Inside The Mix: Chris Shaw on Recreating the Blue Album Tone (Part 2)

In part two, Chris dives into the bass and guitar layers that made “Say It Ain’t So” unforgettable. Using the original Pro Tools session, he walks through the instruments, tones, and creative choices that defined Weezer’s sound.

Highlights include:

• How bass and guitars merged into one massive ten-string wall
• The Jaguar intro tone and classic Twin Reverb setup at Electric Lady
• Mic placement and EQ decisions that shaped the record’s punch
• The importance of leaving amp buzz and feedback in the final mix

An essential masterclass in balancing power, imperfection, and emotion in rock production.
