Dead from alcohol poisoning? =P I agree, that it was interesting though.

yeah ..... because a grammy means your music is good!
And only grammy winners know anything.
Heresy!!!!I absolutely understand room treatment and the reasons it's important and I have none.
For the record I totally agree that musicians have become lazy and have started to just expect the guy editing them to perform magic.
He claimed its not about computers and such, but the human element.
I'm sure their studio is what most of us would consider pro.When people insist on room treatment, 99% of the time, it's about the mixing room, not where you track. You can track in any room you want, if the room helps give you the sound you want for that particular track. I think the reason that the tracking room often gets included in the conversation around here is because most people track and mix in the same (usually small) room. So, when someone posts a picture of their basement set-up and we see the mixing desk in the picture, along with the guitar amp, drums, and mics....I can't see how it would ever be bad advice to suggest getting bass traps in the corners at the very least.
But I'm pretty sure that the Foos mixed that album in a well-treated control room. Correct me if I'm wrong because I didn't look it up, just a semi-educated guess.

Right on Lt.! I kinda liked that *beer can diffuser* thread that was going on for awhile ..... I wounder what became of that project?
Sigh, I am not trying to be a smart ass, but you guys, if you have time, need to read the link that was posted.Dave may have said "its not about computers and such" but the mixing engineer obviously used a DAW to edit the recordings and Mix them.

I believe it ..... but I don't get why it seems incredible to anyone.Sigh, I am not trying to be a smart ass, but you guys, if you have time, need to read the link that was posted.
It was recorded and mixed in Grohls house/home studio whatever you want to call it. They did start to mix in a "real studio", but went back to the house when they realized they were losing the sound they wanted. And the article isnt just Grohl tooting his own horn, they interviewed the producer, engineer and mix engineer. The way they mixed it was pretty amazing. No computer edits, no automation etc.
It baffles me why people dont seem to really believe it? All the info about the process is on the web.

An awful lot of the worlds best recordings were done with no computer edits or automation. Probably a majority of them.
I just fail to grasp how they started "losing the sound they wanted" simply because they were tracking digitally...
