You probably won't know most of the names, but I found these quotes from Criteria records and some are funny, some were very true, and some are still true today...
“I am just not doing it. I just got over going 16 track. How many tracks could you need?" - Mack Emmerman, frustrated and angry in an impromptu staff meeting in the lobby discussing 24 track recording.
“Old Chinese Proverb- A man with one watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure.” (regarding multiple monitors) - Steven Klein.
“One day there will be consoles that remember everything, and digital boxes that can produce any effect or duplicate sounds. Tracks won’t be a consideration and we will change songs at the push of a button. Besides the fact that there won’t be rewind.” - Steve Klein talking about the future of recording sometime around 1978.
On the bathroom wall…”Here I sit broken hearted, paid $150 an hour and only farted.” - Bobby Caldwell
“Remember what an expert is. Ex is a has been and spurt is a drip under pressure.” - Steve Kimball
“If it is adjustable it will never be right.” - George Terry
“It takes a little time for the before 6 vibe to go away”. - Harper Dance talking about the magical transformation at Criteria after all the business people left at 6pm.
“Find out what the client wants and give it to him.” - Jerry Masters after the staff were asked to write their own job descriptions.
“I just played the coolest guitar part." - Albhy Galuten after recording the guitar riff on Staying Alive.
“It’s gotta weigh enough to sound good.” - Don Gehman talking about the rise in popularity of vintage gear.
“Four echo devices in every studio! Are you nuts?” - Mack Emmerman discussing equipment needs.
