Why Deadmau5 REALLY Rose to Fame

[@EDMTips]

What techniques are you going to try from this video?? 🤔 Let me know below! 👇

[@djGreenALERT]

I lot of the tips you've already shown us or I've picked up over time, but putting together the whole caboodle in one mau5y collective.. That's something I'm going to enjoy playing about with very much Will.

[@zeepster]

That you can sit in a great room but still work on headphones 🙃

[@russell_szabados]

@@zeepsterwhy would you do that? I'm going to assume you're kidding. The best headphones can never match a pair of good monitors in a treated room. JBL makes amazing near-field monitors that are less than $200/pair. Save up and grab them!

[@wernerxldata]

Before I watch the video, he uses multi tonality, aka multiple scales 😊 In his masterclass video he also admits he doesn’t know s**t about music theory and uses what sounds good to him. Seems a valid approach, in the end it’s about how it sounds, the theory is just a tool to get there.

[@AutPen38]

I'm gonna set the tempo to 128bpm and sidechain everything. No other producers apart from me will do this so I'll become a superstar.

[@LukeIcardMusic]

Deadmau5 was one of the artists that got me into EDM. I was mind blow when the 10 minute version of strobe came out.

I've been into electronic music since the 80's, and I've looked down on EDM for years. I just never gave it a chance. I'm a music producer and had no idea how innovative Deadmau5 is. I'm glad I watched this, I'm going to download some of his music, it's really good.

[@mrelec1000]

Fun fact! Mau5 actually made a song called "I forget" which I think he has used as a live tool to go before or after "I remember" I have a copy of it somewhere, it's really really beautiful. A very ambient piece that transcends the listener to another state. He fr really killed it with both versions of "I remember"

[@EDMTips]

I did not know that but I will check it out! Thanks for sharing 🙌🏻

[@b3nnyb3nny]

Would be cool if you did one on Kaskade! There doesn’t seem to be much on him on KZbin , but he has also had so many different sounds over the years. Something I feel he excels in is the composition of the songs and vocal melodies. His sound design is good but even mau5 said sourcing vocals and Melodies was kaskades strong point. I’m sure he played a huge part in the vocals for I Remember.

[@EDMTips]

Great idea, and I agree!

[@13Skribbles]

Deadmau5 is a legend He is king of edm Everyone who has found true success even those he had beef with admit his path inspired them…and lets not forget he signed REZZ Genius

[@EDMTips]

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it!

[@NFSHeld]

I think what's also key for him in newer tracks is the way he uses polymeters and -rhythms and "unexpected" re-sync triggers of arps. So he might have a chord of 4 notes and set an arp-sequence of length 7/8 that would return to home after 8 meters, but throughout he changes chords 3 times and 2 times he resets the arp-sequence back to 1. And if you do it "randomly" it would sound off and out-of-tune, but he chooses them such that it works out.

[@fp4610]

[@danielrosenkvist3445]

Thanks for another well produced video Will. Don't know how you find the time to churn out these videos almost weekly but happy for it. I Remember was probably the first Deadmau5 track that really introduced me to his music. I might actually have heard something under Halcyon 441 first but can't for the life of me recall the name of the track I am thinking about. So many years so many tracks... sigh

It is a lot of work but if people find them useful, I am happy! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙂

[@Uncle_Troy]

He pioneered the use of counterpoint in melodies and went out of his way to make melodies that were out of the ordinary yet intriguing. He's been more than content with openly discussing his craft in interviews throughout the year, and I think we're all glad about that!

[@EDMTips]

Great insights, thank you for sharing 🙌🏻

[@OfficiallyMaidenless]

Ok look I like Deadmau5 but what on earth are you saying, he didn't "pioneer" counterpoint in melodies blud. How does a man pioneer something that Bach and Beethoven used and studied extensively are you mad?

[@oblitafier]

He didn’t pioneer the use of counterpoint in melodies lol Get a grip

[@neonvoid]

I was listening to him before he got really big - I always thought his main early breakthrough achievement was to bring forward the underground computer / demo scene sounds/music and popularize it with masterful sound engineering.

[@EDMTips]

Sounds like you were ahead of the curve!

[@TheDennys21]

The mau5 is legendary, he was kind of a mentor to an up and coming techno producer i_o, i don't know if you've heard of him but the guy was talented, sadly he passed away in 2020. Nice video.

[@EDMTips]

Thank you, glad you liked it! Yes, I remember him, he was a great producer, it's shame he's no longer with us.

[@neonvoid]

interesting 4:20 i'd probably just add an arp device and set it to chord mode to repeat these notes instead of editing it on the piano roll :)

[@brokko_le3]

Sounds amazing! Had fun creating similar chords here. I always search for lush sounds in presets when it comes to chords, but taking from your example it's actually surprisingly easy to make those myself. The warmth and lushness clearly comes for the most part from the chords themselves and even simple sounds can sound great. Actually better, because they get less muddy. Love it.

[@EDMTips]

[@PlugInGuruVideo]

Go play Random Album Title to hear the ingredients that make up a Deadmau5 track and this came out years and years before LFO Tool and Serum came out (however one tip not mentioned is that Joel and Steve Duda (the guy that created LFO Tool and Serum) was a buddy of Joel's and Joel has been using beta versions of LFO Tool and SERUM for years before they were available to the public. That helped because the sounds Deadmau5 was creating were so in your face compared to what most everybody else was doing. They also released a killer sample pack you can still buy which is even today a gold mine of killer samples, especially the cymbal/kick effects. Great video dude.... If you play Random Album Title (which spells RAT by the way for those wanting an inside joke) - you'll hear techniques that are now used in most EVERY genre of dance music that in many cases, Joel did first. He's one of our pioneers being truly one of the OG of EDM before it was even called EDM.

[@EDMTips]

Thanks for sharing this info, I found it very intersting to read, I am sure others will appreciate it too! 🙌🏻

[@PlugInGuruVideo]

@@EDMTips My pleasure, another fun FYI, I beta tested and did factory patches for Serum and it was my suggestion to Steve to use different buttons than he was using for the OSC, FX, MATRIX and GLOBAL buttons. They used to be wide ovals and thin and difficult to select! I sent him a photo of a cassette player from the 80's and viola! :D

That borrowed chords thing i already took from Deadmau5 his live streams. Only i apply it kind of differently than he does... He uses it on his chords where he builds the whole song on, I use it to extend off the base chords of my music. The way i use it gives a sort of dreamy effect. Like when you are shifting off into a day dream

Great tune, it would be amazing if you could to do a deep dive into the advanced mixing techniques your using on some of these productions, like after you finish a track video like this one.. maybe do a one off part 2 followup of it- showing a more in depth form of how you used your techniques to get to the next step in mixing it and so on. It would be cool to see sometime, knowing when not to overmix and when to stop is a good concept as well. Keep up the good work 👏

@EDMTips thanks for the reply Will appreciate it. Oh stop I'd say a video like that would probably take an entire series to make 😂, but defo something with a few concise points into the main elements of mixing and demonstrating how to make them work the stereo field in flowing form would be a golden ticket buddy. I must check out your accelerator course soon 👍

Honestly his work with Mellee was where I first came across him, as a DJ for "adult oriented" events. I have seen some major musical growth since then. However I think his willingness to push a sexual envelope certainly didn't hurt and got some immediate attention for him, after that he stepped up his game seriously, but that old stuff still gets played more in my DJ sets.

[@ElectronicMusicTips]

This was excellent Will! I really liked how you walked through the routing of the effects to create a high environment and then went back to sweeten the delay to show us what we're working towards. Spot on and killer demo! I could feel your excitement match the energy as it built in the track!
