Architects “Gone With The Wind” raw multi-tracks [ UNBOXING ]

Eyal Levi takes you on a guided tour of the raw multi-tracks for Architects “Gone With The Wind” from their 2016 album “All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us,” originally mixed by Henrik Udd.

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

  • Beastly vocal performance from Sam Carter that sounds massive right out of the box
  • Very, very thick guitar tone (although DIs are also provided if you want to reamp for some reason)
  • Super tight, hard-hitting drum performance from Dan Searle. You won’t need to use many samples with these drums.
  • A lot of subtle layers of synths, effects and post-production (a lot of what sounds like synth is actually guitars, though)

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

Unboxing Meshuggah “Monstrocity” raw multi-tracks

Yep, it’s that good!

Eyal Levi takes you on a guided tour of the raw session for this monster of a song (ba dum tiss), originally mixed by Tue Madsen and featured on Nail The Mix back in 2017. And YES, it sounds as ridiculously amazing as you are imagining it does 🙂

Meshuggah “Monstrocity” raw multi-tracks [ UNBOXING ]

Eyal Levi takes you on a guided tour of the raw multi-tracks for “Monstrocity” by Meshuggah from their 2016 album “The Violent Sleep Of Reason,” originally mixed by Tue Madsen…

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

  • It was recorded essentially live, which is very rare for metal because very few bands can pull it off like Meshuggah or Gojira can
  • The overall arrangement is pretty straightforward… no orchestra or synths or anything, just drums bass guitars and vocals (Tomas Haake on drums, Fredrick Thorendal and Marten Hagstrom on guitar, Dick Lovgren on bass, Jens Kidman vocalist)
  • While the arrangement is simple, there are a LOT of options for you to work with: the guitars are quad tracked, but with lots of microphones and amp tones (Rectifier, Marshall, Engl, and more) to choose from as well as a guitar DI track. There’s a total of 6 amps PER GUITAR and 4 tracks, for a total of 24 guitar tracks!
  • These multi-tracks have reamped drums in them, which is rare to see (but awesome!)

Unboxing Monuments “I, The Creator” raw multi-tracks

Monuments “I, The Creator” raw multi-tracks [ UNBOXING ]

Eyal Levi takes you on a guided tour in Pro Tools of the raw session for this song off the second Monuments album, originally mixed by John Browne.

This session is a textbook example of what a difference truly great players and performances make: John Browne and Olly Steele are absolute savages on guitar and quad track almost everything, this is a MONSTER drummer who hits ridiculously hard, and vocalist Chris Baretto is very simply one of the best in all of progressive metal.
