http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6BC1ID20101213?pageNumber=1 Voice on Jackson album far from finished article 新專輯的歌聲離完整作品還差很遠 (Reuters) - Recordings of Michael Jackson's voice on a new album being released this week were far from the finished article and required considerable digital enhancement, according to one of its main producers. 根據新專輯其中一個主要的製作人的說法 MJ在裡面的聲音離完成的作品還差很遠所以必須用到一些數位增強器修補 But Teddy Riley, who worked with the King of Pop on several records before his death, believed that "Michael" would go down as a classic, albeit short of the heights of Jackson's heyday in the late 70s and early 80s. 但是TR還是相信這張專輯會成為經典就像MJ70 80年代的作品一樣 "I had to do more processing to the voice, which is why people were asking about the authenticity of his voice," Riley told Reuters of the first album of new Jackson material since the singer's sudden death 18 months ago. TR說我必須要對聲音作一些處理工作而這就是為什麼人們會質疑聲音的真假 The project has been mired in controversy since members of Jackson's family were quoted questioning the authenticity of the voice on some tracks and his father's lawyer said the perfectionist would never have wanted the music released. 這個計畫深陷於爭議之中因為傑克森家族成員質疑某些歌曲的歌聲真假而J爸的律師表示 MJ不會想要這些音樂發行 "We had to do what we had to do to make ... his voice work with the actual music," Riley added in an interview. TR說我們必須做一些處理讓他的聲音和真實的音樂協調 "He (Jackson) would never consider it being a final vocal. But because he's not with us he cannot give us new vocals. What we did was utilize the Melodyne (technology) to get him in key. MJ絕對不會認為這些歌聲是最終放上專輯的歌聲但是因為他已經不再了無法給我們新的錄音我們能做的只有用科技調整 "With the Melodyne we actually move the stuff up which is the reason why some of the vibrato sounds a little off or processed, over-processed. We truly apologize for that happening, but you are still hearing the true Michael Jackson." 利用了這些科技我們實際上調高了他的聲音這就是為什麼某些顫音聽起來偏調或過度處理了我們對這些非常抱歉但你聽到的仍舊是MJ的聲音 Riley worked on three of the 10 songs on the album -- "Hollywood Tonight," "Monster" and "Breaking News." TR為新專輯中10首歌曲裡的3首製作 Hollywood Tonight, Monster,和breaking news The last two were recorded at the New Jersey home of the Cascio family in 2007, along with a third Cascio track "Keep Your Head Up." 最後兩首是07年在卡西歐家錄製還有另一首卡西歐家族的歌曲有收錄keep your head up It was these recordings that led some to cast doubt over the authenticity of the songs, although Riley, and record label Sony, have been at pains to show they were genuine. 是這幾首卡西歐家族的錄音導致聲音真假的質疑 PRICE OF FAME 成名的代價 Riley said much of the negative publicity surrounding the album came from people within Jackson's entourage who did not approve of the project. TR說很多陷在負面的消息是來自於傑克森家族的他們不允許這個計畫 "That don't just happen like that, that has to come from somewhere and where it came from was not a great place. It was from a family member, and some family members ... didn't totally get the last say so they kind of hate the project. TR說:這些事情不是突然就發生的而是起源某處而起源不是個好地方是來自於傑克森家族內部有些家族成員沒能得到最終決定權所以他們轉而恨這個計畫 "So there you have it, a chain reaction, a domino effect that makes the credibility of Michael go down," he said. 所以你知道了這是個連鎖效應這也是為什麼MJ這個名人殞落的原因 "I am here to protect that, because I know it's him, I know it's great material, I know that it needs to be out, I know that the legacy needs to continue because he's such a great person, and there's more to come." 我是來維護這些的因為我知道這是他我知道這些是好的素材我知道這些東西需要被發行我知道他的遺產需要繼續閃光因為他是個最棒的人而且還有更多他的東西未發行 "Michael" is the first album of new Jackson material since "Invincible" in 2001, and the first in a reported $250 million deal between Sony and the executors of Jackson's estate to release 10 albums through 2017. 新專輯是MJ在01年萬夫莫敵後的新題材 Author J. Randy Taraborrelli, who wrote a 1991 best-selling biography of Jackson, said on Monday that Jackson's estate had another 60 songs but did not plan on releasing all of them JRT在週一的訪問提到遺產公司還有約60首歌但他們不會全部發行 JRT是魔力與瘋狂作者 "They've got 60 incomplete songs but they've only got about 20 left with vocals that they feel, that the estate feels, are worthwhile," Taraborrelli said in a U.S. interview on the CBS TV network's "The Early Show". JRT說遺產公司有60首還未完成的歌曲但他們認為只有約20首的歌聲他們認為是值得去後製的 "They're not releasing everything. They're releasing the things that they believe Michael would want released, and that's about 17 to 20 more songs," Taraborrelli said. JRT說他們不會發行所有東西他們會發行他們認為MJ會想要發行的歌大約還有17-20首 (不知JRT的說法可靠否?!) Asked if he would agree to produce future posthumous Jackson material, Riley replied: 問到TR是否還願意製作MJ死後的音樂素材 "If it was my decision, yes, I would be involved in anything that Michael was involved with. If they will have me I will definitely be a part of it. I'm here, I came out here to be a servant to my friend." TR說如果決定權在我答案是願意我願意參與所有MJ相關的東西如果他們願意請我我絕對願意參與我就在這裡我是我朋友的僕人 Among the topics Jackson tackles on the new album is people's thirst for fame and the high price of becoming a star. MJ專輯中其中一個主題是講到了人對於成名的可望還有成為明星所要付出的巨大代價 In "Hollywood Tonight" he describes the real-life experiences of an unnamed friend who heads to Los Angeles aged 15 to make it in the movies, and in "Monster" he sings about the paparazzi. 在HollyWood Tonight 他描述了真實生活的體驗一個15歲的人前往洛杉磯想要完成電影夢而在Monster中他唱到了狗仔隊 "The Monsters are the ones who, when you're up they come to get you and they beat you down and when they get you down they go to the next artist," Riley said of "Monster." Monster在你在高點時他們出來攻擊你打擊你當你走下坡了他們就去攻擊別的明星 "That's their job, to hit you while you're up and step on you while you're down, and that's what he always said." TR說 MJ總是說狗仔隊的工作就是在你是高點時不停的打你而在你是低點是不停的踩你 Reviews of "Michael," which hits British stores on Monday and U.S. stores on Tuesday, have been generally positive. 目前新專輯的大部分評論都是正面的 (Editing by Steve Addison and Bob Tourtellotte) -- In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. In a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe. ~~~~By Michael Jackson -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.254.121.111 ※ 編輯: ChesterB 來自: 111.254.121.111 (12/14 08:02)
