More quotes by Beck
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.
Beck
There's an infinite amount of possibilities and detours and things that can distract you from actually just performing the song and having whatever emotion that's invested into the song come through in the recording.
Beck
I just go in the studio and write on the spot and see what comes out.
Beck
If someone is making a judgment when they don't have firsthand experience, it's intolerant. How can you make a judgment on something you don't know about?
Beck
I'm always working on my own music, too. I've been working on a record for a few years.
Beck
When you work with somebody for a long period of time, you develop a shorthand with everything.
Beck
I didn't even have a computer until like 10 years ago. I was still using a typewriter until 2002.
Beck
I do think music sounds better when it's on tape and more simply recorded.
Beck
You can't write if you can't relate.
Beck
Let the desert wind cool your aching head. Let the weight of the world - drift away instead
Beck
I did that Grammys thing - I did a little freeform poem.
Beck
Set your guitars and banjos on fire and before you write a song smoke a pack of whiskey and it'll all take care of itself.
Beck
I've been practicing for years, trying to figure out how to record an entire band live.
Beck
Art is the child of Nature yes, her darling child, in whom we trace the features of the mother's face, her aspect and her attitude.
Beck
I have for four years now been ringing the bell. Economic Holocaust is coming. Economic day of reckoning is coming.
Beck
I didn't want to do something typical.
Beck
There's some quality you get when you're not totally comfortable.
Beck
I love British humor. It's just so - surreal.
Beck
Back then, Pro Tools only had four or eight tracks, so we couldn't actually hear all the tracks. We could only hear eight at a time, so if a song had 25 or 30 tracks, we wouldn't be able to hear it until we went into the studio an put it all on tape. The process was a little bit backwards.
Beck
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.
Beck
