Chapter 158 - 156: Eve Of The Recording II

"thanks for that Lady Serena and thank you everyone for the warm welcome. Anyway, I\'ll just go straight to the point as I\'m not really that good with words. Mr. Emil and I are currently here to get all of you familiarized on how this recording session would work. As you can see, there are four horns prepared over there." He said as he pointed towards them, then he continued.

"Its purpose is to record your voices while singing. I was informed that there are 21 of you and all will take turns in singing the lines of the song. Thus, we need to position about 5 people in front of each horn. Taking turns might become a little tricky as one has to move towards it for quieter passages and away for louder notes to avoid distortion. We would have preferred adding more horns but 5 is the maximum, and we can only place the other one in front of the instruments to ensure that the melody is captured, as the others are scattered around the room to give you all enough space. Do you have any questions?"

No one spoke, taking that as they all understood, Edward signaled Serena to take over.

Serena nodded her head. "Alright, everyone. Let us take position like we practiced last time. Let\'s try to have a go without the guidance on the movements first. Mr. Edward and Mr. Emil haven\'t heard the song yet, and this will help them gauge how to choreograph our movements while singing later."

With that, each of the performer took their position. The hired professionals were given the signal to start playing the melody with the instruments, then everyone took turns in singing.

The first time they sang, as there was no need to be conscious of the horns, everything went well. Their voices mixed very nicely, and no one was confused when it was their turn.

Edward and Emil could only nod in appreciation. It was truly genius. When the song came to an end, they both clapped their hands.

"good, now I believe we should work on your movements. Please take note that one person\'s mistake can lead to everyone repeating the whole process again. We must strive to do this perfectly when we start recording. If there are any mistakes, we will need to scrap the blank plate used to record entirely." Edward stated.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

As there were only 2 of them guiding and coaching everyone, it took about an hour and a half to finish. During that time, everyone was given light snacks.

After a while, everyone was ready. They sang the song again, this time with the movements, they encountered some difficulty initially, but after a while, they all got the hand of it. They did it twice with mistakes, but finally, on their 3rd try, they all got it correctly. It was 8:30 in the evening when they finished recording.

After that, they talked about the design for the cover of the disc. Initially, Edward suggested to have a group photo taken to be used. However, it was met with some disapproval as not everyone wanted nor can afford to have their faces plastered on the cover.

Serena getting inspiration from the original, suggested that instead of that, they can just have the title of the song printed at the front, then all of them can use some colored pens to sign their autograph surrounding the title. Then, that can be reproduced and serve as the cover.

That suggestion was met with more enthusiasm. Luckily, there were different colored pens and there was even a blank piece of paper the size of the cover in the room. Thus, they all decided to do just that even though the title of the song has not been printed.

Edward told them that he will be responsible for it later. Anyway, he suggested that they take a group photo still for souvenir. So, they did.

Afterwards, he told them that he will give everyone a copy of the photo. In addition, he will also give them a copy of the disc before it gets released to the public.

At 9 in the evening, they wrapped up the recording session, and since it was getting late and everyone still had class the next day, they all left one by one. Except for Charlton that is. He still remembered that Edward wishes to discuss something with him and that they still need to discuss the accounts of the event.

"So, I guess, it\'s just you and me now. Anyway, I know it has been a long day. You still up for discussing the accounts of the event earlier?" Edward asked Charlton.

Charlton who was still in no mood to go back to his dorm nodded his head. He knew that he won\'t be getting sleep that night after what happened earlier. So might as well just work.

"Yes, I\'m still ok. By the way, what did you want to talk about aside from that?"

"Well, I was informed that you were the one who worked on the harmony for Serena\'s songs. So, I wish to ask if you would like to partner with me on this certain venture. I know Serena\'s work is genius and no one can replicate it. However, I still want to develop some artists and produce more songs. Lately, we have been receiving a lot of applications or requests from various singers or wannabe singers to have their songs recorded and sold in the market."

Charlton did not like the sound of that, that was directly competing with Serena\'s work. "I don\'t think that I want part on that. Besides, isn\'t that directly competing with Serena\'s work?"

Edward shook his head, "It may look like that but not really. The market is huge, and we can\'t just rely on Serena\'s work all the time. The market demands that we provide them more. That\'s why I want you to consider being a recording producer with me. Your role would be to choose the artists for the approved songs and later improve the song\'s sound and structure. What do you say?"
