==Production career==
 
Raskulinecz is from the [[Bearden, Knoxville, Tennessee|Bearden]] area of [[Knoxville, Tennessee]]. He first produced and recorded bands in Knoxville on a {{US$|2,700}} eight-track recorder that his grandfather bought for him.<ref name="kns20030223">{{cite news |last=Bledsoe |first=Wayne |date=February 23, 2003 |title=Bearden grad to be at Grammys |work=Knoxville News-Sentinel |url=http://wma.weezernation.com/2003023tkns.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050107112644/http://wma.weezernation.com/2003023tkns.htm |archive-date=January 7, 2005}}</ref> He played in a popular local [[thrash metal|thrash]]/[[funk]] band called [[Hypertribe]]. Three of their albums were produced at Underground Recording Studio in [[Seymour, Tennessee]], with Matt Lincoln engineering and sharing producing duties. Soon Raskulinecz moved to [[Los Angeles]] with his band, now renamed Movement, in 1995, and took a job at [[Sound City Studios]] as an assistant, following a suggestion by [[Brian Bell]] from [[Weezer]]. He eventually became an engineer and learned how to produce.<ref name=radar>{{cite web|url=http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/nick-raskulinecz-on-producing-rush-foo-fighters-alice-in-chains-290080/|title=Nick Raskulinecz on producing Rush, Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains|publisher=[[MusicRadar]]|first=Joe|last=Bosso|date=November 3, 2010|access-date=December 4, 2011}}</ref><ref name=conn>{{cite web|url=https://www.musicconnection.com/producer-crosstalk-nick-raskulinecz/|title=Producer Crosstalk: Nick Raskulinecz|date=July 7, 2014|website=Music Connection Magazine|access-date=February 11, 2019}}</ref>
 
In 2001, shortly after Raskulinecz left Sound City, he was struggling as an independent engineer at a rehearsal studio and thought of returning to Knoxville with wife Amber. Then [[Dave Grohl]], whom he met engineering the [[Foo Fighters]] track "A320" for ''[[Godzilla: The Album]]'', invited Raskulinecz to help make the Foo Fighters' next album at Grohl's home studio in [[Alexandria, Virginia]]. Raskulinecz, who was set to make his producing debut making ''[[Last Call for Vitriol]]'' with fellow Knoxvillians [[Superdrag]], instead accepted Grohl's proposal and the result was ''[[One by One (Foo Fighters album)|One by One]]'', released in 2002. The experience was successful and Raskulinecz returned for the Foo Fighters follow-up ''[[In Your Honor]]'' (2005).<ref name=radar/><ref name=scene>{{cite web|url=https://www.nashvillescene.com/news/article/13032833/nick-raskulinecz-the-producer|title=Nick Raskulinecz – The Producer|website=Nashville Scene|access-date=February 11, 2019}}</ref> He has also mixed the audio on the Foo Fighters DVDs ''[[Everywhere but Home]]'', ''[[Foo Fighters Live at Wembley Stadium]]'' and ''[[Skin and Bones (Foo Fighters album)|Skin and Bones]]'', the latter of which was accompanied by the live DVD at [[Hyde Park, London|Hyde Park]], also mixed by Raskulinecz.

Raskulinecz produced ''[[Snakes & Arrows]]'' with [[Canada|Canadian]] rock trio [[Rush (band)|Rush]] in 2007.
