After knowing that the tone and range of his voice had greatly improved compared to before, the idea of recording his own songs immediately appeared in Sun Hao's mind. Whatever he thought of, he would immediately implement it. This was the principle that Sun Hao had always followed since his rebirth.
However, just having an idea was not enough. Sun Hao did not have the equipment to record songs. Sun Hao thought of using the Walkman that his father, Sun Jianming, sold to Sun Hao to record songs, but Sun Hao immediately rejected the idea. A Walkman was fine for listening to music, but it would be too funny if it was used to record songs. After the recording, the noise would be very loud. Even he couldn't stand it, let alone others.
Therefore, during dinner, Sun Hao proposed the idea of buying recording equipment to his parents.
"Mom, can I discuss something with you?”Since he was buying professional equipment, he needed a lot of money. Although Sun Hao was rich, he was still young. Whether his parents could accept it was still a problem.
"Oh? What's the matter with Haohao? Tell Mom." Hearing that her son had something to discuss with her, her mother, Huang Shufen, was very happy. His son had always been very sensible. Which parent would not want their child to discuss things with them?
"Mom, it's like this. I want to buy some music equipment.”Sun Hao said carefully when he saw his father, Sun Jianming, eating with his head lowered and ignoring him.
"Didn't Mommy buy you a guitar? Why do you still want to buy things?" Her mother, Huang Shufen, said in surprise because she didn't know much about music.
"Mom, the guitar is used for accompaniment and performance. I want to buy recording equipment and a computer.”Since Sun Hao urgently needed these things, he blurted them out.
"Recording is fine. I know you like music. It's good to record your own songs and listen to them when you have nothing to do. But why did he need to buy a computer? A computer is very expensive. Besides, do you know how to use it?”His mother, Huang Shufen, asked in surprise when she heard that her son wanted to buy a computer.
"Yeah, you're still so young. You're only in the first year of middle school. Why do you need a computer? Dad is already a teacher, but the unit hasn't compensated him with a computer yet.”His father, Sun Jianming, raised his head and said in support of his wife.
"They are all used for making music. You know, I sang a song that I wrote myself in the last competition. It will be more convenient for me to make music after I buy a computer.”Sun Hao said earnestly.
"Since our son has said so, let him buy it. It seems that our Haohao has grown up and knows how to make his own decisions.”Huang Shufen said with a smile as she patted Sun Hao's head.
"Yeah, Haohao, since you like music so much, go ahead and buy it. Your mother and I will support you, but don't delay your studies. I'll go to the computer city to buy one for you in two days. I'll also learn it well.”His father, Sun Jianming, still attached great importance to his son's studies.
"Dad, let me buy it myself. I still need to buy some music equipment. I won some prize money from the last competition, so I don't need your money.”When Sun Hao heard that his father, Sun Jianming, wanted to buy it for him, he objected. Because the computer used to make music was different from the usual home computer, it was better to buy it himself.
After repeated negotiations, Sun Hao finally got his parents 'approval.
The next day was the weekend. After being shocked by Sun Hao's guitar skills, Song Chunfeng was now convinced by Sun Hao. Early in the morning, Song Chunfeng arrived at Sun Hao's house as scheduled to be a tutor. As soon as he entered Sun Hao's house, he was dragged out by Sun Hao.
"Sun Hao, what are you doing? Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Wait…Don't pull me so hard. I've come all the way to your house. You have to let me rest for a while.”Seeing Sun Hao's anxious look, Song Chunfeng complained even though he didn't know why Sun Hao was pulling him out and found it funny.
"Brother Li, hurry up and accompany me to the computer city.”Sun Hao said as he pulled Song Chunfeng out.
"Computer City? Don't tell me you want to buy a computer? Why did you buy a computer? Do you know that computers are very expensive?”Song Chunfeng said in surprise when he heard Sun Hao's words.
"Ah?" Sun Hao was stunned. How could he have forgotten about this? It was only 1999, and computers were still in the development stage. They were much more expensive than they would be ten years later. Unlike in the modern world, where one could buy a good computer for three to four thousand yuan, the most ordinary computer in this era cost about ten thousand yuan.
"Then what should we do, Big Brother Li? I urgently need a computer and recording equipment for recording. The prize money from the last competition was only 10,000 yuan.”Thinking of this, Sun Hao said with some annoyance.
Seeing Sun Hao's anxious look, Song Chunfeng smiled and said,""Why didn't you tell me about this first? It just so happens that some of the senior students in our school have gone for internships. Some of them are selling computers. Although it's not the latest configuration, it's almost enough for you to use.”
"That's great." Sun Hao thought that the main reason he wanted a computer was to use it for recording. The main reason was that the sound card was better. The current recording software was not as demanding as in the future, which often required more than 4 GB of memory. He could buy an old one now and buy a better sound card at the computer city later. That way, he would have extra money to buy better recording equipment.
Under Song Chunfeng's lead, Sun Hao arrived at the campus of City H. He looked at the familiar face of the university he had spent three years in his later life. Sun Hao sighed.
With Song Chunfeng's introduction, Sun Hao spent 2000 yuan to buy a computer with a low configuration from his classmate. However, this was already very satisfying for Sun Hao.
It had a 400MbHZ CPU, 128Mb of SD memory, a 10G hard disk, and an integrated graphics card. A 15-inch monitor. In Sun Hao's opinion, it was a good configuration at that time. It was a good deal to buy it for 2000 yuan. This was because the current mainstream configuration was not much higher than this.
After Sun Hao and Song Chunfeng moved the computer to Sun Hao's room, the two of them rushed to the computer city.
Most ordinary computers had an integrated sound card because most people didn't have high requirements for sound. As long as they could listen to music and play games, it would be fine. However, it was different for Sun Hao, who was preparing to record music professionally in the future. The quality of the sound would make a huge difference to the song. The difference between listening to music on a tape and listening to music on a CD was the same.
After looking around the computer city, Sun Hao and Song Chunfeng finally chose a Yamaha 724F sound card. This sound card was newly released at that time, and it was enough for Sun Hao's current requirements. It was a YMV-724 audio processing chip with 4 channels. It could already be used by Sun Hao to simulate the input.
After choosing the sound card, the two of them walked to Prince's Music Store.
When he walked into Prince's Music Store, Sun Hao saw that the fat boss was already lying on his chair, resting and looking at ease.
"Ahem." Sun Hao coughed to remind the boss that a customer had arrived.
The boss slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Sun Hao again, he was so scared that he fell off his chair with a thud. He hurriedly ran over.
"Aiyo, my little ancestor, why are you here again?”The fat boss said in annoyance. It seemed that the nightmare of Sun Hao buying the guitar from him at the purchase price last time had not been forgotten.
"Hello, Boss. You still remember me? Good memory, hehe. I came here to buy some recording equipment.”Sun Hao smiled when he saw the helpless look on the boss's face.
"My little ancestor, I don't want to make money by selling you anything else. I already lost money selling you the zither last time.”The fat boss was so anxious that he was about to cry. If everyone used the purchase price to buy things like him, he wouldn't be able to eat and might as well close the shop.
"Don't worry, Boss. It won't be like last time. As long as your price is reasonable and you don't use fake goods to fool me, I'll definitely let you earn money.”Sun Hao smiled at the fat boss.
"That's good, that's good." The fat boss wiped the sweat off his face and asked Sun Hao,""Then what do you need to buy?"
Sun Hao thought about the equipment he needed for the recording.
First of all, a sound mixing console was needed. The sound mixing console was the core component of recording. Without it, Sun Hao basically couldn't complete the recording task. Even though some recording software didn't require a sound console, and the sound card that Sun Hao had just bought had the basic functions of a sound console, it wasn't as professional as buying a special sound console. Sun Hao thought that he might need to use a band to record songs in the future, so he had to use a mixing console. The second thing that was needed was a slightly. Professional monitors were different from ordinary home Hi-Fi speakers. Even the high-end audio in the expensive home theater was not suitable for recording songs because it was not standard. Therefore, Sun Hao didn't want to save much money on the slightly.
Then, the most important thing was the Condenser Microphone. The professional Condenser Microphone was used in the recording. This kind of microphone was very sensitive and required 48V power supply. When recording or singing, they needed to keep a certain distance from the microphone. Generally, one microphone was enough to meet the needs of ordinary recording. If the space was relatively large, more than one microphone would be needed to record a chorus. In the current situation, Sun Hao only needed one.
Microphone amplifier. Microphone amplifier had a great impact on the sound quality of the songs recorded in the room. However, a good amplifier was not cheap. This made Sun Hao consider for a long time. Although he could use the gain on the mixing console to amplify the signal without buying it, the difference in sound quality was too great without a professional microphone amplifier! In order to record the good silver color and effect, Sun Hao decided to buy one. Voice effects. The voice effects were mainly used to add effects to the recorded songs. Although the software could also add effects, the sound quality calculated by the software was far less warm and broad than the sound produced by the hardware.
Earphones, earphones included professional monitoring earphones used by recording artists and earphones used by singers. Sun Hao decided to buy a good one for Song Chunfeng, who was working with him as a sound engineer, to mix and buy two ordinary ones for his own recording. Headphone splitter. Although the earphone splitter would not affect the sound quality of the recording in the recording studio, it was indispensable.
Because everyone's earphones had to be connected to the earphone splitter, otherwise, the earphones would not be able to make any sound. One earphone splitter can connect 4-12 earphones. The microphone spray cover was used to prevent the singer's breath from spraying onto the microphone and producing a "puff puff" sound.
Microphone stand, intercom microphone. The intercom microphone was placed in the control room for the recording engineer to communicate with the singer. A card holder was necessary because the cost of recording a CD was too high. Sun Hao didn't have the ability to buy such expensive equipment at the moment, so a card holder was the equipment that Sun Hao needed to record ordinary tape.
"I need a mixing console, monitor slightly, a microphone amplifier, and a vocal effect device.。。。。。”Sun Hao reported a bunch of equipment names.
The fat boss's eyes lit up as Sun Hao reported the equipment. It seemed that these things were enough for the fat boss to make a fortune.
"Are you sure you want all these things?”The fat boss was surprised that a child needed so many things.
"Don't you have it here? Then I'll go to another place." Sun Hao pulled Song Chunfeng and turned to leave.
"Yes, yes, yes. My little ancestor, don't leave just like that.”Seeing that Sun Hao was about to leave, the fat boss hurriedly pulled him back.
"That's good. Among the equipment I mentioned above, the condense microphone must be good.”Sun Hao emphasized.
Condenser microphones were the most important part of recording songs. The sound detection principle of the microphone was to use an extremely thin gold-plated film as one pole of the microphone. There was another fixed pole separated by a few millimeters. This formed a few P farad of the microphone. The film pole vibrated with the sound wave, causing the capacity of the microphone to change, forming an electrical signal.(1 Farad =**P Farad). Its internal resistance was extremely high, reaching the level of G Ohms (1G Ohms =** Ohms). Therefore, a circuit was needed to convert the G Ohms into a common 600 Ohms. This circuit, also known as the "pre-amplifier circuit," was usually integrated into the interior of the microphone. It required a "phantom power supply" to power the circuit.
Because of the existence of this pre-amplifier circuit, the microphone needed phantom power supply to work properly. Condenser microphones with phantom power supply were generally very sensitive, much more sensitive than commonly used dynamic microphones. In other words, no matter whether the Condenser Microphone was used to record on a computer or other equipment, the phantom power supply was necessary, and the sound recorded would not be lower than that of a dynamic microphone. Therefore, Sun Hao was in dire need of a good microphone.
"Of course, of course. I'll use Audition Technica.”the fat boss said as he took out everything Sun Hao needed. After a slight calculation, he said,"The total is 9800 yuan. Thank you for your patronage."”
"Do you need me to read your fortune?" Sun Hao didn't know much about the prices of these things, but his intuition told him that the fat boss must have calculated too much. At the same time, Sun Hao only had 7,000 yuan left after deducting the money he had spent on the computer.
"Then…I'll take it as 8,000.”The fat boss was sweating again. Why did this kid know everything?
"Just 7,000. If it works, we'll carry it away. If it doesn't work, we'll go to another house.”Sun Hao said to the fat boss.
After thinking for a long time, the fat boss finally gritted his teeth and said,"Deal!"
