Becker and Fagen on Recording EMG in Analog


Below is an interesting link which will direct you to an recent interview of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. Among other things, they speak of how and why their latest LP, "Everything Must Go", was laid down in analog. They went FORWARD, not back, to analog, sez Becker. Analog is the future, sez Fagen.

My hope is that this will result in other artists following their always trend setteing recording ways. I would have asked them, though, why was not the vinyl released in the UNITED STATES? Then I would not have had to pay 18 quid plus shipping from the UK! :-0

The tracking was done to multitrack analog tape, but the editing and
mixing was done digitally on ProTools. Also, Becker and Fagen have
been known not to be completely "honest" in their interviews. They like
to play jokes.
