while obviously not optimum, it can and has been done.tell daniel lanois he can't (he did in a home studio in new orleans, and a converted theater in LA.) also, the "neve" room at the now defunct allaire studios was one big open space, and was arguably one of the finest studios in the eastern US in it's day, so sorry for pointing out your numbskullery fuuck

omg! look at this total noob named george massenburg, in this totally non-pro studio called blackbird tracking drums as well as the whole band in the same room, in headphones! and he's using open back grado rs1i's that while sound awesome, are the worst for closing out room source sounds! i know, because i use them all the time!what was he thinking? glad there's guys like you around here that know the 'rulez' and all the right way of doing things..what a maroon


so misinformed you had to say it twice! rofl.

Misinformed? i think not. I didn't say it was impossible. I said it was unlikely you'd get a good drum sound mixing in the same room as the drums. Maybe Massenburg can, but most folks won't.

I'd guess 99% of albums recorded using live drums in the studio have the mixer in another room. So I guess all those producers are douches, numbskulls, and maroons too, huh? In that case, I'm in pretty good company.
