"I mean really, your voice's interpretation of the melody is amazing, which is very rare." Mark didn't understand Hugo's ridicule, and still explained seriously, it can be seen that he is a diligent person, "However, I am not sure about your appearance after entering the studio, many people have a good voice, but after entering the studio, they don't know how to control it, so they can't become a singer." ”

Mark's honesty made Hugo feel comfortable, at least it could be seen that Mark had a down-to-earth personality, "I would overlap my middle finger on my index finger." It means praying, "So why don't we try it?" If there's something you can improve or learn, make the most of your time. ”

Mark immediately nodded in agreement with Hugo's words, "You go into the studio, let you get used to the whole atmosphere first." After watching Hugo enter the studio, Mark walked to the sound console, but remembered something, and turned back to Joseph, "If you are bored, you can go out and wander around, there are still many pastimes here." ”

Joseph is a film agent, almost ignorant of music, and was still stunned, but as soon as Mark said this, he waved his hand again and again, "It's okay, it's okay, don't pay attention to me, you just work." He sat down on the couch with some nervousness. It's not a familiar set, and the professional and unfamiliar equipment makes Joseph full of pressure, but at the same time, Joseph is also curious about Hugo's watch in the studio.

Mark quickly turned his attention to Hugo, and after he sat down in front of the console, he pressed the big red button on his right, and said into the microphone in front of him, "Hugo, bring the headset, yes, that's it." The sound of the microphone came through the loudspeaker above the guò studio, indicating Hugo's movements, "I will play the music first, you listen to the effect, and then you try to sing along to the music into the microphone, and this is the effect of the recording." Let's try it first. ”

Hugo gestured to Mark with a "no problem" gesture, Hugo is naturally no stranger to these processes in the studio, not only because he had the experience of recording until he was glorious to death before, but also saw that the actors were not live broadcasters but did post-dubbing, so although he did not record and sing in person, the process is still very clear.

Soon there was music in the headset, not a purely instrumental sound, but a mastering tape sung by Hugo himself. To put it simply, it's like karaoke, where you play music directly in your ears and ask the singer to sing it. But the difference between a recording studio and karaoke is that after the singer puts on the headset, he isolates his ears from his voice, and the microphone will strip away all the adhesion factors of the singer's voice, and present it fruitfully, exposing all the advantages and disadvantages of the voice.

The studio is scarier than a cappella. Because at least the singer can hear his own voice when singing, and can control the rhythm and tone, which is why many singers don't like to wear headsets when singing live, although the headset can eliminate the noisy factors of the scene and transmit the soundtrack to the singer's ears most directly and clearly, but it will also affect the singer's own control of the voice. In the studio, singers have no way to control their own voices, and completely rely on the most primitive musicality to interpret them.

In short, the recording studio is to present the singer's most basic abilities completely, whether he has talent, how much talent he has, advantages and disadvantages, etc., all of which are presented.

Of course, the preservation of the recording studio is to make up for the shortcomings of the singer's voice, showing the best state, and even the situation of being out of tune and broken 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 is miserable, and they can only rely on lip-syncing and playing studio sound sources to sing.

In the 21st century, the role of the recording studio has been played to the extreme, people even joked that "dogs, pigs, can become singers", many idol singers only have one face, and Yan zhòng also has incomplete five tones, so they can only choose rap, but the recording studio covers up all their shortcomings, and they can also become regular singers who release albums.

In Hugo's view, for a truly good singer, the studio table should be excellent enough, because this is the medium through which the singer's advantages are brought into full play, and the record will become the most extensive way of publicity; But at the same time, the live performance should be wonderful enough, and the same song can be interpreted with different flavors according to different scenes, which can live up to the sincerity of all the audience arriving at the scene to listen.

In fact, if there is a choice, Hugo would prefer to be a band, because he has been a member of the band for the past ten years, and now it feels very strange for him to appear alone in the studio, let alone let Hugo go directly to the lead singer's position, which is really difficult to adapt.

So, when Hugo tried to sing for the first time, he suddenly made a fool of himself.

Hugo felt something unusual when he spoke, but he couldn't tell that something was wrong, because the headset blocked out his own voice, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Joseph's stunned look. But Mark seemed very calm, there was no special expression on his face, he still looked like he was studying carefully, until Hugo took the initiative to stop, and Mark stopped the music.

"Hugo, listen to the table of this paragraph just now." Instead of scolding Hugo, Mark cut the track directly and played Hugo's singing in the studio.

Hugo was startled when he heard his voice just now, because people always feel unfamiliar with their voices, and more importantly, Hugo actually walked four notes in the lyrics of a lyric just sung, and there was an "oh" drag in the tail note, Hugo actually sang three incompatible scales in a row, and it is indeed not easy to go out of tune to this Cheng dù, such a table is not comparable even to amateur singers.

But Hugo didn't feel ashamed, but laughed with a snort, if such music was recorded, not to mention others, even he himself would be smashed by the disc. It's as if you're watching "American Idol" and the people who sing so out of tune that no one can tell the original song insist that they're musical geniuses, which is ridiculous and hilarious.

Looking at Hugo's presumptuous smile, Joseph finally couldn't hold back and laughed, even Mark, who wanted to be strict, couldn't help laughing.

"Hugo, you care too much about music, 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, you were half a beat faster than just now. Because you've been thinking about the music and want to take the initiative to fit the music, you lose control of the sound. In fact, music is just a point, and real singing should flow naturally, as long as you have enough understanding of music, you pay attention to your own singing, and sing it freely, there will be no problem. ”

Mark didn't say anything technical, just asked Hugo to focus on his singing, Hugo thought for a moment, stretched out his index finger, and motioned for himself to try again. Mark didn't say anything and immediately started the music.

The second time he sang, Hugo still didn't grasp the state, he always felt that he was distracted by the music in his ears, as if there were two people talking at the same time in his head, obviously the two voices had to be synchronized, but there was always one voice to cater to the other voice, so the pace was always very nervous, and if he didn't pay attention, he would go on a business trip.

"Tell me." Hugo took the initiative to ask for an audition, and sure enough, as he expected, the voice was too tight, and the whole singing sounded dry, although the tone was not so strict, but still missed two notes, and the rhythm was slightly messy. "Give me a few minutes." Hugo said into the microphone.

In fact, Hugo is not a rookie in the recording studio, but he did not use it as the core of the recording before, and Hugo began to recall the feeling in the recording studio. In fact, standing in the studio is no different from singing in a normal way, the most important thing is to immerse yourself in the music and sing along with the melody, the music in the headset is not a guide, but an accompaniment.

A truly clever singer does not step on the beat of music, nor does he need to beat the beat to control his own singing during the singing process, but imprints the rhythm and melody of the music in his head, and then interprets it smoothly. On the contrary, when singing live, the singer will also change the tune, rhythm, singing method, etc. according to the atmosphere of the scene, so as to interpret the unique version of the song that is different for each scene.

Hugo seemed to have figured out something, but he wasn't sure if it was correct, so he took one side of the headset off and just pressed it to the other, and said to Mark, "Try again." ”

Mark didn't play the music directly, but pressed the red button and said, "Take it easy, don't deliberately control zhì, just imagine how you usually sing." "And then the music starts playing.

"The next time you meet me, things won't be the same again." Hugo closed his eyes, and his left ear could hear the music flowing slowly, and his right ear could feel his voice vibrating slightly like guitar strings, which was a good feeling, like lying in the shade of a tree on a summer afternoon and watching the sun gently sway among the leaves.

Before he knew it, Hugo had finished singing the first four bars of the song, and Mark drew an arc on his face, "Very good." This time the table xiàn is very good. Hugo finally had a smile on his face, which showed that he had found the right trick, "But you are still nervous, your emotions have not been deduced, and the master watch you sent me is much richer." You should let go of your hands and feet and not be constrained by the recording studio. ”

"You have to know that you're a great singer and that the studio is where you amplify your strengths, so be bold and show what you're good at." Mark kept encouraging Hugo into the microphone, so that Hugo's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little.
