Superstars of Tomorrow

Chapter 149: Humanoid reference book

The two students who came in, one man and one woman, were all students of the Sixth Music Academy. The man named Thomas was asked to help Fang Zhao after class during the day. The woman named Cheng Wei, cut a very short hair with a thick sense, the flush of the bangs, the **** is more lively.

According to the two, next Tuesday is Cheng Hao’s birthday, but on Tuesday’s full day class, there are various tasks, and there is no time to come, so I moved my birthday to today, just two friends. We also have time to come here after school.

The private rooms they booked are not far from here. Others have not come yet. Thomas and Cheng Hao have just arrived. They are preparing to go to the private room they have booked. When they pass by, they will see the party call, so they come in and say hello.

Seeing Fang Zhao’s taking notes so seriously, the two people who are nearing graduation suddenly feel awkward and compare with Fang Zhao. They are simply vain!

"Oh, the pressure is great!" Thomas sighed. "It's rare to take time out to play."

The six-year university system, the better the university, the stricter the graduation requirements, the Qi'an Conservatory of Music, the best music school in Yanzhou, the graduation requirements are naturally more strict.

People who have excellent grades and solid foundations are not worried about the various assessments of graduation. Instead, they have begun to look for internship companies. Like Thomas, they don’t care much during the weekdays. Time and energy to save it, at least let yourself be more beautiful in this critical year, after all, when you are looking for a job, you must show your transcript.

Thinking of what, Thomas looked at the electric guitar hanging on the wall, and asked Fang Zhao: "Senior, how much do you know about ancient instruments? Are you not good at creating symphonic structures? The instruments used by the orchestra are not ancient. Musical instruments, but all developed from ancient instruments, I heard that you still know more about those, is the ancient instrument also touched some?"

“Ancient musical instrument?” Fang Zhao nodded, “Understanding part.”

The so-called "classical instrument" is actually the collective name of all the instruments before the end of the century in the new century. According to the rules, it should be called "old-fashioned instruments" or "old-style instruments", but the words "old" and "old" are academic. People don't want to see and don't want to hear it. They feel that they have lowered the artistic style and can't decorate the facade, so they use the word "ancient".

"What do you want to know?" Fang Zhao asked.

Thomas smiled and sat on the sofa, rubbed his hand, then raised his finger and pointed to the electric guitar hanging on the wall. "On this, according to reliable news, in the final exam of this semester, the test sites for ancient instruments, Just take the 'electric guitar', but we have six years of college life, there is no class about ancient electric guitar."

"Right right!" Cheng Hao also raised his smile and diligently poured a cup of tea on the party. "Senior, in fact, we chose this place, just to get close to the electric guitar. You also know that ancient instruments, even if it is Imitations, it is also more expensive, especially electric guitars, not a small 10,000 can not get down, and the material is excellent, imitation of the ancient electric guitar, it is more expensive, it is not our poor students Affordable. 'spae' electric guitars here are all made of antique electric guitars. They are not the evolutionary versions of the early new century. The pure ancient instruments are made in the middle and high grades. So we think about it. ... research research."

The ideas of Thomas and Cheng Hao can also be understood by Fang Zhao. A hundred years of extinction has almost formed a fault. Even if there are many videos and electronic archives information that can be preserved by various means, after the establishment of the new century, the archaeological team will continue to discover new things, but in terms of musical instruments, it can be preserved. Extremely limited, in that special period, the instrument is relatively insignificant, so the video on the instrumental guidance in the new century will be less, and the instruments of the old century are also priced by antique dealers. In the era of peace, the operability of these things is great.

In the old century, the quality of video teaching is definitely not as good as that of the new century. There are not many, not perfect, and there are fewer musicians who can survive the end of the century. Even if they survive, after a hundred years of struggle, It is not always possible to remember the knowledge techniques of the past. Not everyone can simulate a musical instrument playing scene in their minds like a party.

Other parties did not dare to say, but the ancient instruments, the two asked him to ask the right person.

"Do you want to know what kind of knowledge of electric guitar?" Fang Zhao asked.

"Not much, just want to figure out how it should be used." Thomas was afraid that the party would be bothered by their troubles. Hurry up, "The knowledge about ancient instruments should not be too fine. Anyway, the actual operation is absolutely There won't be any, so the brothers just have to say that it is the correct usage."

The instruments used in the New Century Symphony Orchestra, although the sounds produced are the same as the ancient instruments, but the appearance is quite different. After hundreds of years of development, the technology is being promoted, the materials are changing, the shape of the instruments is changing, and the ultimate goal is It is to make the operation easier and the instruments are more convenient to carry. Otherwise, these instruments will exit the historical stage under the impact of the increasingly perfect electronic musical instruments, and truly become an "antique" that can't be used.

Just like now, many music school students only need a music keyboard to download some materials, which can simulate almost all the required musical instrument pronunciation, affordable, practical, and do not learn the skills of various instruments, only learn music keyboard technology. That's it.

In contrast, the electric guitar of the old century, in the eyes of these students, is really super difficult to learn! Fortunately, their ultimate goal is to understand some basic operational and theoretical knowledge, to cope with the exam, and really let them learn the techniques of ancient electric guitar, they are not willing.

Cheng Hao also echoed next to it. "Really, we have purchased some teaching videos and watched the operations of those people inside. It feels too difficult. Many knowledge points are hard to remember. Can you explain to us?"

"I remember that there are many teaching videos on the Internet." Fang Zhaodao.

Fang Zhao knows from memory that the original subject of the body has previously dealt with the free videos and materials downloaded from the school library. By relying on the memory of others, the memory is hard to remember and the luck is high.

"Those are not necessarily reliable, you can only look at it, compare it, and then summarize it yourself." Thomas said with a bitter face. This is the source of their stress, and the workload is great!

The explanations of those videos that are freely downloaded are difficult to understand, and the people who explain them are not so clear, and the truly authoritative instruction videos also need to be bought at a large price. In addition, even if you spend so much money, you may not really get what you want to know. The things in the video may not be really correct. Some people have confirmed some popular musicians and ancient instrument researchers in previous years. There were two serious errors in the published guide video.

Although the last musician returned the money for the purchase of the video to the buyers, many students have already written the wrong knowledge points in the exam, and the points of the deduction have long been deducted, and regrets are impossible. Therefore, in general, the test sites involving ancient musical instruments are extremely easy to lose points.

For hundreds of years, no one has figured out the ancient electric guitar, but those people will not disclose the knowledge that they have hard to study. They can learn the knowledge from their mouths, only their pro-disciples, and after the succession. People, other students can't understand. This is the normal state of the industry. It was also the reason why Xue Jing’s old man was so surprised and gratified when he wrote the "New Symphony" and learned that Fang Zhao was willing to disclose his feelings and various technical knowledge.

Fang Zhao nodded and understood the mood of the two, but "only verbally, you may not be able to remember, so take the electric guitar on the wall, I will show you again."

"Playing... Demo?" Thomas groaned, and happily hurried to get up.

When taking the electric guitar off the wall, Thomas was careful, for fear that the thing would touch it, even if it was placed here for decoration, but any damage would be recorded, and it would be lost when leaving the scene.

As for the antique electric guitar in his hand, the price is estimated to be six figures. The people who open the store have money and like this instrument, even if the decoration is not decorated with inferior quality.

When handing the electric guitar on the hand to the party, Thomas's hand was shaking, confirming that the party had caught it and slowly released it.

"Senior brother, please be careful, this thing is very expensive." After Thomas finished remembering, Fang Zhao is not short of money! How much has been spent on copyright music in the past, even if it is not public, they can guess.

Since Fang Zhao is not short of money, Thomas and Cheng Hao’s enthusiasm is enough. They have not been so constrained, but they are also curious to reach out and touch. They used to come here to dare not touch the electric guitar on the wall, for fear of breaking it. Their money is occasionally played and played here, and if it is compensated, it will be bleeding.

"Today's brother, you are spending here today, we will pay for you!" Cheng Hao is also happy today, regardless of whether Fang Zhao can teach them the knowledge points they want to know, and see that Fang Zhao is willing to help them. .

"You don't have to pay for it." Fang Zhao took over the guitar and looked at Thomas. "The rest are also taken out."

"Others? What else is there? Isn't it a guitar?" Thomas wondered.

Cheng Hao gave him an elbow. "Idiot, the instructional video is white? There are speakers, wires, and effects!"

"Oh! Right! There are other things, remember it, remember it as an ancient classical guitar, and yell at me! Brother, you wait, let's find it."

Thomas and Cheng Hao found several cabinets on the wall, which looked like decorative objects. The door was automatically opened when pressed.

"This big one is the speaker... right?" Thomas looked at Cheng Hao.

"I remember it." Cheng Hao looked at Fang Zhao, saw Fang Zhao nod and smiled happily. She remembered this correctly.

"Wires, I know, what about this? Are these all?" Thomas looked at a blocky object, looking back and forth, stunned. "There are no instructions on these."

Cheng Hao can't be sure this time. She really doesn't know. What information has been mentioned in the past? I didn’t mention it in the video I watched the previous two days!

"That is the effect." Fang Zhaodao.

"Effects? These... are all? These are not the same as the videos we watched. We only have one effect in the video we watched. It doesn't last long, it is called a comprehensive effect."

"Well, there is that, suitable for beginners. There is a monoblock effect inside." Fang Zhao explained.

"Oh, understand." Thomas took the things and prepared to start the installation.

"Wait!" Cheng Hao stopped Thomas and asked Fang Zhao, "Sister, can I record this process? I can't remember it."

"Yes." Fang Zhao did not care about this.

"Thank you brother!" Cheng Hao made a look at Thomas. "Be serious, now I have to start recording."

"Remember to take my face." Thomas took the wire and paused. He turned and looked at Fang Zhao. "Brother, how do you pick it up? Don't start, you can sit there, you give orders, I will pick it up."

Fang Zhao did not refuse, Thomas could deepen his memory by himself, so he sat on the sofa and said: "The effect is placed in the middle of the speaker and the guitar wire, the wire of the guitar is connected to the input of the effect, and the output of the effect is connected. The input of the speaker..."

According to the guidance of the party, Thomas connected step by step. He used to think that the ancient musical instruments were troublesome. The various equipments were too complicated and the operation was difficult. But now I feel that when I actually do it, I have a sense of accomplishment. In fact, it is not so difficult! Look, this is connected in series, how simple!

It’s such a simple matter, but some people on the Internet talk about it in a complicated way. I don’t know what it is!

Cheng Hao then recorded this scene completely, including Fang Zhao’s explanation of each effect, what is “distortion compression noise delay reverberation”...

When concatenating the effects, Thomas picked up an effect and read the words printed on it: "ah-ah? What?"

"Wah sound pedal." Fang Zhaodao.

"Wah? Is that the one that made the sound of 'Wow, wow, wow?'" Thomas was full of surprises. "That's the sound of electric guitar!? I don't even know!"

They usually use the "wow" material downloaded directly in the music keyboard, and they don't know that it is the sound of the ancient electric guitar! If this is a multiple-choice question, he can only rely on Mongolia.

After the connection, the party called for a demonstration, Thomas stood next to listen carefully, and when the need to change the effect of the hands to go.

The middle party will also allow Thomas and Cheng Hao to express their opinions and ask questions.

"This paragraph that you just talked about is not the same as the reference video we saw last time." Cheng Wei asked.

"listen to me."

"...Yes." Cheng Wei should sing.

Thomas is more willing to believe in calling. "I said that the reference video I bought last time must have been wrong. If I really follow the record, I will not lose it when I say it! Not only is it bad, it is the wrong person. How did the teacher get the professional teacher qualification certificate? There must be something inside!"

"Don't worry about the insider's inside, hurry, according to the brothers, I still recorded." Cheng Hao interrupted Thomas's complaints, she still waited for the explanation and demonstration behind Fang Zhao, before she just held the test Trying to think about it, as long as you can get a little knowledge point from the party call, who knows, the surprise of Fang Zhao to them is too great! It is a comprehensive explanation! Covering all the basics about electric guitars, it is absolutely enough for them to take exams!

This is the humanoid reference book!

If these can be sent to the class group, then the class... No, when the entire Qi’an Conservatory needs the knowledge of archaeological electric guitar, it’s crazy!
