  1. Wooohoo Drumforge on the line!! just when I was thinking on buy it, well…I can’t even hit a place in any pool since I goined in april but it’s still amazing to work with great and well produced tracks, compete with such a great mixers over the globe…and it’s awesome to hit the deadline!

  2. There are some gaps in the numbering of the files (15-20, 33-40, 54-60). Were those tracks all aux and/or multiple takes consolidated and that’s why they’re missing from the download?

    1. Definitely 🙂

  3. Track 51 seems to be missing?

    1. i’ve seen that too track 51 seem missed

    2. It’s not missing, it just wasn’t included

  4. Just joined, great track and learn’t a lot just looking at the raw mix. Looking forward to this and hearing everyone else’s approach.

        Been having the same issue. I’ve submitted to support twice.. Sorry. Not trying to blast at all. Just hoping for some help!

        1. Log out and log back in

  6. Anyone else having trouble downloading the files? Keeps stopping about halfway through with network error..

    1. Sometimes, the best way to get the downloads are to wait for the off-peak hours (early morning / late night) on the EST timezone. Additionally, there should be more mirrors now 🙂

  7. This track mixes it self! Love it!

  8. I also can’t access the session right now, for the third month in a row.

    1. If you can’t access the session you need to speak to support – [email protected]

      1. Thanks Eyal! Sorry if I came off kind of harsh. You rock!

        1. Did you get the help you needed?

          1. Yes I did. Everything is good to go.

  9. Hooooly crap. This is easily my best mix so far. I also took some advice from Wanaseks speed mixing approach, I am so far at 2 hours and just about to finish the mix and submit!

  10. just signed up again but can’t find the multitracks for this month??

  11. This is so legit! thank you guys for providing this for us!

  12. Taking my time with this one! These tracks are so tight and “Look at yourself” absolutely kills, very happy to be able to finally be here with everyone! Happy mixing!

  13. still no session for this month. help please guys. i’ve contacted support several times but still no joy. thanks. the eq mastery course was ace though

    1. Sos.gtr O'Shaughnessy

  14. hey do you think we’ll ever see some tracks from some of the old school metal bands. ‘a song off the new metallica record would be awesome

    1. Ill second that 🙂

  15. this months song is awesome though. having lot’s of fun with it even though i’m fairly new to mixing. the fast track vault has been a major eye opener. thanks guys. the enhanced subscription is the best money i’ve spent all year

  16. WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MONUMENTS GONNA BE SAWEET!

  17. Just signed up for Nail the Mix. Great stuff! However, do I purchase every previous session files? Like the periphery/architects ones?
    Thanks!

    1. If you want previous sessions you need to purchase them

  18. Will there be a replay of the QnA? I am new to this.

    1. Dimitris Bourgiotis

      I suppose yes, probably it will be uploaded to youtube. I can’t wait because I missed it too.

      1. It’s already uploaded here.

  19. Do we have to meet specific requirements regarding the master mix we need to send? LUFS for instance…

    1. Nope. Just send in something you’re proud of.

  20. Just paid for this and I won’t let me click download files

  21. Hey all. So, it will not let me click on any link to download the files but I can click the other links. Any thoughts as to why this may be happening? Thanks in advance.

    1. I believe I got them going! Will update later.

  22. Trying to download, but it’s not letting me click on the download option

  23. Can you guys reply to your support tickets please? have been trying to contact you since the 2nd of July but just keep getting replies saying someone will address my ticket in 24-48hrs.

  24. Przemyslaw Jablonski

    Hey, I just subscribed back to NTM! Where can I find your general and ‘mix critic’ Facebook group? I remember I was moved away from those groups when I cancelled subscription, but I can’t find them now. Could anyone share link? Thanks!

      1. Przemyslaw Jablonski

        Oh yeah, that’s the one, thank you!

  25. Just signed up. I was wondering where I shall upload my mix for Flag the beast?

    1. I’m sorry this took long to respond to but on the page itself there is submission rules if you look, it involves e-mailing [email protected] with a MP3 and a specific subject title.

  26. I am unable to download this month’s zip, the download keeps freezing at random (different) places every time I try, never making it past halfway. I’m on OSX 10.11.6, Safari 10.1.2 – anyone else having an issue or is there something else I can try? Thanks!

    1. I managed to work it out by repeatedly pausing and resuming the download.

  27. I’m new here. Can’t seem to find any instructions on how to submit the mix. Does it need to be posted to the facebook group? If so I’m still waited to be approved to join.

    1. Never mind. I found the instructions. Whoops. Embarrassing

    2. Hello Thomas,

      On every post page like the one you have commented on there is a section about submitting your mix. The idea is to send a .mp3 over to [email protected] with a specific subject title (usually the band name) in the subject. Please refer to each section month by month for specific rules on submitting.

  28. I’m sure this won’t be an issue to many people, but it was for me and the way I organize, so I thought I’d share anyways. It’s probably also pretty late in the game to share this, but I just signed up yesterday.

    The description says that the song is in 4/4, but it sounds to me that the breakdown ends with one measure of 2/4 and switches back to 4/4. I was organizing my song sections with markers (using Logic Pro X) and found that after the breakdown, my markers weren’t lining up with the beginnings and endings of measures. I listened back and found that at the end of the breakdown. It wouldn’t surprise me if this was intentional because Josh Travis has been known for making some pretty mathy shit in the past.

    Again, probably not important to most and pretty late in the game, but I thought I’d throw that out there.

  29. Is there a place to post mixes past deadline? Not looking to take part in the polls obv but would love some critiques

  30. Are there midi drums in this or recorded??

    1. The drummer was not available to record the drums so they opted to program them out!

  31. Not sure if I missed it but did they mention what samples they used for cymbals?
