154 – Behind the scenes of producing & recording
【[SUB] SAVEN – Extravaganza Producing&Recording Behind】
The approximately 20-minute video began with Dohee appearing in a fuzzy overfit hoodie.
[Dohee: The return of Dohee’s log!]
-Dohee, are you raw today too?
└It’s not even a schedule, but it can happen.
└But I like the lighter makeup than the makeup done at the store.
└ㄹㅇ Because his facial features are gorgeous to begin with;
[Dohee: No… First of all, today is the day we reveal the title song to the members for the first time. I’m a little nervous.]
At that time, a voice was heard from outside the screen.
[Seoyun: What is the tension? Let’s do it quickly~ We don’t have time right now~]
[Dohee: No, you still have to film the intro.]
Viewers couldn’t help but smile at the sight of the two bickering from the beginning.
The screen that followed the voice showed the members slumped over, and in contrast to the lively Dohee, they looked even more tired.
-The kids’ schedules these days have been ridiculous.
-I guess I had a busy schedule.
-Still, I am proud of the tea guide at music rooms and concerts.
[Hana: Okay, let’s do it quickly. If we get late, it’ll be difficult because we have to practice until late in the morning again today. Look at Harang.]
[Harang: I… I’m going to die.]
Dohee sighed as if she had no choice and handed out the documents to the members.
The document was somehow full of letters.
[Dohee: Shall I explain?]
[Chaerin: Yes, since it’s the song you chose, it’s probably better.]
The briefing began in earnest as Dohee nodded and sat down in the middle seat.
[Dohee: First of all, everyone received the materials, right?]
[Sera: Yes!]
[Harang: I don’t have time, so please keep it short…]
[Sera: I don’t mind it being long…!]
[Dohee: Let’s start with the album title. Wee hours.]
Dohee looked at the members’ faces and pointed to a section of the document.
[Dohee: It means early morning or midnight. What comes to mind when you think of dawn?]
[Sera: Becoming sentimental!]
[Dohee: Again?]
[Sera: Night sky!]
[Hana: I feel like it’s going to take a while… What should I do, Harang? I also wanted to finish it early today, but I guess I’ll have to do it until late in the morning.]
[Harang: No… Chaerin. Can’t you just explain? Huh?]
[Chae-rin: Do-hee will do it in moderation, too. I was excited, but leave it alone.]
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The atmosphere is really polar opposites.
-Meanwhile, Sarah’s attitude score is perfect lol.
Dohee ignored the members’ words and continued to say what she had to say alone with Sarah.
[Dohee: The night sky! I guess the moon rises at night, right? However, ancient people looked at the moon and thought that the phase of the moon that rose at dawn affected people’s mental state and behavior. So the word lunatic, which comes from the word luna, was created.]
[Sera: Yes!]
[Dohee: Of course, they said from the beginning that lunatic did not mean a crazy person or a psychotic person. First of all, if you look at the Bible written in the 5th century, you can see that it was written for people with epilepsy rather than madness…]
[Sera: I see…!]
And Sarah’s enthusiastic response was enough to explain the origin of the word.
[Dohee: So, the person who is mentally ill…]
[Harang: No, that’s important, right?]
[Ye-eun: (pointing to Do-hee) Insanity…]
-Yeeun is so funny hahahaha
-Dohee, why are you so excited today? You’re such a sleepover…
└I’m excited because it’s my first time producing lol
└I think it’s just because Sarah is good at it, lol.
Because of this, members have already complained of dizziness.
[Dohee: …So, you will know when you listen to the title later.]
[Harang: No, can’t I just listen to the song?]
[Seoyoon: Hey, Dohee Lee is really TMI.]
[Hana: Guys, what did you feed Dohee this morning?]
And it was impossible to force it in the face of pouring outcry.
[Dohee: Oh, okay, now I’ll just talk about the really important things. First, let’s look at the relationship between the title and the included song…]
But the story that followed was also about to be long.
[Dohee: I don’t know, but both songs have something in common: mix and match.]
[Sera: I didn’t know!]
[Dohee: You probably didn’t know.]
[Harang: No, I don’t know because I haven’t heard the title. Play the song first!]
[Dohee: Come on, focus. First, think of a fan song. It felt like a typical electro dance song, right? But the atmosphere conveyed by the song somehow made me cry. I thought this was a mix and match, but is this the Sensitivity of Dawn? Mania? I created a feeling of confusion to express that.]
-Oh, the story behind it…
– It definitely feels different after listening to the song’s description like this.
└Description: It’s cute, but it’s fun to listen to hahahaha.
[Dohee: On the other hand, the chords and melody of this title are dark, but the rhythm is bright, creating an exciting atmosphere. Of course, this is also a mix and match, and it’s just a crazy party at dawn? You will feel something like that. Look, if you look at the composition of the instrument right now…]
Chaerin, who was worse off, had no choice but to cut Dohee off.
[Chaerin: Okay, I think I’ve explained everything. Now let’s listen to the song first. Let’s do the rest of the details while directing during recording, Dohee.]
[Dohee: There is still a lot left to prepare…]
The atmosphere in the conference room was finally able to be settled.
[Hana: So you two decided to do the directing?]
[Chaerin: Would you like to help with the A&R team? I guess I also have to look at engineering.]
Meanwhile, in the corner of the screen in a neat atmosphere, there were Seoyoon and Sarah having a conversation in the same pose.
[Seoyun: Wow, he really talks a lot.]
[Sera: Yes, more today…]
[Seoyoon: Is it worse than usual?]
[Sera: Yes, cuter than usual…]
[Seoyun: … (Her eyes widen and looking at Sarah)]
The context was the complete opposite.
And finally, the screen could move to the recording studio.
The first person to open the recording studio was Dohee, who created the song.
[Dohee: Ah, can you hear me~?]
Dohee asked Chaerin, who was sitting next to the A&R team staff who appeared to be assistant engineers outside the booth, to check the microphone.
[Chaerin: Yes. Let’s go right away. Do you know what it feels like?]
Dohee nodded, relaxed her throat for a moment, and let out her voice comfortably.
And the harsh tone from a year ago had completely disappeared, and Dohee’s unique characteristics were coming back to life.
-But it looks like Dohee really practiced her vocals a lot… Now it’s just a vocal line…
└You sang well originally, what did you say about the tone?
└ㅇㅇ He practiced a lot to fix that. If you look at other behind-the-scenes footage, he’s singing whenever he has time. It’s so special.
└But why are Dohee’s vocal cords so strong? It seems like we’re singing and talking all day long;
Fans are excited to see Dohee improving every time, saying it’s amazing.
Dohee tilted her head as if she was not satisfied and pressed the button connected to the booth.
[Dohee: Um… Can I listen to the guide version just once?]
The A&R team engineer answered that he understood, and a guide version was released.
And the guide version of Dohee’s part was, of course, Dohee’s voice.
-Why is it cool that the guide is yourself?
└ㄹㅇ She’s 10 years older than me, but I want to call her sister… Dohee Nuna…
└Mister;;
└And honestly, Dohee’s American dramas these days… Seem to be bigger than Hana… Really…
└Hey
[Dohee: Oh, no… I’ll try it one more time.]
Dohee pressed the button one after another and requested a retry.
At that time, the booth opened and Kim Seo-yoon came in and pulled Do-hee out and said.
[Seoyun: PD, you can stop this now! I’m just repeating this to pretend I’m really cool, really.]
[Dohee: Oh, I’m not sure…?]
In fact, Seoyoon always claimed to be Dr. Dohee Hak, and in fact, her hit rate was over 90%, so her credibility was very high.
-If Seoyoon says it, I have to believe it hahahaha.
-Ha, I’m touched hahahaha.
-The playfulness is not going anywhere, really hahahaha.
-I knew it would be like this hahahaha.
In the end, Do-hee became sullen and was dragged out and sat down next to Chae-rin, and then Park Ye-eun’s recording began.
[Mm-hmm]
Ye-eun’s recording was refreshing, but her refreshing and refreshing voice seemed to be quickly put to an end by her charming voice.
Then, Ye-eun, who had been pacing in her place as if something was unclear, suddenly raised her hand.
[Ye-eun: Uh… Chae-rin! Can’t I try again…?]
And then there was Do-hee, who called herself Dr. Ye Eun-hak.
[Dohee: Uh, no. I’m trying to pretend that I’m cool too.]
Ye-eun denied Do-hee’s words and left her booth, but anyone who saw her could tell.
Ye-eun’s shocked face revealed everything.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ah, Ye-eun’s blushing face is really adorable.
-In the meantime, Dohee admitted that she was just pretending to be cool lol.
└ If Ye-eun is going to make fun of her, she has to admit it too hahahahaha
-The two youngest members are really the same hahahaha.
└Dohee is colored by Yeeun ㄹㅇ
Fortunately, the members’ recordings were able to be processed quickly because Chae-rin, who eliminated the laughter by saying that there was no time, continued directing.
-But Chaerin directs a lot harder than I thought.
-Chaerin has a high level of understanding of her members. When people hear the song, it seems like she understands what part of the voice or timbre they find attractive and asks for it well.
-Why is Dohee just nodding to the side?
This is because they gave specific instructions through direct demonstration, such as telling them to sing with a smile or correcting their pronunciation.
[Chaerin: Dohee, if you have anything to talk about, please tell us.]
[Dohee: I was afraid people would say that I was wasting time again… So, am I doing it too?]
[Chaerin: Yes, take it easy. Comfortable.]
However, Dohee’s energetic direction was rarely reflected.
[Dohee: No, that rubato.]
[Seoyoon: What is that?]
[Dohee: Um… Are you free to take advantage of that feeling? The tempo and beat are just as you want.]
This is because compared to Chaerin, there were a lot of abstract words that caught floating clouds.
[Dohee: No, that’s too much like an older sister. But is she a good sister?]
[Seoyoon: Let me hit it.]
[Dohee: Should we just go with this?]
[Chaerin: I’ll just re-record from 2A.]
In the end, most of the directing was done by Chaerin and the assistant director.
The video ended with Dohee’s face becoming sullen.
