Perhaps for the sake of sound insulation, Wang Weiliang set up the recording studio in the backyard and built a separate room for it.
Moreover, he operates all the equipment in the entire recording studio by himself, which shows that his professionalism is definitely the best in the industry!
You know, when Wang Hao was recording songs in the company's recording studio, Wang Wendao was still leading two assistants.
Since he was unable to control and supervise at the same time, he could not operate all the equipment in the recording studio by himself, but Wang Weiliang was very handy.
Such a comparison makes the difference between the two obvious!
…
The entire recording studio covers an area of about 200 square meters. In addition to the internal recording area, there is also a luxuriously decorated lounge outside.
After a brief visit to the lounge, under Wang Weiliang's warm greeting, the two of them followed him and continued inside.
After passing through a thick soundproof door, you arrive at the real recording studio area.
The recording studio is divided into two parts. The room you enter is the control room, with neat professional equipment placed on the shelves against the wall on the left.
AVID audio workstations, various types of DC audio interfaces, vocal exciters, vocal effects, mixing devices...
On the large console at the front, there are eight monitors, SSL's top-of-the-line 64-channel large analog mixer, and various audio controllers.
Looking inward through the glass in front of the control desk, you can see the very spacious recording studio inside.
There are many musical instruments placed inside, including electric guitars, drums, guzheng, accordions, violins and other instruments, which are obviously used to record song accompaniments.
The microphone stand has already been set up and placed in the middle of the recording studio, with a condenser microphone for recording vocals plugged into it.
The microphone is specially equipped with a wire mesh pop-up filter. As you can see from the big English logo, this pop-up filter to prevent wheat spray is also expensive!
Wang Hao's eyes continued to wander around the recording room, and soon he saw four YAMAHA monitor speakers installed in the corners of the room.
The various professional equipment in front of him made Wang Hao feel like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden. No matter where he looked, he felt fresh.
Standing in front of the monitor, Xiao Zhicheng touched the tuner on the console and couldn't help but sigh: "Old Wang? Are you making a lot of money again? You actually changed the equipment inside? How can you still get this set?"
Not eight digits?”
Wang Weiliang shook his head: "You don't need that much, seven digits is enough."
"Tsk, local rich man," although Xiao Zhicheng was complaining, his eyes were staring straight at the recording studio, as if he was ready to make a move.
Wang Hao couldn't help but secretly marvel. Although Wang Weiliang said it very modestly, according to his understanding, this set would cost at least more than eight million!
This investment far exceeds the company's recording studio!
To put it bluntly, if the funds invested in the recording studio in front of me were allocated, at least eight recording studios like Brilliant Media Co., Ltd. could be built.
As if seeing the surprise in Wang Hao's eyes, Wang Weiliang said with a smile: "Go in and experience it?"
"good!"
Wang Hao nodded heavily and stepped into the recording studio.
As soon as he entered, he clearly felt that the floor inside was much higher than outside. It was obvious that there was a raised design inside.
Wang Weiliang explained: "During the last renovation, I specially contacted someone to raise the floor, so that the sound isolation effect can be achieved well, and the final sound quality has obviously been greatly improved."
As he said that, he pointed to the roof and walls again, "Let's test you. Look carefully at the roof and walls and see if you find anything?"
Hearing this, Wang Hao and Xiao Zhicheng began to look around.
The main color of the entire room is a combination of white and blue, which gives people a bright and clean feeling. I think it will be easier to find inspiration during recording.
Other than that, Wang Hao doesn’t know much about it. After all, he has only entered the recording studio a handful of times and doesn’t know much about this aspect.
On the contrary, Xiao Zhicheng next to him smiled contemptuously and cast a "Don't try to trouble me" look at Wang Weiliang.
He first pointed to the location of the ceiling and said, "If I read correctly, this wavy ceiling should have acoustic effects, right?"
"This design method can not help but make up for the lack of sound insulation at the top, while also meeting the basic acoustic standards, which is extremely helpful for the recording effect!"
With that said, he stepped forward and pressed the wall again.
At this time, Wang Hao also keenly observed that the wall was actually soft and not a hard design similar to ordinary walls.
Xiao Zhicheng spoke again: "You old Wangtou are very smart. This soft wall should be sound-insulated, right? And if I guessed correctly, very thick sound-absorbing cotton should be used inside, right?"
"Haha, good eyesight!"
Wang Weiliang smiled and gave Xiao Zhicheng a thumbs-up, "Not only that, I also added sound-insulating decoration on the sound-absorbing cotton. Although the cost doubled than before, it can minimize the reverberation sound in the room.
At the same time, it prevents the generation of standing waves.”
Listening to the two people's descriptions, Wang Hao couldn't help but sigh, they are really professional!
From floor to ceiling, to walls and doors, every corner of this recording studio is perfectly designed.
Recording songs in such a recording room, the final effect will definitely be refreshing!
At the same time, Wang Hao became more convinced of Xiao Zhicheng's identity. This guy was definitely the number one figure in the music industry before, but he quit the music industry for unknown reasons.
After looking around, Wang Weiliang looked at Wang Hao and asked: "How do you think? Let's try the sound first? Then we will start the official recording?"
Wang Hao nodded, handed the USB flash drive containing the music files of "The Rain Keeps Falling" to Wang Weiliang, and then came to the condenser microphone.
Wang Weiliang dragged Xiao Zhicheng out, started to turn on various switches to test the knobs of high, middle and bass, and inserted the USB flash drive into the middle monitor.
After all, Wang Hao is someone who has been into a recording studio once, so Wang Hao naturally knows the audition process.
After putting on the monitoring headphones, he shouted "Hey, hey, hey," and opened his voice while checking the sound.
The sound in the headphones is difficult to listen to, because there is no accompaniment, so it sounds dry.
Fortunately, Wang Wendao explained to him when he was recording the song before, saying that this dry sound is the most essential sound, and the best effect can be achieved only after the sound mixer and accompaniment are finally added to it.
After the sound check was completed, Wang Hao made an OK gesture to Wang Weiliang outside the glass curtain wall.
Seeing this, Wang Weiliang picked up an A4 paper from the table and motioned to Xiao Zhicheng to hand it back to him.
There were lyrics and scores on the A4 paper. Wang Hao took it and fixed it on the shelf in front of him. Then he put on the monitoring headphones again and briefly adjusted the height of the microphone.
At this time, Wang Weiliang's voice came from the headphones: "I have successfully imported the accompaniment. You can simply move your voice and you can start recording right away."
"Okay!" Wang Hao nodded.
After almost two minutes, seeing that he was ready, Wang Weiliang behind the glass curtain wall said: "I will start playing the accompaniment now. You can try it out for the first time to get a feel for it."
Snapped!
There was a soft sound from the earphones, followed by a countdown of three...two...one.
Wang Hao took a deep breath and looked intently at the lyrics and music scores on the shelf. At the same time, he mobilized the skill permissions for the song "The Rain Keeps Falling" in his mind.
A slightly sad accompaniment sounded in the headphones,
Wang Hao made the cut at the right time.
"It keeps raining...the atmosphere is not harmonious..."
As soon as the unique hoarse voice sounded, Wang Weiliang and Xiao Zhicheng behind the glass curtain wall immediately trembled!
"This sound..."
Xiao Zhicheng's eyes widened and he murmured, as if he didn't know what words to use to describe Wang Hao's singing.
"The tone is very full and grainy. This guy is a master!"
Wang Weiliang immediately put away the slightest feeling of contempt for Wang Hao in his heart. It could be heard from the monitoring headphones that Wang Hao had an excellent grasp of the rhythm of his voice, and he did not look like a novice who had only entered the recording studio once.
Halfway through the song, the recording continued, and Wang Weiliang had no chance to stop.
Wang Hao's performance was very good, and he really couldn't fault it at all.
Until this moment, the two people outside the glass curtain wall could not hide the surprised expressions on their faces, and they all raised their thumbs in secret.
Wang Weiliang suddenly said: "Based on this voice condition, this kid is definitely qualified to hit the top line!"
Xiao Zhicheng nodded in agreement and added: "Voice is only one of the conditions, the key is talent. Every song of his is written and composed by himself, which is extremely rare in the industry!"
"Yes," Wang Weiliang couldn't help but sigh: "In the eyes of outsiders, every top singer is extremely beautiful, but they don't know that this is all the credit of the songwriter!"
"Good singers are easy to discover, but top songwriters are very rare. Every time they appear, countless singers will treat them as guests!"
Xiao Zhicheng did not continue to answer. He stared directly at Wang Hao in the recording studio, with a bit of envy in his eyes.
If only I could still sing...
How great would that be?
…
The recording went very smoothly. To Wang Weiliang's surprise, the song "The Rain Keeps Falling" actually achieved the best effect after only one use!
On the contrary, the rap track "Initial T" wasted a lot of time. The audio track and accompaniment were so difficult to coordinate that Wang Hao had to sing it many times before he found the inspiration.
However, the final result still made several people very satisfied.
It took more than an hour, and the recording of the two songs was finally finished.
Watching Wang Hao walk out of the recording studio, Wang Weiliang didn't say much and just took out the USB flash drive and started post-production.
In fact, when recording songs for other stars in the past, Wang Weiliang would not be so anxious for post-production. Usually, it would only take one day at the fastest.
But because he really liked the song "The Rain Keeps Falling" and Wang Hao was in a special situation, he made an exception and worked overtime on the production.
At eight o'clock in the evening, just as the two of them were sitting in the lounge bored and dozing off, Wang Weiliang finally came over with two USB flash drives.
After throwing the USB disk to Wang Hao, he couldn't help but stretch, "Okay, it's done, you can get off work."
Hearing the sound, Wang Hao stood up in a hurry and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wang. I'm treating you tonight, but you still have to choose the place!"
"Haha, you're welcome, it's just a little effort."
Wang Weiliang waved his hand: "You young people, go and have fun. I won't get involved. Your aunt is making dumplings at home and waiting for me."
"But……"
Wang Hao opened his mouth, still thinking about fighting for it.
But at this moment, Xiao Zhicheng on the side suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Stop nagging, I'm starving to death. Pay the money quickly and let's leave."
"If you really want to be polite, just come over and take care of Lao Wangtou's business in the future."
"With such a large investment and such good equipment, how can ordinary young singers afford it? Is the business going to be depressed?"
After hearing this, Wang Hao subconsciously turned his head and looked at Wang Weiliang.
The other party just smiled and said, "It's so rare to be clean." There was no look of worry or embarrassment on his face at all, and he didn't seem to care at all about what Xiao Zhicheng said.
