- Dialing in a kick that cuts through the mix with clarity, punch and presence without getting crazy and overwhelming the rest of your mix is tough-- but thanks to Robin Leijon, here's how to pull it off! // Want more? Join NAIL THE MIX ► goo.gl/Pkrjcg
NAIL THE MIX is an online mixing school created by Joey Sturgis, Joel Wanasek and Eyal Levi - the guys who produced bands like TDWP, Chelsea Grin, Blessthefall, Machine Head, Monuments, Miss May I, The Black Dahlia Murder, Reflections, Born Of Osiris, Asking Alexandria and dozens more of this generation's best metal bands.
Every month, NAIL THE MIX members get exclusive access to the REAL MULTI-TRACK SESSIONS from a REAL ALBUM, and a 6-8 hour live streaming class from the producer who mixed it. These aren't bogus covers played by some nobody off of TH-cam, these are the actual sessions by bands like Gojira, Chelsea Grin, Periphery, Papa Roach, Machine Head, Neck Deep and State Champs - and NTM is the only place in the world you'll get access to them!
Been a member for 2 months now, and I like seeing new videos with new engineers. I like Robin's workflow; great video!

Very helpful, thanks!!
You also need to show us that snare, sounds so good.
I agree!
More videos by Robin will be on our channel very soon
#reapermasterrace
Reaper forever!
Blond Panda roger federer forever
Where can I get that sample??
Spot on video! I´ve been struggling to find a video solving a "gulpy" bass drum sound. The EQ example helped me a lot!
Go Robin! Great tutorial! Looking forward to the snare video! \m/
Thank you very much Dear Sir!
Hilarious that the mix is so good, but you didn't use a pop filter on your microphone you're talking to at all.
Looking forward for the snare video.
Someone's a fan of Nolly Getgood's mixflow! Great video.
YES, Nolly is the man!
Great tone man! Do you use the default avatar preset as a starting point?, i mean, with default master and mixer volumes? For some reason, the volume of my Kick drum in and kick drum out is louder than yours. Maybe MIDI velocity? Last question, where can i find your kick and snare samples? THANKS!
I noticed that your non processing snare and kick samples are processed in your drum bus and different sendings to fx and parallel comp so i don´t know how these samples sound without processing.
What kick sample are you using? Sounds great!
That Snare Sound
It's too unnatural for me.
loi22 Well to each their own my friend.
my first thought was: This is the worst snare sound I've ever heard. But that's probably a religious question :D
Thanks Hait! Make sure to check out the Snare video that got released recently!
Am I the only person that thinks 90% of snares I hear in modern metal are overprocessed with too much reverb? It seems like ALL of them sound like that now.
Can you explain the multi band a bit better, 1/2 second attack? Does it only work in the double kick passages?
Yes it's set to mostly work on the double kick parts to mainly focus on the low end build up happening!
I think Nameless Ghoul Earth from Ghost has one the best sounding kicks in metal right now.
thanks for great tutorials Robin! just one question - when you start mixing the invidual tracks (kick in, kick out, snare, ...) do you have set up paralell comp tracks and processing on busses? because even when you show us how they sound unprocessed, they are still going throung processed paralell comp tracks and busses, right?
Hey dude! Thank you.
Yes that is true, I always set up bus processing/paralell compressions before and then tweak them during the mixstage.
This song was mixed before doing this series, so there's things I didn't think off but will be improved with the next series that I think will be really liked!
Thanks for watchin'!
Kick drum sounds like Naughty seal perfect drum.
You're a talented mixer man, great job!
uuh that snare is cool
Some Reaper on NTM finally !!! Great Video ! And Robin , maybe you could make some videos about pre production , editing in Reaper ? We all have the NTM to learn how to mix , but I always struggle with bad sources during the recording / editing stage . So you know , editing guitars , tuning bass with melodyne , those kind of things...
Join URM Enhanced and you'll have access to our Fast Track library which has super extensive classes on stuff like gain staging, mix prep, compression, etc - and we add new ones all the time. The techniques apply to any DAW.
I am enhanced ... there is no fast track about editing or recording yet ...
Hey Yan! There'll definatly be something for you in future videos!
link music full ???
I do not know if you are still active on this channel or not. I was looking on your page and couldn't find, but are there any video's you have explaining why you put things in the folders/sub groups you do in Reaper?
I see people do it but I don't understand why, or when you should or shouldn't do it.
Any advice would be appreciated.
It gives you more control and lessens the amount of processing power needed if you want fx on multiple tracks , thats how it helps me anyway
My boy fuckin with reaper. Hell ya
So it looks like Robin is the guy to do Reaper mix rescues???
Where can we get "The Lion" sample?
It'll be available soon!
Is it available now?
How about now?
Now?
@@robinleijon how about now?
Awesome! Thank you!
Anyone know the samples he's using?
SD2 - Avatar Kit along with The Lion which is personal sample!
What song is that????? And by who?
E.G.O By Bill Hudson!
what theme are you using in reaper?
isn't it cubase?
SeMi PRo no
Great video :)
Thank you
Br mano?
WHY THE SAMPLES :c
We need live drums.
Why is everything stereo tracks with no visible editing? Are these already bounced down and processed prior to to tutorial? Is there any benefit in having your tracks stereo vs mono if you're mixing in stereo? Is there any benefit in a bounced track? Does this question make sense?
Hey Ian!
These were tracks I was provided with from my Client, I didn't bounce these or anything besides adding the extra ''The Lion'' sample! And in Reaper atleast it doesn't matter if the signal is Mono/Stereo. It will still sound the same!
I hope that answeared your question! :D
who made the video? i wanna subscribe to him :)
MagneticWhistler Robin Leijon
Stay tuned for more videos by Robin
metal the new techno shit....
gastonjabaly how so?
Marc its all fake digital sound
gastonjabaly man - i wish i had death metal drummer in life - like Gene Hogland etc. but i dont. Toontrack saved me from disappointment and now i have no excuse but to work work work :)
But it’s all samples... Was keen to see how you deal with real drums. Sigh. Thanks anyway?
The kick sounds a bit phasy, but otherwise great tutorial!
Make one without samples for those of us not producing EDM.
Yup ! Not gonna watch 24 minutes of someone tweaking knobs over a sample...
Problem is that every mic'd kick will sound different and act different to your editing. This example here is something everyone with the sample can reproduce.
David Velez Samples are are integral part of making competitive and modern metal mixes. Nothing abnormal about it.
He's just using samples, not blending them with a real kick drum.
It's pretty rare nowadays that som serious rock or metal production use only samples.
Yes, but you'll agree it's pretty far from EQing and compressing a real kick drum recorded in a real drumkit, in a real room, with bleed, and the inconsistencies of a drummer.
simply disgusting with this techno-programmed drumming...
Then go record your own drums lmao
IMO!
replace a snare with kick and nothing changes.. goshhh, that`s another one total lack of drums itself
I can't stand those clicky metal kick drums. I want my kick to have BALLS. Great mixing obviously, just not my taste. That snare, however, sounds amazing.
Yes, every mix is different! And everyone has right to their own opinion!
Thank you very much :D
Killer, more Robin please!
