McCartney III seems to have used a process similar to Working For Each Other. One person in a room doing all the parts and the audio engineering. I doubt Paul quantised it. He didn't really know what that meant after I said it regarding the new track from The Boys of Dungeon Lane. He was chuffed to see that I was cutting using the wave forms for my overdubs, rather than all the modern processes. My process doesn't use a click track, so his is probably similar. Taylor uses clicks, but syncopates around them, which is the LA way. - What excites him is that things which took dozens of people to do in the 1960's are now achievable by someone in their room in the 21st Century. I think that these albums from ageing rockers are a cottage industry where it's essentially irrelevant if they're any good or not. So long as people get paid and it sells a few copies, that's all that counts. - Days We Left Behind smells of overproduced work with too many cooks. Home To Us feels like the rhythms and the harmonies are too separated. As I say, he likes the DIY sound of NZ rock with minimal EQ. It's a bit late now. He asked me to come up with a list of people to re-record some songs, but it was seen as too expensive. There was talk of me doing an overdub solo, but I didn't have access to a proper studio and my brother's not available at the moment.
