For those wondering about Chris Holmes role:

He is a studio engineer for the band, he doesn't do the final mastering of the song.

Chris + whoever else they are using as engineers will hand in the final mix of the song with all the instruments/vocals EQ'd perfectly.

The song will then be mastered (balancing bass, treble, volume, etc perfectly for a number of mediums) by a professional, as already mentioned this is usually Tom Lord-Alge.

sorry dude but when you're trying to explain something make sure you know your stuff.

holmes as a studio engineer oversees the recording process and makes sure everything gets recorded as good as possible. but i bet they still use another professional producer who gives them a hand on finding the best micing situations / sounds and even helps them in terms of song structures. by the way that's what jerry finn used to do before he died.

AFTER that the recorded tracks get send to a professional mixing engineer. he's the guy who mixes and eqs everything perfectly. in case of most high budget rock productions these days this would be one of the lord-alge brother (chris or tom).

and after THAT the mixed tracks get send to the mastering studio where again someone else (but NOT the lord-alges as they are mixers) masters the tracks to fit all together on the final album. meaning that guy makes sure all tracks have the same level and just kinda sound like they fit on the same cd together. then this masterd version of all tracks is ready to be released.

i hope this clears up all the questions on the whole recording process once and for all ;)

This is correct. Often the producers and engineers of an album (in this case blink-182 and Chris Holmes/Critter, respectively) will hand the songs over to a mixer who hasn't been working in the studio because he can lend fresh, unbiased, and objective ears to the songs. Finally the mastering process where they will sequence and author the disc/files themselves.

Hard at work would be the worst title possible.

I think Hard at Work would be the perfect album title..

I'm just now realizing how funny and perfect of a title that would be for them lol.  I'm also stoned, so that helps, lol.

So the single has officially been turned into the label...You wouldn't think they'd hold on to it that long.

We've waited since 2003 for new music. We can wait another 2 weeks for new stuff, hang in there.

I wasn't complaining. I was stating.

I know this is dumb, but did Tom play a clip of new Blink on Modlife? This was on YouTube, it's not Stockholm Syndrome. Check out the coments.

It showed up when I was listening to the Apple Shampoo clip below this topic.

if i hear this clip one more time i'm gonna kill someone
