Can anybody help me in the right direction to find material on Prince in the studio, his way of recording and the techniques he uses. I remember reading very interesting stuff from interviews with Eric Leads and Wendy and Lisa, but other than that (besides the view snippets of Prince behind the mixing table in the Omibus documentary if I remember correctly) I can't really find anything.

Always find it very odd that there doesn't seem to be more material (especially video) of Prince in the studio if you look at the uniqueness of one man recording whole albums by himself.

Help is much appreciated

If it's one man by himself, who's around to shoot the video?

look for the video for 'a million days' - there is a bit in there

There also is that snippet from the Batman recordings

"Prince In the Studio" by Jake Brown is pretty good. If a bit repetitive, and with a couple of odd inaccuracies. But full of info on kit and some insight into his recording techniques.

Thanks a lot! I will try to get Jake Brown's book, looks exactly what I look for : )
