At nine o'clock the next morning, Jennifer came to pick up Bai Lu to go to the recording studio.

As a world-class star, Jennifer is very white-faced and does everything herself.

It was still a big recreational caravan, and after getting on the white road, Jennifer gave him a white leather suitcase, which was very beautiful, and when it was opened, it was a copper-colored trumpet.

Jennifer said: "I asked Sasha, and she said that you didn't play the trumpet at home, so she bought one for you." ”

Bai Lu took out the number and played twice: "How good is the discount." ”

"What?" Yang Ling didn't hear clearly, and couldn't translate, so he asked more.

"Are you Chinese? Bai Lu pressed three buttons: "How much does this thing cost?"

Yang Ling was speechless again, have you ever seen a person receive a gift, and ask the owner in person how much is the value of the gift, the gift is used to express politeness and etiquette, you bald man is too impolite.

Sighing, translating this sentence, Jennifer smiled after hearing it: "You tell him, more than 10,000 US dollars, ask him if he will be reimbursed?"

This is the chess opponent, will meet the talent, Yang Ling is very happy to translate this sentence. Helplessly, Bai Lu, who was a chess player, didn't pick up at all, and changed the topic and said: "What is the origin of this thing, introduce it, after we go back, we will also brag to Xiaosan and Linzi's gang of bastards, those bastards, always scare me with foreign names." ”

There were also two mouthfuls in the white suitcase, which were slightly different from the mouthpieces on the number, and Bai Lu took them out and weighed them: "Not bad." "It feels like you're weighing it when you're selling scrap.

Yang Ling was heartbroken: "You just spoil things." ”

See the white road likes. Jennifer picked up a large piano box again and gave it to Bai Yu: "Let's see if you like it." ”

Musical instruments are not as expensive as possible, it is true that there is a reason why expensive is expensive, and there is quality assurance. However, for individuals, the best instrument is the one that best expresses your skills and works best with you.

Moreover, an expensive instrument is not necessarily better than a cheap instrument, and sometimes, a bargain will make a perfect instrument. It's a matter of probability, factory mass production. Accidentally make a perfect instrument. If you accidentally buy it, you will make money.

Bai Yu has a piano that has been with her for many years, and Jennifer gave her another piano, and her heart has arrived. But whether white rain is used. It also depends on the timbre and fit.

The tone of the guitar is better and better the more you play.

Jennifer is a musician. Knowing these things, he took out another small locket, opened it and said, "Four sets of strings." Two sets of phosphor bronze acoustic strings, two sets of bronze acoustic strings, there is a distinction between light and light, you can try it, and tell me what strings you need in the future. ”

For a good acoustic guitar, wood is important, craftsmanship is important, and strings are equally important. An ordinary instrument, if there are strings that are particularly suitable for it, the tone will be greatly improved.

Bai Yu was already a little dizzy when he took over the piano case, which piano player doesn't want to have a good piano?

There is a very elegant English sign on the side of the piano case, transliterated to Taylor, after opening, a very beautiful primary color electric box piano, touch the strings with your hand, it feels really good.

I liked the piano and listened to Jennifer talk about the strings, so I hurriedly took it and thanked her.

Jennifer said, "I just use this brand of piano, and the strings are good." Then say the English name.

Yang Ling thought for a while, and translated with Bai Yu: "I don't understand the piano, transliteration, the name of the string can be said to be Electre, the string used by Jennifer, it should be a good thing." ”

Bai Yu said Xie Lu Xie again.

The three women were talking very lively, and they were talking about the English sign that they wanted to know about the road, and Bai Lu was very depressed: "Hey, what's the name of this thing?" I can tell you, and then scare me with the English name, and I will kill you." ”

Yang Ling ignored his threat and said to Bai Yu, "Is it better than your original qin?"

Bai Yu nodded: "It's definitely good, my piano was bought for 3,000 yuan in Xinjiekou, and the piano case is still second-hand." ”

Bai Lu suddenly shouted: "Tell me quickly, what brand is this thing of mine, how much cowhide is it?"

Yang Ling sighed: "Can you not be so vulgar? Others have the piano, they are happy that the piano is good, you are good, vain want to make a bunch of brand names to brag about it." ”

Bai Lu did not accept criticism: "You know a fart, this is a musical instrument, what is a musical instrument in Zhilu, it is a noble thing to cultivate sentiment, it is better to show off a high-end noble thing than you wear a brand-name tattered clothes, this is a grade, Zhilu Dao is not?"

Unable to argue with him, Yang Ling decided to surrender and asked Jennifer about the origin of the trumpet.

Jennifer smiled and introduced, Yang Ling was just about to translate, Bai Lu said, "Wait, who has pen and paper?"

"What are you going to do?" Yang Ling asked.

"Jennifer said a lot of things, and I had to write them down so I wouldn't forget. Bai Lu said the demand very sincerely.

This is a madman! Yang Ling translated in one sentence: "Monette, the most famous trumpet brand in the United States." Then he kept silent.

Bai Lu waited for a while, and when he saw that Yang Ling no longer spoke, he showed a very studious attitude and asked, "No, I heard Jennifer say a lot." ”

"The rest of the words are talking to me. Yang Ling Zhengse said.

"Don't talk nonsense! I don't believe it, hurry up. ”

"Okay, it's mainly to say what kind of model your trumpet is, I forgot, anyway, the tone is good, thin and full, Jennifer said, your trumpet is so good, you must know how to maintain it, she won't say much. ”

"Maintenance?" Bai Lu looked at the tuning tube, then looked at the back bend below, and said to Yang Ling: "You ask her, why do you get me such an expensive trumpet?

The trumpet needs to be maintained frequently, and it has to be cleaned simply every time it is blown, and the keys have to be oiled during the partition time, and then the partition time has to be cleaned largely, which is very troublesome anyway.

Hearing that Bai Lu began to talk nonsense again, he raised the bell and made a gesture at him: "I despise you." ”

A short time later, the car drove into a courtyard, which was a three-story building. The car pulled up to the door, and Jennifer led them out of the car and into the room.

As soon as you enter the door, there is an office on the left. On the right is a hallway, and on the wall are a few posters of the band.

Pushing open the office door, the room was large, with a few golden records hanging on the walls, and below it was a row of wooden cabinets resembling bookshelves, on which were piled many things, including discs, books, and magazines. Directly opposite is a window with a large desk in front of it, and an office on the side, behind which two white men sit.

There is a sofa at the entrance. There was a black man sitting.

See Jennifer. The black man on the couch got up to say hello, and the white man behind the desk looked up to say hello, but didn't stand up.

Jennifer entered the room, and the white man behind the desk across from her was wearing a T-shirt. A tattoo with a strange symbol on one side of his neck. Glancing at the computer. Look up and ask, "Start now?"

Jennifer said yes, and the white young man with a tattoo on his neck walked out and nodded at Bai Lu and Bai Yu. Lead them to the other side of the hallway. At the end of the corridor was a thick soundproof door, which, when opened, seemed to enter another world, somewhat dark, with only a dim lamp lit in the room.

The tattooed young man turned on the headlights, and then shook hands with Bai Lu: "Jim." ”

Bai Lu learned his tone: "Bai Lu." ”

"I know you. Jim shook hands with Bai Yu again.

Jennifer said: "Jim is a very well-known recording engineer, he used to work for Sony, and then he came to Los Angeles to record a lot of bands and famous musicians, and I recorded a lot of songs from him, and he was also the recording engineer for this concert. ”

Generally, a recording engineer is employed by a record company. But some well-known bands or musicians will have their own recording studios, and they will also have their own recording engineers. Jim worked as a personal recorder for famous guitarists.

After Yang Ling translated this sentence, Jennifer continued to introduce Bai Lu: "This is Gaga, the drummer of the band. "It's about the black people I just met, and I went into the studio with them. He also introduced Bai Yu Bai Lu to Gaga.

Bai Lu whispered to Yang Ling, "What is this name?"

"Rare and weird. Yang Ling had another chance to despise him.

After introducing each other and starting work, Jim asked Jennifer, "Record a live version of that video first?"

Jennifer said yes, said a few more words, and discussed something with each other.

Bai Lu didn't understand at all, so he looked left and right, looking at the recording studio.

The room is large, full of music equipment, and directly in front of it is a nearly three-meter-long mixing console with two computers on top of it and several monitors hanging on the side.

The front of the mixer is a large glass room, with instruments and music stands and microphones scattered around. Behind the mixer are two guitars.

At this time, there were six people in the room, Yang Ling, Bai Lu, Bai Yu, Jennifer, Jim, and Gaga, the black man.

Jennifer and Jim talked for a while, clicked on a computer on the recording table, and the monitor speakers in the room immediately played the part of the White Road trio at the North City Hotel.

Bai Lu listened for a while: "So good?"

Jennifer said, "Jim did a simple rendering, can you read the staff?"

"Yes. ”

Yang Ling, who was speaking in the middle, was a little surprised: "Can you read the staves?"

"Isn't it just a bunch of tadpoles, what's not to understand?" Bai Lu finally won and raised the bell once.

Yang Ling was suspicious of the translation, and Jennifer said, "That's the best, Jim said that the three of us worked together well, but the arrangement was not perfect, and he tried to make a change." As he spoke, he went to the guitar case behind the recording booth to retrieve a few pieces of paper and handed them to Bai Lu: "You take a look first." ”

Bai Lu took it and flipped through it: "What is this?"

"Sheet music, don't you say you can read it?" asked Jennifer.

"I can understand it, I mean I can understand the score, you give me a lot of it, what do I think?" The complete score of a song is not a simple ABCD, it is necessary to mark the melody played by each instrument, and the score of each instrument is different. In terms of scores, it is necessary to list the scores of various instruments in the same bar from top to bottom, so that the musicians can grasp the performance progress of the whole orchestra, so that they can better cooperate and perform the perfect music together.

In the case of a band alone, there is a lead guitar in charge of the main melody, other instruments to accompany it, or the keyboard to play the main melody, guitar and bass to accompaniment, etc., there are main and secondary, complementing each other, and each instrument must have a different score.
