Creativity Quote by Daisy Berkowitz

There’s a particular kind of musician wisdom that sounds like a throwaway tip until you realize it’s also a philosophy of power: take one source, give it two perspectives, and suddenly the room feels larger than it is. Daisy Berkowitz is talking about a basic studio move - two mics, two angles, one speaker - but the real intent is about control over scale. “Sounds huge” isn’t a technical measurement; it’s a promise to the listener that the music has weight, space, and inevitability.

The subtext is anti-mystique. Rock production loves to sell itself as wizardry: secret gear, sacred settings, “golden ears.” Berkowitz punctures that with “it’s so simple,” reclaiming bigness as something you can build with attention rather than money or mythology. Two angles means two versions of truth: the bite and the bloom, the attack and the air. Layer them and you’re not just making a louder guitar - you’re making an argument about presence.

Contextually, this reads like a corrective to eras when “huge” became synonymous with overprocessing: walls of compression, digital sheen, endless plug-ins. The trick she’s pointing to is older and more tactile, closer to the craft tradition of engineers who treat microphones like camera lenses. It also nods to how identity gets made in recorded music: the performance is real, but “huge” is a perspective you choose.
