RECORDING

JAESUNG

"We, the LC Entertainment are debuting another boy K-pop group this month. The group is named SYNX and the first unit that will be debuting under this group name will be SVII. Their concept is all about the advanced technology that can conquer the whole multiverse. The said subunit will be having 7 members. 3 vocalists and 4 rappers. They will be debuting next month, April 9th at 6 PM KST with their first Mini Album entitled We Are The SYNX" I heard the reporter on the news. LC Entertainment finally made a statement about our debut date. They moved it next month for us to have plenty of time for left and right interviews.

"This is really happening" I heard Len Ji murmur on the side of the recording studio.

"I thought this is just a dream" Jen Le responded. We are about to record today the title track for our song.

"The title track of your album is a hardcore electric beat song. This is the first experimental song of the company because your concepts are different. We're taking this on the next level" The music director said. Yes, he's right. The song is kind of weird and different from the songs we used to listen to.

"As you can hear from the demo, the song has 5 high notes. 3 for the main vocalist, and 1 each for the lead vocalist. In terms of the rapping part, the rappers have their own stanza alone. The bridge is mixed of vocals and raps that will make the listener confused." The executive producer said.

"Shall we start with the recording? the first member will be Min Hyuck" Min Hyuck got shocked when he heard his name. He looks at us and murmured.

"I'm not prepared yet."

"You can do that" I cheered him. He stands up quietly and has an awkward smile on his face.

Min Hyuck entered the recording room and he wore the headset. A while later, the music director gives asked him if he was ready.

"I'm quite nervous right now" He answered.

"Don't worry. We got your back" The music director responded.

"Basically, you're going to follow how the demo was sung by the demo artists. It's easy because you're not going to imagine how to match the lyrics in the stanza. All you need is to give the right strength, emotions, and execution of the lyrics to the song for it to be blended. The emotions are important, always remember that." The executive producer said and while looking at Min Hyuck, he's listening carefully.

"Shall we start?" The assistant music director asked.

"Let's play it" The instrument played on Min Hyuck's headset. We can hear the raw process as the editors are listening to it as well as using speakers.

Min Hyuck started the song with a fast rap with a cool tone in his voice. We get goosebumps with how he can quickly execute the words from his mouth without having a mistake.

"One more time again. We're doing the adlibs now. At this point, you need to use your voice loud and angry.

"Alright." The instrumental played again and he began rapping in loud voice to add layers to the song. As I heard from them, layering will help the song to be completed.

Later on, Min Hyuck finished recording his part and get out of the recording room.

"come here and listen to this" The musical director played the raw version of the recording and Min Hyuck got shocked by its partial results.

"All you need to improve is the emotions with each word. Since your part is rap, sometimes you intend to read those words and not rap anymore. The emotions are vanishing which is really important but with this output, I think it's already enough" The vocal critics of Min Hyucks rap.

"Thank you so much. I'll make sure that I will improve next time." He said. He went beside us and we greeted him.

"congrats! You did well!" I congratulated him smilingly.

"Thank you so much. Hoogh! The nervousness inside my heart is aggressive." He replied.

"Next, Jaesung" I stand up quickly as I heard my name. I proceeded inside the recording studio and wore the headset.

"WAAAAAH" I shouted which makes everyone on the outside shocked.

"I am sorry. I am just vocalizing and releasing my nervousness" I apologized.

"No that's okay. It will help you too." The executive producer exclaimed.

"For Ahn Jaesung, the voice we're requesting you to do is sexy. Soft, calm, and classy. This does not speed rap as Min Hyuck's." The producer said.

"noted on that. Let's start!" I said in excitement but to be honest my heart might explode later on.

The instrumental song played and I began rapping the part that was assigned to me. I am trying my best not to make mistakes because I don't know what will be their reaction.

"Okay let's do it again, Jaesung. We noticed that you're lacking breath." The editor said.

"I'm sorry" I sighed deeply to chase my breathing.

"You can breathe. We don't want you to lose some air because you might collapse. I think you're just nervous the reason you're having difficulty in breathing." He advises.

"Breath in, breathe out," The executive producer said and Jaesung followed it.

"Are you now okay?"

"Much better"

"Don't be nervous. We may be strict but this is for the perfection of your album. Remember that okay?" the music director reminded us. I think they're true besides they are just doing their jobs.

"Okay let's start over." After their signal, I began rapping my part in a calm way that I won't be able to lose breathing.

Minutes after, we proceeded with adlibs and some backing vocals with Min Hyucks part.

"You did great," The executive producer said and I removed the headset.

"I'm finished?" I asked cluelessly.

"Yes." and I go out of the room.

"Next will be Jaeyon" Jaeyon stands up and proceeded inside the recording room.

"Your part is quite long. This requires speed and a little bit of boastfulness in your voice. The introduction of your group will depend on you because, in this stanza, everything about SYNX will be heard."

"Alright" He answered sparingly. I can see on his face that he's nervous. Jaeyon is also like me. We want this to be perfect as we don't want to disappoint other people.

"Let's start" The demo played and Jaeyon began rapping. It made me gape as he continues to rap fastly the same with the demo.

"He's freaking great" Len Ji complimented him.

"He's different. One of the quiet people but going to eat you on his rap" Jen Le agreed.

"That's my boy" I whispered. As Jaeyon's bestfriend, I am proud.

"Jaeyon. You did well." The producer commented on him that makes him smile.

"Thank you so much. Thank you for guiding me with my first recording session" he answered and went back to our seats.

"Jae Hwan, get inside sweetie." Since Jae Hwan is the youngest in our group, I think the treatment will be different. That they're going to baby him.

"Your part is a normal rap. Not so fast nor slow. Plus, you'll be a vocalist too. Sub vocal in other terms. Let's proceed with the sub vocals parts." I know Jae Hwan is informed about what he will do because we practiced the demo together.

"Shall we start?" and he nodded. The demo starts again and he began singing the vocal parts.

While singing, we can see the difficulty in his voice and the way how he sings.

"Wait stop." The producer said and the difficulties occurs.
