Recording Quotations | Page 2

We had been touring for about two years, so our minds were in tour mode, definitely. We thought we had done it and changed over to a studio mind, and we started to do the writing and recording and stuff, and we realized that you know what, no, we're not ready, actually. So we had to step back and really just get centered and get focused and ready to do it.

When you come to L.A. as a kid with your mom, you're lured into doing things that you think are cool and fun and a good idea, but they're cheesy and awful. And recording a pop single was one of them.

When we set out to create this fragrance, I wanted to revolutionize this industry. I wanted to create a scent, package it and promote it in a way that has never been seen before. I drew upon my experience as a fashion designer and a recording artist and launched Unforgivable like an album ... and we have hit number one! I am a boy from Harlem and to have this kind of success right out of the box is truly beyond my wildest dreams.

Like any self-governing group of people, the Recording Academy has made missteps over the years. Still, it has corrected course and done more to open its arms to the future than nearly any other industry group around.

So, for next year we are looking at building a tour around their recording schedule.

She's given multiple versions of what happened Sept. 2, 2003. She either has difficulty recording things in her mind and relating them back to law enforcement and friends or she's a pathological liar,

She's given multiple versions of what happened Sept. 2, 2003, ... She either has difficulty recording things in her mind and relating them back to law enforcement and friends or she's a pathological liar.

Shopping is a sensory experience. People are subconsciously recording things like the layout of the store, the lighting, whether the aisles are overflowing, whether the prices are clearly indicated and how easy or difficult it is to find a product every time you visit a store.

Most people who call and report stuff are older, ... Even when younger people turn themselves in, it's an older person who convinced them to do so. There's so much violence in youth culture, so much fear ? 'What if I get shot, if they find out?' Revenge is rare, but you see it more with the new breed of young thug-life characters. There's a whole genre of rap that promotes it. I'm not blaming the recording and entertainment industry, but it's that culture ? I'm hard, callous, I don't care .

Mitt Romney speaking to a $50,000-a-plate Republican fundraiser says he doesn't have to worry about the 47 per cent of Americans who don't pay tax. He was not counting on the smart phone recording his speech and then posting it on YouTube.

much more of a pain in the ass than recording the song. It was like making a mini Bond film.

Mozart's symphonies are quite special. One of our landmarks is our recording of all of his symphonies, which means that we've recorded not 41, but 68 symphonies. Many people are unaware that there are many unnumbered symphonies.

My intention when I came into this industry was to be a musician, not necessarily a recording artist, just a musician in general. And that's the reason I went to college and got my degree, which has been great for me. It's helped me a lot with my career.

My first time in the studio was in '85 but I didn't actually record in '85. I started recording the right way in the late part of '87-'88.

One of the things that has brought me a lot of success the last five years was performing. At my first recording session ever I met Kurt Bester and he said he had one piece of advice for me and that was perform.

My favorite hobby is writing and recording songs at my studio. I like to surf, but I don't get a chance to do that as much as I'd like. I don't live close to the beach. I also like to ski, but I don't get to do that much, either.

Right now a moment is fleeting by! Capture its reality in paint! To do that we must put all else out of our minds. We must become that moment, make ourselves a sensitive recording plate. give the image of what we actually see, forgetting everything that has been seen before our time.

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

One of the greatest live recordings, I think, in the history of the world is Ray Charles in Atlanta... And they didn't even have a big mobile recording thing set up. The word on the street was they only had like two microphones, one for the band and one for him. Perfect recordings. I think it's mono.

One of the most important things is to learn to read music. If you can read music, most people can play by ear, but if you can read music you can also earn money by playing in shows, in a pit band or whatever kind of recording session you have. They have a chart in front of you and you can read it. You won't be one dimensional.

I was following my muse and I was very fortunate in having good people around me and it turned out to be a pretty good recording in my opinion.

I was recording my audiobook, and it's so weird. You write things, but then to have to say them out loud in front of people feels so different. So when I was recording my audiobook, I was telling an embarrassing story in front of, like, a room full of audio-tech people that I don't know, and I was like 'Oh my God, this is so cringe.'

I would be involved with music whether I had a career or not. I'm always going to be writing songs and recording them.

I would do anything to have a recording of that two-and-a-half hour meeting.

I have had the good fortune to experience both the limelight and the traffic light as a musician. I did my first recording on my own and it was available at concerts. The second to seventh were released on small and then large labels. My eighth to 14th were done under my own steam once again, but with the benefit of the Internet.

I did recording sessions as a musician as well as a background vocalist and enjoyed every minute of it. I remember singing harmony with Waylon Jennings on a few songs that were hits. Chet Atkins always put me up so high that I strained to hit every note. It was a lot of fun.

I didn't want people sitting at the breakfast table breaking out into song. They are at the recording studio and nightclub. The band is in one way or another performing their material.

I did not make my first recording until I was 37... I did not even start to study music until I was 20... I entered music at a time when New York was this cauldron of incredible artistic and cultural activity.

I'd been familiar with the recording process since I was little, but I felt that this is what it's like to actually do it myself.

I am interested in recording an album because it would be an opportunity to express the feelings I have inside, not playing a character. I just think I have this thing inside me, this need to create and to express feelings whether that's in film, or in music which is an emotional expression as well.

I have all this technology-you know, I built this really cool recording studio in San Francisco-but when I write, it's with an acoustic guitar and a yellow notepad. I keep it very simple.

I feel that recording a song already compromises the magical music one can create in the mind, so the fewer people watering down this process the better.

I did my thing with Jive. I was a national recording artist, but I had run into a wall.

Funny story, ... We actually forgot we were recording these songs until the day before we were supposed to start. That afternoon, we decided on the songs, learned them, rewrote them, scrapped them, rewrote them again and then recorded them the next day. It was the most fun we've ever had in the studio!

I farm - there is something visceral about being attached to the land. I am a recording engineer. I do my own laundry most days, and I get on with the business of living.

For us, we let the circumstances dictate what will happen with us. We're more inclined to let whatever demand there is for something manifest itself before we push our own agenda on the world. We didn't come up with the idea of recording new songs. It was (Jake) who suggested it and we went along with it, so I guess it would depend on what kind of influence we got from outside whether we would actually go and do more songs or not.

I got a phone call from Alan's manager, saying he was going to do a recording of gospel songs for his mom. He was just going to make a CD copy for her. I said I'd love to hear it.

If something goes wrong, we stop it and say, 'Let's go back to the position where the wrong decision was made.' Since you are recording the training, you also can go back and immediately critique it with person being trained.

He was a rare talent and a beautiful man, and his voice was unlike any other. I have great memories of working in the studio recording with Gene. He was a great guy.

I always knew that we were going to be successful and accomplish and succeed at our dreams. There was never a doubt in my mind. When we were recording 'Appetite For Destruction', we all knew.

I always kind of think if The Beatles were still around now, people would've lost interest quite a long time ago. Seven years of recording - it's there forever. I think not outstaying your welcome is a vital ingredient.

The people I idolized I saw once a year on the Tony Awards. I would buy the cassette tapes of the various Broadway shows and scour the photos inside the recording package. That's how I exposed myself to the arts - New York and professional theater felt like a very distant thing.

With more than 25 years of experience on the creative and business side of the music and television industry, David brings passion and proven strategic leadership to this new position. David's lifelong pursuit of music in a variety of shapes and forms has given him a balanced perspective, which will be a vital asset to The Recording Academy. I am pleased to be working with him and our senior staff as we continue to move our organization forward in a relevant and effective manner.

What? You now have become the first recording artist I've ever sat across from who said, 'I wanted that album to sell fewer copies.' Why?

Hollywood and the recording industry argue that current law permits the copying of songs and movies, and sharing them on the Internet. This enables young people to grow up learning how to steal.

He was listening. I could see in his eyes he was recording everything. Mentally, he was so far ahead of the other guys his age. He's smart and calculated and mistakes are heavily punished here. Even the way he handles disappointment is right. He reminds me of Jay.

There are statements to federal investigators, sworn testimony, a secret recording of Greg Anderson and on-the-record interviews, and the gist of our story is all supported by material that we can point to the sources on. It's all going in one direction. There's not any equivocation on this that's compelling or believable. We also have relied on unnamed sources who have given us a story that's very consistent with what the public record says about Bonds and steroid use.

Keeping it simple was my idea, ... I wanted the recording to sound like way back, before they used even drums.

I think it's going to be a great opportunity. And who knows? We might even get the next Christian recording artist from here.

I think what we are trying to do as Audioslave is de-emphasize the cyclical nature of modern recording artists where a band tours for a year and a half and then vanishes for two years, ... What we'd like to do is make records and tour. Write music, tour, record, tour. Keep it all going all at once like bands did in the '70s. Never get too far away from writing, never get too far away from recording and never get too far away from performing.

I think a lot of musicians play for the playback. I mean, that's the joy of recording - you want to hear what you've done and what you've contributed - but never listening to that playback kind of removes the intellectual part of making music, and it removes the tendency to be revisionist.

It gave us a chance to first try a recording of the songs in the afternoon without an audience, then another one in front of a studio audience.

It gives us the ability to have a dedicated line that we can assure people that there's no recording and no caller identification. People may feel a little more comfortable with that.

It is important to know that what I do is not artistic. I am just a film-maker. I live how I live and I do what I do, which is recording moments of my life as I move ahead. And I do it because I am compelled to. Necessity, not artistry, is the true line you can follow in my life and work.

I was working at a non-profit for five years. But I could always create music after work. All throughout those years, I was writing songs and recording music and performing around town.

I went from the really crude way we had of recording in Memphis to working with the top engineers and technologies in Los Angeles.

I think the threat of potential copyright suits by Hollywood and the recording industry makes it difficult for new businesses to compete. Small businesses simply won't bother to enter the fray or will fold at the first threat of a suit even when what they are doing is legal.

Jason is a hard-nosed, tough player that compliments our lineup extremely well. He has always been a tough out while recording a high on-base percentage and has the ability to play all three outfield positions well.

Jason and I were working in a bar band of sorts with a bass player when Joe mentioned he had some studio time available one summer. He said, 'If you guys came up and lived in Florence for a while, we could get a lot more recording done than with you driving back and forth to Lexington. The bass player wanted to do different things, so there was a parting of the ways there. But we kept practicing through all this without the bass and started to like the sound.

I remember the session went well. Olan was very precise. He was like a professor. You wouldn't guess it because he's so humble, but he sure knew his way around a recording studio.

Roger and I (will) meet in mid-December to play what we have written, ... If we move ahead from there, we may have a CD ready to release in the spring. If the recording works out, we will tour with the usual band in the first half of 2005.

Recording tends to restrict too much experimentation, 'cause when you're making a record it's a part of you, for that time it's your whole fabric.

Recording is just a lengthy process, so to have to record before every professional video, that's where a real time drain comes in.

Recording in Jamaica is like nothing else. The studios are always closed in America. But in Jamaica, the studio doors are wide open, and there's music blasting out in the street. You can see the reaction of people immediately.

My parents have always been seriously helpful and behind it all the way. Although you think classical music is a different world, it's really not. The tours and recording sessions are basically the same.

My whole recording studio, tons of music, a lot of original scores that I can't ever get back, maybe 50 or 60 tunes I spent years working on all gone,

I was in about in the 8th grade when I started recording R&B, so much of what was on was the Motown sound, and The Beatles had pretty much come over and taken America by storm.

I still love recording and still love the stage, but like my dad, I have the most fun when I am in front of that glorious orchestra or that kick-butt big band.

Johnny said that recording was his main reason for being alive. And I think it was the only thing that kept him going, the only thing he had to look forward to.

I'm so happy now that I have my own recording company because I don't have to have any arguments with people about what I'm going to release next.

I'm not a businessman, so I don't know how to solve the problems of the recording industry.

Mostly though this desire just springs from an idea for a guitar lead, or vocal melody etc. that I come up with well after the recording is finished.

We just ask that you are not recording and filming practices.

When it comes to losing weight, one of the most effective methods is self-monitoring. Systematically observing and recording target behaviors, such as reduced calorie and fat intake and increased daily exercise, helps you stay on course.

We're definitely not a bar band anymore. People expect to see a rock show in the bars but we're transitioning into a recording band, trying to take it to a national level.

We filmed every recording session and did interviews on what each song represented to the artist, so we've amassed a world of footage.

We have some mixing to do at the recording studio tonight. We'll go over there at about 1 A.M., and stay until about 8. Then we'll crash.

We wanted to make something that represented what we were actually doing, ... The first album was OK, but that was almost three and a half years ago, and we more or less did that on our own. But with Arhoolie, we were able to go into a bigger studio -- it was a lot more professional -- and we did the whole recording in one day, because we already knew what we were going to do. And we had a good engineer that had a nice system, and he let us feel free to do what we do, and I think that's the best way to record a group of guys like us.

We've had cameras. But their biggest weakness is being proactive. 'Hey, this guy's been here before, stop him.' And that's because we've had to be 100 percent reliant on the operators. You can't expect a guard to remember a face months after the fact. But put a little intelligence into the recording box, and it can remember for months at a time.

We have broken up ... a major counterfeiting ring that has been inflicting substantial losses in the recording industry,

virtually a living recording of the musical sounds heard hundreds of years ago.

You know, it's very deep in everyone's secret longings to be a recording star. I know I used to hold a hairbrush and lip-sync with songs on the radio. So making this album was great fun and allowed me the opportunity to work with a family friend.

Unlike other voice-over situations which are done in a recording studio, Roger Rabbit was live action and animation combined, and there was a time factor, so my voice was recorded live on the set. So I'm on the set rehearsing and recording my voice as a performance with the other actors, and they're all wearing costumes, and it made sense to me.

When I was a kid, I wanted to emulate Mel Blanc, who is arguably one of the most legendary voiceover recording artists of our time. I used to watch all the cartoons where he would voice Daffy, Elmer Fudd and Porky the Pig. I knew one day I wanted to do that.

We actually halted the recording process to go to the funeral, and we took a couple days off of the recording process to hold a benefit show for the family. Dime was a huge inspiration to Danny (guitarist Dan Donegan) and all of us, really. He was our friend. We dedicated the record to his memory.

You don't need 30 million people to listen to your podcast. If 10,000 people listen to your podcast, which is not a hard number to achieve, then 10,000 people are listening, and you can build a community, and literally change the world just recording into a microphone.

We were all young and our like leader was Capathia Jenkins who had been around and is amazing. We did a lot of improv and the show was completely re-imagined. We kept very little of the original book. It was a lot of fun and we had a great time. Being able to be so creative and get that vibe where its not usually the case It was really kind of a dream come true to be able to have such success with it and the recording my first cast album. Stephen Schwartz was wonderful.

We were able to negotiate a great deal for our company and shareholders and we feel that this will be a great year and an exciting one at that. Central Park North Recording is an Entertainment company with its current Hip-Hop Group Martian Colony who is making noise on the A/C Radio Charts as their most recent position was #65 on the Hot 100 chart and with other Entertainment and music acquisitions in negotiation. Central Park North Records will be able to spend the much needed time with the growth process that is involved in Entertainment business. We are working with Central Park North on some cross promotions projects and will announce additional details in the coming weeks.

We learned our first lesson on Monday night, ... Everyone sat down to watch the day's first dailies, and the first 10 minutes of the tape was black. No one checked to see if it was recording correctly.

We've been recording these great shows for 31 years, they air on PBS a few times and then they go on the shelf. And that's been the end of it. We've had calls from people begging for old programs, which we can't give to anyone off the street. With the arrival of DVD, that's the format. The quality is there, especially the audio quality. And the price point has come down to where it makes more economic sense to start rolling these out and we're doing it with a vengeance right now.

We contacted Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder within 48 hours after Ms. Tripp provided us information ... About Ms. Tripp's tapes and the questions concerning their legality under state law. About the consensual FBI recording of Ms. Tripp and Ms. Lewinsky. About the indications that Vernon Jordan was providing employment assistance to a witness who had the potential to harm the president ... We discussed jurisdiction. We noted that it is in everyone's interest to avoid time-consuming jurisdictional challenges.

We have been completely blessed. Usually, there are different stages in a band. But every time we get to a different level, like recording our album or playing with national bands, something just comes along and makes it all work out. It's totally unexpected.

We have become weak as a union, giving in to a series of rollbacks and buy-outs at a time when the entertainment industry is recording record profits; profits that will continue to grow with new technology, ... If we truly expect to earn our livings as actors, we need to stand up and fight for a fair and livable wage.

The reason we purchased the Vision console was to get that classic API sound in a 5.1 console, ... For NYU, the API Vision console will be a remarkable teaching tool. With the department's focus on contemporary music, this console will enable our students to learn recording on the best-sounding surround console in the world. We look forward to the variety of projects that our new studio and new console will attract within the university.

We also noticed that customers were looking for larger and larger drives, which is why we saw an opportunity to develop perpendicular recording on those models.

This settlement brings to a close an incredibly significant chapter in the story of digital music. This is a chapter that ends on a high note for the recording industry, the tech community and music fans and consumers everywhere.

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.

Well, when you're recording an album, artists have what they feel like is good music, and the label, they're trying to sell the album. So those two ideas clash sometimes, but in the end it always works out. When you put the two together, that's a good thing.

Two thousand five was a great year. Our investment in Hub's sales culture and the commitment of our people enabled us to post organic growth in the face of declining insurance rates. Our acquisition team continued to excel in identifying and closing attractive opportunities. In addition, we achieved our goal of increasing operating margins, recording a one-percentage-point improvement for the quarter and the year.

Fame came quickly. I was only 19 when I secured my initial recording contract and my first two hit records - 'Are 'Friends' Electric?' and 'Cars' - were number ones.
