After Si Huang went to his room to rest, Wei Ran stopped playing the piano for fear of disturbing the other party.Leaving the piano room and coming to the recording studio, the recording equipment has been warmed up, the microphones are placed, and Wei Ran starts recording the drum part of "Snow Falling".Unlike the drum part of "Butterfly", which has a lot of flowers added, the drums of "Snow Falling" are very simple. OK.

The speed of the whole song is very slow. Such a slow rhythm is actually a disaster for some drummers who are used to double-stepping. Drums tend to play faster and faster, resulting in unstable rhythm.The reason is that they can't calm down.This kind of mistake often happens among young drummers in metal bands. When all technology becomes clouds, their weaknesses are exposed.

This kind of rhythm is a test of the drummer's sense of rhythm. It cannot be dragged or rushed. Often the simplest things can best reveal a person's strength.Wei Ran recorded the drums of "Snow Falling" twice. It is not difficult for him to calm down and play the drums. Besides, his drumming level can only be regarded as above-average. Such a simple rhythm makes him very worry-free.Due to the low position of the snare drum microphone in the first recording, the recorded sound resonated, so Wei Ran adjusted the position of the microphone and recorded the second time.

After the drums are recorded, it is the guitar. The whole song uses an acoustic guitar to drive the entire harmony part. A large number of guitar playing skills, especially appologia and portamento, fully express this fresh and graceful expression.This kind of expression not only has great requirements for performance, but also is very demanding for recording. The sound of fingers rubbing against the strings, the vibration of fluctuating strings and the unique crisp sound of acoustic guitar must be recorded gently and clearly, in order to express the expected Effect.The speed of the whole song is not fast, so that Wei Ran can slowly think about the next position and the position of the next slide.

Wei Ran is usually exposed to the piano and the violin most of the time. She has not studied other instruments very deeply, so she is inevitably a little unfamiliar with the guitar.It took some time to tune the strings, and some time to familiarize himself with the guitar direction of "Snow Falling" before he started recording. "Snow Falling" has only one main melody, and there are only two sets of corresponding guitar movements. In this simple and repeated chord, Weiran made a difference in the loudness of each note so that the whole song does not sound so rigid. Almost every two bars, there is a slide and the unique sound of the acoustic guitar, which makes the whole song come alive.

The guitar is just one of the highlights in "Snow Falling". The second melody of the bagpipes and the clear vocals are the most anticipated parts of "Snow Falling". It is based on the female vocal range, and he doesn't know if he can sing well... so there is still a way to go before the song is finished.

After the guitar was recorded, it was 4 pm. After thinking about it, Wei Ran continued to record the synthesizer.The synthesizer plays a decorative role in "Snow Falling". It does not appear for a long time but the tone switches frequently. After selecting the tone and directly connecting it to the console, Weiran solves the synthesizer part once.

After recording drums, guitars, and synthesizers and saving the project files and audio, Wei Ran turned off the computer and recording equipment, and picked up the bagpipes that were set aside to study.

The bagpipe is a folk musical instrument that became popular in the Middle Ages in Europe. Its sound is very penetrating and very beautiful, and it is often used in festivals.When writing "Snow Falling", he may have been influenced by the tranquil atmosphere in Germany. He thought of using ancient European musical instruments as the second melody. The music must be unique and beautiful, and he finally chose bagpipes.

After searching for videos on how to play the bagpipe, Wei Ran started to try to play it. The movements of his fingers will not be difficult for him, but... how to blow the air bag of the bagpipe to the full is a difficult problem, which requires enough lung capacity, which is a pity ... Weiran, who is small in stature, obviously does not have enough lung capacity.After trying to play twice and found that he couldn't play a complete melody, Wei Ran held the bagpipe and frowned slightly, feeling very distressed.

Does he need to exercise?

The teenager who was thinking didn't even notice that he had been stared at by someone for a while.After waking up, Si Huang was about to ask Wei Ran to have dinner, when he came to the door of the recording studio and quietly opened the door, he saw a boy holding a bagpipe with a dazed expression.He was still so quiet and indifferent, but... Si Huang read the emotion of "I'm very troubled, what should I do" from his face, and secretly found it very interesting.

Si Huang likes the music written by teenagers, and likes teenagers who devote themselves to the music. Of course, he also likes the real teenager who is confused like this now. He still wants to see more sides of him, and he will never be satisfied.His dark brown eyes glowed like a star river, reflecting an unquenchable blazing heat.

'Dong Dong' he knocked on the door, pretending to have just arrived, and asked: "You seem troubled by the instrument in your hand."

"Ah, Si Huang, you're here." Wei Ran tilted her head: "I tried to play it, it's a bit difficult."

"Is it... a problem with lung capacity?" Si Huang thought about the skill of playing the bagpipe for a while, and explained the problem with a single word, and he got an affirmative reply from the other party.

"If you don't mind, I can record it for you. I happen to have learned bagpipes."

"Hmm...won't I bother you?" Thinking of how busy the lead singer of this popular band seemed to be, Wei Ran was not ashamed to occupy his private time.

Si Huang smiled and shook his head, "The promotional schedule in Europe is not tight, and there are no schedules for the past few days, so I won't bother me."

Wei Ran thought about it, although she didn't know how well Si Huang played the bagpipe, but it was better than his intermittent playing, so she begged, "Then I will trouble you."

"My pleasure."
