Make a comeback 438 two road idiots

The recording studio arranged by EMI for Glory To Death is actually the building where they signed the contract, located at the ‘junction’ of Fifth Avenue and 128th Street.

This building was originally the location of the New York recording studio of Capitol Records (.). Capitol Records, established in 1942, was the first West Coast brand in the United States. In less than four years after its establishment, they sold four With 12 million records, it is considered capable of becoming the sixth largest record company, but in 1955 Capitol Records was acquired by EMI and became an independent label under EMI. 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 first circular building in the world at that time, and it was also a very distinctive building in Los Angeles. When EMI was about to sign Glory to the death, the band’s first idea was that EMI would sign them under Capitol Records, because in all aspects, Capitol Records was the best choice. It was unexpected that EMI would be the ultimate choice. The record was signed under the'door' of the head office.

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

Once again in the signed building, Henry took them to the fourth floor smoothly. The fourth floor is not only the location of the practice room, but also a huge recording studio at the end of the corridor. This is currently one of the top recording studios in New York. one.

In the early stage of the rise of the recording industry, each record company was equipped with its own recording studio, and the entire album production process was completed within the company. However, with the development of the industry, the division of labor was inevitable, just as the film industry gradually changed production, The distribution and other links are all independent. Now there are more and more independent professional recording studios. Record companies have begun to'hand over' the recording part to the professional recording studios to complete the division of labor to achieve the most perfect results.

For example, when Hugo recorded the ending song for "Yihai Xiongfeng" last time, he arrived at the well-known Sound City recording 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 at the beginning, not a branch. The equipment and conditions of the recording studio are also top-level in Gotham, where the music is developed. Therefore, EMI also recorded this high-level recording. Make best use of the room, and the recording of many albums is done directly here.

The group of people filed into the recording studio, but did not see the album producer who was waiting. The band was greeted by an empty room that made everyone look at each other. Everyone originally looked at Neal, but then followed Neal to look at Henry. As an agent, it was natural that Henry was asked to solve the problem.

No, Henry sat down directly on the sofa, looking for a comfortable position and leaning back, "Don't worry, just wait, anyway, the studio can't run anyway." This time the band members all looked at Hugo. , Hugo nodded, and looked like he didn't mind, and the band members found a place to sit down one after another.

Hugo stood in place and looked at the recording 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. The recording studio in the City of Sound looks a bit closer than it is now. The equipment in the recording studio is very complete. Although there is no computer recording equipment that Hugo is very familiar with in the 21st century, the equipment on the sound console makes Hugo shine.

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 recording work alone, and there are more and more online videos. More cover singers, this is all the convenience brought by computer recording equipment.

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

It's like embroidery work, which can also be done by machines in the future, and it is perfect and flawless. But the embroidery done by hand still has a spiritual ‘ness’ that a machine cannot comprehend. The same is true for food. The taste of machine-made noodles is different from hand-kneaded noodles and ramen noodles. Music is no exception.

Hugo used to have enough knowledge of computer recording equipment, but this kind of expensive professional recording equipment can be said to be completely ignorant. Now that he has the opportunity to learn how to use these professional equipment, Hugo is very excited. In fact, this is also part of music understanding. The use of musical instruments, the use of recording equipment, and the technique of'mixing' sound play a vital role in facilitating the arrangement of music.

Hugo can't wait to get into the recording work, but the album producer seems to have disappeared. After waiting for about five minutes, no one is seen. Hugo decided to go to the bathroom to solve his physical needs, and then come back and wait.

The building of EMI Records still covers a very wide area, and because there are more practice rooms on the fourth floor, the corridors are also slightly complicated. There is also a corridor that presents a ring to connect the entire fourth floor. After Hugo lingered to find the bathroom, he couldn't find the way back after he came 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 directions that the corridors can lead to are also limited, so Hugo thinks that he will try every corridor and he will definitely find the recording studio. Without even thinking about it, he chose the left direction. In the past, but who knows, after going around for a long time, he went around the'door' of the bathroom again, which made Hugo feel dizzy.

Going in the opposite direction again, but in the end they came to the practice room where they were interviewing, which is the elevator entrance. Hugo was completely confused.

Imagine, "I lost myself on the fourth floor..." Hugo felt a pile of black lines on his forehead. This was so embarrassing that he couldn't bear to look directly at him.

"Hey, are you looking for a place?" It seems that Hugo's "confusion" and entanglement have been released from his eyes, and an energetic man in his thirties walked out of the practice room diagonally in front of him, with a short chin left. Dense scum, a black'colored' curly long hair drooped down in the middle of the posture, but it doesn't look weird. Paired with that lake-blue'colored' shirt and denim'pants', it's quite hip-hop Young man's gesture. You know, the middle point is not something anyone can control. If one is not good, it is very awkward, but the man in his 30s can easily control this hairstyle, and the whole artist's posture comes out.

"Yes, I'm looking for a recording studio." Hugo said quickly.

"Oh, you are Hugo!" When the man heard these words, he took a closer look and recognized Hugo. Seeing Hugo's suspicious look in his eyes, he quickly stretched out his right hand. Sorry to introduce myself, I am the co-producer of your band's album, Hiran Raikkonen (.)."

"Finnish?" When Hugo heard the name of "Raikkonen", his first reaction was of Finnish descent.

Sheeran smiled and shook her head, "No, my grandfather is Finn, and my father and I were born in England." Sheeran said simply, "So, you are looking for a recording studio." Hugo hastened. I nodded, "This is not surprising. I have always felt that the structure of the building on the fourth floor is confusing. I heard them say that it seems to be a circle and then connected together in the middle. It’s hard for people to tell the direction. It’s too bad. I’m also preparing to go to the studio, so let’s go together."

Xilan looked left and right, but he also showed a hesitant expression. He glanced at Hugo cautiously, then laughed twice to cover up his emotions, and pointed to the left boldly, "This is the direction. It’s just that you have to remember, don’t go straight when you see the fork, you have to turn.” Sheeran said very boldly, and her confident expression made Hugo no objection.

"So, have you waited for a long time?" Hiran said as she walked, "I just went to discuss some professional skills with another sound engineer. Do you have any research on recording?" Obviously, Hiran looked like It’s a very friendly and casual sex, and within 30 seconds of getting to know Hugo, he took the initiative to talk to him.

"No, I only know some simple basics." Hugo did not intend to be big, and said honestly, "How long have you been a professional sound engineer?" Hugo sees that Xilan is not very old. And he has never heard of a famous music producer called "Hiran Raikkonen", so Hugo asked this question.

"Seven years." Sheeran said bluntly, "You should turn to the left here, and you can't go straight." At a fork in the road, Sheeran amicably guided Hugo, "I was in Norman before. I learned under the hands of Smith, and only started to record albums for some new singers independently since last year. Norman, do you know?"

"Of course, the Beatles, Pink-Floyd." Hugo nodded. It seems that Sheeran is also famous as a teacher, but the experience is still not rich enough. As Henry expected, EMI Records did not send a big name. Producers, after all, it is not an easy task for big-name producers to bow to the newcomer Hugo. On the contrary, there is a possibility of conflict. However, Xilan's professional skills must be very'glamorous', and rock and roll skills have also been recognized, it can still be seen that EMI records are carefully selected~www.wuxiaspot.com~ uh... Lan, are you sure it is in this direction?" Hugo showed an uncertain expression before he finished his words, because he saw the bathroom again.

Xilan turned his head and followed Hugo’s gaze and saw the bathroom. Then he scratched his head in annoyance, "I clearly remember it." After saying that, he looked at Hugo again, "Sorry, I I’ve been here for six months, but I’m still not familiar with the terrain. I don’t have much recognition of direction by nature. Don’t you think things like southeast, northwest, front, back, left, and right are really too troublesome?”

Hugo was really dumbfounded. These two lunatics met together. Are they going to be "lost" on the fourth floor of EMI Records? "Yes, I think so too." Hugo deeply agrees. Nodded, "But... how do you usually find the recording studio?"

"There will always be people passing by, or else just knock on the'door' of a practice room, how about it, a good idea?" Xilan still has a smug expression on her face, she is very confident and not worried at all. Looks like.
