This Month on NAIL THE MIX:
Rising Modern Prog Metal Producer Taylor Larson Teaches his Mixing Process for Jason Richardson’s “Fragments” on January 29
Sign Up Today: Download & Mix With “Fragments” Multi-Tracks
If closing 2016 with one of Gojira‘s biggest tracks, “Toxic Garbage Island”, wasn’t a clear enough indicator for subscribers, take it from NTM creators Joey Sturgis, Joel Wanasek and Eyal Levi themselves – 2017 is gearing up to be a standout year for NAIL THE MIX.
January’s NTM features buzzworthy producer and From First To Last guitarist Taylor Larson – who has worked with the likes of Periphery, I See Stars, Memphis May Fire, Veil of Maya, Darkest Hour, Sky Eats Airplane, Capture The Crown,Life On Repeat and others – teaching a livestreaming class offering a complete walkthrough of how he mixed guitar shredder Jason Richardson‘s (formerly of All Shall Perish, Born of Osiris and Chelsea Grin) massive new song “Fragments”. Download the multi-tracks today, then join Taylor Larson for the live stream on January 29.
Larson gives an idea of what to expect from his NTM class: “I’m really excited to do NAIL THE MIX. Jason Richardson‘s record was a really tough one, so I feel like there is a lot to be learned there. I’m going to go through what I had, and explain to you my mindset behind it. Also, since I’ve progressed between when I mixed this and now, I’ll probably try a couple of new things! I’m a little scared to re-open the session, but it’s going to be fun!”
“Fragments” can be found on Jason Richardson‘s latest album, I, released last summer. Supporting Richardson’s razor sharp performance and Larson’s booming production on the track is Lukas Magyar of Veil of Maya, Mark Holcomb of Periphery and Luke Holland (formerly of The Word Alive) – solidifying the track as one of the biggest modern progressive metal anthems of the past year.
Larson gives some insight into his mixing process on “Fragments”: “What’s unique about Jason’s mix is that it’s literally the most demanding style of music to mix. Literally the hardest thing to do. I also didn’t want to keep things simple. I wanted to challenge myself. Especially on guitars. From blending three different guitar tones per side, and using all different gear (which I’ll explain in the stream) to mixing tons of layers programming, and guitar parts. To be able to find the space to accomplish what I wanted was an insane task.”
NAIL THE MIX‘s Eyal Levi states,“Great source tones are a huge part of nailing an amazing sounding mix, and you’re not going to get source tones much better than these Jason Richardson tracks. Jason, and the rest of the song’s lineup – Mark Holcomb, Luke Holland, and Lukas Magryar -are as good as it gets from the younger generation of metal musicians. These are the Yngwies and Gene Hoglans of the below-30 crowd. Add Taylor Larson leading the way on the mix and you have the bar set about as high as it can go. If you’re looking to up your metal production and mixing game, this one is a no brainer.”

Detroit’s Dark Music Machine Hate Unbound To Release Album In February
Detroit’s dark music machine Hate Unbound to release album in February!

Somewhere in the dark depths of death and thrash metal, lies the inspiration for Hate Unbound’s new album Plague. Those influences remained constant throughout Hate Unbound’s writing and arranging process which is a collaborative effort between all members of the band.
Plague was recorded, mixed and mastered during the spring and summer of 2016 at Elaire Studios which is located in the shadow of the decaying city of Detroit, Michigan.
Hate Unbound’s Plague is a tribute to, as well as a continuation of, all things heavy. And a salute to all headbangers everywhere. Plague is released February 17th 2017 via Inverse Records.
The band just released a track called “Baptized in Lies” on their Bandcamp account and it can be listened to here: https://hateunbound.bandcamp.com/track/baptised-in-lies
