Wish you the best body, we all love dead mow cinco deadmau5 is a LEGEND! each track of him get in your deep feelings and make u feel good! DEADMAU5 is power ;)

[@Boogachomper]

Dude, people like you are a rare and awesome species, I wish more people thought like you

[@LudlowsMusic]

crazy to see his setup then and now

[@dragonixas]

I saw this live yesterday and I wanted to listen to this song again. Thanks for the upload man!

[@geneeshays]

For the people asking what DAW he uses, he hardly uses FL any more (if at all). He mostly uses Ableton Live 9 Suite, and Cubase (mostly for mixdown)

[@TheOne-ec9ku]

He uses abacus 2000

[@inspir.edmusic]

Cubase in this video.

[@OfoeNelson]

I can watch these videos all-day.

[@mattjones4946]

Bruh i see you everywhere i go lol

[@OfoeNelson]

Where and where have you been :-))

[@AlamdaABalqhin]

ikr me too

[@fountane]

If you listen to the finished version, he switched around the high synth and the low synth. The low synth is slow, and the high synth is a little different sounding and faster as opposed to this version.

[@SleepTown123]

thanks for posting these production vids, it's awesome seeing someone do music like I do night after night :) good shit man! thanks for the inspiration!

[@damiengreen28]

why is anyone concerned what DAW he is using? Buying a DAW wont buy you any talent. He could be using a 4 track porta studio for all it matters...

[@feelda303]

True

[@josephhovsepian1356]

I heard he designed and created his own DAW

[@Zxios]

Joseph Hovsepian FL Studio.

[@theloopmasta]

yeah his music is pretty basic and simplistic (boring) he may use that portastudio

[@MrGi66y]

I'm Zxios He only uses FL Studio for the first stage of writing the musical ideas and such, the rest is all Ableton

[@1723SAMUEL]

Thank you for sharing *

[@M1key556]

Did anyone else notice the hole in the floor in the background?

[@PerlasNegrasXII]

It leads to China by free-falling.

[@armanrozika]

Holy shit man, I just scrolled down to see if someone seen that too. I wonder wtf is that. At first, i tought it was a cable falling from the table, but it didn't move so it's not cable. So then what the heck is that

[@smileyface3107]

He accidentally pick axed the floor with his diamond one equipped.

[@Poecstasy]

He keeps midgets who plug his cables upon request down in the hole

[@PH03NXHDFYeah]

That's how he routes his cables around his room

[@billybussey]

god thats good stuff his taste is amazing

[@hmuhammad0746]

I remember when he was making Fn Pig in one of his streams. Oh, and I heard him making a Rap song that had the chords (I think) to Get in the Cart, Pig.

[@knarly3013]

great track, would love to hear it live!

[@manuelsqndoval3741]

my respect s for this man I admire him more then a presiden or a smart Harvard punk ,why be cuz his art trespass thru your body and make you feel wonderful so gracias saludos de baja c.viva mexico pinchis☺🇮🇹🐒🐣

[@victoria653]

ok

[@ЛазарьВолков-т3е]

Genius at work!

[@bobbobjj9793]

Compression and side chain have to do with the sound while building a track. Hes saying dont run all your sounds through one side chain or compression.

[@phaedruslykos3249]

and don't ruin the whole process by putting a brickwall limiter on the end. (:

[@FroztiProductions]

There's nothing wrong with using a limiter as long as it's barely doing anything. otherwise it will be squashing things hard and causing distortion.

[@nxlifeenterprises9150]

NOT A GOOD IDEA TO RUN THEM ALL INTO ONE CHANNEL..

[@amparomusic]

Thank you :) I too came from playing drums for 10-11 years and since living in an apartment all I could do is produce. And i Love it!

[@JTweedy_]

I've been playing drums for 4 years and making electronic music for 2 years and I can tell you from experience that it doesn't just take pointing and clicking to produce great music like deadmau5 does it takes a more in depth understanding of the music and it also takes a different skill set entirely.

[@cchris99ful]

NICE WORK !!!!!!

[@timaeus22222]

You can't even see his computer screen. >_>

[@timaeus22222]

Well, it's not like I actually needed to see the screen, but you know, I thought this was going to be like a livestream or something, so... yeah. Either way, producing dance music is mainly synthesis experimentation, transient shaping, and drum sequencing. If you can do that, you're well on your way.

[@CraigHarrisMusic]

***** There have been a couple of streams in which he has shared his screen with us, its just a case of looking for them, if that's what you want, of course

[@timaeus22222]

Nah, I was just saying how I thought it could have been odd that we're just looking at his face and the back of his computer screen the whole time.

[@RyanFromUltrasound]

Check out Savant's video on future music. You'll learn a lot more from that. ;D

[@timaeus22222]

I already saw it, lol.

[@thugg4lif]

Love this live stream, doing work!

[@TheLoudHawkMusic]

That beginning lol... bashing newbs away from the board. I had lulz

[@JohanBrodd]

True that. But with 20+ years experience that's a perc that comes with the game.

[@benashbmx]

good on you, well said

[@dOmak09]

HE HAS TO START STREAMING WHAT HES DOING ON HIS SCREEEENNN!!!!!

[@darrenhirst9900]

Dude, he's a guy 👀

[@wolfmannoon]

I love to see a master at work.

[@justmenate]

Great advice in teh beinging

[@psychoticgnome]

basic stuff

[@M1key556]

Yet i still understand, none of it

[@KalebWheatley]

I just learned how to sidechain and I don't know how to sidechain a snare to the same lead. I used in the kick.. Using fl 11

[@TheASFBacca]

The Official Kromatix why would you sidechain snares? Thats just gonna take away the attack of the snare. You should things such as your bass so the kick doesnt ruin it.

[@ifilikehashilikespam]

Remember watching this live, aah good times :)

[@KalebWheatley]

Is there a website I can go to to see his current live streams? I actually want to see him live

[@Tapepusher]

live.deadmau5.com

[@xXxTHEBEATMAKERxXx]

Joel man you always inspire me to make electric music...where are you?

[@erkicaplatz7212]

I removed the weights from my washing machine and it sounds almost the same. I need a sidechain to stop it moving into the hall.

[@dmitryankvab4836]

2023 still remember this. School days deadmau5 legend

I love Afrojack buy I have to admit that his music is pretty simple compared to deadmau5's

[@Shizomis]

the most amazing song ever preformed live at Ultra

[@kubaTKN]

22:31 to all wondering what kind of DAW is he using rite now.

[@CraigHarrisMusic]

He's not using Ableton, that's the point of the comment, he wants to be in Ableton, he's using Cubase here

[@peterhoffman5616]

***** i though he always used ableton?

[@CraigHarrisMusic]

Nah, he started off on Cubase, he's used FL studio before, Nuendo before, he uses Bitwig and Live now

[@TheMetea11]

***** I think he toyed around with bitwig since it was fresh meat, but i think he's stick to Live anyway

[@kurtkurtsen1127]

15:20 He sort of says that he is using cubase

[@TAPOUTGRIM1212]

yeah dont smoke we need u alive and skrilex

[@dmitriysmetanin8424]

40 минут болтания головой перед монитором. Он бы еще свой сценический мышиный шлем одел, чтобы мы гадали "кто это и что он делает"

[@mistaencore732]

dope, he is in the zone. NICE GROOVE.

[@5iveStarGames]

Anyone know what program he uses? It was probably made by god.

[@cypressbalto1750]

Apparently he normally uses ableton.

[@thecaffineman]

Cubase

[@brymlol1]

ableton or fl studio

[@baltimorefreeman9088]

Ableton Live 9 Suite

[@sykotik_skrub2623]

he uses various DAWs's.. all of the above

[@bitsequence]

I love the sub bass sidechained like in the "Paco di Bango" Remix! that is soo good! woomboom woomboom wooomboom woooooooom Crazy shit!

[@MackleNGAnimations]

sadly i have no idea what he's saying hahahaha

[@Spaethon]

That's okay...it's the music that really matters

[@acdcstein]

Ableton ftw

[@jonathancyr6079]

Those are "some chords" there just be lucky that "my pet coelacanth" cant get in those like he did to my fax machine when i was "faxing Berlin" but then after some "ghosts n stuff" and "moar ghosts n stuff" i realized that i was on "channel 42" and said "hi friend" to all my friends.

[@officialluckyturn]

Nailed it :D

[@Girl5witGunz]

"sometimes things get complicated"

[@Spaethon]

deadmau5 really needs to have his fans recommend track names to him.

[@nxlifeenterprises9150]

LMFAO !!!! HE DECODED THE SECRET MSG DEADMAU5 HAS BEEN TRYING TO TELL US . !!

[@nxlifeenterprises9150]

@@Girl5witGunz LOL

[@12CielPhantomhive14]

This shit was awesome

[@TeknaTronik]

hmmm, so you do not see what hes doing? all this is some dude sitting bopping his head? lol put the cam on the screen...

[@FracD0isawesome]

"It would be too easy to just copy synth patches, drum samples, midi information, etc. therefore making it easy for everyone to become the next deadmau5. There's a reason everyone aren't world class producers. From what I understand, secrecy is a big part of producing dance music unfortunately.." - *****, 2014.

[@knowthycell]

+( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) not quite mate. You can see the screen on twitch

[@bananapower2259]

i love the kick man

[@richard21solava]

This version sounds pretty awesome 🤩

[@FaintingSheepPro]

Musicians like you make me proud.

[@Havaxmedia]

A true inspiration!

[@nickylem3]

I know a really good program you can use , I use it sometimes I downloaded it out of curiosity , but its fun as hell !

[@williambeastly]

I hear him talk about his music and i notice its almost like a science, its amazing.

[@88res]

I wish someone would compile all of deadmau5's ustream production tips and put them all together in one epic video.

[@urielseptim9860]

lmao racking your whole set to 1 return rack sidechain reminds me of the days i used to stack 10 kicks right on top of eachother and thought it sounded sick

[@corygilbert5666]

I admire anyone who tries to be unique, Joel here is a prime example. I'll listen to anything he makes. Thanx for the beats, I look forward to whatever you produce next.

[@derrickforeal]

One of the best if not ny oersonal favorite it hist is near perfection

[@mitkoyignatiew286]

Man's so addicted to the work^^) probably lots of producers look the same way at that moment)) and where's Mr. Meowingtons?))

[@ALYXDyLan]

i liked the album version :)

[@ckpearl9]

I already learned something in the first minute

[@chvideo12]

yeah actually my older brother is a trance dj/producer and i am a guitarist (djent/progressive metal) and i watch him make music man it's really takes time to come up with good electronic music

[@NR92CP]

I want more mau5 tech tips like he does here!

[@realSethMeyers]

OMG I just can't wait to hear your first track! When's it coming out?

[@DarlingDownBand]

We're looking for someone to remix a few of our tracks in a similar fashion - if you are interested please contact us and we'll get you the tracks!!!

[@obiwan177]

That bass line is just in triplets, that and the single lead note in triplets against the kick gives it the swinging feel.

[@SekkMuddle]

Fuck.... I didn't know he streamed today!! I didn't even know his studio was done being built!! Thanks for uploading dude :D

[@ravenmasso]

deadmau5 is awesome no matter what he makes haters gonna hate

[@kinglypoodle6113]

I would love to be his neighbour! And if anybody has a link to a deadmau5 mask, can the post it here?

[@CRAIGTRIALS99]

It's just his personality, he is the most laid back producer I know

[@Drum4evr22]

superliminal

[@Tis4Tony]

Thanks for the info! helped a lot!

[@naruto0o0o0o0]

thanks so much!!

[@bluntsword15]

Nice to see how the pro's set up their songs.

[@oksanamusicfan7947]

deadmau5 is the top of tops.... The' god of music....the future of universe....whoever don't get it is proly deaf .......the loops.....patterns ....the sound......awe.....to live every moment for............the most tasteful music i ever heard....and the concerts are most incredible thing you ever see in your life..........music of soul.....music of art....music of life!!!!!!

[@fountane]

Yeah, I read that my favourite guys used Ableton to produce so I decided to go with it. I don't think i'll ever switch to a different one just cause i'll be so used to Ableton.

[@MazeSound]

Really?did not know that! thanks for the information man :)

[@bobenshibobsled]

Thank you! It's not about the DAW, it's about the plug-ins and the person using them.

[@danvanhalen434]

*uhggg* Its like, how do you get over that wall when you've got a sick ass 16/32 bar loop... then make it awesome... Deadmau5 is teh master of it..

[@fountane]

I've played guitar for 9 years and drums for 7, and i've started making electronic music. It's soo hard to make sound good and clean, and high quality. And the program takes forever to learn.

[@c1audio]

this has been my homepage since the vid was put up...

[@EdwinOcasioPCP]

Maybe I'm going to get a little hate here, but that is my new favorite song. I dont get tired of listening!

[@TheTodesweib]

You are a perfect human!Even you like guitar and normal instruments didnt makes you hate electronic music!thx for restoring faith in humanity.

[@Tapepusher]

Brilliant advice 0:07

[@Itachi5050]

Let him smoke, I want him to be in a good mood when he creates his shit

[@JKuch]

00:09 - 01:09 best sidechain compression advice, no matter what DAW.

[@oscarleon5788]

this guy is a genius true

[@ThierryTheuns]

I need to know what Setup he has these sound coming from because it sounds rad

[@ObliviouslyAware]

I am just starting to attempt to make music for the 1st time in my life, my experience with these programs is very limited. On a level of 1 - 10 how much effort will it take to understand the terminology/equipment fine within a year or so?

[@Pix3lPix3l]

Waves Reverb, Ableton's Reverb, and he has used free reverb plug ins before

[@musicislifeplayitwel]

I'm kinda bummed he took out that higher wobble in the final song, I like it a lot ._.

[@BorderHopper408]

Thanks so true.... didn't think bout it that way

[@wireoneunplugged]

I'm glad superliminal didn't totally end up like this

[@TheKoniszewski]

really? i thought it would've been great. the flow is really nice.

[@ddiazdd27]

Nathan Koniszewski Yeah I like it too. He should release this version. Same way like hes released ebortS and Strobe.

[@flogram_games]

You must get a DAW (digital audio workstation) to get started. The two best DAWs are Ableton Live and FL Studio. Download one of them and start experimenting with them!

[@magic11221]

thanks man!

[@JoseMonkeys]

Yes, and Arguru created it :P

[@jullam2986]

Rezz?????

[@synthoelectro]

I've been using DAW's for many years and from everything I used, Ableton beats them all for composing needs, try ableton. I say that because it's like from the brain to the screen, now it isn't for everyone but it is amazing. Has all the power of VST effects and built in effects, awesome MIDI composition and arrangement, that will get you into stellar controlled music.

[@nois3_luvs_u]

i luv how his PC sounds all over the stream, fucking truck sound XD

[@XektorOfficial]

I found a similar synth on Fl Studio . On the plugin Sytrus find the preset "pizzicato" on the orchestral section

[@geite96]

How can he be making that banging tracks in that mess. At least I can't do it.

[@archologyzero]

I'm sure your following this up with your video of you creating a fully mixed and mastered song in 10 minutes, as you claim you can, that rivals the production quality of the pros. We'll all be waiting on that video. And we'll be waiting a long time I'msure. Because it wont happen.

[@baconbits2295]

i was a drummer, and i also taught myself guitar and learnt piano, and now getting into producing... producing is by far the hardest...
