Splicing

Allan Holdsworth (Guitar Player 1982)

Were any solos spliced on I.O.U.?



We didn't do any splicing. In fact, most of the album was done straight in one take. I don't like cutting. I'd rather do it again from the top then cut it. I just don't like editing.

It doesn't feel right?



I don't know, but I'm always waiting for it when it comes around. I can hear it when I've done it before -- on other people's records. I go, "Oh, God." It usually stands out like someone poking you in the eye halfway through the track.
