deadmau5 "This is the kinda calibre that ends up on mau5trap" ASHE - Little King

[@markemerson98]

"I got no advice for you, you know what you're doing, you got this, awesome!" = the ultimate compliment

[@orbis17]

BIG agree! That must have felt amazing to hear, and well deserved also absolutely fire track

[@spikejnz]

Deadmau5 is like an Asian parent-his default state is disappointed in you, and you have to work hard to please him.

[@ShimrraJamaane]

I think more along the lines of Gordon Ramsay or Simon Cowell.

[@geroge_i_mean_george]

Hey man that is seriously awesome. And I'm blown away- even the mau5 himself has no criticism for it. Can you tell me what you keep in mind with mixing over headphones (seen on another comment)? Do you do all the mixing and mastering yourself? Thanks in advance!

[@asheoffline]

All the mixing and mastering is done by me yep. You have to really know your headphones I'd say. Listen to a lot of your favourite artists work constantly for some comparison. Also taking breaks is essential. Your ears will get tired real quick so a break every 20 minutes or so is key. Though I very much advise you 100% should monitor on various speakers (Never got a chance to on this one). :P Thanks for the kind words!
