State Champs “Secrets” raw multi-tracks [UNBOXING]

Eyal Levi takes you on a guided tour of the raw multi-tracks for “Secrets” by State Champs from their 2015 album “Around The World And Back,” originally produced by Kyle Black.

A few of the highlights:

Lots and lots of layers of subtle elements like 808s, organs, and tambourines and harmony vocals
Some VERY nice drums that sound really punchy right out of the box (and some samples to add that extra layer of polish), with great rooms
Many layers of leads guitars to work with and blend
A really tight, locked-in rhythm section that gives the song that tight, punchy feel that holds it all together and keeps it moving

Behind the scenes of Nail The Mix in Los Angeles!

It’s a double header!

October 2018’s Nail The Mix took us to Los Angeles, where we streamed TWO sessions: First Warren Huart (of Produce Like A Pro) mixed Whale Bones, then Tyler Smyth (of Dangerkids) mixed “Cutthroat” by Blessthefall. We got to see Warren’s very cool hybrid ITB/SSL console setup, he talked shop with Joey Sturgis, we hung out with Tyler (best dude!) and did a lot of… questionable things due to lack of sleep 🙂

DIMMU BORGIR “Vredesbyrd” – Metal Mix Hall Of Fame

A masterpiece of arrangement and automation

Welcome to our first episode of Metal Mix Hall Of Fame, where Eyal Levi deconstructs important metal songs from a songwriting and mixing perspective with the goal of helping you level up your next song!

DIMMU BORGIR “Vredesbyrd” | Metal Mix Hall Of Fame

Dimmu Borgir’s “Vredesbyrd” from their 2003 album “Death Cult Armageddon” is an absolute MASTERPIECE of automation and arrangement!

In this episode he tackles Dimmu Borgir’s “Vredesbyrd” from their 2003 album “Death Cult Armageddon” which is an absolute MASTERPIECE of automation and arrangement! It was mixed and mastered by Fredrik Nordström & Shagrath.

With a full orchestra in addition to the usual guitars, drums and vocals of a black metal song, there’s a LOT going on here, and it would be very easy for it to turn into mush without the masterful use of automation, balance and dynamics that keeps the song moving at all times — pay careful attention and you’ll notice that nothing stays static; something is always coming to the foreground or receding into the background.

It also displays some very sophisticated used of theme and variation which ties the brass/orchestra together with the guitars and again keeps the song from collapsing on itself with complexity.
