You can find a very interesting interview with Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda at emusician.com about the production of Linkin Park’s new album A Thousand Suns.
According to Mike Shinoda, the sounds on Linkin Park’s heavily textured and sonically complex new album, A Thousand Suns (Warner Bros.), could come from virtually anywhere. In addition to playing various instruments, programming, and rapping on the album, Shinoda also co-produced it with Rick Rubin.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s on your iPhone or if it’s through professional gear in the studio; we record everything,” Shinoda says. “There have been cases where I’ll make a beat and it’s playing through my speakers, and I want to record an idea on my phone so I throw it in the phone, but the beat is on that recording, too, and I choose the phone recording over the actual beat that was in Pro Tools. That all creates the depth and that three-dimensional experience you get on the album.
