>16 voices on arpeggiated chords
Goodbye cpu
my laptop can barely handle Serum as it is XD
@Tyler Durden apperently 16 gigs of ram is enough for it then lol
@@ghostham1635 mine too
I just use 6-8 voices (sort of sounds the same as 16 I guess) before it sounds like my laptop is going to self destruct lol
Yeet I did same in my track buy my cpu is fine :)
This guy is the master of moving shit around randomly and turning it from one masterpiece to another
that's because it's not random.
@@elfferich1212 It is called music theory and it is needed by true musicians.
@@eme7305 if you don't know music theory, you are just copying and pasting... Real musicians don't do that
@@Colin_Lawlor_Audio what exactly are you just copying and pasting? If you're creating chords from scratch and by ear what difference does it make?
Sometimes I think he uses a different version of Serum that makes everything sound better
I think He layers both Digital and analog synths
@@VivekKumar-fg4qc no. It’s saturation and chains of it from his desk, that we’ll probably never get our hands on. Saturation is the key
@@nikolaudio How saturation can make such Difference bro. And it sounds so lush
@@VivekKumar-fg4qc because of the upper harmonics it imposes on a signal. It is this "filling" of a harmonic range that adds the distinguished "full" and rich sound to his signal
@@nikolaudio there must be some other gears as well. Which are making it sound good.
I COULD LISTEN TO THESE CHORD PROGRESSIONS ALL DAY LONG.....
same, he's so good at chords
me too
He's got an amazing sense of melody
That's why we're watching this video, his famous for that
@@einorauhala1749 And everyone else is not.
He's literally thrown together a couple of cords and an arpeggiator on them... "Sense of melody".... lol
@@iemgote7249 You can make anything sound stupid by simplifying it like that
Nick W I didn’t simplify anything dummy. This is literally some arpeggiated midi chords on a vst synth. How complicated is that?
5:42, thats just... game over
I was not expecting how good those synths with the piano is. Honestly, I wonder what happened to this song...
thats kontakt for you dude. one of the best samplers out there thats why it carries a 3 or 400 price tag
nope, I just searched for it on NI's site and you can download the sampler for free
Richard Vanni I know but Jon McConnell went just for the player
He just livestreamed this days ago. This song is still probably getting worked on. Who knows if it will ever be released though.
lets pray
I'm trying to learn sound design for two years now and usually i get crazy while i make something on serum trying to sound like producer from the dubstep scene... but every time i see one of joel's live streamings i learn that often the secret is in simpler waveforms and melodies... that's sound design guys, i still have to learn a lot but this is the right way
hows it going now?
I am learning the same! And it is a boost to my confidence.
I really feel sorry for all the people that are never gonna hear deamdau5´s music
deamdau5 😔
I love how quick he decides everything. Choose one thing and continue. Not like me, I spend 4 hrs listen to the same loop changing a kick.
So when people praise deadmau5 for not stacking layers, its just because he maxes out the unison on his serum patches.
Lul.
stacking layers and adding unison aren't quite the same thing, buddy.
@@dokeypokey2254 it kinda is
@@epidote6020 Not really, when you add a voice of unison you add a detuned version of the same sound. When you stack layers you create different sounds which compliment each other in order to get a fuller sounding end product. E.g. adding unison to a saw wave to create a supersaw versus stacking layers such as a triangle, square and a saw square waves to create a super saw sounding product.
@@TheDemonwolf2198 a layer is a layer no matter if it's the same wavetable or not. Detuning a sound achieves a different purpose than adding like a bass sound, (stereo width), but so does adding a pluck sound to a lead. you can technically layer a bunch of different wave tables, detune each of them differently and pan them differently which would create the same effect, would that still not be considered layering with your view point? Adding voices of unison is layering, adding a lead to a bass is just adding another instrument to a band (still layering yes I know). Double tracking guitars and panning then 100% both sides is layering and it achieves the same effect as a detuned saw.
@@epidote6020 no its not. Pls stop it. There are people who watch these videos to learn things and pls don't spoil it
This is what I really like about his music: It has this strong analog/retro vibe.
Sound design at its finest.
really this does not sound analogue :P ....
Serum is pleasure when we get that sound
Yes it certainly does, as I love serum for bass sounds which goes along the beat , as it’s a pleasure to watch dead muau5 at work, I never heard of him until now, as music producer of uplifting euphoria trance this certainly takes it to the next level
@E SSW
too much trance molly
it’s literally just synthesis any synth can do these. serum just likes killing your cpu if you use more than 6 voices
this recording clip is seriously the sickest thing that's happened to me all week!! Power to you
If anyone can make a simple saw wave sound this good, it's got to be Deadmau5.
Could listen to this forever... I swear, this is the best asmr out there.
Damn that Serum sounds great! Loving it at 6:23
i cant believe how amazing he is at chord progression
It’s called Cthulhu.
@@passje8007 Cthulhu isn't making the progression in this case
@@passje8007 chords button is off
@@passje8007 Cthulhu is just making the arpeggios all the chords are from Joel
@@passje8007 tell me you dont know music theory without telling me...
That last chord in the loop is absolutely amazing.
This is so much like better listening to than music playlists because you can also learn as a producer what he tweaks in the background without watching the video. (and developing your ear for sound design)
This video is genius. Thank you for uploading it. It's helped me so much

THANK YOU i've been trying to figure out how he does this for so long!
Oskillator hey i managed to make this into an actual song! Now this was a while ago but search Zach Ryckman - Monster
No?
I was in his master class and he taught and showed some amazing shit , overall it was awesome. This guy's is legend.
that arpeggiated chords are
hypnotics *_*
Is about one week I`m listening to them every day like a fool
Jesus christ. It's the most straight forward thing ever and yet, somehow, magnificent.
>buys Cthulhu
good, don't be like Kanye
same man
that was with serum not cthulhu
LanCee he used serum AND cthulhu
freddo 1614 so $ or £ ?
This is so relaxing!
Really cool stuff goin' on there! Love the progressions -
Awesome. Elegant arpeggio voicing there. Love it.
I could listen to this all day
Love that synth sound!!! Love your music too!! 😀. Have a great evening!!
Amazing synth sound design so earcandy and big.
this was extremely soothing to watch i can play this as a sort of deadmau5 chill opus or some shit its great
This does NOT sound like the Serum version I own🤣🤣🤣
Track Taylor hes probably running it through his eventide effects processor
@@jimmy-hp6yo Ahh..explains alot :)
@@jimmy-hp6yo LMAO! You're probably right. Eventide, if you're listening: please at least do the Splice/Slate Digital model with your VSTs!!
@@nicodenitto5780 All of eventides plugins are on sale right now at plugin boutique
@@tcr333 thanks so much! I'm actually about to pull the trigger on both Blackhole and UltraTap. I literally put it on my calendar lol. Really appreciate the look, friend.
This is very inspirational. Thanks!!
Whenever i watch him... He inspire me altoo♥⌚
if this song is ever out, please guys, share it to us. This is a masterpiece!
This is one of his most beautiful piano + synth combinations, I really hope this gets released !
Also, why did you transpose the original key -_____- first one is much more pretty imo.
Did this actually get released?
@@andrewweigand3297 yes deadmau5 - 4ware
Im loving serum to! its great for plucky appreg sounds bass and more. has anyone noticed he always use the default sound in serum! not even a preset
This is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:)
Oskillator :D
Chris P fuck u hater🖕🏼
Danielicist exactly
here AFTER durrant miller
that chord progression is beautiful
Can’t stop listening to this.
Thank you so much this helped a lot!!!! You saved my life
I can watch deadmau5 making song all day
Never delete this
Gracias master ! Por compartir contenido y por su talento artístico ! Estoy al tanto de todos sus videos ! Saludos !
Thank you man for sharing this stuff
That chord progression is beautiful
3rd or 4th time watching this now over past year, makes more sense everytime..The use of the 2 plugins is next level stuff!!
Chords ..Keys And the Movement he generates is top Classs!!
These chords are perfect
Man, this sounds so unbelievable...How could he not finish this track? I can imagine hearing this live, waiting for the kick to drop!!! Would be so amazing. Joel, if you're reading this, please finish this track once and for all!
There are those who see; Those who see when shown; those who don't see at all.
Thank you for this video.
can u upload the video where he makes "GG" or tell me the date so i try to find it and download it
+1 💚
Somfay - A Catch in the Voice - is the album that taught me valuable lesson - modulation is the key to everything.
Joel is a master
05:15 and this starts getting oh so very good! so good...
I could watch deadmau5 streams all day....used to do it a lot lmao
Same. The ustream days
amaying chord progressions
simple lowpass saw pluck. simply amazing arrangement.
it works perfectly thank you so much
I miss this guys streams ☹️
This is my favourite video of his
How is this so good? I love the Arpeggio
this is fucking incredible
So interesting to watch how he makes his chords.
Feels like heaven.
he needs to release this
Straight gold right there
I loved hearing that analogue sound sing out on the higher notes, especially towards the end when he upped the octave.
THANK YOU A LOT!!!
This is the same project as the ‘Deadmau5 writes haunting chords then bins it’ video. Turns out he didn’t bin it :/
It's just a saw... but it sounds so good. How?
Amazing video
Thank you❤❤
What instrument does he usually use to make synth sounds? I know he uses serum but is there an instrument in ableton he attaches it to?
First bit of Automation by Jamiroquai sounds similar to his arp riff. Had to come back 3 weeks later just to make sure it wasn't the same thing haha
I love doing this.
Immense! I need to learn this
THE VIBES
This is crazy!
When you have whole studio with hardware synths around you, which costs thousands of dollars but anyway you choose Serum. Thats why I don't use hardware at all :)
He does use those modular synths for the final sounds, but for sketching ideas he uses Serum to get the sound in the right ballpark.
Sounds like hit save, especially the older versions.
how did he route the arp from cthulu to serum? trying to do that on fl studio
Go into the options tools, set the ports of the midi to the same on the cthulhu and the synth u want to midi controll with cthulhu
Le Meow thanks, been wondering for a while
Wow wow Wow sounds so good musical genius ❤️❤️❤️
This might sound like a stupid question, but what's the advantage of using Cthulu vs using the arpeggiator built into the synth? Unless Serum doesn't have one in which case that explains everything
+TheLAOM you answer your own questions
Oskillator haha thank you good sir!
I also asked myself why they didn't implement one in Serum. I always use Sylenth1 for arps because of that.
Serum's LFO can be used as an arp when modulating OSC, Semi or Coarse. Serum definitely has arp capabilities, Cthulhu is just faster and more dynamic since it selects notes based on chord voicing where as Serum LFO modulates pitch based on intervals away from the current note being played akin to Sylenth's ARP or any other traditional ARP. Cthulhu is beast.
He could use the Arp-plugin coming with Ableton. He explains the advantages in his Masterclass but i'm not sure if i remember them correctly.
I think one advantage of cthulhu is beeing able to play additional notes. For example bass notes.
With the Ableton Arp it takes every midi note you play and plays them one after the other quickly.
As far as i remember Cthulhu takes a midi note and "arpeggiates" it, meaning it takes this as a root and takes for example a third and a fifth of this note (if you set it up this way) and repeats all of them.
So out of One Midi-Note you get a whole arp which makes it possible to add bass notes without them getting added to one of the steps of the arp.
I hope this makes kind of sense :D
Producer tip "Mix in mono" sounds "Mix in stereo, not in 3D" for Joel
listen to the chord progression at 0:58 then listen to the very beginning chord progression in Kanye West's "Bound 2" =)
plz release this some day ;(
I guess it was a base project for "Saved", check it out
Funny, I watched this after your click-bait video of him "binning" some chords and hey! there they are.
that's those deadmau5 chords for ya....i got another binning video coming right up for ya!
destiny respawn logo ahgaghhga i loved that game...
What exactly does ctulhu do? And when i spotted it right he linked the output of said plugin to serum?
It's an arpeggiator
It picks which parts of the chord to arpeggiate and in what order to do do so
Awesome!
Serum is a beast of a synth!! Cthulhu not to shabby either :)
Oh my god that arp....
4:27 - 4:38 i just fucking lost my mind right there. LOOORD AND BEEHOOOLD
This synth sounds good...
*This is a drunk rant*
He does a fantastic job at making music but he has no room to criticise other artists when he does the same shit over and over again (slow ass intros with either piano or filtered saw chords, sometimes arpeggiated). Someone who can criticise, Flume, is an artist who admitted in an interview that he wanted to do the same old hip hop style music with nice chords and vocals, but he said in order to keep progressing he had to try something new.. Hence the new style in his Skin album which is offbeat and random, with amazing sound design... Someone, I may regrettably say due to backlash, deadmau5 could not live up to if he stayed the same (depending on your taste it could be a different story which I respect fully). Mind you, deadmau5 and Flume are absolute legends to each their own, and I hope one day that either I or anybody watching this video will meet them in business matters. Good luck with your music production guys/girls. Live that dream.
(I assume we're all producers here because I doubt any normal person would give two shits about a Serum session)
KURU its his own style while other pop acts just jump on whats hot
KURU KURU KURU lol? Are you fucking serious? You do know Joel was amongst the first who entered this Genre? Copying? You obviously haven't follow his work, it has been different in each album~ he is more focus on sound design and 'quality', flume on the other hand makes you think he is doing something new, while idiots like you are mislead (Has a different groove cause hiphop is like that) don't hate on Joel, he begun edm shit when It analogue synths was newly introduce, and internet shit wasn't even that well known. You can't compare him to 'spinnin' producers where they share EVERYTHING from instruments to structure while only changing 1-2 notes in each song. Fucking fool just stfu. Let me also remind you, it's not just about creating serum patches and putting them together, but also 'mixing' there's where the magic lies, what you see is a mere 5-10% of what goes on
if you think flume is 'edm shit' kindly fuck off
I was talking about him repeating his style, not changing it. Deadmau5 has changed, duh, but barely, especially in comparison to Flume, who in the matter of an album went from smooth R&B synths to meticulously delayed drums, incredible ambience, and his own original designed sounds (he did design pretty much all of his synths in the firsts album as well)... I don't really want to debate with you when I drunkenly and kindly put forth that I respect deadmau5 fully, I was just putting forward my opinion which you don't have the patience or common courtesy to respect. You kind of went off track with the producers and Spinnin' records. I didn't mention that at all, nor did I imply Flume or deadmau5 were below or on that level. Thanks for reminding me about mixing, I would've never known until you told me, you omniscient master of music you. I've studied DAW production for two years now.
P.S.
Listen to Sleepless by Flume (one of his first songs he was known for) , then listen to Helix (released on his most recent album) then tell me how much he's misleading supposed idiots like myself.. Barely any producers can reproduce his work. He's not just a Hip Hop producer, he's a hybrid of many genres, and you can never deny that.
But as a producer or artist you have to establish your own "sound," which Joel as opposed to others has definitely done... yet again i understand it was a drunk rant haha
And the very next day I got abelton.
Repeat this.
Repeat this
Repeat this
Repeat this
crazy that he makes sounds like that just by manipulating the saw wave
Wheres the video where he tells how to make a good effects chain?
Nice!
