The mixing process proved rather tense as Plotkin and Dylan had conflicting ideas on how to mix the songs. Plotkin made numerous prototype mixes, delivering each one on cassette dub over to Dylan at Rundown Studios. Most, if not all of them, were rejected. "Chuck to get a nice mix at the end of each song", recalls Jim Keltner, "and Bob wouldn't have any of the nice mixes. Most everything you hear on that "Shot of Love" album turns out to be the monitor mixes." Plotkin spent another month mixing and overdubbing over the nine songs selected for "Shot of Love". Mixing was finally completed on June 7, with overdubbing continuing through June 16.
