Recording Quotes - page 10

My old man was a musician - that's what he did for a living. And like most fathers, occasionally he'd let me visit where he worked. So I started going to his recording studio, and I really dug it. (Dimebag Darrell)
That's what so great about making movies. It's that you get to do stuff you never would be able to do in real life. You get to go to a recording studio, you get to go to Navy ships and fly all over the world for press. And it's just a great job. View quote
DJ Qualls
I could play it safe by recording songs that are familiar, but am I expanding myself as an artist by doing covers? It's a catch-22. It's called show business: The word 'business' is in it, and you've got to be a businessman. But then again, you have to be true to yourself as an artist. View quote
Donny Osmond
Sometimes when you have multimedia, people use it too much. It has to be a tool and not the end product, if you can use it as a tool. The same thing apples when you are recording. We had this problem in the 80's, we got so computerized there was no heart and soul in the music anymore. View quote
Donny Osmond
To me, the hook of the riff is what makes a great guitar recording. It's the backbone of the whole song. When you have a strong riff, it's the rocket fuel for the track. View quote
Dwight Yoakam
The actual work of recording a record or making a film just requires that you consciously block the time out to do that and nothing else. That's what I do. View quote
Dwight Yoakam
No compression or as little as possible - that's how you get a good recording. View quote

In addition, I'm finishing a track for the movie 'Waking Up In Reno', but there are numerous other singers I look forward to recording with in the near future. View quote

After years of begging, I got my parents to get me a little Craig tape recorder, a reel to reel. Then I started recording voices, or recording Jonathan Winters off television and stuff like that. View quote
Dana Carvey
Dude, I love playing drums, and I love being on stage, and I love recording. It's my life... it's been my life, all my life, and I don't think it could ever become boring for me. View quote
Dave Lombardo
I've learned that I work best when I'm entirely naked. The recording process was done that way. (Emilie Autumn)
Recording - once something's done, it's done, there's not much you can do about it. It's out there and you just have to pray to the gods. View quote
Eric Burdon
Orchestras are not used to playing the kind of stuff jazz musicians like to play. It requires a lot of rehearsal and recording time, so it's much easier to do on a synth or sampler. So, we came up with that idea. View quote
Eberhard Weber
Recording sessions were stimulating to photograph, because everything was in motion: the subject, the musicians, the technicians and the photographer. You needed fast reflexes to keep up with moving targets, and sensitivity and skill to get the pictures while keeping out of the performers' eyeline so as not to break their concentration. View quote
Eve Arnold
The only album that I listen to upon recording a new one is my 'Cry' album, because sonically, I think it's my best album to date. But other than that, I've never listened to my records, ever. View quote
Faith Hill
When you're young you don't think, 'This person is going to change your life.' But when you start recording your own songs, it comes back and reminds you. View quote
Fefe Dobson
Recording an album and doing it live are like two different animals. There are some people that are great singers live, horrible in the studio. View quote
Frank Stallone
I love Thelonious Monk's song "Just a Gigolo." It's probably a minor song for him, but whenever I hear a recording of him playing it, I'm mesmerized, because Monk clearly loved pop music. He took it very seriously and made an amazing thing out of it. View quote
Glenn Ligon
I asked the producers when I was doing 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' if they could give me a VHS recording of the film that I could show to my family, because in Mexico and Latin America, when you do a film, you don't expect anybody to see it, especially not in the cinema. View quote
Gael Garcia Bernal
I hate recording all the shows for the week in one day, because I want to be able to mention current events and pop culture. If Madonna punches Britney in the face today, I want to reference that on 'Wine Library TV' tomorrow. Monday's episode is always the best, because it's hot off the press. View quote
Gary Vaynerchuk
No one likes to work for free. To copy an artist's work and download it free is stealing. It's hard work writing and recording music, and it's morally wrong to steal it. (Gary Wright)
I've always been fascinated with the juxtaposition of technology in music, not only in recording, but in the keyboard. It's amazing the way you can apply technology to an art form. View quote
Geoff Downes
I used to have a radio show. That's how I started foolin' around with recording. View quote
Howlin' Wolf
I don't have a formal home recording studio, but I can record tracks on my computer upstairs in my office. View quote
Huey Lewis
In my cranky old age, I actually prefer recording alone now, on 'The Simpsons,' for example, because I find that the director can just focus on what I'm doing and I can do a lot of variations. A lot of times, when I record with a group, I'll stay after class for another hour or two. View quote
