We played all of the songs on the first Johnny Winter AND every day before we recorded them, so that when we got in the studio, it was totally easy, as we knew exactly what we wanted to do.
Rick Derringer

I'd always wanted to work in the studio and experiment with sounds. Things that I'm really influenced by and that I love are like The Beatles and Radiohead, and all those records by bands whose music is really involved.
Regina Spektor

Now, you can just get a laptop, get some software, put a microphone on it and make a record. You have to know how to do it. It does help if you've had 35 or 40 years of experience in the studio. But, it still levels the playing field so artists can record their own stuff.
Roger McGuinn

As opposed to touring for three years and then going into the studio and writing an album, I think this record is representative of a lot of everyday people.
Nuno Bettencourt

Good art theory must smell of the studio, although its language should differ from the household talk of painters and sculptors.
Rudolf Arnheim

The magic can happen in a studio. Special things can happen in a recording studio, even though it may seem like a clinical environment from the outside looking in.
Benny Green

Being in the studio is like painting, you know, you can really take your time, and try different things, and kind of go deep into it.
Rosanne Cash

I think it was probably down to the fact that we weren't together personally as a band. We weren't pulling in the same direction. I always feel if you're having a good time in the studio it actually comes across on the tape and that was a bit of a miserable album for us.
Roy Wood

And I like being able to go back and forth, and I don't really care if it's a small budget or big budget or studio or independent, as long as it's got a story that's compelling and there's enough money to make the picture.
Griffin Dunne

We were all ruled by the studio system. I signed a contract for seven years.
Leslie Caron

All studio movies are the middle of the Bell curve. The only way to do something is to do it yourself. And the only way to do that is to not take any money from anyone or take as little money as possible from anyone and that's it.
Thomas Lennon

My earliest professional musical experiences were really as a session player, and every day was an adventure. Three sessions a day, every day, and you never knew who you would be working with until you arrived at the studio.
Rick Wakeman

The studio that we mix in is still in Chicago.
James Young

We still have that same burn, to get that same kind of laughs. So whether the studio wants us to or not, we're going to do it. The money is just a byproduct of coming out with good stuff. Our whole thing is building that rapport with the audience.
Shawn Wayans

It varies from song to song, although Buck Owens and I recently collaborated on writing a duet together and am looking forward with a great deal of anticipation to recording that track for the new studio album.
Dwight Yoakam

I've turned my guest house into this little studio, and we have actors come over and do readings.
Jeff Goldblum

It's hard to know exactly what it sounds like to me. I'm in the studio and I write it. and that's it.
Nuno Bettencourt

My home studio is my private instrument for me only. It's not intended to record anyone but me.
Billy Sheehan

I have a rough idea when I walk into a studio though.
Tom Jenkinson

Many rock musicians are excellent cooks, I've found, and those that are prefer to eat their own cooking in the studio. I encourage this behavior as I also enjoy the benefits of fresh food.
Steve Albini
