Recording Quotes

What producers did was mostly recording in the studio, so it never changed our sound just that much.

-
I really just like making music. People call that 'work.' Like, 'Oh, you're going to the studio to work?' No, that's even what I do in my off day. I love recording.
Juice Wrld

I got an amazing 10-CD set, it's the music that Alan Lomax recorded in Haiti in 1936. And what's incredible is how fantastic the drummers are and how off-the-grid they are. The liveliness is astonishing; they're just totally alive, these recordings. It's very interesting, to me, to be reminded of that, that there was a time when things were not that tight.
Brian Eno
Roxy Music
-
This is an album of songs that I've always loved, tunes that I heard. For the first time in 53 years of recording, I really had control over an entire album, start to finish.
Etta James

Work-wise I'm either doing one or the other. Either I'm sitting there making beats and I'm going to do that the whole day, then when it comes time for recording I'll go back to my beats that I have. If I don't like any of the beats that I made, I'll go to my friends who made beats and I'll try their beats.

I never felt the need to actually change from being a Moody Blue and doing any solo recording. It is only because The Moody Blues haven’t recorded for over ten years now that I suppose the frustration set in and I really would have liked to have made a new album, and I suddenly realised that in the natural order of things, the album was going to be my own album.
John Lodge
The Moody Blues

Recording can be enjoyable, but the hard thing is that you don't get any direct or immediate feedback like you do when you play live. Getting to see people's excitement and see them engage in the show makes me excited to get back out and play.
