Dongshan resurrection 438 two road idiots

The studio that EMI Records arranged for Glory to Death is actually the building they signed up for, located at the 'junction' of Fifth Avenue and 128th Street.

The building was first used as Capitol Records (capit01. Founded in 1942, Capitol Records was the first West Coast brand in the United States, and in less than four years after its founding, they sold 42 million records and were considered capable of becoming the sixth largest record label, but in 1955 Capitol Records was acquired by EMI Records and became an independent label under EMI Records. In the 50-year history of Capitol Records, the Beatles are undoubtedly their greatest achievement.

The base of Capitol Records is in Los Angeles, where there is also a Capitol Records building, the cylindrical disc building was the world's first circular building at that time, and it is also a very special building in Los Angeles. When EMI Records wanted to sign Glory to Death, the band's first idea was that EMI would sign them under the banner of Capitol Records, because from all aspects, Capitol Records was the best choice, but I didn't expect that in the end, EMI Records would be signed under the 'door' of the head office.

Of course, this also means that EMI has higher expectations for the band, and will provide the band with more resources, looking forward to opening up a broader market, not only in the United States, but also in Europe.

Coming to the signing building again, Henry took them to the fourth floor, which was not only home to the practice room, but also a huge recording studio at the end of the corridor, which was currently one of the top recording studios in New York.

In the early days of the rise of the record industry, each record company was equipped with its own recording studio, and the entire album production process was completed within the company, but with the development of the industry, the division of labor was inevitable, just as the film industry gradually made all aspects of production and distribution independent, and now there are more and more independent professional recording studios, and record companies have also begun to 'hand' over the recording part to the professional recording studio to complete, and the division of labor and cooperation to achieve the most perfect effect.

For example, the last time Hugo recorded the ending song for "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea", he arrived at the famous City of Sound studio to complete all the recording work.

However, the recording studio set up by Capitol Records in New York was actually a professional recording studio, not a branch, and the equipment and conditions of the recording studio are also at the top level in Gotham Town, where music is developed, so EMI Records has also made full use of this high-level recording studio, and the recording of many albums is directly completed here.

The group walked into the recording studio, but they didn't see the album producers who were waiting, and the band was greeted by an empty room, making everyone look at each other. Everyone originally looked at Neil, but then followed Neil to look at Henry, as an agent, it was natural for Henry to solve the problem.

I didn't want to, but Henry sat down directly on the sofa, and found a comfortable position to lean on, "Don't worry, just wait, anyway, the studio can't run." This time the band members all looked at Hugo, Hugo nodded, and he didn't mind, and the band members found a place to sit down.

Hugo stood there and looked at the studio, in fact, the decoration here is not new, it still has a strong 70s style, it seems that it has not been modified after the renovation in the 70s, but even so it looks closer to the current than the recording studio in the City of Sound. The studio was very well equipped, and although there was no computer recording equipment that Hugo was familiar with in the 21st century, the equipment on the sound console was a sight to behold.

In the 21st century, people have learned to use computer recording equipment to omit complicated recording work, thanks to the intelligence and simplicity of computers, more and more ordinary people can complete the recording work alone, and more and more cover singers have appeared on online videos, which are the convenience brought by computer recording equipment.

But the real professional recording work, but must be divided into two parts, one is advanced computer equipment, the other is the traditional recording equipment, the two equipment combined to complete the recording work, this is the most perfect, some details are only modified by the computer, although it can be completed but the effect is still different.

It's like embroidery work, which can also be done in the future, and it is also perfect, without blemishes. However, the embroidery done by hand still has a spiritual 'nature' that cannot be comprehended by the machine. The same is true for food, there is a difference in texture between noodles made by machine qì and noodles made by hand 'kneading' noodles and ramen noodles. Music, too, is no exception.

Hugo used to have enough knowledge of computer recording equipment, but this expensive professional recording equipment can be said to be ignorant, and now he has the opportunity to learn how to use these professional equipment, Hugo is very excited, in fact, this is also part of the musical understanding, the use of musical instruments, the use of recording equipment, the use of 'mixing' skills have a crucial role in promoting the arrangement.

Hugo couldn't wait to start recording, but the album producer seemed to have disappeared, and waited for about five minutes without seeing a figure. Hugo decided to go to the bathroom to solve his physiological needs and then come back to continue waiting.

The building of EMI Records covers an area of very large, and the corridors on the fourth floor are slightly complicated due to the large number of practice rooms, and there is also a corridor that presents a ring to connect the entire fourth floor plan. After Hugo found the bathroom, he couldn't find his way back after coming out, he looked at the same but different roads on the left and right, confused.

In fact, no matter how big the fourth floor is, the direction that the corridor can lead to is limited, so Hugo thought that he would try every corridor, and he would definitely find the recording studio, so he didn't think about it, so he chose the direction on the left and walked over, but who knows, after going around for a long time, he actually went around to the bathroom 'door', which made Hugo feel dizzy.

I walked in the opposite direction again, but I ended up in the practice room where they were interviewing, that is, the entrance of the elevator, and Hugo was completely confused.

Imagine, "I 'lost' myself on the fourth floor......" Hugo felt a bunch of black lines on his forehead, which was so embarrassing that even he couldn't bear to look at it.

"Hey, are you looking for somewhere?" It seems that Hugo's 'confusion' and entanglement have been released from his eyes, and a man in his thirties but full of vitality walked out of the practice room in front of him, with a short stubble on his chin, and long curly black hair hanging down in a parted posture, but it doesn't look weird, with the lake blue 'color' shirt and denim 'pants', but quite a hip-hop young man's posture. You must know that the middle score is not something that anyone can control, and if it is not good, it is very obscene, but the man in his thirties in front of him easily controlled this hairstyle, and the posture of the whole artist came out.

"Yes, I'm looking for a studio." Hugo hurriedly spoke.

"Oh, you're Hugo!" When the man heard this, he took a closer look, and immediately recognized Hugo, and when he saw Hugo's suspicious eyes, he hurriedly stretched out his right hand, "I'm sorry, I'm the co-producer of your band's album, Hiram." raikkonen)。 ”

"Finns?" When Hugo heard the surname "Raikkunin", his first reaction was naturally Finnish ancestry.

Sheeran smiled and shook his head, "No, my grandfather is Finnish, and my father and I were both born in England. Sheeran said simply, "So, you're looking for a recording studio." Hugo nodded hurriedly, "It's not surprising, I've always found the structure of the building on the fourth floor to be confusing, listening to them, it seems to be a ring and then connected in the middle, 'intertwined', making it difficult to distinguish the direction, which is really bad." I'm getting ready to go to the studio, so let's go. ”

Sheeran looked left and right, but he also showed a hesitant expression, he glanced at Hugo cautiously, then laughed twice to hide his feelings, and boldly pointed to the left, "That's the direction, but you have to remember not to go straight when you see the fork, you have to turn a corner." Sheeran spoke very boldly, and his confident expression made Hugo have no idea of refutation.

"So, have you waited a long time?" Sheeran said as he walked, "I just went to discuss some professional skills with another recording engineer, do you have any research on recording?" Obviously, Sheeran seems to be a very friendly and casual 'sex', and he has known Hugo for less than thirty seconds before he has taken the initiative to talk

"No, I just know some simple basics." Hugo had no intention of making a big deal and honestly said, "How long have you been a professional recording engineer?" Hugo didn't look at Hieran very old, and he hadn't heard of a famous musician called "Hieran Raikuning", so Hugo asked.

"Seven years." Sheeran said dryly, "You should turn left here, and you can't go straight to it." Coming to a fork in the road, Sheeran kindly instructed Hugo, "I used to study under Norman Smith, and only last year did I start recording albums for some new artists. Norman, do you know you?"

"Of course, the Beatles, Pink and Floyd." Hugo nodded, it seems that Sheeran is also a famous 'door', but the experience is still not rich enough, sure enough, as Henry expected, Baidai Records did not send a big-name Zuò people, after all, it is not an easy task to let the big-name Zuò people bow their heads to Hugo, a newcomer, on the contrary, it is very likely that there will be conflicts. However, Sheeran's professional skills must be very 'outstanding', and his rock skills have also been recognized, and it can still be seen that EMI Records has been carefully selected.

"Uh...... Sheeran, are you sure it's going in this direction?" Before Hugo could finish speaking, he 'revealed' an uncertain expression, because he saw the bathroom again.

Sheeran turned his head to look at Hugo's line of sight, and also saw the bathroom, and then scratched his head with some annoyance, "I remember that was the case." After saying that, he looked at Hugo again, "I'm sorry, I've been here for six months, but I'm still not very familiar with the terrain, I don't have much recognition of the direction by nature, don't you think it's really too troublesome to do things in the south, south, west, front and back, left and right?"

Hugo is crying and laughing now, these two road idiots have met together, are they going to "get lost" in the fourth floor of EMI Records?" Yes, I think so too. Hugo nodded in agreement, "But...... How do you find a recording studio?"

"There's always going to be someone passing by, so why don't you knock on the 'door' of a practice room, what a good idea?" Xilan still had a smug expression on his face, looking very confident and not worried at all.
