If you've ever wondered how Gojira create their iconic sound, or how bands like Lamb of God and Meshuggah achieve their crushing mixes, then Nail the Mix offers a unique opportunity.
You can then watch the producer recreate the finished mix from scratch. As you can work alongside the producer throughout the video, it's about as close as you can get to sitting next to some of the biggest names in rock and metal production.
Learn From the World's Biggest Metal Producers
Every month, Nail the Mix releases new sessions featuring a professionally recorded song.
Members are given the chance to download every stem before joining a stream where the producer explains their decisions regarding EQ, compression, drum processing, guitar tone shaping and vocal production. Master bus processing and overall mixing philosophy are also covered.

Some of the biggest sessions currently available include:

Some of the mixes need to be paid for separately to your subscription, but a clear overview is given when you create an account of what’s free, and what’s extra.
Working with commercial sessions like these shows you how professional recordings are balanced, allowing you to apply the same methodology to your own music. Those who sign up to Nail the Mix also gain access to more than 100 additional guest mixers, covering everything from death metal and metalcore to progressive metal, modern rock and hardcore.
An Extensive Tutorial Library
Those who choose the extensive tutorial library also receive over 50 hours of education, covering recording drums, guitars, mastering, and plugin walkthroughs.
If you're just starting out with mixing and mastering, Buster Odeholm's Recording For Complete Beginners is included.

Essentially, it's a great way to bridge the gap between working with multitrack sessions and producing complete songs from scratch.
Included Plugins and Extra Resources
