Unboxing A Day To Remember raw multi-tracks

Take notes on this arrangement!

Eyal Levi takes you on a guided tour of the raw multi-tracks for “Right Back At It Again” by A Day To Remember, as seen on Nail The Mix in 2017.

A Day To Remember “Right Back At It Again” raw multi-tracks [UNBOXING]

Eyal Levi takes you on a guided tour of the raw multi-tracks for “Right Back At It Again,” by pop-punk legends A Day To Remember. The song was originally recorded by Andrew Wade and mixed by Ken Andrews from their 2013 album “Common Courtesy.”

Here’s a few things to note as you watch the unboxing:

Lots and lots of layers of vocals, as you’d expect from a Jeremy McKinnon and Andrew Wade production. There’s a LOT of interesting details about the vocal arrangement in this song, and you’d be smart to pay close attention to them.
Several layers of effects/post-production for the bridge (marching band, beatboxing, etc). Take notes on this part!
Guitars are provided both amped and DI – Bass is provided amped and as MIDI, if you want to use a virtual instrument in addition to/instead of the performed track (for example, to use as a sub-bass track)

Unboxing Emmure “Flag Of The Beast” multi-tracks

Eyal Levi takes you on a guided tour of the raw multi-tracks for “Flag Of The Beast” by Emmure, as seen on Nail The Mix in 2017.

Emmure “Flag Of The Beast” raw multi-tracks [UNBOXING]

Eyal Levi takes you on a guided tour of the raw multi-tracks for “Flag Of The Beast” by Emmure, from their 2017 album “Look At Yourself.” It was originally produced and mixed by WZRD BLD with engineering by Jeff Dunne and featured on Nail The Mix in July of 2017.

Here’s a few things to note as you watch the unboxing:

This is one of the most intricate episodes ever of Nail The Mix! Eyal is using Pro Tools in this video, but WZRD BLD and Jeff Dunne use Cubase and go into insane detail in their Nail The Mix.
Some extremely well-done programmed drums (using Getgood Drums)
A MONSTER bass track. The secret here is very simple: it’s played by Josh Travis (formerly of Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza and Glass Cloud) who is one of those guys with magic in his hands.
Insanely brutal, percussive rhythm guitar tracks! Again, this is due to Josh Travis’ “finger tone” more than anything else.
A killer vocal performance by Frankie Palmeri – you can see that although people talk a lot of smack on Emmure, all the performances in this song are absolutely top notch (and you’d be smart to learn as much as you can from them)
Lots and lots of interesting effects, synths, post-production and other stuff like the “ticks” track that add that extra layer of polish that really takes the song over the top
