Utdrag ur videointervju med Ken Scott:
Q: These days with the availability of unlimited tracks as in ProTools; Do you think that that’s a good thing?
Ken Scott: It is a total detriment to all concerned. Number one, it is a vast waste of time. Number two, everything is just put on and put off. I think everyone should start off recording on two tracks and learn what works then and there. Then you can expand from that. Much like the Beatles did. Their first album was two track. It just so happened that they were in a time when technology was expanding and through their career they moved from two track to four track; Learnt how far you could go with four track. Then we were trying linking up four track machines so that you got a bit more. Then it was eight track and so on. They got used to making decisions and knowing what worked and what didn’t once they heard it.
Q: And does that actually speed up the recording session and does it improve the final outcome do you think, when people have a limitation?
Ken Scott: I think it improves the final outcome, in all honesty. There are so many remixes these days which wouldn’t be possible, but that’s the one limitation. There is going to be lots of remixes of dance stuff, fine, do it however you want to, but when it comes down to the more basic rock and roll things… Why??... It is relatively easy to know what works and what doesn’t!
