I know that if I went to other studios, like in Vancouver, that those are set up to be as professional and as true, so it's just a different flavour, it's a different sound, but I think both have their place.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Those differences are what color the performance, but in the movies you don't get a chance to rehearse.
There are parallels between the music and film worlds, but they're really very different. I feel like they're just two different ways to channel my creativity.
Studios are designed to pull out all of that beautiful ambience you get from singing in a room, and then the engineer puts it back in digitally or through whatever machinery you've got.
Seattle isn't known for a particular production sound, so that leaves a lot of great producers in Seattle doing kind of their own thing. And I think, for me, I was probably enough removed from hip-hop that my style was even a little bit weirder than that.
The people on the business side in the music business are kind of different from the theatre business. I think it's partly because there are different pressures on the industries.
I always feel like there's something magic in recording studios. There's a reason good music continues to be made in them. It's just some mojo element.
The studio is meant to be always a place where, first of all, they can be out of spotlight, and second, where they could work with a peer group on parts that they might not have played otherwise.
For me, it's just more satisfying when you follow the rules rather than just make a bunch of sounds. The magic of just making noise in the studio goes away after a while.
All music industry places are the same, really. They have the same dynamics and the same concerns and the same needs.
The major studios don't differ very much from one another as they all operate under essentially the same principles and pressure.
