One Hundred and Thirty Brand New World

Ronan looked at the crystal clear gadget in his hand, which was about the size of a fava bean and made of resin. You could clearly see the winding wires inside through the shell, revealing a faint sense of machinery. Then those wires extended all the way down, connecting a Palm-sized black box, like a radio.

What kind of high technology is this?

Ronan honestly admits that he really has never seen anything in the world. In his previous life, he was unable to truly explore the unknown world due to the limitation of his vision. In this life, he did not have time to open up the world due to the limitation of experience and level. He is taking steps one step at a time. Learn slowly and grow slowly.

Asked if he didn't understand, Ronan raised his head to look at Cliff and Maxim, and cast a questioning look.

Maxim gave the answer, "This is the ear return." I have never eaten pork, but I have always seen pigs running away. Maxim's professional knowledge is very rich, even if he answered Ronan's question, "During the concert, you can hear the music and your own voice through the earphones."

"Why?" Ronan's question blurted out directly.

Maxim was also slightly stuck because he had no practical experience, but he managed to find the answer with his rich theoretical knowledge, "Because of the concert venue, all the sound is transmitted through the speakers, and the venue is too spacious. It is inevitable that there will be a time difference in the transmission of sound, which has an obvious impact on the rhythm and rhythm of our own live performance, and the ear return is a tool for synchronously conveying live performance and singing."

Ronan immediately understood that the impact of the size of the performance venue on sound transmission is obviously objective and unavoidable; unless it is a lip-to-mouth performance, in order to avoid the situation of rushing or delaying the filming in live performances, the back-to-ear It is a necessary tool.

However, the occasions where the Kings performed before were not big and amateurs, so they were not equipped with ear monitors.

You know, the price of an ear return can easily cost thousands of dollars, and the more professional and finer the ear return, the price will be even more expensive. The top superstars all have their own customized earbuds, which can not only fit perfectly according to the size of their ear holes, but also can customize the color shape and personal special marks.

At the same time, the function of the ear return also requires the audio console to have special audio equipment - it is impossible for a performance venue like the "Noon" bar to have such equipment. Naturally, the band does not need to be equipped with such professional equipment as the ear return.

"What's wrong, is there something wrong?"

Julio walked over quickly, only to find that the band members were studying the earphones, but they were not wearing them, thinking that there was something wrong with the equipment.

Maxim quickly cleared up his expression and smiled at Julio, "It's nothing, just discussing the rehearsal process."

Maxim didn't want to show their unprofessionalism in front of Julio, it was a bit embarrassing.

But Ronan's idea is different. Ask if you don't understand, this is the truth, otherwise you pretend to understand if you don't understand, and then stand on the stage and make mistakes, that is the real embarrassment; moreover, what is the situation of the One Day Kings? , how could Julio not know? There's no need to be secretive either.

On the contrary, it is more sensible to be upright and upright.

Therefore, Ronan said frankly, "We are worried that our lack of professionalism may affect the quality of the performance." Then Ronan gestured to the ear return in his hand, "This is the first time we have worn the ear return for a performance."

"Oh, then you must take a little time to adapt. Many singers actually don't like the back-to-ears very much, because the sound of the back-to-ears is directly transmitted to the eardrums. When you hear your own singing in real time, it is easy to cause interference. It may disrupt the original rhythm of the band itself."

Julio showed a generous smile, because of Ronan's calmness and because of Ronan's honesty, he could feel Ronan's uprightness from the heart,

Under the gaze of those clear and bright eyes, Julio also explained the situation enthusiastically and sincerely, even in more detail than usual, and took care of the band's situation calmly.

"Moreover, one of the important functions of the ear return is to block the noise of the scene, so as to prevent the audience's cheers from being too loud to overwhelm the live music, resulting in the singer not being able to hear the music at all, and eventually the performance is flawed, so the blocking function of the ear return is very powerful, basically You can’t hear the outside world at all.”

Julio's explanation made Ronan's eyes widen, "Can't you hear it at all?" Maxim, who was still angry at first, stretched his ears awkwardly, so as not to miss these important information.

"Yes." Julio nodded, "So many times, singers stand on the stage, as if they can't feel the atmosphere of the scene at all, and are immersed in their own world..."

"That's because he really can't hear." Ronan suddenly realized.

"Yes!" Julio affirmed, "But the fun of the concert lies in interacting with the audience, especially those like Bruno who like to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene. He needs to feel the cheers and shouts to really mobilize, so he may I will take off one ear to feel the atmosphere of the scene."

Between songs, during the communication time between the singer and the audience, it is often seen that the singers take off the ear-backs, because the ear-backs are hindering their communication with the audience.

"However, if you take off the ear return, it is easy to lose the touch of the rhythm. This depends on the singer's personal habits and the degree of mastery of the live band. Otherwise, when the ear return fails, the singer will stand on the stage. Basically performing in a situation where you can’t hear any music, and that’s the real disaster.”

Julio said with a chuckle, "So we need rehearsals to avoid such unexpected situations."

What Julio doesn't say is that rehearsals are also a necessary means of training the band to adapt to the venue, to adapt to the headphones and acoustics, to adapt to the space and environment, and so on. They believe that the One Day Kings must have rich performance experience, as do many independent bands, but professional venues and professional stages are different after all.

"Understood! Received!" Ronan showed a big smile. At this time, he learned new knowledge and had more expectations for the next rehearsal. "Then let's start working!"

Maxim, who was standing next to him, tried twice to stop Ronan, but saw that Julio's answer was not malicious, and Cliff and Ollie were listening intently, so they closed their eyes. He closed his mouth; he didn't say anything more after that, he turned around and put on the earbuds, ready for the rehearsal.

Ronan stuffed the earbuds into his ears. Although it was not a customized earbud, he could still feel that the entire ear hole was filled, and then he entered an underwater world like burying his head in a swimming pool. The humming sound is captured, but other noises have gradually faded away, almost disappearing. The feeling of being wrapped in an air helmet is very wonderful and very weird, as if...

Feet off the ground, like a hydrogen balloon gently swinging and drifting in space.
