Chicago 1990

Chapter 105: sampling

  RememberTheName is not listed, EmpireStateofMind hasn't even finalized the lyrics yet, here comes a Feel? It? Still, Song Ya feels so happy for the first time.

   After briefly passing the sixth apocalypse song, he was even more excited.

First of all, the song is very short, less than three minutes. Second, the style is very similar to that of his first single Ifeelitcoming. The voices, singing methods and even lyrics of the two original singers are similar. Song Ya believes that once this song is sung, there is absolutely nothing People would say that he has changed his style.

   And the adaptation is not difficult. The lyrics mentioned the birth of the original singer's youngest daughter, as long as it is changed to be the child of sister Connie or alluding to girlfriend Mira.

   The most rare thing is that this song contains content that is dedicated to the cause of equal rights. It is very suitable for the current situation and perfectly fits his personality. It is worthy of the apocalypse obtained when listening to Pastor Allison's speech.

   After changing the lyrics one night and filling in the scores, he rushed to the studio to find Dilei, "I have a new idea. It also needs new synthetic sound. Time is tight. The sooner you can fix it, the better!"

   "Another one? Wow, APLUS, you are such a genius..."

  Di Lai took the score and played it roughly on the keyboard, "Wait, wait, it's not right..." He stopped halfway through the play. How could the accompaniment be a bit like the Beatles' "Please Mr. Postman"?

   "WHAT?" Song Ya was stunned.

   "Wait, Al, go to Please Mr. Postman who wants to be the Beatles." Diley shouted.

Al borrowed a record from Big A. Sure enough, the accompaniment part of the two songs is similar, just the traditional instrument used by the Beatles, while Song Ya will use a lot of synthetic sound, but the synthetic sound part is completely in the music score completed by Song Ya Caocao It couldn't be reflected, so Dile played again and found the similarities between the two songs.

   Apocalypse plug-in pit Laozi? Song Ya feels that he is being scammed now. Fortunately, Dile and Al are the only two in the studio. If the song is heard out after the song is released, the plagiarism pot on his back would be too bad.

"It's okay, this situation is normal, you know, sometimes you heard a song when you were a child or inadvertently, and his melody was...incorporated into your subconscious or dream, Freud's theory...good Well, I don’t know much, maybe he said that. Years later, you took it as your own idea when you were composing the song. This happens from time to time, right? Al." Dile was very cunning as his boss. Slow cheeks.

"Yeah." Al said, "And this song is not the original song of the Beatles, it is a cover of our black song." He took out another record, TheMarvelettes group album, the album name is PleaseMr.Postman, Something from 1960, "Big A asked me to bring it together."

"Okay, what should I do? I need this song, and I have written all my words, just to catch up with this wave of equal rights craze." Song Ya can only accept it, but he does not accept that the apocalypse will pit himself The setting, then this traverser is too difficult to do.

   "Your song will be replaced by a new synthetic sound, right?" Dile asked.

"Yes."

"That's simple, it can be counted as sampling. It is common for hip-hop music to sample past songs, and it's no problem at all. We only need to obtain the permission of PleaseMr.Postman's copyright owner, or purchase the right to sample the song." Dile said, " It should not be expensive, after all, it is something from the 1960s, and it has been covered many times."

   "That's it, then buy it. We will fix the copyright issue as soon as possible."

Song Ya let out a sigh of relief. This is really avoiding a big thunder. No, he thought of the EmpireStateofMind that hadn't been taken out. He quickly asked Dile to help identify the score. It really was another pit. This song also sampled TheMoments' LoveonaTwoWayStreet. , A song from the seventies.

   "Buy! Buy! The sampling rights for both songs must be bought." Song Ya ordered.

"Uh..." Dile scratched his head, "A+ records are almost out of money." He handed over a purchase list. This is the list of equipment updates listed by Andrew and Henry who are about to work. The two latest The 486 computer is equipped with WINDOWS operating system, some MIDI software, and a lot of professional software and hardware related to audio processing.

Song Ya just remembered that Sony Columbia had not settled the income of Ifeelitcoming. The last time A+ Copyright and Investment Management Company loaned A+ Records $200,000, the company still didn't pay a penny. After a few months, the money was burned. Time for light. In fact, it really cost more than 200,000 yuan, if Song Ya didn't use the cash income from the acupuncture to offset the ‘propaganda expenses’ to black DJs in several major cities.

   "Then please make an inquiry as soon as possible to determine the cost of sampling rights and equipment investment. I will ask Song Asheng to draw up a new budget."

   Song Ya's own liquidity is running out, "Anyway, I don't worry about debts, I will use A+ Records company's expected income on Ifeelitcoming to mortgage the bank."

   "Okay." Di Lai went for a while and learned that the copyright of one song is in the hands of MJ's ATV copyright library, and the other is in the hands of EMI.

   Song Ya didn't want to be in trouble, let him go through the normal business process, a total of 150,000 dollars, and won the right to sample two songs.

Song Asheng used part of the expected income from A+ records on Ifeelitcoming to loan one million dollars to the First Bank of New Jersey. This time, he was not affected by any councillors. It was purely to lower the interest rate of his family. It seems that this small bank is not operating. How good is Song Ya, a high-quality customer with strong collateral, is very important.

After relieving their worries, Andrew, Henry and Mavota also rented a house in Chicago and officially came to work at A+ Records. The hardware and software have also been purchased. They are all the latest and greatest products. They spent a total of $50,000 and got a new one. Toy Andrew and Henry can't wait to put into installation and commissioning.

   Song Ya has entered the familiar rhythm of going to school, recording songs, and going home.

   A few days later, the equipment debugging was completed.

   "Look at..." Andrew pointed to the screen, "I only need to adjust the soundtrack in this software..." He adjusted the mouse slightly, "Then..." The device connected to the computer made a new sound, "It's that simple."

   "Very good." Di Lai looked at Song Ya excitedly, "This way you don't have to rely solely on musicians to record synthetic sounds, which can save a lot of money."

   "Yes, yes, keep working hard." Boss Song encouraged his employees with satisfaction. Without mentioning money, hiring these two people and the time cost saved by investing in related equipment is worth the money.

At this time Hayden came in, and Fergie’s affairs were settled. He asked a colleague of William Morris in Los Angeles to buy Fergie’s agency agreement, and then asked the other party to act as Fergie’s temporary agent in Chicago. The right is transferred to his own hands.

   Another woman who followed him in, Fergie...'s sister Dana, was also her guardian.

   This woman who had been in Hollywood when she was young and also played some small roles was not clever enough in the negotiation. Song Ya felt that it was even better to let Fergie come by herself.

Last time when Fergie was chased by Big A, he heard Big A call out his name~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and immediately hit herself, and then keenly caught Big A and his younger brother's harassment and illegal imprisonment. After discovering that Big A really had nothing to do with him, he decisively dismissed the police officer who walked out of the police and called her temporary agent in Chicago by the way. The operation was really called Xingyun Liushui.

   And the silly Baitian in front of me... I don't know why the big Hollywood dye vat didn't make her smarter, but if she doesn't fool her, her agent Hayden won't help her. Song Ya is so happy.

   "You know, I stay in New York most of the time, or run publicity all over the country. The recording studio here is empty and empty."

   "Look, I have invested a lot of money in the recording studio, new computers, new equipment, all new."

   "Fuji is very embarrassed at her age. Her voice is high but her childishness is still unremoved. Nowadays, the white girls who sing adult lyric get together. Everyone is a genius who has sprung up everywhere since childhood. The competition is too fierce."

   "I know Fergie is a child star, but the fate of the Amerika child stars... Actually, I also gambled on her."

   "No, I will not promise to post a special, nor plan to sign her for five years... At most, let her sing and sing harmony in my songs."

   "Her contract for the performance of'Children's Company' ended the year before, right?"

   "Of course, I will not be stingy in the cost of singer training."

   In the end, Dana ‘selled’ Fergie for a new singer contract, a specialization for three years, and a signing fee of 50,000 dollars. During the period, A+ Records was responsible for Fergie’s tuition, dance classes and vocal training in Chicago.

  Send away Dana, Song Ya found some junk music scores that others had put on A+ records in the desk, and smiled secretly, "This stupid woman doesn't even understand the tricks of the record company, Jie Jie..."
