Chapter 541 The Birth of a Song

The birth of a song is divided into five stages: lyrics, arrangement, recording, mixing, and mastering.

The birth of lyrics and music, the time is very uncontrollable, maybe half a day, maybe half a month, maybe even half a year, depending on the inspiration of the songwriter.

After the first stage has passed, the next time is basically controllable.

Lyrics, music and arrangement Su Tong had already done it in the system space. If he was willing to spend points, he could complete the next three stages together, but he didn't want to keep doing this, which would easily arouse suspicion from others.

What's more, the company has a recording studio configuration, and suddenly took out a master tape, which made the people below feel embarrassed.

The recording studio has [-] kinds of instruments, such as guitar, bass, piano, violin, drum kit, etc., and is well-equipped. As Su Tong's sound engineer, I am very happy.

Because few people can master several instruments at the same time.

This kind of mastery is not a mastery to show off on stage, but a mastery to be recorded in the mix.

The Nian Nujiao recording studio does not need to hire an arranger, nor does it need to hire individual musicians to operate the instruments.

Su Tong can take it all by himself.

There are a few more people like Su Tong, and I don't know how many music behind-the-scenes people lost their jobs. Although the behind-the-scenes musicians earn very little, their income varies from time to time.

"Gege." Su Tong entered the recording studio, and the sound engineer greeted him. He was a young man in his 30s, married, and had a son and a daughter. His wife, Su Tong, had seen her before, and she was quite beautiful.

It may not be possible to do other things in music. Picking up girls is really good. It is easy to get in touch with beautiful women in this industry, and there are many beautiful women who like to make music.

"Brother Xi." Su Tong said hello with a smile.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the little devil came in from the outside.

There are now three people in the recording studio.

"Sister Su." The sound engineer looked older than the little devil's assistant, but he respectfully called her Little Devil's sister.

Because the little devil's incarnate assistant is so powerful, playing various musical instruments, his physical strength is stronger than that of a man, Xi Ge used to wonder why Su Tong hired such an assistant to help.

After the thing that weighed dozens of catties was easily picked up by the little devil, Brother Xi didn't say anything. This helper is worth a few men.

"Thanks for your hard work, Xi Ge, you can just come and debug, and leave the rest to us." Su Tong and the little devil carried the instrument, with more than a dozen microphones facing the instrument.

Piano, guitar, drums, instrument by instrument.

After a single instrument is recorded, it is time to mix the sound, placing each part of the music in a different spatial position to make the music sound more pleasant.

To put it bluntly, the ultimate goal of mixing is to make music sound as consistent and pleasant as possible in different playback environments and devices.

After the mix was done, the vocals were recorded.

"It's so fucking good, I recorded this, shit." Xi Ge was very excited, and he became high before the song was recorded.

Recording songs with Su Tong, the process is so refreshing, less trouble and repetition.

The recording went very smoothly, and some instruments were recorded in the morning.

At noon, Su Tong took Xi Ge to have lunch with Qian Dali and Wang Xiaohu, but Xi Ge didn't want to go and wanted to record it right away.

Qian Dali and Wang Xiaohu knew that Su Tong was recording a song, and they were also curious, so they wanted to help and do coolies.

"This is how a song is born." When they came to the recording studio, Qian Dali and Wang Xiaohu had seen it.

Interlaced across mountains.

Xi Ge doesn't understand the process of filming, and Wang Xiaohu and Qian Dali also don't understand the process of recording a song.

"Can two or three people record it?" During the break, Qian Dali asked curiously.

Xi Ge laughed and said, "You think too much. If Ge Ge didn't know how to play an instrument, how many people would we have to invite? Look, one for bass, one for drummer, one for piano..."

"Um." Wang Xiaohu and Qian Dali's eyes widened. They knew that Su Tong could write songs, but they didn't know that he was involved so much behind the scenes.

They thought that it was already unnatural for Su Tong to participate in so many tasks when making a movie, but they didn't expect the same to be the case for recording songs.

Nima, is this still human?

The more Qian Dali and Wang Xiaohu thought about it, the more terrifying they felt, how could there be such a person in the world.

In the past, they thought that many of Su Tong's songs, the lyrics and music might not have been written by Su Tong, and they were just bought under his name. They didn't expect this to be true, even the recording instruments were played by him.

"The lyrics and music, arrangement, and grid are all done. Come over and play a few times and start recording. It's very fast. Usually it takes several people to discuss for a few days before finalizing." Xi Ge admired Su Tong completely.

"Gege, how did you have so much time and energy to learn this?" Wang Xiaohu couldn't help asking.

"Musical instruments are interlinked, and they can understand everything." Su Tong said nonsense.

"Really?" Wang Xiaohu and Qian Dali were not familiar with Su Tong's character, so they really believed it.

Xi Ge shook his long hair, rolled his eyes and said, "That's for Ge Ge, don't you really believe it. Ge Ge alone can support more than a dozen people, recording songs really doesn't cost much, it's a lucrative business."

After a whole day of tossing, at nine o'clock in the evening, in a hurry, the song that Su Tong gave to the fans finally came out.

This is a song that came to life because of what happened after this interview.

Xi Ge understood and was amazed.

It's easy to come by, a genius is a genius, which fits Su Tong's current situation very well.

"What happened?" On the way out of the company, Qian Dali and Wang Xiaohu asked Xi Ge. They had been filming locations and didn't pay attention to the Internet.

They just think this song is very nice, like a song written for first love, the melody is refreshing, the lyrics are warm, they lose love but don't express hatred, they still have love in their hearts.

Xi Ge briefly talked about what happened in the past two days, Qian Dali and Wang Xiaohu were in a daze.

Looking at the lyrics again, it turns out that this is not written for the first love, but for Su Tong's fans, especially those girls who can't think about it.

"The heart will overflow with love." Qian Dali and Wang Xiaohu sigh, they are also engaged in art.

Su Tong is not the kind of person who wears sheep's clothing on the surface but is a ferocious wolf in his heart.

It is not the truth that the text is like a person, and many readers have been deceived by the poet's literal feelings.

Some poets have beautiful writing, romantic sentiments, and seem innocent, but in fact they are extremely selfish, self-centered, and extremely ignorant machismo.

"Let's drop by. I'll drive you to the hotel. Ge Ge is far away." Xi Ge asked to send Qian Dali and Wang Xiaohu to the hotel where they were staying. He had a car.

Su Tong didn't refuse either, it was time to talk, and today he also took the time to chat with Qian Dali and Wang Xiaohu.

The work plan has always been arranged. Today is just a meeting. It is far away from the celebration, and we will celebrate after the completion.

"I've been busy all day with my staff, and now I'm just out of the recording studio. In the early hours of tonight, I'll give you a song. It's not free, but I will try my best to ask the company to lower the price. Thank you everyone. "Before driving, Su Tong sent a microwave.

The master tape has been handed over to the relevant personnel for relay, and Su Tong doesn't care about the rest.
