The “key spikes” technique [w/ Machine + Lamb Of God]

Want ULTIMATE control?? Try this!

The legendary Machine (Lamb Of God, Clutch, Suicide Silence, Fall Out Boy) shows his unique technique of using MIDI “key spikes” to trigger gates, compressors, samples and all kinds of other things in a mix for ultimate control over everything (without relying on the dynamics of the actual sounds themselves)– this one is a GAMECHANGER!

How to use MIDI “key spikes” to trigger gates, compressors, samples & more! w/ Machine the producer

Machine shows his unique technique of using MIDI “key spikes” to trigger gates, compressors, samples and all kinds of other things in a mix for ultimate control over everything (without relying on the dynamics of the actual sounds themselves).

He starts by creating a phase-accurate MIDI notes for EVERY drum hit in the session, then prints that to audio and uses the audio as the input to the various plugins. He demonstrates the key spikes technique using Logic Pro X, but the same general approach should work in any DAW.

Behind the scenes of Nail The Mix w/ Machine!

Mud, fire, loud noises… yup, we’re in Texas!

August 2018’s Nail The Mix took us to Austin, Texas where we streamed Machine mixing “Redneck” by Lamb Of God. We got stuck in the mud, we played with fire, we geeked out over Machine’s amazing studio and wizard-level recording techniques, and of course answered some of your questions!

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
