Listened to bleach on my drive today, it still slays. I would love if someday we got a reworked version with new drum performances by Grohl.

Re-cutting drum tracks is about the most difficult thing in the world to ask an engineer to do! Drums sound great as is anyway.

EDIT: I mean, unless they're just playing to a click.

Oh, it's so easy these days with time stretching. That whole record could easily be stretched to fit a grid and click track, then re-humanized once the parts were captured. Assuming Dave could remember the parts easy enough, you're talking about three days in the studio before a mixing session.

Ok maybe, but there's just something not right about pitch shifting, time stretching, and re-humanizing (whatever that is)... Give me some 2" tape, punch-ins, and a razor blade

I used to love to bias my 2" machine and try to splice tape. But recent advances in summing boxes and plug-ins have rendered that approach unnecessarily laborious in my mind. Track digital, sum through an analog box to tape for the glue (compression and HF/LF roll off), then back to digital for the mix.
