I felt it in my soul too. I was like, "every engineer ever." It isn't a true recording session if ProTools doesn't fuck with you at least once.

The title, _Chaos,_ is just perfect for the spirit of the project. Jumping from metal to holiday music to bluegrass to a sentimental ballad to a power anthem, all in the span of twelve hours... that really is the greatest kind of chaos.

This video really highlights the fact that not only are they writing and recording an album in a day, they are also simultaneously filming a documentary about it, with all those technical challenges added on top. And Rob (the studio guy) is running audio for that on top of the album itself. Insane.

I remember when the first album came out, and I thought it was a goofy novelty that accidentally made some good songs. Now it’s one of my favorite things to look forward to in the year.

Tracking audio for both rooms and having multi camera feeds for 12 hours is on another level. Then having tech issues while still recording, going and grabbing another hd 4 k camera is what this industry is all about. I hope everyone on this team is getting paid well. These sessions are what art is. Down to the guy in post editing all that chaotic footage together. 12 hours of 4k is a butt ton of footage. Respect on all fronts.
