One Hundred and Ninety-Two, You're Done

"King of the Stage ()"

Ronan was slightly taken aback, "..."

They are teammates who meet every day, and they are really familiar with each other, and suddenly they start rainbow farts for no reason? It seems unnecessary, right? Why does it feel a little weird?

Ronan couldn't help laughing, "Maxim, I'm in a cage now, and I don't know how to eat people." A joke made the slightly serious atmosphere relaxed again.

With this reminder, Maxim also realized that his words seemed... a bit exaggerated, just nodding to express "passed" was enough, but the gorgeous words of praise blurted out like this, it seems that this is the correct way. This afternoon's work has indeed changed something unconsciously, subtly.

Now when Maxim looked at Ronan again, his mentality was different.

But Ollie didn't care at all. He just stood up, applauded Ronan continuously, gave both thumbs up, then crossed Maxim's position, pressed the red button, and said into the microphone, "Ronan, you are Best of all, this song has a soul because of you!"

After finishing speaking, Oli continued to applaud Ronan, and made a series of exaggerated strange noises, which made Maxim and Cliff both show disgusted expressions, and "beat" Oli one after another, telling Oli to stop Come down, stop yelling, but Ollie gave a thumbs up relentlessly while dodging.

The scene suddenly turned into a circus, and Ronan stood in the recording room and could not hear the sound, but could only see the picture, as if he had returned to the silent film era overnight. Quietly admiring the scene in front of him, Ronan did not panic because of awakening the memory of "deafness", but relaxed.

Ronan knew that Ollie was still worried about his lack of confidence, so he never forgot to motivate him, hoping that he would become more confident.

Looking at the bustling teammates outside the recording room, Ronan also laughed heartily, and then had to remind, "Calm down, we need to maintain our state, the recording work has not been completed yet." Tick tick tick tick, time is still on As time goes by, the work is still not done.

Regain your composure and get back to work.

Undoubtedly, recording is a job that is very, very dependent on the individual state, this is true when the band is playing, and even more so when the singer is singing.

Judging from today, Ronan's state is very good.

Returning to the recording studio after a long absence, Ronan slowly regained his familiar rhythm and state after going through the initial tension and anxiety, and the song "Chasing the Light" contains Ronan's dreams, No one is more familiar with music and all the emotions of the status quo.

This is his territory, this is his world.

After the official start of the recording work, Ronan entered a state of full firepower, and his easy and relaxed singing seemed to have entered an ethereal realm. It has evolved into a kind of enjoyment, even a sense of wantonness.

The whole recording went very smoothly.

Back and forth, Ronan only took about 30 minutes to successfully complete the recording of the entire song - at least in the eyes of Maxim and Ollie, there was no problem.

However, after Ronan left the recording room, he still re-listened to the full version he had recorded, listened carefully several times, and sharply proposed a detail that needed to be repaired, and communicated with Maxim and Ollie. their own ideas, make sure they understand what they want to achieve, and then go back to the studio again.

The re-recording work was a bit cumbersome, because it was all details, and the relevant discussions were very trivial. It took about ten minutes to stop and stop recording before reaching a temporary paragraph. Ronan left the recording room again to confirm the latest version, back and forth After studying it for a while, it was officially decided.

However... the recording work is still not over, there is still a harmony part.

From the point of view of listening to music on a daily basis,

In fact, very few listeners will pay special attention to the harmony part, because the harmony is often hidden in different parts, they are not the protagonist, and their original role is an auxiliary effect, so naturally they will not take away the glory.

But from the perspective of music creation, harmony is an indispensable and important part. It increases the level of the song and makes the whole sound fuller and richer. Just like the supporting roles in classic movies, their existence is necessary and important. of.

Harmony is not as easy as imagined.

Not only because of the different parts, but also because of the need to master a lot of professional skills, the professional requirements for singers are more stringent. They really understand the melody, the vocalization, the intonation, the parts, etc., so that they can increase the number of songs without overwhelming the audience. The degree of completion and layering.

In the music industry, there are professional backing singers, and there are professional stage backup singers—these are two different professions, but there are also people who do both.

Among them, the top professional harmony singers are very rare, because they need to endure loneliness. Maybe the general public doesn't even know who they are, but their voices appear in countless hit songs. Of course, through royalties, they can live a very rich and easy life, but don't these top harmony singers have the dream of going to the stage and bathing under the spotlight? Are they willing to hide behind the scenes?

From "American Idol" to "The Voice of America", there have been many harmony singers and backup singers on talent shows, and they also hope to realize their musical dreams.

Because of this, top harmony singers are indeed rare.

Going back to the song "Chasing the Light", harmony is a very important part.

From the point of view of composition, Ronan returned to simplicity, enriched the layers through details, and hoped to construct the whole three-dimensional "architectural space sense", but it was impossible to rely solely on the melody, because his singing alone was easily overwhelmed. Submerged in the majesty of the orchestra, under such circumstances, the importance of harmony is highlighted.

On the one hand, harmony can increase the thickness of Ronan's singing; on the other hand, harmony can increase the level of the entire song.

For the harmony part, Ronan is still the main force of the recording.

But in addition to that, Cliff, Maxim and Ollie also have harmony missions. Even when they are performing live, they have their own microphones and can join the ranks of singing live-of course, if they are not in good shape, there is no problem using the studio version of the harmony, after all, they are not the lead singer.

The recording of the harmony took a lot of effort. By the time all the recording work was over, the hour hand was approaching eleven o'clock, which also meant that they had spent nearly twelve hours in the recording studio back and forth. The sun was still shining brightly when I went into the room, but the sky was already full of stars when I came out.

Nevertheless, the recording work was successfully completed after all!

And, more importantly, "It's finally time to eat!"
