Christine Kane Interviews Ben Wisch
There are always moments in the studio when the musicians and producers talk about music, production, performances, creativity, courage, and issues of the music business. I wish I recorded some of our conversations. Especially when Ben Wittman was in the studio. Ben, Ben, and I had some cool talks.
I know there are lots of artists following BeMyRecordLabel - and it’s these kinds of talks that artists love to listen in on. (I know because I’m one of them!)
Anyway, this is a clip of when I actually did turn the camera on. This discussion started with the topic of fans complaining about overproduction of CD’s.
I asked Ben Wisch (and Ben Wittman, who passed the question to the other Ben) how you walk the line between producing and overproducing a CD project. How do you know you’re doing it right?
This is his answer.
Ben also addresses an earlier discussion topic which was about BeMyRecordLabel — how much does the listener of a CD actually need to know about this behind-the-scenes stuff?

Hi Cher - I actually cut it off on purpose cuz my voice was so freakin’ loud that it kind of pops outta nowhere! This was a long back and forth interview and I’m trying to just keep in the cool parts. (And the parts where my voice doesn’t hurt your ears!)

I agree with Ben - it’s all about emotion. Yes it’s nice to know what’s going on. But in the end, what matters is the feelings created and emotions triggered by the song/film/book/painting… You can be as professional as you want in the studio. If you cannot get the message (the deepest part of who you are)through, then the result might be technically tops, but emotionally it’s just crap.
