Smith, Richard (14 June 2007). "Songs from a pointless war". theguardian.com . Retrieved 16 May 2023. Grammy Award 1986 – Brothers in Arms Best Engineered Recording, Non-Classical (for Brothers in Arms, Mark Knopfler Neil Dorfsman engineer) During the recording of " Money for Nothing", the signature sound of Knopfler's guitar may have been enhanced by a "happy accident" of microphone placement. Knopfler was using his Gibson Les Paul going through a Laney amplifier. While setting up the guitar amplifier microphones in an effort to get the " ZZ Top sound" that Knopfler sought, guitar tech Ron Eve, who was in the control room, heard the "amazing" sound before Dorfsman was finished arranging the mics. "One mic was pointing down at the floor," Dorfsman remembered, "another was not quite on the speaker, another was somewhere else, and it wasn't how I would want to set things up—it was probably just left from the night before, when I'd been preparing things for the next day and had not really finished the setup." [10] What they heard was exactly what ended up on the record; no additional processing or effects were used during the mix. [10] Dorfsman and Knopfler made the decision to erase Williams' contributions. [12] Williams was replaced in the sessions by jazz session drummer Omar Hakim, who re-recorded all the album's drum parts during a two-day stay before leaving for other commitments. [10] All of the drumming on the final album was performed by Hakim, with the exception of the improvised crescendo at the beginning of “Money for Nothing”. [14] (In another interview, Dorfsman has said that Williams' fills and tom-toms were also used in the rest of “Money for Nothing”). [15] Both Hakim and Williams are credited on the album. [16]
