littles bits little-bit
It gets a little bit troublesome when you have something that's overcompressed that shouldn't be.
bit
There's more things that I'd like to do. You know, each song is a little bit of a puzzle. I see most of them as just failed attempts.
against attempts beauty bits five four mix solo
Sometimes when I do an overdub solo, they'll keep four or five of my attempts and then mix the bits that they like to make a solo up out of them. It's not against the rules, really - I can learn my own solos, then. But that's the whole beauty of multi-track recording, isn't it?
arrested bit
No one is being arrested for being a little bit tipsy.
although bit class fooled ourselves talk talks targeting terms thinking
I think it's not fashionable to talk in class terms any more, although Gore's done a bit of that when he talks about targeting the wealthy, ... It will be interesting to see how that plays, because we've fooled ourselves into thinking ours is a classless society. And, of course, it isn't.
bit frustrated saves second stepped supposed
He's really stepped up when he's had to. I think he frustrated them a little bit in the first half, and he only made the one or two saves in second half ... that's what he's supposed to do back there.
growing-up faces bittersweet
If you begin to face your fears, something bittersweet is going to happen to you: You'll grow up.
people want franklin
There are plenty of Minutemen. People willing to be Minutemen. Where are the people that want to be George Washington? Where are the Benjamin Franklins? Where is Sam Adams? Where is John Adams?
mother children years
I've said for years to wives and mothers, you must start to see yourself as Sarah Connor. You must equip your children with the information they need to survive an ever-changing world.
helping-others people use
There are a lot of technical studio things I've learned or figured out, and I feel like I could use those things to help other people with what they're doing.
thinking years people
For the records I've work on over the last 10 years, I get sent the really compressed version and the non-compressed version, and oftentimes you end up going with the more compressed one because it's what people's ears are attuned to. I think the bigger problem is saturation and people being desensitized.
believe years people
I've been arguing with people for 10 years about tape versus digital, and I believe tape is absolutely essential in getting the sound that's conducive to the enjoyment of music.
thinking sound tape
I do think music sounds better when it's on tape and more simply recorded.
fun tired years
You spend so many months and years in the studio, and you see the clock ticking and so much time spent on the minutiae of technical things. And I just thought it'd be fun to do something extremely fast and get that rush of something that had some energy, something that you weren't tired of when you finished it.
