The Grammy's should be part of the Electronic Manufaturers Convention.
Oh please. Like most of the drummers here aren't guilty of recording to a click and re-doing every section till perfect and then still applying heavy post.
Im not sure most of us here can afford that. My band just spent 3 days in the studio and the process of recording and mixing took up our entire budget, which was not a small amount. There was no money left for perfection or "heavy post" once the basic tracks were laid down. Drum editing is time consuming and therefore expensive, so I decided to just play to the best of my ability and spend the money in the mix.
But in defense of those who do get perfect tracks, I have a recording I made in the 90's that has some mistakes, and it drives me crazy every time I listen to it. So if given the opportunity I would have made the whole thing perfect to avoid the glaring mistakes.
I'm not just talking about in studio. For probably less than you spent on that, you could have grabbed a interface, decent computer and a DAW, then done it yourself. The results aren't typically as good as a pro studio in raw form, but if you're going to spend time re-doing every section to a click and putting it together, followed by digital processing then it really doesn't matter as much. I've heard some stuff lately I would have guessed was pro studio but I was wrong!
Huh. People watch the Grammy's?
^ This.
I don't get why anyone even bothers to pay attention to them.

This years Grammies had the smallest audience in years. People are tired of garbage.
If that was the case, then we should have called all popular music after Les Paul as the "Ampex Multi-Track Awards."
While she's right, talk about biting the hand.
