You might be thinking... huh???
Seriously. This album was recorded at Ringo Starr's house, formerly John Lennon's house. Besides some funny tidbits, the techniques used to record are "old school" by todays standards, and they even touch on what a shame it is that we've lost some of the fun of "creating" music in the studio. Today, rather than "create" like they did back then, we do a quick search on the internet, find the sample and drop it in. Not as much fun as slamming doors, or picking just the right silverware to make a marching sound.
Where they placed the instruments in the house and why, and a story about bouncing Ringo's silverware on a tray to create a "marching" affect, it's all pretty interesting and a good testament that the most important tools in a studio, any studio big or small, are your ears. |
