Recording Quotes
-
When I am not recording, I do live shows or am at home catching up on shows which I regularly watch. But there will always be some music around me.
Shreya Ghoshal

The first thing that got to me was seeing David Bowie on a children's TV show, but Bowie was way beyond my aspirations. The Buzzcocks' Spiral Scratch came out in 1977 and it had a breakdown of the recording costs, then you saw Pete Shelley playing a broken guitar from Woolworths. We already had an idea of the kind of music we wanted to do, but punk showed us a way to do it.
Edwyn Collins

It's always a blast playing the new stuff. But I feel like songs, in a way, are never finished. You get to a point where you're comfortable enough to put a stamp on it and send it out there, but even after recording it, when you're playing it live, you hear different harmonies, you hear different notes, you hear different tempos or peaks and valleys in the song.

I love songwriting ! It's my Number One passion other than performing. Well, actually it's like wearing three different hats: songwriting, recording and performing. They're all completely different and draw on different types of skills. With recording, there are so many different phases of production, and you have to be very careful because you can polish it until it doesn't shine.
Delbert McClinton

This recording was very special in the sense that I was free to create and play my best. Chick is a very intelligent person and sensitive to people and situations. ... The way he communicates is not going to close your mind, it's going to open your mind.
Airto Moreira

Tweets? That stuff kills conversation. And people taking pictures with their phone or recording you, sometimes surreptitiously, is creepy. They come up and just start talking to you, and you can see the red light on their phone.
Robin Williams

We used to do 'Venus' live for a long time but never got 'round to recording it because people would always say it's too old-fashioned a song.
Keren Woodward
Bananarama

Perpendicular recording is what will allow us to offer fairly dense drives. We see that becoming more prevalent into 2006.
Bob Moore

There's a very old recording maxim that goes, 'Distance makes depth.' I've used that a hell of a lot-whether it's tracking guitars or the whole band. People are used to close-miking amps, but I'd have a mic out around the back, as well, and then balance the two. Also, you shouldn't have to use EQ in the studio if the instruments sound right. You should be able to get the right tones simply with the science of microphone placement.
Jimmy Page
Led Zeppelin

Brian Auger is a superb technician on his instrument, but he also plays with feeling that is a rarity. I am looking forward in recording with him in the near future.
Eddie Harris
