We used to go to the studios, sit with the musicians, rehearse with them and sing live. It was a different kind of tension, different kind of atmosphere of being on your toes because you have to sing the entire song without making any kind of mistakes. So that was a total different phase of my life. Now is the phase of dubbing. If you make a mistake, you can even sing that half line again.
People even punch in one word.
That way we are more relaxed about singing than I was. You know if your voice is not going to reach the note you can try it again. So it was different atmosphere then and I got to work with great masters like Laxmikant Pyarelal and R D Burman. But then I was more in awe of those people. Today I work with music directors who are probably my age or younger to me.
