Gamer Superstar

Chapter 113 [Bonus ] 113 - Recording

After explaining to my parents that there was even a possibility of receiving another $10 to $20,000 from MeTube and Spokify this month, they were completely shocked.

Thinking about the money I would receive, I could not only start buying better equipment, but even buy the Honda NSX I saw for sale and customize that car.

In my previous world, I had always wanted to customize a car with my own hands in my garage, but not only did I not have a car, I didn't even have a garage.

So I was excited to be able to do that in this world, and considering how much Ethan liked Japanese cars based on the miniature cars he had, I think he'd love it if I bought the NSX.

But since I didn't have a car, I had to wait on my balcony with my guitar for Selena to arrive in her car and take me to the studio.

She arrived in a few minutes and we went into the studio.

"This is your first time in a studio, right?" Selena asked.

"Yeah... usually my studio is my garage." I replied relaxed.

"The only difference between your home studio and a professional studio is that we have an audio technician focused on us, so you don't have to control the audio of the song and edit everything manually, he'll do it himself while you're recording so everything is done as quickly as possible." Selena explained and I nodded.

A few minutes later we were in the studio.

Lila and her agent hadn't arrived yet, so we went into the room reserved for us and I started tuning the guitar while talking to the sound engineer.

Although he was only 23, he was a pastor of a church when he wasn't working here as an audio engineer, so everyone just called him Pastor.

"So you edit your own music?" He asked in surprise as he opened my MeTube channel on the studio computer and started listening to my songs.

"Yeah, I'm still learning my way around the internet and trying to figure out how to use the program, haha." I replied while continuing to tune my guitar.

Suspiciously he asked me. "How do you use a compressor to improve vocal clarity on a recording?"

After a moment's thought, I replied: "Set the threshold so that the compressor only kicks in when the voice reaches higher levels, say -10 dB, and then adjust the ratio to determine the intensity of the compression. A ratio of 3:1 or 4:1 is already smooth... then you help the..."

But before I could continue, he raised his hand and cut me off.

"Brother, did you learn all this on the Internet? I had to pay $500 for a course to learn this stuff!" He asked me in shock.

Laughing, I replied. "Everything has an answer on the Internet, the hard part is just finding the right answer for what you need."

"Yeah..." He replied a little discouraged, but as he listened to my songs, he started testing some settings on the computer to try to improve the music, and from what I observed, he was actually using a raw song to edit parts that were already finished and mixed to make it even better, which surprised me a lot.

While my level of music editing was at Lv 20, I think his level was already above Lv 25, which was a good level for someone who works with this professionally.

Since he was trying these things on my music, we started talking about it until Lila arrived, and we both learned a lot from each other in the conversation.

[Music Editing Lv 20 - > 21]

If I could see his skill level as I could see mine, I could see that he had also gained at least one level from our conversation.

Of course, he hadn't learned as much as I had, since one level in a Lv20 skill was equivalent to 3 months of practice, but maybe our conversation was more useful than studying aimlessly for a few weeks, so it might have helped him.

After a few minutes, Lila arrived with her agent, this time not wearing her cowgirl outfit, just a simple white shirt that accentuated her long brown hair that fell down her back, blue jeans and white sneakers.

Even though she was 30, if Lila said she was 23 or 24, everyone would believe her because she looked so young.

But when she stood next to someone like Selena, who was really 23 and even prettier than her, Lila ended up looking a little older.

But neither of them cared much and they officially greeted each other.

"Let me officially introduce myself to you since we didn't even get a chance to talk directly yesterday, I'm Lila Brooks, but you can call me Lila." She said as she held out her hand to me.

Smiling, I shook her hand and replied, "I'm Noah Black, or BlackVelvet, but you can call me Black, BlackVelvet, BV, or Noah."

Surprised, Lila nodded. "Now I understand where the name BlackVelvet comes from! Then I'll call you Black." She replied with a smile.

After the introductions, I took the song that Selena had typed up for the copyright application and printed it out, and we began to share the song.

Since this song had been sung solo in my previous world, we really had to share the song ourselves and think of the best moments to share it and not get weird.

That part was more fun than I thought it would be, but after a short while it was done and we went to record.

I was excited about what it would be like to record it with both of us singing at the concert!
