Chapter 220 The Sound of Heaven

Liu Yihua is very excited now that his skills can only be considered medium-level in previous history. But now in this era, when he knows too much advanced knowledge, Liu Yihua suddenly feels that he should be the most technical recording engineer in the world, right?

Thinking of this, Liu Yihua was a little excited. After adjusting the guitar, he continued to explain the keyboard, drummer and bassist with great enthusiasm. Now Liu Yihua is full of confidence, so naturally he no longer keeps a low profile. Instead, he looks like a teacher and has a style of giving guidance.

Next, the keyboardists, drummers, and electric bass players all experienced the same five-body protrusion process as the guitarists! This shocked them too much! No, it should have scared them! Liu Yihua knows too many things, and many of them are unheard of. But they don’t know that although Liu Yihua’s level is good, it is far from invincible in the world, just because the advanced knowledge that Liu Yihua masters is definitely invincible in this era! So Liu Yihua just reveals a little bit of advanced things in the future, which can completely stunned the band members.

After a period of familiarity, Liu Yihua felt that the members of these bands were of high level and had basically mastered these advanced instruments. Liu Yihua smiled and said, "It's very good. By the way, what are your names?"

After Liu Yihua said that, he looked back at Zhou Huijie.

The band members dare not speak. Although they have good skills, they have no reputation. They have never worked together before, and the band has no name yet.

Zhou Huijie felt a little embarrassed and said, "Yihua, they are all masters I have poached from this band. Each of them is definitely the best in Hong Kong. But there is no band name yet... you can name one!" Finally, Zhou Huijie had an idea and asked Liu Yihua to name the band.

Liu Yihua touched his chin and pondered for a while, "So, although you are from Hong Kong, you are all descendants of Yan and Huang. Hong Kong will sooner or later return to our big family of the Chinese nation! Let's do this, our band is called - Yanhua Band! It's a band of Yan and Huang + the Chinese nation! Do you think it's okay?"

"Okay!" The band members and Cai Suyan and others all cheered in unison and applauded happily.

Liu Yihua smiled and said, "Yanhua Band is very nice! It's very powerful! I hope that in the future you can become one of the best bands in the world and be proud of our Chinese nation! Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" The band members now applauded Liu Yihua with passion and blood!

Liu Yihua said with satisfaction: "I believe you have this level. OK, I'll go in and adjust the sound effect now."

After saying that, Liu Yihua walked into the audio room, put on his headphones, and adjusted the tone of each instrument one by one through the glass. When the band members were playing the final ensemble, they actually found out that they knew what music was only today! This was a great irony for them who thought they were invincible in the world!

"Okay, there are a few songs you can familiarize yourself with. These songs are very special, please keep them confidential." After Liu Yihua finished speaking, Xiaoyan distributed the score to the band.

"Xiao Ruoshui, go and try singing now. Yes, it's that microphone. Sing, I can hear it in my headphones." Liu Yihua said to the speech microphone on the mixer. There was a speaker outside that everyone could hear it.

Xiao Ruoshui nodded, looked at Liu Yihua through the glass, and then obediently stepped forward and started singing... However, after just singing a few sentences, she found that Liu Yihua's expression changed drastically! Xiao Ruoshui suddenly felt panicked. Is it very ugly to sing her own songs? Doesn't my brother like to listen to it?

Liu Yihua happily shouted to Cai Suyan: "Xiaoyan, come in. Go to the mixer and put on your headphones and listen. Ruoshui, come, you can sing a few more words."

Xiao Ruoshui felt relieved when she looked at Liu Yihua's happy appearance. She knew that Brother Yihua might like to sing her own songs, so she sang better the next few lines!

Seeing Cai Suyan taking off her headphones with shock, Liu Yihua asked with a smile: "How is it? Are you quite shocking? Ruoshui is really a genius! But Xiaoyan, you don't have to be discouraged. Your singing is also genius, but you can't develop in entertainment. But let Xiao Ruoshui become famous for playing entertainment, and it's good to be a big star in film and television."

Xiao Ruoshui could not hear what Liu Yihua and Cai Suyan were saying through the glass, but she could feel that Liu Yihua and Cai Suyan were very excited.

At this time, Liu Yihua picked up the microphone and said again: "Okay, rehearse a few times. When we recorded this song, we made two versions: one version was Cai Suyan's solo; the other version was Cai Suyan and Ruoshui's chorus!"

At this time, Cai Suyan walked out and stood in front of the recording microphone with Xiao Ruoshui. The band was also focused and prepared! They found that the song they just saw was definitely original! This song will definitely become popular all over the world!

When Liu Yihua saw that the outside was ready, he reminded again: "Everyone pays attention to the artistic conception - when Ruoshui sang, it means that the country's reform and opening up has just begun, and all walks of life are developing thriving; when Cai Suyan sang, it means that the artistic conception of reform and opening up has achieved fruitful results. After years of persistence in reform and opening up, our country has become a powerful world power! OK, pay attention to the change in artistic conception in mind, and now we start practicing together!"

After a period of running-in, the band's ability to understand Liu Yihua's intentions became stronger and stronger. They quickly got into the state and played music that met Liu Yihua's requirements. If you feel it with your heart, you can really feel the different realms that Liu Yihua just mentioned.

Xiaoyan was completely skilled in this song before, but now she has to cooperate with Xiao Ruoshui and find a tacit understanding between the two.

What is surprising is that Ruoshui has a very good understanding and fusion ability of music. She sang slowly with the accompaniment in a few minutes, and soon entered the state, reaching the artistic conception required by Liu Yihua!

After another drill, Liu Yihua said happily: "Okay, very good! Very good! Absolutely good! This time I must make you famous all over the world! Let the Yanhua band become famous all over the world!"

When everyone saw Liu Yihua's confident look and heard his passionate language, they felt that kind of progress and excitement... Liu Yihua is now in the minds of the band members, and that is "god"!

Cai Suyan, Zhou Huijie, Li Shanshan, and Xiao Ruoshui are now impressed by Liu Yihua - can you write such a good song? That's not all, Liu Yihua can also organize a band, singers practice together, and have to record it yourself later? Looking at the electrical equipment flashing with indicator lights, the women were dizzy. It was too complicated! Yihua has too many things, is this the legendary genius?

Liu Yihua is in a good mood now, just like a collector discovering a national treasure, and a man Le discovered a thousand-mile horse! Xiao Ruoshui brought too much surprise to Liu Yihua!

Liu Yihua calmed down and said to Cai Suyan: "Close the door, no one is allowed to come in within an hour! OK, the band prepares for it, and the official recording will start in 1 minute!"

After Liu Yihua said that, he stood in front of the mixer, turned on the multi-track recorder, and after debugging the status normally, he put on the headphones and slowly turned on the band's volume. Liu Yihua remembered the volume switch of each instrument just now very well and would not make any mistakes.

After everything was ready, Liu Yihua smiled at the band and made a starting gesture... The band was a little nervous in body and mind, but it was the first time to record in such a good place, so it would be strange if they weren't nervous. But Liu Yihua's smile just now made their tension disappear. They quickly adjusted their emotions, immediately entered the state, and played with sincerity.

Liu Yihua wore headphones to monitor the solo sounds of different instruments in turn, and then listened to the overall band sound. At the same time, he also had to pay attention to the status of the mixer level meter!

If the recording volume is too high and exceeds 0db, the sound may be distorted.

Therefore, in the past, the "compression limiter" was used in the audio system. This kind of device can control the recording level to 0db, so that the tape has the maximum dynamic range without distortion.

However, Liu Yihua is now using digital recording equipment. This kind of digital recording medium has a wide dynamic range. In addition, Liu Yihua is very confident in his technology, so he did not use a "pressure limiter", but pursued the uncompressed authentic sound.

The solo of a song was completed quickly. Liu Yihua took off his headphones and smiled: "Very good! It's rare to have such a mentality and state in the first recording to perform at such a high level! But you still need to be more confident! It's not me that you are now the group of people in the world who understands instruments and music the most! It's impossible to find a band in the world that surpasses you! Therefore, you must be full of confidence when recording the second time and be sunny! OK! The second time recording is ready... 3, 2, 1... Start!"

The recording this time was very perfect! It was so perfect that later generations couldn't believe that the accompaniment was completed in a temporary recording studio in a hotel! And it took only a short period of rehearsals! And it took only 2 recordings!

Liu Yihua wore headphones and listened to the second recording again and laughed: "Perfect! It's so perfect! I listened to it and it was a little bit small at a certain place... But it doesn't matter. We are recording multiple tracks, and it's enough to increase the sound of that track when sorting out later. Next, I will play the recording effect just now through the sound reinforcement system, and everyone listen."

The members of the band hugged each other excitedly after listening to the recording! It was so perfect!

Liu Yihua smiled and said, "Haha, this is the latest multi-track recording device, and the effect is naturally great! Of course, my level is still a little bit." Liu Yihua began to keep a low profile again.

At this time, Cai Suyan wondered: "Yihua, what is multi-track recording? Is this recording method different from before?" Cai Suyan has worked on a TV station and is still quite familiar with recording equipment.

The band members couldn't help but say, "That's right, the recording was mostly stereo before. If there was a problem when recording one of the links, there was no way to edit unless it was re-recorded."

Liu Yihua explained with a smile: "Multi-track recording is of course different from the previous stereo recordings. Stereo recording records the overall signal of the entire band. There are only 2 tracks. In this way of recording, if the keyboard sounds are smaller, it is smaller, because you can't adjust the keyboard volume separately.

But multi-track recorders are different. This is a multi-track recorder. Each instrument of the band occupies almost a track recording alone. The jazz drums occupy several channels even more exaggeratedly! When I synthesised it, just turn on the track of the keyboard a little bit? Advanced? With the development of technology in the future, digital recording equipment will become more and more popular. In the future, recording equipment of 24 tracks, 48 ​​tracks, 56 tracks... will appear. Of course, computer equipment will be more utilized in the future, and it is not impossible to automatically record in the future!"

The band finally understood what it means: multi-track recording! They once again sighed deeply about Liu Yihua's omniscience. They were so dizzy about the latest equipment they looked at, and Liu Yihua actually knew it! This is really amazing.

At this time, the drummer was not sure about it, "Big Boss, you just said that my drum used several tracks to record. Can the sound of each drum be adjusted after the recording?"

Liu Yihua smiled and said, "yes! You can not only adjust the volume of each drum, but also adjust the tone of each drum! In this way, you can have a special creativity in post-production. As long as you understand the principle of this kind of recording, you can learn from it! Okay, everyone will work hard, and the next thing is the recording of Cai Suyan and Xiao Ruoshui."
Chapter completed!
