“If You Can’t Hang” is one of Sleeping With Sirens’ most iconic tracks, anchoring their breakthrough 2011 album *Let’s Cheers to This*. Known for its urgent vocal hooks, explosive transitions, and hybrid of melodic and aggressive dynamics, this song helped define the modern post-hardcore sound and cemented the band’s signature blend of emo-rooted intensity and studio-tight production. It’s a definitive example of the genre at its peak—and now you have full access to the multitracks.
Mixed by Kris Crummett, whose credits include Issues, Dance Gavin Dance, A Lot Like Birds, and more, this session opens up a masterclass in high-density production. With vocals tracked at Interlace Audio and mixed to deliver maximum clarity without sacrificing impact, Kris’s handling of Kellin Quinn’s layered lead vocals, harmonies, and fry screams showcases his skill in vocal automation, saturation control, and EQ sculpting. The guitars are wide but controlled, with detailed distortion placement that creates separation in an otherwise crowded stereo field. rhythmic punch comes from clinically tight drum editing paired with musical ambient choices shaped to keep aggression front and center without becoming brittle.
Tilian’s “Dose” is a masterclass in modern pop-rock production: glassy clean on top, emotionally layered underneath, and full of surgical intricacies hidden inside deceptively catchy hooks. Co-produced and mixed by Kris Crummett, this stand-out track from Tilian’s *Factory Reset* album pushes the limits of expressive vocal engineering and wide-dynamic arrangement in a genre that demands both polish and authenticity.
Technically, this session is a deep-dive opportunity for advanced mixers to study layered compression chains, precision automation, and the balance between vocal clarity and instrumentation width. You’ll confront tight edits, dynamic transitions from sparse synth verses to dense choruses, and a vocal-forward mix that never collapses under its own weight. If you’ve been wanting to dissect polished vocal production in a high-motion context, this is your shot.
This session lets you dig into how to manage complex arrangements with emotion-forward vocal production and raw, energetic performances. Perfect for mixers looking to sharpen their ability to work with stacked vocals, hyper-edited drums, or dense midrange guitars without losing front-to-back mix depth.
