Chapter 1524： Amazing

Neil's expression was very subtle. It can't be said to be a disaster, nor can it be said to be joyful. He frowned, but with an elusive smile on the corner of his mouth, standing in place and listening to the recording just now. Tracks.

The other four members of the band all stood by, looking at Neil curiously, trying to get some answers, but found nothing. The usual excitement in the alley resumed. Everyone gradually dispersed. The children started throwing rugby again. The middle-aged black woman upstairs shouted, "Handsome sweetheart, if you need our help, Just shout and shout, we've always been here."

A word made the other residents around laugh loudly, Hugo also chuckled, waved to the friendly woman, and watched her step out of the fire escape and re-enter the room.

Looking back, Hugo saw that Neal had taken off the earplugs, but Neil did not express his opinion immediately, but handed the headset to Fokkin. Obviously, Neal did not want his opinions to affect the feelings of his teammates. Watching, so he put his hands on his chest alone, and quieted down thoughtfully.

After Alfonso and Pedro had finished listening, the headset was passed to Hugo's hand, and Hugo put it on and listened carefully.

The prelude of the song is a burst of engine sound from far and near, which is also mixed with some low life sounds. This kind of sound is produced by the absolute production department of the computer in the recording studio. The most original life breath, but the headset The music filled the whole brain, actually creating a magnificence and magnificence of standing on the highest peak of Yellowstone Park overlooking the earth. In an instant, Hugo felt that he had become extremely small, as if the whole line of sight had risen to the universe, and he was just in the universe. A dust that couldn't be smaller.

This kind of mysterious and mysterious feeling is difficult to describe in words, but there is no doubt that it is a positive feeling.

Immediately after, Hugo’s voice cut in in the form of a cappella. The song "Young Volcano (. is a typical song of imposing momentum, which is different from the surging surging that makes the soul tremble in "Navigation (. More directly, it turned the whole scene upside down and let everyone join the carnival. But since this was recorded outdoors, and the "audience" is a dozen people, not to mention that compared with the huge ostentation of the new album release party of "Bath the Morning Light", it is not even comparable to the scale of the glorious street performance at all. Comparability. Therefore, Hugo chose to cut in with a cappella.

Sure enough, the effect is very good. There is obviously a melodious echo effect during a cappella, which actually creates a special feeling of recording in the studio. The whole texture is excellent and far exceeds expectations, especially the trivial sound in the background sound, which makes it thin. The applause became fuller, so that when Fujin’s drum beats in, the momentum of the song instantly shines, making the melody burst into infinite charm, unlike the noisy and noisy concert scene, the sound quality is completely jaw-dropping. , It is almost impossible to believe that this was recorded in a broken alley.

Hugo finally understood why Neil had that elusive expression, not only because he could not believe that he left the studio and recorded such outstanding effects, but also because the noise they were most worried about did not destroy the melody, but instead. After their meticulous design, it has become the most important catalyst for the background sound of the melody, allowing the song to burst out with more beautiful colors.

In fact, this is the trait that belongs to the rock band, and it is the trait that is glorious to death. Almost every rock band is created in the streets, and every year the rock music festival erupts in the noisy, bursts in the noisy, even more so to the death of glory. When standing on the stage, standing on the street, and walking on the road, the glorious enthusiasm will merge with the environment, bursting out endless charm.

Glory to death Almost every moment worth remembering is a live performance, road tour, 4th and 2nd stage, Grammy live broadcast accident...Because they are born on the stage, they would rather stand and die on the stage than chase The last remaining rock and roll sun under the light, it is this willpower that makes the glory burst out to death that other rock bands cannot match.

What Hugo is most satisfied with is the third part, in which the children’s immature singing voices and the selfless singing of the surrounding residents make the whole song vigorous, which belongs to everyone’s body. Enthusiasm is blooming proudly. It has nothing to do with age, gender, experience, and time. Even if there is only a passion left in the heart, it is just like a flash in the pan at this moment, blooming in the most dazzling moment.

To be sure, this is not the live version of the concert, because it is much quieter than the concert; this is not the studio version, because it is much more lively than the recording studio, this is the version belonging to the poor streets of Denver, here The one-of-a-kind version born in the alley full of life, even if it is a version that glorifies yourself to death, it is estimated that it will be difficult to reproduce again.

Hugo took off the headset, raised his eyebrows, looked at his teammates, and asked their opinions with his eyes. Everyone looked at each other and seemed to be a little cautious. After all, this experience is for everyone. For the first time. In the end Neil took the initiative to speak, "I like it, no, to be precise, I am in love with this version."

Neil’s expression is still elusive. This time he explained his doubts, “It’s hard for me to know exactly what it feels like. In the prelude, the noise of the strong life atmosphere is very obvious. I originally thought it would be a failure. , But when Fujin’s drumbeat cut in, it actually collided with incredible sparks, which became my favorite part of the whole song. The sound of Hugo’s cappella sang through the murmur of the alley, and it felt like... It’s like flying in the sky. I don’t know if this description is accurate, but in short, I love it, I really like it too much."

That kind of magical feeling has made Neil unable to recover. It is different from the feeling when Hugo created the new album "Bath in the Morning Light" on the spot. Today’s version has a long aftertaste and an indescribable sinking. And crazy.

Alfonso shook his head, "No, I think the biggest success of this version lies in the participation of the children. Their immature and energetic voices are the best interpretation of the theme of the whole song. But in the middle of the chorus. In part, the noise is a bit too noisy. I'm not sure where it is. It seems that some people are swearing and complaining because of our noise. This is detrimental to the sound quality."

"But you can't deny that those noises made the whole scene more real, especially the sound of cars passing by from time to time. This is also the biggest imprint of the whole song." Neal looked at Alfonso and said, which made Afonso. Fang Soto thought with his chin, but didn't speak.

"Alfonso, I understand your thoughts, but you have forgotten one thing. The reason why we are recording on site is to record these accidents, such as the sound of the engine at the opening, or the quarrel during the chorus. Including I heard that when the children beat the rhythm, there are at least three mistakes...but these are not important, these flaws are the factors that make the song more perfect."

It was Pedro who spoke, making both Neil and Alfonso shine. Recording outdoors, it is impossible to achieve perfection like a recording studio, so the angle of measurement naturally needs to be different.

"Pepe is rarely smart." Fujin said, making Pedro a depressed face, but Fujin didn't care, and then said, "I agree with what Neil and Alfonso said, the flaws are still more obvious. Yes, but this is glorious to death."

Fujin's evaluation is very simple, but very clear, which also shows his attitude. In the end everyone looked at Hugo. Although Neil, Alfonso and Fogin were in charge of the recording work, the real helm was Hugo, and only Hugo was the soul of the entire band.

"To be honest, I'm not very satisfied with my performance just now." Hugo said honestly, not picking faults, but seeking truth from facts. Warm, but without the finesse of the recording studio, the overall momentum is still a little weaker.” At this point, Hugo frowned and shook his head, obviously disappointed in himself, but Hugo was asking for a studio album. Keep improving, the problem is naturally unavoidable. "But I must admit that when recording outdoors, those trivial noises, on the contrary, add a lot to the whole song; and Pepe is also right, as if it’s not possible every time. It’s the same as copying, and every performance cannot be perfect. Since we are not in a recording studio, we naturally have to change the standard."

Hugo thought about the whole song carefully, and finally nodded, "So...I agree with Neil, I love this versionincluding my uncontrolled breath." After that, Hugo He laughed himself, and all his teammates were relieved, and everyone showed similar smiles.

"So?" Pedro said excitedly, already gearing up.

Then Alfonso repeated, "So?" Neal followed, and Fokkin at the end, "So?"

Hugo pursed his mouth and nodded his chin. "So, the recording of the'Young Volcano' belonging to Denver is sure to be finished. Then, where should we go for our next stop? Let's go to Nebraska to record.' A long way (...way...)', how?"

"'Long road'?" Fujin thought for a while, "Why not go to Highway Fifty (...50) to record, for example, Austin."

Highway 50 is known as the loneliest highway in the United States, because it is one of the most desolate highways in the United States. It crosses the express delivery area and is sparsely populated. There are many Indian tribes. The famous Death Valley is also on this road. , This is the most special road, long, spectacular and magnificent.

"Good idea! Then, it's Highway 50! Let's go, let's go, let's go!"
