Kitagawa Kai and Tachibana Akane were bickering childishly while walking along the corridor of the activity center.
After arguing for a while, the girl asked, "By the way, what are we going to do next? To experience other things?"
Kitagawa Kai thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, let's go to the recording studio and see Airi and the others. I wonder how Airi and the others are recording."
Tachibana Akane nodded obediently and responded softly, "Okay, then I'll listen to you."
It doesn't matter where you go or what you do next.
As long as I can hold the boy's hand tightly and stay by his side quietly like now, it will be the best time wherever I go.
After passing a fork in the road, Tachibana Akane inadvertently lowered his head and noticed that there were still several marks on the boy's white shoes.
"Junior, wait for me."
"Huh?"
The boy hasn't reacted yet.
Tachibana Akane took out a wet wipe from his pocket, squatted down and wiped the gray marks on Kitagawa Kai's shoes.
It would be too rude to walk out with so many marks.
She doesn't want to lose to others in the competition of female strength.
"Okay, you're done!"
Tachibana Akane checked it over with satisfaction, and looked up to find Kitagawa Kai looking at him with a moving luster in his eyes.
Her cheeks were slightly red and she asked softly, "What's the matter?"
"It's nothing." The young man raised the corner of his mouth and stretched out his hand to pull her up, "I just think... senior sister is really nice."
"You only know now?"
Tachibana Akane smiled and held his hand, walking with him along the sign to the recording area.
After the receptionist confirmed the two people's intentions, they were politely led to the door of the control room.
A song is playing inside.
Sakura Airi and Shiranami Chihiro were sitting side by side in front of the screen, wearing headphones.
The man in charge of recording used the mouse to rewind one of the sentences and listened to it again.
The receptionist signaled the two of them to wait a moment and introduced in a low voice, "This teacher Kitano usually makes music. He occasionally comes here to experience it. He happened to be here today."
"Also, I have a bit of a weird temper sometimes, I hope you don't mind, sir."
After the playback ended, Kitagawa Kai walked in holding Tachibana Akane.
"Kai-kun, Akane-senpai!"
Shiranami Chihiro saw them first, his eyes lit up, he took off his headphones and moved to the side.
"You guys came just in time, come and help us listen!"
"What's wrong? Isn't the recording finished yet?"
"We've finished recording, now we're choosing the last version to keep." Sakura Airi pointed at several files on the screen, somewhat undecided.
"I think the second version is pretty good, and Chihiro likes the third version."
"But in the first few lines of the second version, I couldn't control my breathing well and didn't sing well." Shiranami Chihiro dragged the progress bar forward a little, and Kitano played the corresponding clip for her.
The two listened again and started chatting again.
One version has more stable pitch and more skill.
The other version sings more naturally and emotionally...
But the most embarrassing thing is that the shining moments that they are most satisfied with in several versions are not all in the same version.
The teacher Kitano was very patient, switching back and forth according to their requests, and from time to time he would point out the differences in a professional tone.
"I've listened to these two sentences for the fifth time. If you listen to them again, you won't even know the lyrics."
Shiranami Chihiro was just about to say forget it, but Kitano dragged the progress bar back again.
"However, pay attention to the second half of the sentence this time. This is the difference."
Kitagawa Kai listened for a while and couldn't help but ask, "Wouldn't it be better to keep them all?"
"It's not like I'm preparing to debut and release a physical album, I'm just using professional equipment to record today's sound."
"Since there is a favorite place every time, then just take them all. Children only have to do multiple-choice questions."
Shiranami Chihiro blinked and suddenly realized. "It seems so."
They came here to experience things, so why did they end up falling into the dead end of perfectionism while choosing?
Sakura Airi looked at the man. "Teacher Kitano, if these versions are kept, when can I get them?"
"That depends on your requirements for the later stage."
Kitano clicked on one of the files and pointed at several marked locations.
"In some places, you can fix the pitch, rhythm, and do some processing, and the overall sound will be better. If you have to do several versions, you will need to spend a little more time."
"No need to fix it."
Sakura Airi shook his head and answered seriously, "I want to leave the sound we sang here today as a souvenir."
"Well, just keep the original flavor." Shiranami Chihiro also nodded in agreement.
Kitano made an OK gesture smartly. "That will be very fast. I will mark it for you in the recording order so that you can listen to it later."
He retained the original singing, exported several versions separately, changed the file names, and then packaged and sent them.
While waiting, Shiranami Chihiro enthusiastically introduced the experience just now to Kitagawa Kai.
"At the beginning, Teacher Kitano asked me to sing the loudest lines in the whole song. I thought it was going to test my level."
Shiranami Chihiro pointed at the microphone. "I have been thinking about it for a long time. I even thought about how to finish it after singing."
"What's the result?" Tachibana Akane asked.
"The teacher said, it's okay, the volume has been adjusted, and we are ready to start recording."
"Did you just waste your investment in co-writing?" Kitagawa Kai smiled.
"Yes! I also asked if I could keep the performance I just performed. I feel like I sang very well."
Sakura Airi added, "So when it was officially recorded, she kept thinking about that one."
"But the one that wasn't recorded is really the best!" Shiranami Chihiro muttered in a depressed voice.
Not long after, the two people's Terminal received the document.
"Okay, check it out and see if you missed anything." Kitano reminded.
Sakura Airi thanked him politely, clicked on his favorite second version, and directly turned on Terminal's external playback, so that everyone could listen together.
The intro and verse both sound pretty good.
But when she sang the next verse, she looked at the waveform on the screen and suddenly dragged the progress bar back.
Huh?
This sentence... didn't it come in a little too early?
And here, why is it so obvious to ventilate on your own?
When I compared several versions horizontally just now, what I mainly listened to was the overall feeling.
Now I pay attention to my singing every word, and small problems that I had previously ignored have cropped up one after another.
Sakura Airi looked at Shiranami Chihiro with some guilt, and found that the other party was also frowning, staring at Terminal in her hand.
Their eyes met, and they understood each other's embarrassment and hesitation.
"Did you hear it too?" Chihiro asked in a low voice.
"Well, the last sentence I recorded was a bit shaky."
"I seemed to have stolen half a beat of the aria..."
After listening, the two of them looked at Teacher Kitano in front of the computer.
It's certainly nice to keep the authentic sound.
Can you slightly modify it to make the sound better, or even cut the best clips together? Doesn't it seem to affect the memory?
