Punkfreak1414 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 The title says it all, does it mean they recorded drums, and then track by track in the control room or does it mean they played and recorded all together in 1 or 2 takes? Whatever it is please explain very detailed. (: (I tried to write this in the questions thread but It didn't let me for some reason)

Jimmy Strummer Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Well, there's a lot of stuff on the Trilogy that was obviously overdubbed later, such as: - vocals - guitar solos - piano - strings - tambourine - hand claps **** all of the above is evidenced by footage from ¡Cuatro! **** - acoustic guitar on "Drama Queen" - organ on "Oh Love" - brass section on "Brutal Love" I'm probably missing a few, I just can't think of them off the top of my head right now, but yes, it's my understanding that everything else (Billie and Jason's rhythm guitars, Mike's bass, and Tré's drums) was recorded at the same time in the same room for each song.
Punkfreak1414 Posted June 26, 2013 Author Posted June 26, 2013 Thank you! Wow that's so awesome how they played it, whether a song took 1 or 20 takes its amazing how well they sounded! Another thing I wonder is if they recorded every song in the order of the track list of the trilogy? O.o

We cant base alot on Cuatro 90% of it were rehearsals footage not actual recording footage
alienlifeform Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 well I can't undestand why record a drum section along with bass and guitars in the same room.. just because the sound of the guitars will interfere on the drums and you won't get a clean sound..
Gregorovich Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 well I can't undestand why record a drum section along with bass and guitars in the same room.. just because the sound of the guitars will interfere on the drums and you won't get a clean sound.. >clean sound >green day
alienlifeform Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 >clean sound >green day you know what I meant... even the dirtier heavy metal band records its drums alone in a room.. so it will sound way better in the final mix.. I was trying to say that if the drums were recorded along with guitar and bass amps, the sound of all the instruments will leak in the drum tracks, what will may the sound worse...

Billie said he wanted to record the whole trilogy live in front of an audience anyway. I really don't think the band members are fussed about the production.
Misterglasshalfempty Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 I don't know anything for sure, but as someone said before, Cuatro isn't really a good source do determine this. I mean, we only get to see some random rehearsals, and no one from the band said that they did all the instruments at once. As far as I remember, we get to see Jason record his guitar part for Kill the DJ in the studio, clearly playing over a pre-recorded bass/drum track. well I can't undestand why record a drum section along with bass and guitars in the same room.. just because the sound of the guitars will interfere on the drums and you won't get a clean sound.. I agree with this, and I find it very unlikely that they recorded the drums in the same room as the other instruments. One thing is trying to get it to sound "live", but it would sound too cheap to do it all in the same room. Again, this is just my opinion, and I might very well be wrong.
WhiteTim Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 well I can't undestand why record a drum section along with bass and guitars in the same room.. just because the sound of the guitars will interfere on the drums and you won't get a clean sound.. Other bands have done it that way In Utero for example
Jon Benjamin Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 I've seen songs recorded at the same time, there was a big room and in that were little seperate rooms for the guitars bass and vocals but it was played at the same time
Clockwise Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I'm pretty sure it wasn't recorded live but they wanted it to sound as if it was. And they've mentioned wanting to record the next record live and wishing they had done so for the trilogy.
