Among Chris Sheldon’s many fantastic mixing credits is The Colour and the Shape by Foo Fighters, which we got to talk about at length! Read more here: https://bit.ly/2Meei1B

Chris would mix songs as they were being finished, with “Monkey Wrench” being one of the first tracks he did.

The songs which Bradley Cook recorded, “hot off the machine,” were literally sent down the street to Chris at Skip Sailor Studios for mixing!

The process was such that if, at some point, Chris and his team had a suggestion for a song—for instance, additional chorus guitars on “Monkey Wrench”—the tracks would be sent back to Bradley Cook for overdubs, and back once more to Skip Sailor Studios. It was practically an album assembly line!

Chris would mix all day until about 8pm and drop off a finished or nearly finished mix on DAT tape to the band at Grandmaster, where they would continue to record throughout the night. The next morning, he would get a new track to mix—“Everlong,” “My Hero,” or one of the many recognizable songs from the album.

Chris did not use any drum samples while mixing the record!
