A collection of famous quotes to read when you’re struggling or stuck with recording

Mikael Sandorf / ex-GATES OF ISHTAR, HELLTRAIN

There are plenty of bands trying to make good music, and some of them are really good, but there are also loads of bands that aren’t worth recording in a studio.

Taiga Sakamoto / Studio Lagre Recording Engineer

With the idea that it would be great if I could come to like that band’s work and shape it more to my own taste.
Personally, I see myself as the type of engineer who communicates well with any band.

Peter Wichers / ex. SOILWORK

Since this was my first time doing all the recording by myself, I of course made mistakes.
But since we can learn from mistakes, there’s a lot we’ve learned for next time.

Chris Martin / Coldplay

For me, success is, first and foremost, writing good songs.
That in itself is already a success.
More precisely, it’s about finishing a song, recording it, having people come to like it, performing it in front of an audience, and feeling happiness.
This happiness is my idea of success.

Nick Mason / Pink Floyd

It's a waste of time, so I won't record any new releases anymore.

Kenji Nakai / Recording Engineer

I don’t think it’s a matter of saying, “If you use analog, it’s like this; if you use digital, it’s like that.”
If the effects of analog are considered good, the important thing is to know those analog effects by ear.
And I think it’s important to recreate that using today’s digital technology.
