Recording and Mixing "Billie Jean"....
The year is 1982. The song is "Billie Jean". The sonic image of Michael Jacksons' "Billie Jean" is a perfect example of what happened, when I sat around dreaming awhile, about combining different recording techniques to produce a unique musical canvas with a tremendous 'sonic personality'.
Of course I was comfortably ensconsed in Westlake Audio’s beautiful new Studio ‘A’ on Beverly Boulevard, with my good friends Quincy Jones, Micheal Jackson and Rod Temperton. We were doing our favorite thing... We were making music!!! We had just started recording Michael Jackson’s album “Thriller”...
We were recording Michael’s song “Billie Jean”.....

примерно так: "Был собран 91 вариант песни, из которых Куинси Джонс и сам Майкл в итоге выбрали вариант номер два. Именно так и было: сидят собирают поздно ночью 91–ый вариант, и тут Куинси говорит: "а почему бы нам не вернуться к варианту номер 2"? Который и пошел в альбом."
