Tom comparing Tape with digital things

Tom shared in an interview that in the comparison of Tape with the Digitization of music recording, it’s all about what you like and how you want to use it. 

Tom used to record with both of the processes. 

He said that he likes the sound of the tape distortion and a little bit of whack that the signal gets when it goes to tape, but he also likes the convenience of the digital things where editing is really quick. 

As previously on tape, it would have taken many days to do editing. He said it is a happy balance between the two.

Tom's description of fame

Tom shared in an interview that he doesn’t know about getting famous. 

According to him, in the days of 2014, a lot of people used to get famous very quickly, and they seem to have a turnover where they lose their fame when someone else steps in their position or fills the slot of those who were disposably famous. 

Tom said that he couldn’t keep up with who’s famous anymore, and he meant that he is introduced to people all the time, and someone would elbow him in the ribs.
