Didn't he used to work at Paisley for a while? I seem to recall him talking about working on some of Prince's stuff briefly.

And the reason I believe him (besides him being an all-around sweetie) is that he doesn't go on and on about it. He's barely mentioned it. Which brings me to my point about this thread: Anyone who's actually been there is probably not going to get on here and spill their guts.

Especially since Prince most likely made them sign a confidentiality agreement in their own blood.

So what happens on a Prince set is super secret.

As far as studio work, in recent and past interviews, Prince mentions that he always starts with the drum track. He also plugs guitar and bass straight into the board (no mic'ed amps). Protools is his digital recording method of choice, I saw this at the Celebration. He usually records alone with an engineer.
