New Order – “Let’s Go” Original Studio Mixing Desk Plan
An original mix plan from the studio sessions for New Order’s unreleased track “Let’s Go” (also known as “Let’s Go – Nothing for Me”). This studio document, sourced from Arthur Baker’s personal archive, details the channel configuration and effects layout used during production—offering a rare behind-the-glass view of how the track came together.
Originally created for the Salvation! movie soundtrack but not released until years later as the B-side to “1963,” Let’s Go represents the experimental edge of New Order’s late-’80s output. This desk plan provides a unique window into the technical choices and collaborative workflow between Baker and the band during a fertile and innovative creative period.
