultra Music Festival." Dead Rat looked at the messy room and said.

"Can I come to you in the evening? Baby, I have to work now." Dead Rat's assistant said to the bikini girl beside him.

The remaining bikini girl was also asked to leave. The assistant went out to find a few helpers to clean up the room, while Dead Mouse discussed the visual animation issues with another assistant.

“Now there’s no need for additional animation control, and no need to synchronize with the helmet, so the VJ’s job is actually much easier.” The man nodded.

VJ and DJ have similar names. Originally, it referred to those who played music videos on commercial music TV channels such as MTV, VH1, MuchMusic and Channel V, namely video jockeys. Later, it was extended to staff members who were responsible for stage effects. The high-sounding term is: real-time visual designer. The down-to-earth term is: those who make big-screen visual effects animation.

DJs often perform in nightclubs, and have requirements for sound, light, and painting. Well-known DJs have dedicated personnel responsible for exclusive animation visual effects, including a complete set of visual systems, which will be used in MVs and even single covers, forming a "visual business card" for DJs. This trend has spread in the circle, and now the work of VJs and DJs is highly integrated. There is a special VJ exchange branch at the Winter Music Conference.

"Then what about him?" Dead Rat pointed at Ryan next to him.

"Don't you understand what Marvin means?" The VJ laughed. "Just let him stand there as a mascot. He doesn't even need to stand there all the time. He just needs to show his face at the beginning."

The dead mouse thought about it and nodded.

"Actually, I have acting experience, I can..." Ryan started quickly.

But neither the dead mouse nor the VJ gave Ryan a chance to speak and went straight to the next topic.

Ryan soon realized that although he was allowed to participate in the discussion, he did not actually have a chance to speak.

Ryan planned to recommend his own music to Dead Mouse tonight. Maybe he would change his mind after listening to it.

"Can I use this computer?" Ryan pointed to another intact laptop on the table.

Perhaps thinking that Ryan was a little bored staying here, the dead mouse nodded and entered the password to help Ryan unlock the door.

At this time, Ryan discovered that compared with the thin and silver Apple laptop, this all-black laptop had a very cool ice blue backlit keyboard, and an alien head logo under the screen flickered with the breathing light.

The degree of clutter on the desktop was comparable to the one at Terry's house. However, Ryan found that there were many programming-related tutorials on the desktop. It was obvious that Dead Mouse was not only a DJ, but also a programmer.

Ryan then discovered a large number of video games in his computer. "Crysis", "BioShock", "COD4" and "Metro 2033" are all recent stand-alone masterpieces, as well as online games such as "WOW".

In addition to this, it also includes photos of various hardware, as well as internal design drawings of the Rat Helmet.

Through the Dead Mouse, Ryan could clearly feel that he was most likely a "tech geek".

Then Ryan unexpectedly found a test version of "FL Studio" in a corner. As a veteran DAW software, FL also has many fans. With a curious mindset, Ryan entered it and immediately saw a separate test version plug-in in the software, signed by Dead Mouse. Through the sound wave logo, Ryan immediately realized that it was a sound effect plug-in.

He looked up at this moment and saw Dead Mouse still discussing with the VJ and the assistant, so he quietly picked up the headphones and plugged them into the computer.

After a simple attempt, Ryan immediately became excited. Although this plug-in is very cumbersome to operate, it has a high degree of freedom and can customize almost any sound effect!

In other words, you can create the special sound that you have in your mind.

However, since the engineering files of different software are not interoperable, Ryan can only make a new version of Termor from scratch.

Time passes minute by minute.

"It's decided. The original opening recording will be deleted and replaced with an explanation of the accident. The high school student will also appear at the beginning, first performing a LIVE PA (live performance through a sampler, similar to playing the electronic keyboard), and then playing a song. If it is his own complete work, then play his own music. If not, play my old songs. Um... Ryan, what do you think?" The dead mouse was stunned for a moment before he remembered Ryan's name.

There was no response in the quiet room, only the crisp "clicking" sound of Ryan constantly pressing the mouse.

"Why are you like Zimmerman, forgetting everything when playing games?" The assistant muttered, walked behind Ryan, and was stunned.

"Zimmerman, you have to see this!" the assistant suddenly said nervously.

The dead mouse also approached Ryan, and when he saw the screen clearly, he realized that Ryan was actually making music.

It seems like just borrowing a computer, but for a DJ, letting others operate his commonly used software is no different from a woman being forced to ride a wooden horse and parade through the streets in the Middle Ages. The strong sense of exposure is unbearable for him.

So he took off Ryan's headphones and prepared to close the software directly.

"No, you have to listen to this." Ryan quickly grabbed the mouse and pressed the play button.

Although the laptop's speakers were weak, with no bass at all, and the treble was extremely fuzzy and the sound was severely distorted, the industrial-feeling prelude appeared, accompanied by a repetitive beeping effect, and several groups of voices worked together to create a concerto effect that suddenly stunned the three people present.

In the interlude, the hoarse and distorted effect made the main instrument sound more unexpected. Ryan couldn't help but smile at this moment. This was exactly the unique sound effect he needed at the beginning, "harsh and thick", "rough and sharp", "with a certain degree of distortion and saturation".

At the same time, the dead mouse opened its mouth slightly. Before pressing the play button, he had never thought that there were such sound effects in the world.

"Is this what you just created?" asked the dead mouse in a low voice.

Ryan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the plug-in interface. Seeing the sound wave showing a special sawtooth-like waveform, he suddenly had an idea.

"How about calling it Sawtooth Wave?" Ryan tried.

Meanwhile, Ryan's remade music only gets to the progressive part before it stops abruptly.

“Because of the different software, I had to start over, and the vocal samples were still in the computer in Nashville, so I couldn’t produce the climax part in a short time,” Ryan said.

"Nashville, can I call your family and ask them to upload it?" Dead Mouse spoke slowly.

"There may be no one at home." Ryan shook his head. Trae was on a business trip again, shooting the MV of "That Song In My Head" for a female singer named Julian Hough.

"Is that so... If it's convenient, I'll have my assistant take the nearest commercial flight to Nashville and bring the sample over for you." Dead Rat continued, apparently hoping that Ryan could complete the official version of Tremor tonight.
