American Fortune Life

Recording, as a mysterious industry, has always been the industry to which free musicians aspire. Of course, with the popularization and promotion of high-tech products, it is possible to achieve something that was previously considered impossible by the general public. In particular, the popularity of computers can make digital recordings enjoyable, and of course, the effects of recordings cannot be compared to those recorded in professional studios.

Professional studio, a dedicated sound recording space built to create acoustic conditions for a specific sound recording environment, whose acoustic properties play an important role in sound production and the quality of its products.

Andy wasn't in the studio for the first time, and naturally there wouldn't be that kind of little excitement, not to mention that he wasn't really a musician, even less so for the dreams that music people were pursuing.

However, now that he has signed an album contract with Universal Records, Universal Records is ready to go after Hawaii all the way, Andy doesn't want to go to the US dollar. Besides, this album also contains the singles he has previously released, and he has never performed EP songs. To be honest, these songs are already beautiful, and even global. This time, if there were not a few new songs, it would be a bit of money in the album circle.

When Andy and Ivana flew to Honolulu in the afternoon, sent Ivana back to the Smith family resort estate, and greeted old George, a happy housekeeper, Andy took his bodyguards to form a huge convoy and, based on the address he received, killed him to the studio where everyone at Universal Records was located.

Lucien Granger, president and CEO of Worldwide Records, received the news and immediately assembled a team to greet Andy Smith, the superstar singer of their company.

After all, everyone knew that Andy Smith could not be treated with the attitude and demands of a singer. In any case, the new world's richest man had finally taken time out of his busy schedule, and then more time would be devoted to recording songs, saying that Bill Gates earned $250 a second, $20 million a day, and $7.8 billion a year.

So, Andy Smith, the richest man in the world at $50 billion, makes an average of $6,659 a minute. Just think about it, the people who came to record Andy Smith's album this time felt Alexander.

They're not working with someone, they're staying with a walking money printer!

“Bang-bang--”

A row of ten black SUVs guarded a black Rolls-Royce in the middle parked on the empty front yard of the house where the studio was located. Immediately, a dozen indifferent bodyguards walked down the door from the SUV and frozen eyes swept past the crowds of global records standing not far away, led by Lucien, then quickly spread out, scattered around, each facing a direction to guard.

A white skate shoe landed on Rolls-Royce, who was pulled out of the door, Andy Smith, wearing a white t-shirt and colorful beach shorts, bent down and stepped out. First, he weighed around, Andy took off his sunglasses, his mouth raised, a faint smile on his face, and walked over to the CEO of Universal Records, who had been greeted.

“Good afternoon, Mr. Granger. ”

“Good afternoon, Mr. Smith. It's so good to see you. ”

Feeling each other's enthusiasm, Andy smiled and nodded. After shaking his hand, Lucien introduced him to the two top music producers who had given him this time to make the album, especially Max Martin and Cook Harrell.

“Two, please.” Andy smiled with a smile and said to the two of them that he knew his own business. After all, there was no systematic learning of vocal music, and singing was entirely supported by talent. To say how beautiful his own song was, he didn't believe it, so to make the album perfect, he really couldn't help but make it from the other two Danas.

“It's our pleasure!” Max Martin and Cook Harrer all had humble smiles on their faces and couldn't see the depression of being left hanging for two days, so don't say anything about the Westerners not being hypocritical or anything, you know, there's really not many people in the world who are truly capable of being themselves, who live for who I really am.

Perhaps they weren't happy complaining privately before, but by the time they really met Andy, the richest, youngest big man in the new world, they'd be scared and scared for decades of climbing in the entertainment world and not knowing their smiling faces.

“Mr. Smith, this way, please -” Lucien saw that Andy Smith was not as disobedient and indifferent as he had previously feared. Instead, he was very friendly and seemed to get along very well. This could not help but relieve him greatly. As he smiled and extended his hand to invite him, he looked at Andy smiling and nodded his head and smiled bitterly at him. He thought too much of himself, the real big man, who was not very kind in private, only those who were insane and ignorant would feel that he was different from the rest of the world, noble man.

“This studio is the best in Hawaii, and although it's on the outskirts of Honolulu, it also offers musicians a recording experience away from the dust... ”

While walking, Andy listened to Lucien tell him about the history of the studio and what songs and albums it produced. The studio was decorated mainly in wood, colorful, giving people the feeling of a cottage in the country, more interesting than any other professional studio. Surrounded by bustling trees and gardens, the studio offers inspirational views of nature, secluded surroundings and plenty of recording equipment, and is truly based in a music paradise.

“Most digital and analog recording devices for musicians are available here and include a large number of microphones... Predecessor and listening... ”

Listen to Lucien Barbara say the name of some professional equipment, Andy half doesn't understand, smiles and nods his head, just really knows him well, anyway, although not familiar, won't use it, but can't be frightened.

“ The wooden decor of the studio creates a warm, full tone that is unique here. ”

After a tour of the studio, Andy saw the many guitar collectibles in this studio - well, many famous brands of guitar, hung full of two walls, certainly not really Hawaiian musical instrument Ukrilli, and a series of control pedals for matching. Yet there are also two iconic classic pianos - the Yamaha C2 and the FenderRhodes73.

Seeing these two pianos, Andy couldn't help but itch and smile and say to Lucien, "Can I play for a second? ”

“Of course, uh, I'm sure it's their pleasure.” Lucien laughed.

“Oh...” Andy shook his head with a smile at Lucien's little butt, walked up to Yamaha C2 in front of a crowd of top musicians, sat down, moved his fingers, closed his eyes and started playing.

A familiar and classic "To Alice" piano song, the loud music rang in the studio.

“Pfft, pfft, pfft...”

A warm round of applause sounded, and Andy shook his head with some modesty: "Thank you for the applause. It's been a long time since I played, and I'm a little out of my mind. ”

Everyone in the room smiled and applauded. For Andy's words and performance, he smiled kindly. To say the real level, at least half of the people in the room could easily crush Andy's playing skills. However, in the face of a big guy like Andy Smith, who can say anything else, clap well...

“ Next, Mr. Smith, you need to pick a song and sing it well.

Afterwards, you can go into the radio room with your headphones and aim for the microphone. Note that do not shake left, right, or back while singing. In the process, the recorder will adjust the level of your recording, the loudness of the microphone and accompaniment, the choice of the microphone, and many other questions, which is a great opportunity for you to audition your voice.

The recorder will record the song from beginning to end based on the EQ parameter values previously set, and listen to the dry sound that has been recorded. At the end of the audition, you will be instructed to sing the sound expressions inherent in the music for those who have some merit in each of the individual questions... “

After the tour, the album recording lead sat on the couch with Andy, and Max Martin began to explain to Andy the next recording process and considerations.

“So, Mr. Smith, do you want to sing that song first? ”

“ ”Andy shrugged and asked with a smile," Have you recorded all the accompaniments to these songs? ”

“Yes, it was recorded before. ”

“Let's start with HallofFame!” Andy laughed.

“Hall of Fame"? All right, let's start here! ”Max Martin was stunned at first, and this song was also an inspiring song he loved so much, to be honest, when he got these words, he really admired Andy Smith, the absolute first classic!
