Debut or Die - Chapter 307
If I can’t debut, I’ll get sick to death. Episode 307 The
composing camp started right away.
The item is within 60 seconds of arrangement of BOSTEMA BGM from the follow-up to < 127 Section >.
“Why are wow game songs so addictive?”
“It seems more like that because the section is repeated.”
It’s not something to risk your life, so the members turned on the composition program while having a leisurely conversation to create an atmosphere.
Everyone knows the basics because the agency gave them basic training on how to use a composing program formally from the time they started marketing with self-producing at the time of their debut.
The problem is that even that was of no use for three years.
“Mmm.”
“Why is the order here? Let me know!”
“This once… Top notes.”
‘It’s a piece of shit.’
I looked down at my laptop screen.
I know I have to take the original sound and put it in, but… There’s no such thing as a well-understood rule of thumb.
– Moondae, do you know how to call this?
-… I’m going to watch the basic lecture.
Yes. To put it bluntly, we were just X rice.
Everyone knew it, but I didn’t deliberately study harder than I did.
‘That doesn’t fit the purpose.’
Because this is a hobby
“I’m so sorry, but this… … .”
“It’s a drum machine group!”
“… thank you.”
I saw Rabin Kim answering the questions around him wholeheartedly even while operating his laptop quickly without blinking.
Even then, it gets sucked into the laptop again.
On the contrary, the hectic surroundings do not allow one to agonize over composing.
‘It’s fine.’
I also moved the mouse and started building the base appropriately.
and after some time
“Three hours over! Now let’s hear each other~”
“Wow!!”
Except for Kim Rae-bin anyway, it was a three-hour work for all of them, so I took turns playing the songs without much burden.
And as expected, the degree of perfection was shit, but… Unexpected pieces of shit started popping up.
“Hahahaha!”
“This is great!”
“Yeah, cool!”
An out-of-tune whistle blasts through the Bluetooth speaker.
It was fortunate that it was a mountain hut. If it was a resort, I would have been kicked out.
I shook my head as I listened to Cha Yu-jin’s crazy arrangement.
“How is your brother?”
“It’s like thunder.”
“Hi-Hi.”
It’s not a compliment, but it’s good. When I turned my head, Kim Rae-bin’s pupils were shaking. He looks flustered.
It’s easy to give feedback though.
It’s because you can give advice and talk to your heart’s content instead of thinking that the other person is a better person and is acting presumptuously.
While listening to Seon Ah-hyun’s song, which happened to be the next hitter, Kim Rae-bin, who was seated next to him, finally opened his mouth.
“What do you think… ?”
“that… .”
Besides, you have to say only good things.
The pressure to answer honestly offsets it once more.
Kim Rae-bin played the sound a few times earnestly and earnestly, and seemed to be doing everything in his power to squeeze out compliments.
“The harmony is thicker than the original song, so it sounds soft and beautiful… !”
I guess so. Because the original song was 8-bit.
“I see… . Thank you.”
Still, Seon Ah-hyun’s face brightened because it was a compliment from an expert.
“Right, it feels more like a main character than a boss, right? It’s Ahyeon too~”
“… It’s easy to hear.”
There really is no club. Kim Rae-bin said quietly.
“That is correct. The guitar sounds good, so I think it would be beautiful to turn up the volume a little more.”
What is it? Now I see one that I want to polish a little.
It seemed certain that I was freed from the evaluation pressure. If you praise the arrangements of these beginners, you will gain confidence.
And not long after, the time to play Kim Rae-bin’s song came.
I deliberately did not put it at the end or front, and put it in the middle.
“Oh~ Lavin~”
“Yes. I will play it.”
Kim Rae-bin operated the mouse with a slightly excited face.
And the sound, tightly woven like a spider’s web, began to flow.
“… !”
It wasn’t a song form.
A sleek structure close to New Age.
The original taste of the background and theme was faithfully maintained by arranging the short sections of the time when it was BGM.
However, the resolution of the song was different.
‘… I can’t believe it can sound like this.’
It feels like it was ideally implemented by pulling out the essence of the song that entered people’s ears and remained in their heads.
And after the first 30 seconds, different elements are mixed and the song rises.
“… !”
“This is our song! Right?”
It is the signature of the rap part of the collaboration OST ‘Bonus Book’ we made and mixed it.
Forging that sounds sad somewhere falls like water droplets on a spider web-like structure.
The character’s narrative matched perfectly, and the pleasure of the song’s development was great.
“Hey~”
“Rabin, this is so good??”
okay. good night.
It’s not a song that’s likely to be sold to the public, but the song was good enough for me to express it with expressions like spider webs.
And even though they decided to give only positive feedback, there was sincerity in their gestures and voices.
“I love hearing this!”
Kim Rae-bin seemed a little taken aback by the admiration, but also a little bit emotional.
I rated it short.
No other words were needed.
“It’s more like the original than the original.”
“… !!”
Rabin Kim raised his head. I nodded.
“… thank you.”
I heard his voice tremble, but I didn’t bother pointing it out.
Raebin Kim looked at the laptop screen and touched the touchpad even after the one-minute arrangement finished.
We left him alone for a while.
And by the time Kim Rae-bin came to his senses, the next guy came, which was like a public execution.
“Um~ Next is Mundae!”
it’s me
I sighed inwardly, but I was the one who brought myself to this hell.
‘Short and bold end.’
And hit play.
Ugh.
Well, since this character was a symbol of a drone, I made it sound like an ominous sound by making use of the electronic sound more.
And that crackling… I also gave a complex musical instrument effect.
Nodding around.
“Are you okay?”
is it? no sympathy needed
Listening to this after the perfect pro’s song, there is no dog step back.
It sounds like the ‘grabbing ear’ is screaming.
I crossed my arms without inspiration, but Kim Rae-bin across from me raised his hand.
“The elements are fun and it seems that you have a clever sense in modifying the melody… !”
“I know. Mundae must have a sense.”
Even Kim Rae-bin said empty words… for a moment.
I saw his face
Kim Rae-bin’s face was focused on the song, just like when he checked the subject on TV.
“… ?”
Are you serious?
He even comes to my laptop and checks the notes I took.
And he clenched his fists.
Like you want to hold a mouse.
“brother! If you’re not going to excuse me, I’m just a little bit of this song… .”
“okay.”
Rabin Kim looked up at me with a bewildered expression.
“It’s good for me if you trim it.”
A smile grew on his face as if he couldn’t contain it.
He had a bright face, not like someone with a bad impression.
* * *
On the first day of the composition camp, the content was changed to Kim Rae-bin’s arrangement lecture.
-There are many rough and strong sounds in the VST you wrote, so if you adjust the level here… .
-WOW!
Kim Rae-bin excitedly gave advice to the members to take advantage of their arrangements, and the members quite happily corrected their own songs.
And my song… Well, almost like Kim Rae-bin did some remodeling.
The strange thing is that the original feel was left behind.
-The idea you used for the arrangement was great and the direction was clear, so it progressed quickly!
In other words, doesn’t that mean I didn’t notice the imbalance that would be obvious in your hands?
… Well, if you’re satisfied with it anyway.
Kim Rae-bin changed all 7 theme songs to his own version, satisfactorily had dinner, and ended the camp that day.
And now it’s dawn.
“hmm.”
I woke up alone before the alarm went off, so I thought I’d check today’s schedule in advance.
I stepped on the blanket and sat down at the kitchen table, avoiding the guys who were about to kick me.
and shook his head
‘today… .’
I’m thinking of picking children’s songs and idol titles one by one and combining them.
Of course, as an idol, we will choose among the outstanding juniors and make sure we never officially use them.
‘And when time permits, Ryu Cheong-wu even brought hiking boots… ‘
“?”
At that time, the guy who had been sleeping with the blanket spread out in the kitchen opened his eyes.
This is Rabin Kim.
“tight.”
“No, thanks… ”
And then he staggers up and sits across from me.
“I really want to say thank you.”
now?
“It may be that my self-consciousness is bloated, but I feel that you have been very considerate of me so that I can recover my competencies for composition… .”
“Not caring.”
I tilted my head.
And the words I had to say when I confiscated my laptop a few days ago came out.
“We had to gradually develop a hobby of composing. There are seven members, but it’s abnormal to put all the burden on one person.”
“… … .”
“So it’s okay if I beat you up for not wanting to compose. Everyone wasn’t doing it, what?”
However, Kim Rae-bin struggled to open his mouth.
“But many people are looking forward to it. The company’s employees and the AR team also said they were waiting for my song.”
“Are you afraid that people will be disappointed if you can’t use it?”
Kim Rae-bin hesitated. It means positive.
I held back a sigh.
“Rabin. You are good at stage and rap, but why do you act like you are good at only one thing?”
“… !”
“It’s good if you do it because writing songs is fun, and if you don’t, even if you change the method, this group will work somehow. You can buy the song.”
Kim Rae-bin raised his head.
“Of course, it’s true that you make ridiculously good songs, and thanks to you, I’m getting a lot of help. We should be grateful for that.”
I spoke calmly.
“But if you don’t do it, it’s not your fault, and it’s not ruining you either. Let’s always remember that there are other options.”
“yes.”
Kim Rae-bin answered while holding both hands tightly and lowering his head.
“I will not forget.”
The answer was watery, but there was certainly a sense of relief as well.
‘It was right that the pressure was severe.’
When I kept making it well, it didn’t touch my skin, but when I slipped once, I was scared.
Worrying that your reputation will be ruined and that you can do a lot of damage to the team.
‘Come to think of it, it was like that when I was badly criticized in < Azusa >.’
During the 2nd team battle, I remembered that this guy was so intimidated that he blindly accepted the feedback.
‘… Could that have been the cause?’
Well, it’s not something that can only be guessed at now, so let’s move on.
But anyway, since I said it after making a good song like this again and getting out of my helplessness, it should be a bit easier to breathe.
I waited until Kim Raebin calmed down.
After briefly wiping his face with his shirt, he opened his mouth again in a locked voice as if he had made up his mind.
“I… But can I just tell you one thing?”
“okay.”
Let’s see.
I even expected to say, ‘With the current members’ composing skills, my hiatus will be fatal.’
However, Kim Rae-bin said seriously.
“All members are involved in the production of albums and activities, so it seems like an exaggeration to say that I am helping unilaterally… !”
He’s a really consistent guy.
“okay.”
I smiled and untied my arms.
“thanks.”
“no.”
Kim Rae-bin answered steadfastly.
Beyond that, you can see the veranda where the sun rises and the light comes in. It seems to push the darkness away.
‘It’s good.’
And a cylinder shining with golden light… .
hmm.
[Big 150,000, Small 70,000]
[Cash price]
I said without thinking.
“Shall we have a drink?”
Kim Rae-bin followed my gaze and checked the ginseng liquor. And shouted with a bright expression.
“yes! I will follow you.”
“… ?”
I thought you would say no.
However, Kim Rae-bin has a puzzled face.
“yes? They said that ginseng wine is good for the mind and body… .”
“… Grandma?”
“yes!”
okay. That’s right. I drank ginseng wine with Kim Rae-bin at 6:30 am when everyone else was asleep.
The alcohol I drank in a long time was not as thrilling as I remembered, but the taste was good.
* * *
“Does anything bother you?”
“No something… Looks like the layout has changed.”
I ignored Bae Se-jin’s words when I woke up in the morning. There is no evidence.
Instead, the moment when I was about to proceed with my next schedule after having a good breakfast with rice balls.
One of the guys who was rejoicing while playing the songs he made yesterday opened his mouth.
“hmm… Rabin. Rather than not revealing this at all, should I put it on the Internet? It’s a pity that only we hear it.”
“… ! You mean on Testa’s social media account?”
I did it this way to make sure it doesn’t happen.
‘… Originally, I was going to do it on the last day after camp.’
Now that the words are out, let’s move on.
I naturally moved to the next step.
“We just create a WeTube account and upload it. We don’t have to use our names, can we?”
“Oh, yes.”
“Okay, that will work!”
Bae Se-jin shouted out because he was more excited and quickly created an account. He’s doing well.
I reviewed the order.
Camp level 1.
1. I keep making songs for my hobby without intermediate feedback.
And next step.
This is Muravel verification.
“Oh wait a minute~ Why don’t we pick out our screen image first?”
… However, this spreads to a much larger scale verification than I expected.
