Dimly lite, headphones on, making the cuts

Anyone ever find themselves imagining Prince in the recording studio going through the process of perfecting one of his musical gems? If find I do this a lot. I imagine him in the isolation booth with a pair of very high-end, black headphones on, a very high tech mic, eyes closed...just listening and feeling the music. The places he must go in his mind when he is recording.

I really hate threads like these. Right now he's just aiming to fill his wallet. Take it back to TRC and I'm with you; although maybe without the sensualness. I'd love to see angry Prince again.

Angry Prince is good, too. I would love to see him angry in front of the mic. Whatever!! It is the artist thing I am talking about. And what is WRONG with sensuality? I don't think it is ALL about the wallet. Ofcourse it is to some degree. But it can't be denied that he loves making music, loves putting the pieces together.

Yeah, because I heard he use to lay on the floor while recording slow jams to make them sound authentic.

Actually the layin' down on the floor thing, is a technique used 2 get a wider range when singin' high notes; by doin' this there's less stress on your diaphragm.

I like to think what the recording session was like. Especially 2 a.m. sounding cuts like Another Lonely Xmas, We Can Fubk and more. Some sound like th elights were lowered or even off.

sounds like a dream
but sadly a recording session is nothing like that
its a pain in the ass lol

i think the only artistic image i can think of is Prince by himself in the studio
with a crate full of twinkies next to him, fucking with a drum machine lol

It's a nice image but not terribly realistic, I don't think.

I would like to believe he gets in the zone-has a moment-or whtever you want to call it when he lays down these tracks. But, you all might be right. I am sure it is a lot more effort and not as much magic as I would like to think.
