Red Hot Chili Peppers Studio Magic Californication

Californication was recorded analog style with all members of Red Hot Chili Peppers performing at the same time.

As Audio Engineer Jim Scott told Sound On Sound in 1999:

"We recorded all four of them at the same time, which is basically the sound of the album. John did guitar overdubs, maybe two or three on some of the songs, but in the world of overdubs that's not a lot. The slide guitar on 'Scar Tissue' is overdubbed, for example. I don't think he ever went back and replaced a whole guitar track, and Flea might only have replaced a few small sections... The sound of the record is what happened during that first week of recording...

Flea, John and Chad were about 10 feet away from each other in a pretty small circle, and Anthony was just a few more feet away in his booth, easily visible through the glass. They could see each other all the time." - Scott, Recording Red Hot Chili Peppers' Californications, Paul Tingen, Sound On Sound (Dec 1999)
