New Max Norman interview about Blizzard recording sessions..

[Shockwave]

Some interesting stuff I never knew. Especially that Ozzy would only sing and record one line at a time, then double it. Once that was finished he moved onto the next line and so on..

I just read the interview!!! Great timing!!!

That's an excellent interview. Was Max even paid for the work on that first record?

[stealaway]

Indeed!? Was Max ever paid? Or only fired at some point afterwards, how many years later that was...?

[Shockwave]

He said he listened to those “mold” tracks a few years after the recordings with Ozzy. So I imagine he is referring to Ozzy’s isolated vocal tracks in that instance. Since he worked on the Tribute album I would guess that is when this occurred. I don’t think Max did anything with Ozzy after the tribute album?

Especially that Ozzy would only sing and record one line at a time, then double it. Once that was finished he moved onto the next line and so on..

I remember hearing this a while back and thinking how odd that is, and how much time it would take. Then I heard the vocals on Back in Black were recorded basically the same way. I then made the mistake of listening to interviews of recording producers and engineers and there stories about some of the artists I like.

Smoke and mirrors.
