Zhao Hanwei taught Qiu Yuan for a few minutes and confirmed one thing: Qiu Yuan really couldn't arrange music.
Qiu Yuan not only doesn’t know how to arrange music, but also doesn’t know how to use flstudio. The latter is actually nothing. The big guys in the industry have their own arrangement methods. Some of the older guys may compose the music directly.
Using specialized arranging software like this is the arranging process that later generations emerged.
But Qiu Yuan couldn't even read music notation, and he didn't know anything about pitch tracks. After opening the complex interface of flstudio, an arrangement software, Zhao Hanwei spent a long time explaining how to use it.
Qiu Yuan stumbled and compiled some listenable things on the flstudio track, but these listenable things were not moving melodies in Zhao Hanwei's ears, but were very harsh.
In the end, Zhao Hanwei patiently spent almost an hour before Qiu Yuan figured out how to use flstudio to make a complete song.
"Yuanzi, it's getting late. Do you really have any good tunes that you can compose tomorrow?" Zhao Hanwei glanced at the time in the lower right corner. It was already one o'clock in the morning.
The normal bedtime in dormitory 507 is two o'clock in the evening. There will be classes at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't look at the other roommates who are watching the fun and then continue to sleep. They will basically be lying on the bed until two o'clock.
, very regular.
"It's better...today, let me try."
Qiu Yuan just naively took advantage of the perfect song creation opportunity rewarded by the system.
After learning the entry-level operation of flstudio, the feeling of inspiration pouring into his whole body appeared again. Qiuyuan had to complete a song in six hours, including recording the singing.
This should have been recorded in a professional recording studio, but Qiu Yuan does not have the time and energy now. Zhao Hanwei also has a very expensive set of noise reduction recording equipment. Qiu Yuan plans to use this set of recording equipment to record this directly in the dormitory.
The song is finished.
As for the choice of songs, love songs that express love are definitely the first choice. As for the style of the song, Qiu Yuan originally wanted to choose an ancient style, but it was too difficult for flstudio to compose an ancient style song.
This software is more suitable for arranging pop music and electronic music. Some of the instrumental effects required in ancient music are not available in this software.
Considering the difficulty, Qiu Yuan chose Jay Chou's catchy song "Simple Love". This song is very simple in terms of arrangement and is a very straightforward representative work of Jay Chou's rhythmic love songs.
.
It's simple but listenable. It's the kind of addictive song that can be played on repeat for countless times. And the more you listen to it, the more you can hear an indescribable sense of pleasure.
Putting on headphones and riding a bike while listening to this song for a ride on the roadside can make you feel a hundred times better.
This is the essence of pop music!
"Okay, then you try." Zhao Hanwei felt that he was quite competent as a teacher. He also wanted to see if Qiu Yuan had listened to the class in the past hour and how much he had learned.
"Okay." Qiu Yuan created a blank arranger on flstudio, and then he was stunned at the first step, "Old Zhao, how do you adjust the sound effect of the metronome?"
"...Look for it in the sound effects menu. Once you find it, drag it to the audio track." Zhao Hanwei said speechlessly.
Qiu Yuan Deling started to operate. The software flstudio is really complicated, and all arrangement software are very complicated. Qiu Yuan started dragging various sound effects onto the track, and then adjusted the beat and melody of the sound effects.
But there were also many problems and mistakes. In Zhao Hanwei's eyes, Qiu Yuan was just messing around with flstudio on his computer.
"This is not a chord. What chord effect do you want? Drag this sound effect to the next track." Zhao Hanwei looked at the newbie Qiu Yuan and felt a little tired. "Yuanzi, I said you should give up. The cover is actually quite good.
,Huh?"
When Zhao Hanwei was sighing, Qiu Yuan happened to try to play the first section of "Simple Love" he had compiled. Zhao Hanwei listened carefully and found that it was very... touching.
Although it only has a very simple metronome and a few sound effects such as drums and electronic keyboard, the melody sounds very catchy.
"How about adding some scratchy drum sound effects here? I think the melody will be better." Zhao Hanwei also gradually changed from his previous dislike of Qiu Yuan's cute and mentally retarded operation to how to make this song better.
Some serious discussions.
"There is no need to add these fancy sound effects. The simpler, the better. Even if it is difficult, I can't master it," Qiu Yuan said.
"The simpler, the better..." Zhao Hanwei tasted this sentence. The more Qiu Yuan went on to compose the music of this song, the more he felt that Qiu Yuan's words were correct.
The reason why this song is so catchy and catchy is that it is simple and the rhythm is absolutely top-notch!
At two o'clock in the evening, Qiu Yuan had already passed three-quarters of the arrangement progress. Although he stumbled along the way, he still found a solution with Zhao Hanwei's suggestion.
Now Zhao Hanwei has put on professional headphones and is carefully listening to the music. Every time Qiu Yuan plays it back, his head will nod unconsciously and his legs will keep shaking.
At about three o'clock, the four-minute-and-30-second song "Simple Love" was completely completed.
Zhao Hanwei put on his earphones and looked at each other with Qiu Yuan. Qiu Yuan played the entire song to Zhao Hanwei.
After listening, he was silent for a while and patted Qiu Yuan's shoulder.
"I feel like I have found a treasure. Yuanzi, please stop being a bitch. Those women are really too superficial and can't see your talent and value at all!" Zhao Hanwei said seriously.
"Old Zhao, it's true that we have a good relationship, but I don't have that kind of hobby." Qiu Yuan slapped Zhao Hanwei's hand on his shoulder and said.
"Neither have I! But Tooko, you are such a fucking genius. Damn it, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes or taught it myself, I couldn't believe that this stupid newbie who just learned arranging for two hours could compose something like this.
song!"
Zhao Hanwei rarely uses swear words, but now he can only express his inner excitement in this way.
"This piece is not very difficult," Qiu Yuan said.
"Why not? The rhythm and rhythm are top-notch! Yuanzi, have you thought about the lyrics and how to sing? If the lyrics and singing skills are good...this song will definitely become a hit!" said Zhao Hanwei.
"I've thought about it all, I want to record it now." Qiu Yuan grabbed Zhao Hanwei's professional recording equipment from the corner and connected it to the computer.
"Touko, I just fell asleep when I heard you chatting with the boss GAYGAY and I woke up. Are you still singing in the middle of the night?"
Wang Xing was already lying on the bed, but he didn't lie down for long when he heard that Qiu Yuan was planning to record a song directly in the dormitory, and he immediately popped his head out of the upper bunk to complain.
"Now... everyone is asleep. How about I make an appointment with you in a professional recording studio tomorrow?"
Zhao Hanwei glanced at the bed. Although the other roommates in the dormitory didn't express much, they were definitely dissatisfied with Qiu Yuan's late-night discussion with him.
Moreover, the recording environment in the dormitory is so poor that even with professional recording equipment, it is difficult to record a qualified single.
"I'm in a period of great inspiration right now. If I miss today, I might not be able to present the best effect of this song." Qiu Yuan glanced at the other roommates in the dormitory and happened to hear someone's stomach rumbling.
Then he said...
"How about I treat you to prawns? I'll treat it as compensation for the mental damage you suffered from staying up late?"
Qiu Yuan is not short of money now. Although the 100,000 yuan student aid fund has not yet arrived, Ren Ying, a gold mine, has given Qiu Yuan a total of 5,300 yuan in rewards. He will use this money to treat his roommates to a meal of whole shrimps.
The banquet is really not a problem.
"Crayfish? You're telling me I'm not sleepy anymore!" Wang Xing jumped out of bed and jumped out of bed. The other roommates also woke up instantly and said something like, "Then you're going to spend a lot of money." "Another box of beer!"
Something like that.
"Do you really have enough money now?"
Only Zhao Hanwei remembered that Qiu Yuan had used all his living expenses to give red envelopes to the woman Ren Ying.
"That's enough, I still have some savings." Qiu Yuan turned on his mobile phone and ordered nearly 700 lobsters from the nearest takeaway. There were a lot of spicy crayfish, thirteen-spice lobster, spicy shrimp balls, etc.
, and two full cases of beer.
"The lobster is already on the way! I have to record a song during this period, can everyone please be quiet?" Qiu Yuan asked.
"Okay, okay! As long as you treat me to some crayfish, we won't care even if you wail at night." Wang Xing said excitedly.
Mourning? Don't even think about sleeping tonight.
Qiu Yuan saw that her roommate in the dormitory had no objection. When she was still thinking about whether to buy another lobster banquet to the next door dormitory, she decided to sing Simple Love again first.
