Don’t make this massive career mistake! [ The Career Builder Show ]

Focus on *one* thing!!

It’s easy to get tempted by what seems like a quick payday doing something outside of audio, but DON’T DO IT!!! URM Director of Marketing Finn Mckenty tells you why it’s critical that you focus on doing one thing and one thing only: being a producer.

We’ve heard from a few people who are working with bands on things like social media, marketing, music videos, and so forth. And while that might put a little money in your pocket today, it actually comes at a huge long-term cost because it takes you down the path of being a jack of all trades and a master of none– you’ll quickly find yourself in a situation where you aren’t as good of a producer as someone who specializes in production, and also not as good of a marketer as someone who specializes in marketing… no bueno!

Lamb Of God “Redneck” raw multi-tracks [ UNBOXING ]

Eyal Levi takes you on a guided tour of the raw multi-track session for “Redneck” by Lamb Of God off their 2006 album “Sacrament,” originally mixed by Machine. Get instant access to these Lamb Of God multi-tracks Machine’s full mixing session ► http://nailthemix.com/lambofgod A few things to note about this epic, iconic session: – Quad-tracked guitars as well as DIs are provided.

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

  • Quad-tracked guitars as well as DIs are provided. The tones are surprisingly low-gain, but they sound incredible because Lamb Of God guitarists Willie Adler and Mark Morton have tone for days in their hands
  • The rhythm section of bassist John Campbell and drummer Chris Adler is INSANELY tight!!! Listen to how these two are absolutely LOCKED together (and that perfect bass tone)
  • Chris Adler’s drum tracks are exactly as tight as you think they would be 🙂
  • A fair amount of drum overdubs in this session (a Machine trademark) which are NOT a cheat or lazy workaround – in fact, they’re the opposite. Only great drummers like Chris Adler can pull it off.
  • Randy Blythe’s vocals sound fierce and huge right out of the box – no fancy effects or tricks needed

Mixing massive vocal harmonies w/ Kane Churko + Gemini Syndrome

65 vocal tracks?!

Kane Churko shows how he approaches high track-count vocal harmonies using the raw multi-tracks for “You Are Not Alone” by Gemini Syndrome, which has literally dozens of layers of vocals and nails that huge, polished radio rock vocal sound.

Mixing huge rock vocal harmonies w/ Kane Churko and Gemini Syndrome

Learn how to mix rock vocal harmonies when you have huge track counts with layer upon layer. Kane Churko shows how he approaches it using the raw multi-tracks for “You Are Not Alone” by Gemini Syndrome and Aaron Nordstrom’s vocals.

A few things to note about his approach in this clip:

  • His goal isn’t to make it sound like dozens of tracks. It’s just to make the vocals sound thick, dense and in your face
  • He mostly reserves quad stacking for thicker parts like the pre-chorus and chorus (lead, double, left and right)
  • He uses Pro Tools with Slate FG-73, Sonnox Oxford EQ, and Eiosis E2 Deesser, but the same techniques will work with any DAW and similar plugins

Try it out in your next mix when you’re dealing with massive track counts and let us know what you think!
