Engineer Joe Blaney on working with Prince. From an unpublished Tape Op interview.

"His method of recording was different from anything I’d been doing up to that time. One thing is he liked to start and finish a song, whether it took
a few hours or a couple of days! There were a few that we went back and worked on that were mixed later. The first thing I did, after that trial mix, was “Dead on It” for The Black Album. We were starting to record songs for the Lovesexy record. There were basically two ways of recording; one was in the control room of Studio A, which had this huge,
live recording room and stone drum booth. There’s nobody like Prince. He’s so talented and can play so many instruments. The vision for what he’s doing… there’s no one I’ve even heard of who’s quite like Prince. We got along fine. He’s actually mild-mannered and nicer than some people might think. Some of his public personas, to some degree, he puts on for people. He was demanding in the sense that he didn’t come from the traditions of recording that you would learn in New York or Los Angeles. His whole thing is homespun. We had this big room with a multi-channel SSL board and all this equipment around. But it was almost still being approached like a home studio. He would operate with a locator and punch in and out on things. If he accidentally erased something it didn’t bother him – he’d fix it or do it again or he’d change the arrangement to make it work. He was really clever. It was always an evolving work. He could operate everything to a degree. The only thing awkward about that was the transition to the SSL. The console in his house had been an API; I think that was more suited for him. The SSL 4000 consoles take a while to get used to make them sound good. It’s not like a traditional console, it’s almost like you have to re-synthesize the music using the compressors and gates. All the little tricks! It was interesting. He wanted a new engineer to get his sound more like other records he was hearing on the radio. At the same time he didn’t want to relinquish turning the k***s and mixing too. We had a relationship where sometimes he would sit there mixing and I would make suggestions. He’d ask my opinion and I’d be the technical expert for guidance."
