YUUUUUUUUUUS!!!
Never heard of this band before! Looking forward to learning a ton this session!
DAMN THIS IS CATCHY vocals remind me of Academy Is, this is gonna be a fun one!
Uggghhhh I LOVE The Academy Is! If we could mix something off “Almost Here” I’d literally die of happiness. The drums on that album hit so hard!
I love The Academy Is! Use to be a guilty pleasure of mine before I stopped caring what other people thought haha!
stoked
Nice song! Fresh! Cool!
My favourite band for years! I’m so pumped to work on this!!!
I like this, it has a Lemonheads feel that I dig. I think I’ll put my hat in the ring with this one.
I love this band! Best band we’ve done since I’ve joined over a year ago! We need more like this!
Love these guys! This literally made my day and Paul is a genius. So stoked!
Hot damn this song is good!
I’d never heard it before I started this mix, and it’s been stuck in my head ever since. Such a good song!
Wait, how did you start mixing it?
I can’t see the session anywhere.
Hey Christian, the download links are right at the top of this page, are you not seeing them?
Brad. I wrote the comment when the link was not available yet.
I CANT FIND THEM AS WELL 🙁
One of my all time favourite bands, been listening to the guys since day 1. This is hands down already my favourite month here on NTM. Thank you guys!!!
Has something changed? Haven’t used this since the Meshuggah/Decapitated month. Where are the stems?
Hello Jack,
If for some reason your account is missing content that you should have, please go ahead and e-mail us at support over at urmsupport.com and we will have one of our Helpdesk technicians take a look at it.
This is my favorite one so far.
kinda reminds me of the 90’s music like Gin Blossoms, Third Eye Blind, Dishwalla etc.
The Dangerous Summer has been one of my favorite bands for almost a decade and i just knew at some point we’d get our hands on one of their songs! This speaks true to Paul Levitt as well, I’ve admired his work for years and can’t wait to see how he made this classic song such a hit! Love having more emo/rock music on NTM! If only BEAU BURCHELL WOULD MIX MOOSE BLOOD!!! <3<3
Dude… YES!!! <3
I second this! Im seeing moose blood tonight in Denver
OMG, I’ve just finished and sent the mix ignoring the “emo” thing, I thought it was Punk Rock 😀
This is super useful for me as my bands sound is very similar to TDS/Moose Blood/emo revival, so stoked to have access to something like this to learn from!
how have i not heared of this band before ? good stuff here! gonna be a fun mixing month !
should i submit my mix with the maximizer on or off any recommendation ?
Try to submit a mix that is presentable to the band if you were doing a test mix.
My personal opinion is that nowadays mastering has become part of the mixing process, expecially considering that 90% of the records have no extra budget for fancy analog mastering studios, so it will happen more often than not that the band will ask for a finished product altogether.
That makes the things harder, not easier, because you have to go through a series of new things that are outside “old school mixing”.
That said, mastering is a particular process that goes way beyong limiting the mix, so it’s a double edged sword… it could fuck up a good mix, so if you don’t feel confident doing it, just level the peaks without pushing it too much.
Expert ears like the guys on URM can tell if a mix is present without mastering, and won’t evaluate it just on its loudness.
I can notice that on the polls, the top 20 includes good unmastered mixes, so you can be confident they won’t discriminate 🙂
I’m a newer member and cant get access to the download page. FAQ says I should be good to go. Any Ideas/

Cool song!
Im new to nail the mix and I was wondering if theres a way to post your mixes for some feedback.
Yes! We have a Facebook group that’s specifically for that purpose. https://www.facebook.com/groups/urmppcoctagon/
Hi, I already sent a mix couple days ago,
but I listened to Joel and Paul advice, edited my mix a little bit more,
Can I send an email again with this last mp3 mix?
Hi Drazen,
Just reply to the confirmation e-mail with your new mix!
There is a lead at the VERY end of this song after the clean guitar in the original. Is this missing on purpose or did I somehow delete it? I reimported all the tracks and don’t see it.
Hi Rich,
If you believe something is missing, please try re-downloading the stems. If it’s still missing for some reason, please reach out to our support team over at http://urmsupport.com/ so we can get you all squared away properly!
Just copy over the lead for chorus two and you’ll be good
This really is a fun song to mix!
this song grew on me. and i just did get it done in time.
This song seems to be mixed twice.
On Spotify there is the 2009 Reach For The Sun Album and a 2017 If You Could Only Keep Me Alive. The 2017 sounds kinda not so good like the 2009 version does.
If You Could Only album came first and it wasn’t from 2017
Did anyone figure out what happened to the missing lead guitar in the outro? It’s not the same guitar part as the chorus lead so copying it over isn’t an ideal fix.
Hi, was trying to see the mix, youtube /hopeless blocked the content in my country. What now?
