Wow, I really like the new layout and organizing of the new URM page 🙂 Good work!
this my be silly question but i’m logged into the urm page but i cant login to the actual nail the mix site. i’m confused as i signed up to mix a metal track? i wasa a bit disappointed with the track for this month. also i paid $24.99 i thought it was $19.99 a month?
I signed up yesterday and I’ve had the same questions…
Read my response to Ryan Bailey.
Ryan,
Let me address you point by point.
1 – Redownload the Rodney Atkins track. There were some garbage files in there that got it. We reuploaded a corrected version.
2 – There is a metal track for download. It’s by Cognizance and it’s called “Aeon Of Creation” and it features Alex Rudinger on drums.
3 – We raised our prices on April 1. You can read about it here – https://urm.academy/beta-no-longer/
4 – I appreciate your love for metal and desire to mix a metal track, and most of what we post is metal, but we are not here to just teach you how to mix one genre, we’re here to teach you how to mix. The best metal mixers bring in techniques from a wide variety of genres. If you want metal, we have plenty of it in our previous months, and even included a tech death metal track for those of you who couldn’t live without it this month. However, if you want to actually become really good or even great at mixing you’ll broaden your horizons.
5 – The next 4 months are confirmed as rock and metal
6 – The site is brand new (we launched it 2 days ago), so we’re still working out a few kinks, however just look on the menu on the top right hand corner of the site.
I downloaded the stems last night and the version I have starts with guitar instead of the fiddle like in the original. Is this correct or should I redownload?
I believe that the version which was released was an edit which Billy Decker made. You are welcome to make your own edit, or just mix what’s there.
cool thanks, i appreciate the need for diversity when it comes to mixing, and music in general. i was just a bit gutted as i’ve been wanting to sign up for ages but didn’t have the spare money each month to justify it, so when i finally was able to join and after the previous few months where you’ve mixed some awesome tracks. machine head in particular caught my attention i was just a little dissapointed. nevermind though. like you said it’s all experience. thanks for replying
This month is a country song. Its not always metal, they’re teaching us to be good mixers, not to be good at mixing low tuned metal:)
Bingo
The Jess Moskaluke File is corrupt…can anyone else confirm?
I’ve downloaded the file 4 times and every time it says it’s corrupt 🙁
yes me too

has anyone else had trouble inserting the stems into their daw. their all out of time with each other. the stems aren’t in the right places. its taking me ages figuring out which parts go where
Ryan: If you’re using a mac, when you drag your stems from folder to drop in DAW window. Hold down Command before you drop. Works for me. Hope this helps!
Re-download Rodney Atkins and re-import into your DAW should all work now.
the first 3 links are broken, i’m getting error messages all the time
It is fixed now try again
When are we gonna get some djent on here?
Which bands do you mean? We’ve done a good job of getting user requested bands on here before, like Periphery.
I just joined NTM yesterday, I heard Periphery and Gojira came on but there were no videos when I got on here? Not opposed to other genres, just thought there would be content on that genre when I signed up.
I saw a Meshugga video on the URM channel on YouTube, that would be a good one!
You are correct. What’s happening is that this site is literally 3 days old and we are in the process of migrating over all the older videos. So yes, Meshuggah, Periphery, Gojira, Machine Head, Papa Roach, etc are all on their way.
Awesome. Thank you Eyal!
Sorry if it is inappropriate to thread-jack, but I’m new here. I know y’all surely can’t meet all requests, but I’d like to suggest Alter Bridge, specifically Farther Than The Sun, or really anything from Fortress. Apologies if this was the wrong place for this and thanks for taking the time to read.
Great vocalist in that band. Tremonti is great as well. I would love to have them on.
I can’t seem to download any of them, I get a weird error every time I click on a link.

Hello: I’m still unable to DL the Rodney Atkins folder. Is anyone else running into this issue? Thanks.
Fixes have been uploaded. Try again.
Thanks, Eyal.
Should be fixed now try again.
I finally joined! really excited to be trying a Country track for my first go of this!
Good luck!
I am in WAY over my head haha
Nah, you got this
Just joined and it feels as if I have finally joined something I am proud of. Was wondering if I may ask advice on some plug ins to purchase, such as ‘Bias Fx’ and the ‘Slate Digital’ bundle.
Welcome Alain. The Slate Digital bundle is a great, low cost, set of plugins to start with. If you’re new at mixing however, I suggest getting comfortable with your stock plugins.
I am fairly new as I did a four years at my local college, but unfortently they only do one year practical where I started to finally mix and learn the craft. Thank you for all your advice but is this the platform where I can ask questions about vst’s/plugins or should I wait for the live broadcast? Thank you again and amazing work!
You can ask in our group on FB, or wait till the broadcast. Up to you!
Don’t even have internet at home yet (cause I live in the boonies) but I joined NTM this month cause I’ve been really hoping you guys would do some country music. Big fan of metal but I’m currently in a country band and would love to know more about it.
Thanks for working on country. I really hope to see more of it in the future! If you guys ever get Joey Moi on here, I’ll probably cry.
Hello guys, i have a question: the Wav files of this session are 48 Khz 24 Bit. How much bad is import it into a 44Khz 24 bit session?
Why not just set your DAW to 48?
Just for Windows issues with my interface( it’s on 44, and all my sessions too, so i have to be careful because using 48 in the DAW and 44 in Windows because the sound crashes if i use them at the same time). By the way i have already set my DAW to 48. Thanks for aswer!.
As far as our mix is concerned, should our mix also reflect the musical composition choices made in the final mix or does that not matter? Cause I noticed that the intro of the final starts with violins rather than guitars so I was just wondering.
That is completely up to you
i signed up today and i want to know, how can i join to the fb group?
Search URM Private producer’s club on facebook. An admin will get you in. Message them if you aren’t in within 24 hours.
Thanks!
yo when I try to buy the meshuggah stuff I get an error. Also if I just subscribed can I not buy the Taylor Larson stuff? cuz it’s not showing up
The Taylor Larson month will be added shortly. Contact [email protected] about Meshuggah month.
tnx.
I’m new here, really looking forward to learning new stuff.
Welcome Jay 🙂
for the mix poll submission, do you need to pull up the output level to make it louder ? or just leave it -3 to -6db (quieter)?
Up to you
Did anyone else solo the pianos in the Rodney Atkins song and hear the piano player totally frapping? He is moaning load as hell and stopping even strip silence doesn’t remove his stomping on the parts where the keys play.
I just finished the Q&A – holy SMOKES is Billy Decker ever a nice dude. That might’ve been my favourite Q&A so far.
He’s great
Hello! I’m new here. First I’d like to say thank you guys for this great opprtunity to watch and have all these mixes and videos.
Please, explain what is “Mix Poll Voting”, who is voting and where can I find this voting? Thanks beforehand!
There’s a link on this page that says “Start Voting! (Click Here)” – just click it and read the explanation
Thanks, I found it. Can’t hear my mix neither in “Top 20” nor in “Secondary”, though I received e-mail “Your mix received”, are there any troubles with this or am I just a bad listener?.. 🙂
Where’s the mix poll voting ? Is it public ?
I also would like to know as I do not see it anywhere.
There’s a link on this page. It says “Start Voting! (Click Here)”
I’m wondering the same thing. Did you get an answer on this?
Same here
Hi Everybody…
I have just signed in URM Enhanced… I really chuffed, but i cannot find the links to download the tracks to download.
Maybe i got it wrong… I though that getting the URM Enhanced i would also be able to download the Nail The Mix tracks…. Am I correct?
Have a good weekend everyone…
Which tracks are you trying to download that you can’t find?
When i click on the (Click here to learn to mix with Billy Decker) it takes me to the nail the mix GET ACCESS NOW, and when click on that, it takes me to nail the mix registration….
Thanks very much for the time,
I forgot to add that i dont have any separate login for Nail The Mix…
Bu the way, i have gone through 4 or 5 courses of the Fast Track, and i am really happy. This is the info you can find nowhere but here… Eager to see and and assimilate all of them….
Thank you ever so much… It is so great…
i cant seem to download any of the required items
Which required items are you having trouble downloading?
I’m having this issue today too – I signed in to get the rest of the songs I don’t have and can’t actually click on any of the “DOWNLOAD” options, only on the Q&A and Mix Polls.
Actually I can click everything except the “DOWNLOAD” links.
Hey, if my mix wasn’t on the Top 20 or Secondary, does it mean it was too poor to be on either?
That sucks because I only felt the intro was weak on mine, but the mix came together great after the toms X(
is all participant get a chance to be on secondary poll? or just chosen one ?
Hey Eyal. Do you think theres any chance that Billy would like to share his 3 Kick and Snare Drum samples he always uses? Thanks!
Unless they are already included?
Just wanted to throw some positivity on the thread of migration frustration: Billy Decker seems like an amazing dude, and his Live Mix is probably my favourite/the most valuable to me so far since I signed up. What a champion.
Hello guys. Where are the replays of the live mix events?
At the top of the page where it says “Watch The Mix”
Hi there, I just signup to the Nail The Mix Speed Mixing Program. Am I able to access the Billy Decker ‘Nail The Mix’ as part of the program? Thanks in advance for any help.
You would need to purchase access to that month.
Accidentally bought this and I didn’t want it. It’s one click buy without a confirmation screen?
If that’s the case, please reach out to support via http://urmsupport.com/
Cannot seem to watch the live mix reply. Anyone else having an issue?
I just tried it on 2 diff browsers and it worked for me. Could you elaborate on the problem?
When I use Chrome or Safari on my cell, I get a ‘video not available’ error from YouTube. Same on my iPad. My laptop (MBP) worked (tried last night) on Chrome.
