Confirming by it that the song will be soon released! What we know about the song so far? Mike Elizondo - producer, songwriter who worked with world class number of artists, including Twenty One Pilots, Mastodon, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Nelly Furtado and many more. During the interview with Mike Shinoda in one of the "Pensado's Place" episodes, near the end of it when one of the program leaders was mentioning that Mike Elizondo will be guest in one of the next episodes, this is what Mike said about him: "Make sure you ask Mike Elizondo.... Mike Elizondo at one point for a very short period of time was the bass player for Linkin Park. Ask him about that story. Phoenix left us for a short time and Elizondo at that time was our top candidate for bass player. We asked him to be "on it"...we were doing it, and he said at a certain point... 'Man I don't know what to do. On one hand, you guys are doing so well and I love the music and on the other hand, Dre wants me to work on this new album with him and he's offering me points on the new record. It's this white kid from Detroit....Eminem.'" Mike Elizondo did collaborate on two songs from the new album From Zero - "Overflow" and "Heavy Is The Crown" where he did additional production on the songs. Also, the song was mixed by Rich Costey a Multi-platinum grammy award winner. Rich is known for his works of artists such as Muse, System Of A Down, My Chemical Romance, The Foo Fighters or The Killers. Portion of the credits: Hide contents MIKE SHINODA - Producer, RecordingEngineer BRAD DELSON - Guitar, Co-Producer Ethan Mates - RecordingEngineer Mike Elizondo - Additional Production Colin Brittain - Drums, Co-Producer Rich Costey - Mixer Jeff Carbon - Assistant Mixer Emerson Mancini - Masterer LFG!!!

No vocals of het or no writing credits? Didn't add to credits who does vocals if it's Mike, Emily or both of them because don't have info about that. I'm 99% sure it's both of them but still don't have any confirmation on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinescence Posted Thursday at 08:22 PM Share Posted Thursday at 08:22 PM So...a former Xero bass player has co-produced two of the new songs? We've really gone full circle now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPLStaff Posted yesterday at 12:45 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:45 AM Wonder why they are going with different people for mixing and mastering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftshoe18 Posted yesterday at 02:09 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:09 AM Yeah, that is a weird decision. You would think they'd want one consistent pipeline to make the album sound cohesive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftshoe18 Posted yesterday at 03:05 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:05 AM That could make sense for additional collaborators or producers or whatever, but it's a little weird that they have different mixing and mastering credits. Those, in my opinion, should be handled at the end of the process together to make the most cohesive sound possible. Of course, professionals should be able to mix and master in a way that's cohesive with other parts of the same project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somebodyangry Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago I imagine something like Wastelands mixed with some of the heavier Lacuna Coil stuff, don’t know why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike said that the very first sessions w emily were in 2019? Hmm. Don't think they finalized songs back then before going to EastWest Studios in 2023 with Emily - surely they are enough of a perfectionist band that they re-recorded everything then and made it super good, instead of keeping a ton of material from Mike's house. But I don't know that for sure. Brad said he didn't even meet Emily until they went to the studio - he met her many years after the rest of the band had been working with her. Brad may have just been a "Mike needs him for producer role as a shoulder to lean on for studio LP work" type of deal and Brad wanted to stay in the band after all, OR Brad trusted the other 3 the entire time to get things right before he eventually joined in (and he was never "out"). One of those two. I guess song credits can tell us more about everything. The confusing one is Rob since he didn't leave until very late 2022, or early 2023 just before Meteora 20. So he was aware of the sessions with Emily, likely even met her since he was involved as far back as 2019 with sessions. What a crazy situation with him.

martinez Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago I think that if it's about mastering it would be more "who have a time to do it right now" case becase if it's about "well this is great but let's see what this other guy will do with it" case I would save for mixing only. Maybe they sent all tracks to both mixers and they just choose 5 mixed by Neal and the other 5 mixed by Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s very interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somebodyangry Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago I highly doubt that they will put out a track without Emily on vocals as a single/ promotional single. Would make no sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't really know about when Rob left, it's all speculation at this point. He most likely left after Hybrid Theory 20 4 hours ago, martinez said: I think that if it's about mastering it would be more "who have a time to do it right now" case becase if it's about "well this is great but let's see what this other guy will do with it" case I would save for mixing only.

As a producer myself, the only reason for not using the same guy is to have different sounds of the mixes and masters. Everyone do things very differently, so most likely those 5 by one guy sounded right to them and the other 5 sounded right with the other guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
