The Offspring had already released four full-length records by the time Americana came out in 1998. Their third, Smash, was noted for its commercial success, though the fourth, Ixnay on the Hombre (which Dave also produced), didn’t quite gain the same traction.
The band were veterans by Americana‘s release, and the album contained three of the band’s biggest hits, including “Pretty Fly,” “Why Don’t You Get a Job?,” and “The Kids Aren’t Alright.”
The album was recorded at Eldorado Recording Studios in Hollywood where Dave had been working since the ’70s.

Couldn't agree more. My favorite UA-cam channel in a long time.
rhythmless1 aw shucks! Thanks ever so much my friend!!
Jason Bone Thanks ever so much!!
I will literally fly down if you do Them Bones with Dave.
Rick Beato did a really cool breakdown of it too!
Hey Fluff wouldn't it be nice if Warren did a 90s Fat Wreck series with Ryan Greene?
@@floridapunkarchivist wonderful!!
@@Producelikeapro I'd love to see a Fat Wreck episode
@@Producelikeapro there’s also the last session that fell apart and was ultimately aborted in 1999, they did “Get Born Again”. Layne and Jerry were fighting, and layne had become a recluse addict by this point (three years later he died). The idea was to make two new tracks for the greatest hits album and see if from there a new Alice album could be made. Jerry was always trying to make Alice albums and only made solo albums when he had too.
This interview goes way beyond production techniques. Jerden shares some wisdom about being happy about your craft that applies to just about anything in life you want to succeed in. Well done!!
That album (Americana) was the album that got me started in music, 100%. Great interview!
Thanks! That's amazing to hear!!
This song changed my life. Still remember going by a record shop and checking the Americana album because I knew and liked Pretty Fly, which was pretty much the start of my own musical journey. Awesome Warren!!
I love these videos, never stop please! great album by the way
Dude, Dave seems like the absolute BEST dude to hang out with and learn. Thanks for these! MORE DAVE!
This was such a formative record for me. Thanks for the awesome interview and all the great content you make for us!
God bless you all. Thanks so much Warren for introducing us to all these wonderful people and for teaching us so much.
Thank you Warren for these marvelous videos!!!
Warren! Thank you again so much. This is prime time stuff! It is heartfelt as much as it is educational. Plus, he's involved with shaping the sound on my favorite AIC albums. Imma get a Dave Jerden T-Shirt!
Hi Warren, Dave, great song breakdown and awesome interview, thank you for doing this, all the best, Darren.
Warren you're on fire!! Thanks so much
Thanks Dave! These interviews are supremely interesting.
This was a great record and a huge part of my earlier musical endeavors for me. Such a great series, it's so great to hear from these legends about how they got the sounds. Awesome video as always!
Woooow, what a legend - thank you (ever so much) for all the insights mr. Jerden! And Warren, crazy good as always, thank you!
Hi Rickard Fagerlund thanks ever so much my friend!
This is an awesome channel, I just discovered you from watching the Focusrite Scarlett review and glad to keep on watching.
Wonderful! We'd never have the opportunity to listen in on a chat with people like Dave if it wasn't for you Warren! Thanks ever so much! 😀
such an amazing series!!
“Americana” is the best “The Offspring” album ever! Thank you so much Warren! Really great video, please do a video inside “The Kids Aren’t Alright” ! :)
Ixnay was better musically IMO. Dave produced that one too.
I had no idea how good this interview could be.
Once you got done with Guitar sounds, it really takes off to some amazing places.
You have some real gold nuggets here Warren!
Thanks ever so. much my friend!!
I’m still hoping one of these days you can get rob Cavallo in to do an episode on green day
Another enjoyable vid Warren! I recorded my second album at El Dorado in 2006. Your channel is great!
Great stuff as always!
Amazing video, Warren. You and Dave rock! The PA trick to life up drums sounds awesome. Can you do a video on this topic one day? Thank you ever so much, my friend!
So many gems in there! thank you, dave! thank you, warren!
I think Dave is Ozzy's lost brother.
HAHAHAHAH I wish i came up with that! I was feeling it but couldnt tell what was that!
Loving these session breakdown videos. I have learnt so much just picking up a thing or two from these engineers. Totally agree that source tone is everything with a big focus on Phase relationship.
Thank you so much. That was great.
Another great one ✊✊✊
Love hearing the individual instrument tracks dissected! Ignition was the first album I ever bought.
This video is a goldmine of lessons and advice through such hand-carved, fine-brewed, slow-distilled source of experience that is simply impossible for anyone from my generation to obtain. We are so lucky to have videos like this. Many thanks, may you be blessed with such lucky moments of your own. 😊
Cheers
Wow, super cool to hear all of Dave's awesome stories! Lots of great words of wisdom.
I recorded drums recently, and I was sure to keep my overhead mics low per his suggestion in an earlier video.
yesssss!!! thank you! this series is amazing. owwwwwwwwwwwwwww on the belly show!
Bought the album back in the summer of 1998 and always admired the production style of this banger from Dave Jerden. Thanks Warren for showing great music in this great series.
For anyone saying he's ranting too much... he's giving you tips from George Martin... like what else do you want? If you really wanna hear offspring stems im sure you can find em on the web. Dave your a legend, i could listen to you talk all day. Warren your a legend too and these are so insightful.
You’re....
That's the Harry. The guys on the brink of nodding off.
You the man warren! This is the first album I ever bought! Thank you. God bless!
MorbidManMusic
C’mon man, I have no time for trolling. But if you must know, any God or higher power that you believe in.
Nope. I’m dead serious. It’s my first album. Not trolling at all
I love this album and Ixnay so damn much. Awesome to get this insight!!
Absolutely love hearing you guys talk about this stuff. Dave produced some of my favourite albums. I'd love to hear a few inside stories on Sound Of White Noise by Anthrax. Massively under-rated album. Killers sounds and killer songs.
Thanks again Warren for another great Episode! Stunning Series, Absolutely Love it !
That was awesome!
Love it! Such a great song!! Was actually turned on to it by Weird Al’s parody haha Great episode as always! 🙂
Pretty Fly for a Rabbi lmao
I'd love to see you talk with someone like Ross Robinson about his work on the early Slipknot albums. I know people like to rag on that era of rock music, but there were still a lot of really cool experimental things going on behind the scenes production-wise with many bands who exploded during that time. Y'all have any other suggestions from the late 90s-early 2000s era that would make for an interesting breakdown video?
At the Drive-In or Glassjaw
That first Slipknot album would be insane.
i'm going to poo in a little plastic box put it aside and save it for the day a slipknot album video gets released when i shall open the box and devour the contents in lieu of consuming any slipknot material
@@edisonstoupee2536 the production and tones on Worship & Tribute is fantastic
A lot of people rag on every era of every music
Thanks so much again Warren your a gift to this world! The whole p.a. idea iv heard of and i swear i heard that soundgarden did it with matt cameron at some point? Anyone know and which album... i swear i thought it was superunknown but that wasnt mentioned in the black hole sun episode.... thanks again.
For the las couple of weeks I have had Got to Get Away by the Offspring! What a great band, thanks Warren and Dave!!
Absolutely wonderful.... THANKS GUYS and to think I laughed when The Mission told me they were mic'ing instruments coming thru a PA ... oops 😬 x
Big fan of The Offspring and this was super interesting. As a complete recording newb I was amazed at how trebly and nasty the guitar sounded on its own. But when with the bass and drums etc it sounds huuuuge.
Possibly the best half hour I’ve ever spent on UA-cam. Fucking excellent episode. Thank you!
so cool Idid't know Dave Jerden did this album thx Warren for another great video
Liquid Studio Productions he produced this album and the last two Alice In Chains song around 1998-1999, so yea he’s a pretty famous producer.
@@ryanstroup8379 great work
@@ryanstroup8379 I just checked out his Wiki page unreal all the albums he was involved with.
I love your content Warren
Two legends undeniably
This interview is one of your best Warren. Wow.
These videos are so good ... you gotta get this guy back and do more with him and just let him talk as much as possible about recording and mixing his wisdom is amazing 😉
this is amazing content. please keep these up! would love to hear something from the blink 182 self-titled album!!
Palace Watson I too would like that, unfortunately the producer Jerry Finn died a couple of years ago. Perhaps if the engineer have some insight to the album?
Theodor Bergström Agreed! Having an engineer from that album unpack Jerry and Blinks amazing work would be legendary.
Mr Dave Jerden; you are a one off, an enigma, a visionary, a pursuer, philospher and you've made some damn fine records - the real deal!
these videos are great
Loved that story about your wife....Would be so cool if you do some story telling in future- you have no idea how much people like you and wanna hear of your background..If you feel like sharing ofcourse. Cheers....Btw, what a content !!!
Legends Pine Ln wow! Thanks ever so much my friend! That’s very kind of you!
Man! Thank you, Dave Jerden!
Just saw the offspring recently , left the show concussed cuz that mosh pit was bananas. Loved it, one of the best live shows ever. Legendary punk band that deserved to be as popular as green day. They are incredibly consistent song writers . And often fast paced punk rockers . I love the offspring .
I’ll also add that I ALWAYS noticed the guitars in the offspring , right before warren said it it thought “ those guitars are so in your Face” . I always noticed the guitars in the offspring as super fast and cartoonish sounding, in the best way.
He’s right about the singing. As I got better at singing, I realized something, and I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. But when I sang the higher notes life easily, it was sanitized, it didn’t sound as intense and raspy or complex as when I sang those same notes with less ease. Singing at your best at the time , or rather, the highest you can or most intense you can, just gives more life to the very same notes. Like adding gain or distortion to a guitar riff. It can help.
I love the way he describes his want for sound, it resonates with me .
These videos never let me down
These are the first two albums I ever bought. I'd love to see Dave review a track from Ixnay - I always felt like that record had a wash-y drum tone. Then Americana expanded all the right areas sonically. Very lean and punchy.
Thank you Warren, this 'Inside the Song' is everything I could wish for!! Loving the show.
Songs themselves were better on ixnay in my opinion. When i think off offspring sound, ixnay is what i think of.
Dude, you are readin my mind or something. Another quality content.
These must be premasters right? It sounds so much more dynamic than the smashed album version. Especially the snare - this sounds GREAT!
i love the album version and consider it JUST barely scratching "smashed", but these premasters are something else! i know guitar hero multi-tracks exist but these sound better (perhaps warren ran the tracks through outboard gear?)
Thats so cool I never new that story about meeting your better half,
I love the album, listend it alot as a kid
David Ben deWaard wonderful!!
still a kid, still listen to it
Great video once again! Was really hoping for an explanation of the Def Leppard sample from Rock of Ages "Gunter Glieben Glauten Globen" at the start of the song, but I'm guessing that was added in post, nothing to do with recording...
That uber-trebly, fizzy guitar works perfectly for the song & reminds us that this is an aggressive rock/punk band playing this pop song.
Outstanding, thank you! What year is that "The Paul" in the rack? I still have my 78' but she's in the case waiting for a fret job.
I always say to my students - Art if defining yourself, through sound in this case. It is amazing if one thinks about it...
Dave is a living sound engineering encyclopedia !!!
Wow, I missed this one! Awesome breakdown!
Do you have a Höfner bass, Warren?
I see a guitarbody shaped the same as a Höfner on the wide camera shot with the SSL faders spread out on the bottom of the screen in the 5 piece guitarrack.
As soon as He mentioned jets taking off in a Jane's song I knew the exact moment in the song he was talking about. Had never thought of it before. Brilliant!
Mad scientist! love it.
Haha I loved this song even when it came out, I was a 6-7 year old girl then - still do.
Always a pleasure chatting with Dave! What song do you want to hear about next? I'll see if I can make it happen! :)
Anything by The Smiths!
The Cult Love Album 1985 by Steve Brown or their Sonic Temple 1989 Album 🤘
Per usual - A Pearl Jam song with Brendan O'Brien or something with Neil Young!
I'd love to hear about anything off Jeff Buckley's Grace or Ænima by Tool
I concur, if you could entice Brendan O'Brien into your lair.... holy crap that would be a grunge hat-trick
Your belly needs a tad bit of sun Warren :) , as always some very very good content and we all love how you pronounce "room", thanks for sharing!
Quick question Warren
When recording the drums going through pa speakers to get a bigger room sound, are you stereo recording or just using one mic?
Thx
Hi men, I saw that Offspring used this SONY digital mixing board, but not sure if they used that as a song development tool, then later went into an analog studio to track the album stuff onto tape. If you can elaborate, I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks for making these videos and hope you are having a great day!
Great video, love to see Rated R with Chris Goss.
These analyses are so bloody good. I enjoy them a lot. Do you have any intentions on analysing any of "Tool" songs?
YESSSSS! Warren talking about The Offspring?? Heaven!
These are great Warren, more please! Would love to see some Rammstein at some point too :D
I second that motion
Jacob Hellner doing Rammstein's Du Riechst So Gut would totally blow my mind!
Singing at the top of their range. Wow, was that insightful.
I believe Rick Rubin had Death Magnet at standard tuning to get Jame’s voice to have its magic again.
The way the drums were recorded, I hadn’t heard of that before, micing a PA? Man.
This whole episode was amazing.
Americana, my favorite Offspring album. So much nostalgia.
This dude is awesome btw.. love how enthusiastic he is and his crazy side stories. Thanks for the upload! Great stuff
jesus man! this is really cool
Lol, Rick Beato had a demo showing that drum recording technique using speakers a couple days ago. Small world.
Yeah, it's the analogue version of retriggering a drumkit as we know it today. It works rather beautiful though. Actually it works better (sonically) and faster compared with the way we do it nowadays. We just kinda forgot it and we also don't have a bunch of snare's in stock.
Rick's was different ie retriggering acoustic drums using speaker impulses. This is about playing your drum recording through a p.a. into a live room and recording that live ambience.
He did that snare triggering video a day later
I’m so glad UA-cam has captions.
hello Warren!
is it possible to have phase problems with vst drums and vst bass?
Interesting guy with an interesting approach, loved that.
Always rated this song, def the outstanding track on the album. A question for FAQ - I've seen comments that if you don't oversample and/or use high sample recording rates, analog modeled plugins will produce harmonic distortion that is very un-analog sounding! Any thoughts?
Great song.😎
Damn Jerden is a GENIUS!
So inspiring how you rerecorded the drums.
I can listen to Dave all day .
@ 21:00 talking about cymbal wash. I have problems with that sometimes. I might try that mic closer technique. Could be a good topic for a video.
I would love to see Dave Jerden break down something he did for Armored Saint or Anthrax's Sound Of White Noise (anything with John Bush singing!)
Would be interesting to hear about is side chain compression, I use it a lot with electronic music creation, is it used much in songs like this, with the kick drum and bass guitar? Or other parts?
Nice friend!
I would love to see you dissect a Motorhead song with Cameron Webb
You can buy it from Pro Mix Academy
oh my... fantastic.
Awesome! Love this album, defined me together with some other (more heavy) guitar bands like Metallica, System of a Down, Korn during my puberty... Great to see it "broken down" into pieces!
Thank you Warren! You should do something by Rage against the Machine! That band was amazing!
