I've Personally Reached The Point

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.

I've Personally Reached The Point Where The Sound Of Mp3s Are So Uncompelling, Because So Much Is Lost In Translation.

There's A Different Physiology Happening Between The Sound Waves And The Body That Doesn't Happen With Music Playing Off The Computer. About Five Years Ago, I Got A Turntable That Hooks Up To Your Computer, And I Put The Vinyl In There And I Listened To It Back-to-back With A Cd, And It Didn't Even Compare. But People Don't Have Time To Go Track Down Vinyl, Lower It In, All That. And They Probably Don't Care. It's Hard To Make Music Knowing That It's Not Going To Be Received By The Listener In The Way That It Should Be.

There's A Perception That If An Artist Produces Another Artist, They're Going To Imprint On Them. But I'm The Opposite.

No One Should Drive A Hard Bargain With An Artist.
