Am I the only one

Recording? Hah! How very second millenium.

 

theres nothing pretentious about recording.

it does not have to be perfect. it shouldent have blatant screw ups, though..

theyre two different kinds of work that i enjoy equally. recording can be great because its not neccesarily gig-hours, as in late night. its nice to make money during the day sometimes..

 

I think I would enjoy both.

 

I like doing both. They are both performances.

 

I look at them as two separate beasts. In the studio you have the opportunity to do different things that can't be replicated live. For example, I'll lay down a bass track and then maybe throw some piano chords over it, or a basic guitar line. Also, the use of effects can be quite nice and used in a different way than the studio, especially with a good engineer.

As far as the adrenaline rush, live is the best for getting me there, but I also love being able to hand someone a cd and say "we wrote this, we completely made it all up, put it onto a cd and now you can hear what we have to say with our instruments"

 

: D

 

I like both equally....

 

In my own band, I would rather play a live gig.

As a session player I love studio work.

When it comes to making money, then Studio work is where it is at. When it comes to a rush, nothing beats playing in front of a crowd.

 

I prefer live playing but when we do get in the studio we usually perform the tunes live, to capture the energy and groove, then sweeten and tweak as needed.

 

I absolutely prefer playing live to recording, but I wouldnt say there is anything pretentious about the recording process. Its a necessity for any original band to have music to distribute.
As far as recording goes I much prefer doing it live style over tracking each instrument individually (like we just finished doing), but I'll be damned if our upcoming CD doesnt sound perfect!

 

I like doing both.
