Born: December 7, 1949

If you are recording, you are recording. I don't believe there is such a thing as a demo or a temporary vocal. The drama around even sitting in the car and singing into a tape recorder that's as big as your hand - waiting until it's very quiet, doing your thing, and then playing it back and hoping you like it - is the same basic anatomy as when you're in the recording studio, really. Sometimes it's better that way because some of the pressure is off and you can pretend it's throwaway.

Tom Waits

It's the actual recording of the vocal that is the most boring thing you'll ever do in your life.

Lewis Capaldi

Harmonies come really naturally to me. I don't have to labor too hard over them. I'll sing a lead vocal, and then I will immediately have all of these other ideas for vocal harmonies. I think that some of the most fun parts of recording, for me, are the vocal harmonies.

Juliana Hatfield

Cordae

The thing is that I have a really intense, almost compulsive need to record. But it doesn't end there, because what I record is somehow transformed into a creative thing. There is a continuity. Recording is the beginning of a conceptual production. I am somehow collapsing the two - recording and producing - into a single event.

My recording career has luckily run the gamut of recording environments.

I had a recording contract with Capitol Records. I loved recording and being in that studio. I made four albums.

George Chakiris

Recording at home enables one to eliminate the demo stage, and the presentation stage in the studio, too.

Warren Zevon

The whole thing with recording is you have to know when to turn off the tape machine and just stop recording because you want to keep fixing, fixing, fixing, you know?

Linda Ronstadt
