Whatever You Do Has To Be Commercial

Every Time You Go In, It's Like Starting Over. You Don't Know How You Did The Other Records. You're Learning All Over. It's Some Weird Musician Amnesia, Or Maybe The Road Wipes It Out.

With Modern Recording Techniques, And Living In The Pro Tools Era, The Process Gets Really Drawn-out, And It Can Become Painstaking.

I Remember You Would Record A Guitar Part, And We Would Have To Sit There For 15 Or 20 Minutes Waiting For The Computer To Process It. You'd See The Little Wheel Spinning On The Computer, And You'd Be Praying That The Hard Drive Didn't Crash And You Didn't Lose The Performance.

There's A Different Physiology Happening Between The Sound Waves And The Body That Doesn't Happen With Music Playing Off The Computer. About Five Years Ago, I Got A Turntable That Hooks Up To Your Computer, And I Put The Vinyl In There And I Listened To It Back-to-back With A Cd, And It Didn't Even Compare. But People Don't Have Time To Go Track Down Vinyl, Lower It In, All That. And They Probably Don't Care. It's Hard To Make Music Knowing That It's Not Going To Be Received By The Listener In The Way That It Should Be.

I've Been Practicing For Years, Trying To Figure Out How To Record An Entire Band Live.
