deadmau5 working on Snowcone Lead

[@staunch_85]

9:38 HEAVEN .....

[@nicolasciampone1515]

can't believe he let that lead out. it's astonishing

[@WuchtaArt]

More isn't always better, im glad he didnt keep it

[@tricatmeows]

This lead would've made this track so much better than it was tho

[@user-dl8yo3wv1t]

@Tony Carranza i disagree, i always felt like snowcone was a passive, ambient song. something to make you think rather than nod your head.

You guys do have a point. But it just works so well!

He makes producing look so easy.

it is easy.

@@thepjup4507 Yeah it is if you've been doing it for years and have mastered it, just like pretty much everything.

If you know what your doing and all the tricks, yea it’s easy. You just need ideas

For anyone who’s curious this lead is also is in garageband ios. Scroll to leads < Classic 70s synth lead & click on slow attack . :D

[@GriffenJohnson]

holy shit oscillator you've uploaded so much today

[@zakzbroja]

and im enjoying every second of it

[@GriffenJohnson]

Cheekycunt MEOWLORD hell yeah

[@danimal8205]

That Grit Lead at 8:00 SO GOOOD

[@savantmusic_4592]

i agree, joel should've let it be that way.

[@WyattWinters]

if it was an octave lower definitely

[@grxvs8519]

As soon as Joel added the pitch bend, I died and went to heaven. I'm so sad he left it out :(

[@_coffeebean_]

I absolutely love Snowcone but I'm kinda sad that this didn't make it into the final song. I've watched this video plenty of times now because I really love this lead. It has something mystical. Hearing it makes my thoughts wander off and it really relaxes me. But I guess that's just deadmau5 beeing the critical producer he is. I really hope that maybe, just maybe he's rethinking the lead some day and will upload a re-edit.

[@ghostproducer217]

same bro, same...

[@xxChimairaxx]

totally agree!

[@PolarArctica]

Agreed. But as a (bad) producer, I do this all the time too. I'm super indecisive when it comes to what makes the final cut. But whenever I'm onto something, I usually save it in case I scrap it. The difference is that Joel's "scraps" are actually amazing lol. Mine are just random melodies I put together lol.

[@josepher9267]

you are apsolutely right..somehow snowcone doesnt feel finished. this lead makes it real.i also watched this video plenty of times because of this lead. but you said it right.. hes a critical producer

[@kidinhisparentsbasement5596]

Yeah me to dude

[@LukeShrimp]

Hey thanks for all the videos, keep up the great work!

[@Oskillator]

Thomas Harrison thanks!

[@4freedomification]

Thanks for the ul. Did not expect to see Deadmau5 sitting & scrolling through presets (before you get triggered, there's nothing wrong with it, i do it on lazy days as well)

[@muhammedzubin7214]

Thank you for these amazing amazing treats, hope to god Joel doesn't take these down

[@TheValadin]

I listen to this while doing my physics homework and certain times when he hits spacebar, I think of something I never would have thought of. So deadmau5 for me is truly like another Mozart, just modern and way cooler.

[@digitalbeat666]

sweet lead sound

[@noah8699]

Absolutely love this song, thanks for uploading this!

[@GodRob]

I can feel it at 5:50

[@franksmith80]

17:30 If they were to ever make hl2:e3 (highly unlikely ik), I want whatever that is to play wheni'm walking around the Borealis.

[@theRealChadWarden42069]

you should check out the project borealis ost's

[@Backinthedase]

Oh shit this is dope! He REALLY streams his stuff and process thats so sick and inspiring. I have to check out one of his streams, what was this streamed on???

[@Ixxlostinabox]

www.twitch.tv/deadmau5

[@tilen154]

7:46 is the best imo... I believe a lower lead would have fit better

[@jeremy5072]

I've learned more about using Ableton from Joel than any tutorial I've ever watched.

[@JesusRuiz-nz5qv]

That lead is for a different song! He’s a genius and knows exactly why he left it out.

[@bigbiyah3659]

What song did this get mixed into?

[@Ember_03]

Big Biyah I’m curious as well

[@thatonedecayingperson3342]

I love the synth sound at the start sound like something from boreds of Canada

[@MrKrackaaa]

Room full of the best analog synths in the world and he chooses to use Omnisphere...and it STILL sounds fantastic. Fuckin' A m8.

[@thecrow3875]

For me this is the best snowcone version.

[@SignalFlux]

Glad I'm not the only one a bit bummed out this didn't make it into the final version... Snowcone is still sick though. One of his best in recent times imo with hyperlandia and Polaris. If you're interested I have a remix which uses the melody, though in a bit of a different way...

[@notaeuphemism9646]

Since I'm a huge fan of Boards of Canada I like the original snowcone best, but a re-uploaded version of this track would be dope too

[@darrenhirst9900]

The moment deadmau5 like's your tune and your web page has five billions views 👀 He's a dope producer and his music is cool.

[@helo3851]

Ey I love the videos you upload. This is very educational for me as I also make music. I love it! Keep doing what youre doing :)

[@LukeReturns]

Reminds me of Boards of Canada

[@xanderjohan6503]

jupp possibly a reason why he threw it away

[@TonyClownboye]

Yeah it's a bit like BoC's Everything You Do is a Balloon

[@nikhilghatnekar]

also was named BAC instead of BOC maybe to not spill over the secret lol

[@iapples38]

11:45 😍

[@anonymousdcal]

usin old pitch bend on automation

[@patricks_music]

Darren Coia such a cool sound

[@theuhdane]

booger booger butt butt

[@musiquemaker1207]

Nice track !

[@chillstepmusic310]

8:00 the "avaritia" lead preset? Lol

[@paneax7761]

Why did you delete this? : ( this Sound ist so fuckin' sick ....

[@Lothyde]

Yep I can see why he took it out, he tried really hard but ultimately it did not fit with what the song was going for.

[@nightingalemusic8921]

Thank you Very Much for done this Vedio

[@e92Bn]

im gonna learn this on my guitar 🤟

[@BenkenArt]

Can someone tell me how he made that LFO-ish pitch tape effect in the delay?

[@Oskillator]

+Benken right click the unit and select repitch

[@BenkenArt]

Thanks, but how he get this slow LFO-ish pitch effect right? The delay time should be moved constantly to get this effect, but he didn't use an automation because it works as well when he stops the track. Is it possible to route an LFO to the delay time? I still don't get it. Cheers!

[@BenkenArt]

After watching a tutorial of H-Delay, which Deadmau5 uses here, I found out it's a feature of this plugin. In there you can use an LFO to modulate the delay time. To recreate this with the native Ableton-Plugins, an LFO has to be routed to the sync time. I don't know how to do this yet, but it has to possible somehow…

[@AzerBeast]

Has He Ever Used this Lead for Any Of His Songs? If So What is the Song Name

[@jayjaywillz9890]

Sounds similar to the lead on no problem

[@inspir.edmusic]

Snowcone_FINAL hahaha

[@McQuads87]

WHAT THIS ACTUALLY IN THE FINAL MIX? IM HAVING TROUBLE FINDING IT!?

[@pcmaster888]

no, the lead didn't make it into the final track. he might play it in that version live or remix it someday in some way though.. ;)

[@McQuads87]

Awesome, thanks for the share

[@georgerosebush9754]

He said in the chat it doesn't work, "no wonder I left it out"

[@MsAvatar1972]

I need this version pls

[@azagedon]

Awesome.

[@UserIDK-gz4vg]

Can some one tell me if there’s is version of this track with the lead 😭

6:21 is that a pitch vst?

[@EpicMrEric]

I'm not an Ableton guy but I'm pretty sure it's just automation.

[@canon5204]

Yeah, once viewing a midi clip you can enter this sort of hidden automation mode. Just look up some tutorials.

[@BulletProofCupid7]

All of those tracks named "Audio" seen here are some prerecorded samples I presume? Propably a noob question but so far all I can do is to build stuff with bricks in fruity loops so yea, i'm a nub :C

[@nostos_]

bpc7 yeah, unlike FL Studio, in ableton, you have tracks for midi and others for audio. When you open up a new audio track it just says audio.

[@spinningthreads]

Is this going to be released in a future edit do you think?

[@Oskillator]

Eidos looks like he continues to work on tracks and may perform them so they are not identical to the release

[@fikrirahmatnurhidayat4988]

Why he delete dis?

[@jullam2986]

16:13 😂

[@Wismic]

Snowcone you say?

[@Kreme17]

What is the envelope modulating?

[@TheDave000]

Pitchbend

[@serhat6181]

good choice. the lead is not dark as the background beat. it didn't fits the song (it's good but not fits.)

[@stormie909]

100th comment. Favorite deadmau5 project, I always go back to this video.

[@nightingalemusic8921]

Wt is this Software Name...

[@EdgarVillagme]

Ableton live, bro

[@handleneeds3charactersormore]

He lost it at 14:35, trust me I'm a producer

[@mr_don_key]

if he'd played keys.. he could have done the melody in one take (with pitch bender).

[@cai739]

Not really. After playing it he would've gone in and edited the pitch bends anyway to clean them up and make changes.

[@bot-rf4vo]

i think, it's better off without that lead

[@ddiazdd27]

bot I love that lead so much but I think snowcone sounds better the way it is now all dark and just amazing

[@BigBluHuski]

Snow cone is better with the vocals from when the summer dies
