ANYBODY! how does he make the project play from playhead being in midi-editor (not from the main arrangement window). This setting in Ableton drives me crazy (in any other DAW you can set playhead being in whatever view - piano roll, note-editing - but in Live you have to go up to Arrangement view, while editing midi-notes and I found zero info about how to change this setting).
Thank you very much in advance. If you open that secret, you're gonna make me and hordes of other people super happy.

some reasons why it doesn't work /see the full behaviour here:

please share.

Revolutionary.
Definately speeds up chord creation
man, you rock! The funny thing is: I was so damn pissed out by this playhead behaviour that I messed around the shit out of it (sorry for this neologism) - but I was randomly checking out all possible combinations with the spacebar and by change ran into this Opt+Space .
But thanks a lot anyway. I didn't expect such fast reply - so I'm checking it out only now. I should develop more trust in people. And thanks again - it's a true time saver!
Big respect to deadmau5 for having the courage to show his raw workflow.
Most artist only dare to show their final tracks, to make sure they make the best possible impression.
But the truth is - everything sucks in the beginning. Iterative refinement is key to making good stuff.
All hail lord unfa, king of open source music
This is so true about everything. It takes time to make things look and sound good. You cant expect greatness in the first couple of minutes!
by my standards, this did not suck in the beginning
@@Gooberpatrol66 Well, I am sure it did suck by Joel's standards.
100% agreed! I find it frustratingly hard to even get started with new projects…
Even the default sound on Serum sounds better when he plays it than when i play it.
Evolutia it’s all bout those chords man
Good harmony and good progression are the key.
Unison maxed plus octave mode mixing.
i love how everyone says its something else other than the hardware he runs the stock sound through (2xdistressors) which he said himself it then sounds so good u dont need alot of processing to it. but noooo dude... its your chords they just arent as good 😂😂😂
@@gravity00x Bro Is there any distressor plugins which make sounds so good?
This was like watching Rogue One; You know it ends with everything being trashed, but you still feel bad when it happens.
i did
i thought so too, tri
"surprised you are doing chords the old fashioned way.. no rapid prototyping in cthulu"
*Opens up Cthulu.*
That was pretty funny lmao
Deadmau5 finds the cure for cancer.
Then scraps it.
He thought that was bullshit like the other cures... whatever
nogla anyone
Man look at all these chart topping producers in the comments nit-picking everything
lmao :D
freddo 1614 He meant the people in the comments complaining about the sound and how simple it is.
Well, it is. It sounds nice, sure, but it's not like it took hours of meticulous work. It's not a colossal loss for him to delete it. This whole channel is just "MUSICIAN DOES THING BUT DOESN'T KEEP IT BECAUSE HE'S NOT HAPPY WITH 100% OF HIS WORK"
in this comments section, noobs try to act smart about sound design
The sound is simple, a producer who has been producing for only a few months would notice that. Just because Mau5 has been on the charts does not make him any more superior to someone who hasn't.
5:05 when you get the mushroom in Super Mario Bros
you mean a detuned saw wave?
this guy must be working at buzzfeed with all these clickbaits lol
Social Experiment if wanna smartass smartass right ma boiii
1 detuned sawwave will not get you this sound....
the dissonance between 2 sawwaves will get you this sound
thank you everyone thank you
he was half right at least. Same as you.
You forgot polyphony of at least 6 voices and a highpass filter.
awwww man cmon now.
if you correct me, correct me right (there is no correction needed)
first of all what you regard to as "polyphonic" in this case is rather called "unison". second of all he is using a LOWPASS-filter(not a highpass filter, but i think you just mixed the words up) triggered by an envelope, which itself is triggered by each incoming gate (midinote).
what does unison mean?
unison basically means a duplicate of an oscillator (in this case 5 times), which is slightly detuned. Also if you wish so (like in this patch) the phase of each duplicate will be different, meaning the "startingpoint" of each wave will be different (which is the case in this patch - the random knob).
So my Statement is still right in the sense that the base of this sound can be replicated by setting up 2 sawwaves with slight detune. Unison (or duplicate your 2 oscs many times and detune each instance a little differently and if u can adjust Phase) thickens everything up AF though, so do that ! ;D
am a bad writer
cheers
Hush now lukasfromanotherstar ! You are giving up the trade secrets ! Illuminati will get ya !
I fell asleep listening to this and had a dream of all the chords climbing up and around a tall oak tree, and they were all white with sparkles on the chords. Great dream.
Blakefulable 😂😂😂
Stop eating shrooms
@@19NinetyUK no
but this track is useless without parallox in chat that no say "you can hide the keyboard"
Mad Edits 😂😂
As a music producer myself, thing kind of thing happens very often. An artist will have tens if not hundreds of dumped projects and melodies and chord progressions for every one that they release.
Yup, the struggle of any producer.
I don't think you need to state that your a musician on a Deadmau5 Creation Live stream
Erybuddy a mucisian in dis birch
Yup yup. I was looking thru some old projects of mine and this one I looked at was literally just 4 notes and a kick on the down beats smh
Yep the music struggle
WOW saw wave with enveloppe on the filter o_O
First time i hear about such a complex sound
+freddo 1614 my favourite quote
Bambel They didn't say it was impressive.
Vincent Lagarde Always just uses the init preset from all synths haha
It does not matter if it sounds simple or how it's made, you guys are talking about that bcs you have seen him making that sound.
But if you listen to it normally and compare any other sound from another song, you will notice Joel's sound is way better than those.
And the other thing, he's been producing and designing sounds from before you were born, he has a lot of experience.
CriFy SM he’s been producing synth sounds since before he was born
I love how the title just has to say THAT SYNTH SOUND and everyone instantly knows what you're talking about
I still have no idea what you guys are talking about after listening.
@@pylotlight It's a supersaw pluck you uncultured swine
Oh shit! Fancy seeing you here xD
I think the chord progression at 7:07 and beyond is definitely much more attractive than the synth sound itself. It’s very hypnotic.
I respect how he still finds the time to talk to his chat
I love how everyone in the chat are now "master producers" saying how trash he is but yet they are nowhere near an amateur producer lmao
That’s facts
there's a lot of elitists in deadmau5's community and it tears apart the vibe sometimes
The way it opens up at 12:45 gives me chills every time
i like the way you said it
"THAT SYNTH SOUND"
''Get Kanye to pay for Serum'' LMAO xD
That chord progression is gold
11:02 Read the last message in the chat box lol.
WTF JAJAJAJA OMG LMAFO LAMO XDXDXD
I don't know, it doesn't happen to me.
モレノザカライヤ hahaha good eye dude
lol
_relatable_
If u know what he is doing, you know he's good. Other producers don't even know what an hp12 filter is... While deadmau5 makes that filter himself xD
Vakama uh
Actually Andrew Simper created the filter.
And all he does at this video ( and many others at this channel ( Where he create "awesome" synth patches ) ) is put a simple init saw, detune the hell outta it, soft filter it, put a delay on the patch, and after the delay use a reverb for fill out the space between the delayed bits. it's nothing special. :)
If you think that's crazy good, then i can recommend you checking out some of Richard Devine's patches ;)
Richard Devine - Risp 2012 for example.
Also it's not about against Mau5 or something, it's just simple basic synthesis and that's all. Even he said that in the serum breakdown video with Steve .
@@youtubeimi6480 thank u for the info. But I just wanted to say what deadmau5 is capable of xD In comparison to Some standard djs
@@vakama5467 Yeah, i agree his sets with visuals are killers, but tbh there is a huge difference between producing and djing.
:ost of the producers know almost every type of filters, like notches, peaks, hi / lo cuts, bandpasses, etc. it's not that complicated. 😁
@@youtubeimi6480 true xD if u know what u r doing, it's not complicated
Deadmau5 makes "That chord progression"
09:59 Thank me later..
Thanks from later
JJ Green I
Thanks.
A year later, thanks.
The hero we don't deserve!
Deadmau5 play any instruments? their melodies are so deep. I take weeks or months to create something decent, he makes an exciting melody in minutes ... OMG.
Sebastian I kno right and I played piano for years and still nothing like that
LOOOL
Sebastian it's because he has done this all day, almost every day, for the past 10 years (maybe more).
When you have already made every chord progression there is. You begin to learn what works and what doesn't.
Just keep going and stay creative.
true man!!
its called talent and an ear for music. for a reason man :)
Sometimes you got to be the villian, but to be a deadmau5 is understandable too.
That indeed is a nice chord progression, I'll give him that.
Are my titles are driving some of you bonkers???
"Deadmau5 makes another detuned saw wave"... Maybe I should try that and see if anybody watches it.
I'll post the same video with two different titles and see which performs better....the data will show if it's worth the effort.
nuka lol! Thank you! Don't know what it is. Sounds like a Deadmau5 song.??
Thats not the point. If it doesnt get any views when you title it appropriately, then maybe it's not worthy of an upload in the first place. Maybe title it ''Deadmau5 creates arp chord progression' or something like that. I would definitely click that. Now what you're doing is baiting people into watching the video and they end up disappointed. How do you think that is gonna affect your long term viewership?
I'm open to suggestions...making a good title is copywriting 101 to grab attention. I don't want to deceive that's annoying. Most of these videos will be more informative but some will be more entertaining. So I'll try and adapt the headlines accordingly...don't be afraid to call me out if you think I'm totally missing the mark...
Thanks guys. Appreciate the feedback
Geez thanks nuka.
I guess my initial comment was a bit harsh. Clickbait titles just really frustrate me I guess. I'm glad you're so open minded about it. The videos are usually very entertaining/informative.
HELP! Someone made an amazing arrangement of this, kicking off where this track is around 8:55, to make it a full track (!) and it was taken down by YT for copyright… I can’t find ANY other version of this track now. It’s actually one of my favorites and I used it often to focus at work. No more! What a loss… Does anyone know where it could be found?
Possibly on sound cloud but this track sounds so similar to resaved/saved
Should've downloaded it rip
Why would dm take down stream compositions its unreleased
im def in love with the way he edit chords
this arpeggio game is a magic of great combinations
I would actually be upset if he didn't name his studio "The Mau5trap".
thats what his label is called.
amazing how trance never dies.. his majesty deadcow's skills aside...
every time i hear this it makes me go to sleep its soothing to me
JOEL, you can hide the keyboard
You mean a hypersaw? You can make one literally by turning up the unison on a basic saw wave and some LP Filter Modulation. That’s it. Takes like 15 seconds.
I dont know why people are amazed by the sound design and not the song writing and music theory 😂😂😂
*gets a deadmau5 online class ad*
Arp is so beautiful
Vsauce michael here
He spent more on the plugins used in this clip than I spent on textbooks last year... Fuck, dude.
i got banned on his stream for calling him mousey boii when hes was playing pubg XD Phantom sage raid!
Lmfao
Deadman has a few screws loose
That sound is just a super saw and a good filter? Why is anybody impressed?
Is*
"That sound is _just_ a super saw and a good filter?"
yeah nothing THAT special
ok mr. master producer, why don’t you make a song
Deadmau5's masterclass commercial before this vid? COINSIDENCE?!
7:08 Reminds me a bit of "Son of Flynn" by Daft Punk
"Joel would bitch slap a kardashian so fast lol, plus he's got a fine mamma jamma"
I died there in the chat😂
watching this whole was am amazing experience
This chord progression! Ahhhh 😍
It wasn't the sound he junked... it was the chord progression... -_-'
3:57 Beautiful!
10:56 he had it for a sec
Yea but it was too in line with strobe so I think he wanted to go into something different
is that not just a detuned saw? lmao
My guy Daeseus in chat acting like he’s better than Rick Rubin
im happy you upload these you could put the title "Deadmau5 sucks at making music" and id watch it
Dylan Forrest you are my people
LOL buddy only 12 likes......we would'nt have electronic dance music if it wasn't for deadmua5 changing the style of music forever. I bet you if people like daft punk and deadmua5 never existed people like marshmello and Diplo would never be here. i'd like to see you try and make any sense of his music and explain all the effects, 3rd party plugins, analog synthesizers, midi chart mapping for all his gear and also give let me here why you think his music sucks....because hell its not at all easy to make.
his chat is something special, but he does know how to make an arp
One guy in that stream chat said that no other producers do streams and communicate with fans like Deadmau5 do. Well, I definitely know that there is James Egbert who used to do exactly same.
Awesome vid. Amazing to watch the process of a true genius!
You have to go through the motions in order to identify something in the chaos. Takes me 4 or 5 versions before I'm on to something..
In every video that sais like ".... and junks it" he actually never delets anything.
3:10 I think it would've been way better if he didn't move the chords up a few semitones.
Story of my todays session :D freaking recording and tweaking and in the end just DEL everything
Dude... there is now limits as to how youdo your thing and on how creative you can be
-Daeseus 2017
Seriously bro, clown comment. There’s so much creativity in Joel’s work.
He is classically trained, the way he leads the chords witness it.
He’s not actually lol
@@RemAtmos he know his musical history though, you can gain that knowledge outside college too ofcourse.
Getting a very Boards of Canada vibe as it progresses.... very nice...
awesome chords
Steban Her he doesnt think so :D
every second is a different beginning to Some Chords…
i absofuckinglutely love this
do u mean a saw wave with a bit of unison, distortion, and a lowpass with a plucky lfo on the cuttof as "THAT SYNTH SOUND"??
+Arkane Skye affirmitive
Is there a very technically inclined person that could extract the audio and put the file up for download? Crediting Deadmau5 of course! EDIT: I mean the song itself, not the parts where he edits... like make a continuous song without including his stops/breaks when he adjusts his settings etc.
You don't have to be technically inclined, just look up how to convert to mp3
Thanks, just edited my comment. I don't want the breaks and stops that he takes.
Keepvid.com
Oh right, see that's a lot of work, I wouldn't do it for free.
George Rosebush LMAO, your definition of a lot of work must be very much off, compiling these audio bits together is easy.
Take your money hungry self elsewhere.
There is one reason for him to junk it: Its so fucking easy to create something like that.
It's just a saw oscillator with a lowpass???
this video is an ear massage
he trashed it probably because it was the most cliche key synth ever.
It sounds incredible but I cannot get over the fact that he chained the delay after the reverb
I tried it and it works
music, refinery ad nauseum
My friend will do awesome stuff like this, by that I mean he'll make a beautiful song & maybe post it on his soundcloud for a week... I hear it & think "this shit is REALLY good!!"... next day I'm thinking "I wanna hear that again", but then he's taken it down, so I say Hey dude that one was really good, why'd u take it down? & can u at least put it back up but mark it as private so at least I CAN KEEP LISTENING TO IT even if u don't want other people to hear it anymore? & he'll tell me "nah man I got rid of that one, I got something better I'm workin on"... which is good because he's pushing himself to be better, but I'm always thinking "man, that track was great... there was nothing wrong with it...people would love it! Why did you have to completely erase it off you're computer? Your hard drive has plenty of space... you could at least just save & keep the file for a while & maybe check it out again later & maybe you'll see that it was fucking awesome to begin with... maybe it just wasn't your own personal favorite of your own work at that time, but damn! I see you just making gold & then just throwing it in the trash! .... Last time I hung out with him, we were in his car & as he drove he was scrolling through the mp3s on his iPod... he played a new song of his that I hadn't heard yet & as usual, I loved it, but I thought it soon wouldn't exist, so later that night I asked him to play it again & sneakily was running a voice recorder app on my phone while I sat in the passenger seat holding my phone's Mic next to one of his car's speakers so that I could AT LEAST have THAT audio recording memory of yet another awesome song he'd made that, of course, might soon not exist...
What´s his soundcloudname?

Thanks for teaching me how to make an arp! I shall explore cthulu
What money, connections and fan base will get you! Congratulations
How does he have it so Ableton's playhead jumps to wherever he clicks? @4:35
idk if you ever got the answer for this but he has an alt input to do that instead of his click.
Holding the alt button and hitting space
i can't believe he just...... dumped it.
:(
I'm a huge deadmau5 fan but I don't know that much about producing. Can somebody explain to me why everyone is arguing in the comments?
The title is just a bit off that's all, it's a simple synth
Producers with varying degrees of experience arguing about saw waves
Oh look! It's me everyday! LOL
"Why does eating jalapenos make my nipples hard" XD 11:07
Well he said in the comments that he thinks he can do better, and honestly neither the melody nor the synth were anything special so I reckon he's right
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you..........................................
The Future : 👉7:06👈
I could've seen part of it being club trance back in the day for sure, but I know that wasnt what he was going for.
I wish people could hear it from his perspective, he trashes it because it's not what he hears in his head
deadmau5 puts a lowpass on a saw
(not that I have any real say in the way he produces) But I feel like deadmau5 should have listened to the chords first without an arp to get a good idea of what he wants the background of the track to sound like before altering it as an arp. He still gets interesting results, but everytime he changes a note the arp has to catch up and reset which can sound a bit confusing... I wish I had a computer to make music again, he inspires me so much...
Realistically idk why everyone is freaking out. It was ok, but realistically it wasn't anything too unique and he is always looking for something unique. He probably has thousands and thousands of scrapped ideas cause he isn't feeling it. I save all my scraps but realistically I shouldn't as I'll never go back to them. Some things click some don't and sometimes ideas are just not felt especially if ur someone like Joel. I mean he is looking for something specific each time and all he does is sit and make shit, so if he ain't feeling it, then it's gone. Someone like joel for example live inside melodies. They are everywhere for him and abundant. If that's the case then this was far from something special for him. Joel also cares a lot about what he likes so even if others would like it, he really mostly operates off of if he is feeling it. Just like strobe. He almost deleted strobe. He never probably would've guessed that would be like his biggest song.
Classic deadmau5. Makes something amazing, then the trash bin.
Am I the only one who tried to close one of the widows by habit at least once during this video?
How do you make music with a live commentary at every move you make
Deadmau5 shouldn't be called a musician, he should be called a sound engineer. It sounds cooler.
yeah, he does that every once in a while..
he is making this with a basic saw bass
Does deadmau5 know music theory?
Boggesh Zahim he has his own music theory of sitting in front of daw for over a decade now.. according to him he doesn’t know music theory.. I believe subconsciously he does though.. without realizing it.. it’s natural to his melody making..
Yes a lot of plug-ins and a workflow that helps create happy accidents
Wow.. seeing deadmau5' workflow makes me feel hopeful as a beginner.
thats what i was thinking when i started out. when i started tutorials and such werent that accesable for an early teen that just got fl. especially videos of the raw workflow of producers. but keep it up and dont stop making music. eventually it could be as good as his or of any other producer!
genius
