One of two things usually happens in producing music. You listen to your own beat over and over on repeat until it starts to sound good, or you listen to it on repeat until you decide it sounds like shit, delete it and start over! Lol
M P find a trusted first listener. Someone with good taste who won’t bullshit you
This is so true!
Fact
glad im not the only one thinking this hah
I usually do the latter.
Seeing "Untitled *" on such a masterpiece hurts my brain.
*ableton crashes after forgetting to save*
people dont usually name the songs before they make them
unless they title it something specific
@@choncho7309 It was less about it not being named and more about it not being saved. Imagine if he'd lost it :)
@@chrisevans5176 that makes more sense
I just love the way how Joel waveringly moves the mouse around (as for example in 5:34), seemingly having the perfect sound already in his head, undetermined where to begin and which knob to turn in first. This is what you can observe in interlectually gifted people, overeagerly solving problems. Brilliant guy!
great observation
he's have to kick you off first... :)
He's not gifted he's just had a lot of practice and has been doing it for years, it's a skill, anyone can learn it.
GoProAdventures bullshit... give dude credit.... NOT everyone can dedicate themselves to the amount of practice it takes to become great at something
actually, he just wanted to switch the automation of filter cutoff from bi-directional to uni-directional, but first clicked on "fx" tab, then back on "osc", then on "global" and only then he went to "matrix" tab and changed it.
I have no experience in electronic music making (or any music for that matter) but i still find this interesting to watch for some reason 👀
Your profile picture is so cutr 😂😂
For me watching this makes me want to know how to do this
@@doctordrizzles1281 Learn music theory, then do lots of interval and chord experimentation
14:55 the pitch change to perfection
Funny how you say that because since he changed the pitch of these chords for Imaginary Friends, I'm using the chords shown here for a song I'm working on. XD I just love the way it sounds SO much. :')
Playlist should be named "Watch Joel casually make a masterpiece in one sitting"
It must feel amazing to know what you are doing and what is your purpose in life and having the feeling that you own significant piece of the EDM World.
Deadmau5's music is so godly that I never get tired of it. Even after years of listening to "Remember Me" and other of his hits.
@J.B. Studios he's heard it so much he doesnt even *Remember*
He doesn’t feel any different than you. He has insecurities, doubts, flaws and all of the same stuff you feel and I feel
@@JuankQuinteroMejia That's true, hahahahaha
@@obowurx6625 Maybe, but still he found his true purpose in life, which is something we are all trying to find in our lives to live more happily.
@@NamFlowEN Yeah, precisely.
always amazing to watch him work. As someone who's followed the mau5 for years and also now uses Ableton these vids are soooo helpful! Thanks!
14:54
When 71c became Imaginary Friends
LOL true :)
This is amazing! thanks for sharing
Damn, thx for uploading this!
it feels so mesmerizing watching a masterpiece like this sloooowly being made
This is pretty damn fast tbh
Very simple and basic! But the beauty is the sound design and the mix...! Awesome!
Love that he's putting Cthulhu on that. How he got that sequence. All this time, I imagined he did his chord shortening trick to get that arpeggio. Thanks for posting this!
Great to see how he automated all of the happy accidents he found while tweaking. Kudos! It just shows me how much I need to stop being lazy
Cthulhu is such a fucking life saver
Rick Elliott Did he play the song on this stream or what?
@@lee.is.here1 yeah
15:16
You're a bit of a legend for uploading these now to be honest. 🤑
Thanks for optimizing Deadmau5's livestream dude! This helps tremendously!
Thanks Brother....i wanted a reason to watch all of them....and I edit videos for a living so.....boom here it is!
gotta love windows 7 high performance mode lol
its windows 98
jay hawkins ever heard of Windows Aero theme?
its win 7 i think?
nize that fam, its windows 9
i said that
Deadmau5 trick is making very distinct warm sounds for his simple bass melodies it gets very catchy
I could watch Joel do this all day.
yes that is his name
In 30 minutes, I would've probably made my first patch in serum.
* Police siren
Wow, you are going too fast there bud.
beautiful.
17:34 just found that this thing "i met a new friend" cames from Donnie Darko
I'm so blown away by the origin of this song. I never knew why Deadmau5 named the track Imaginary Friends..
Initially, it was called 71c.
@@skarryprankhunter Indeed, and it consisted of this chord progression here. I love the way the chords are when they were originally in F major, so much so that I'm using the same chords for a song that I'm working on! Not to say that I don't like Imaginary Friends, because I love it, but the first 3 minutes of this video make me picture SO many things in my head, and I want to capture a similar feeling. Or at least, that's what my goal is.
@@justalpha9138 Good luck, then!
@@justalpha9138 did u do it?
@@Ayoubfad I did at first, but I was struggling so much to come up with ideas. I'm now using chords in A flat major. :)
This is like finding free gold
Psy Trance Z1 Tutorials as opposed to a jewelry store?
Fookin incredible
I wonder how many hours goes into him making a completed track. He makes it look like he can crank out a track per day.
He's been doing it for years so he mastered what we call "The Work Flow".It is amazing to see for sure.
His long arrangements, for an intermediate producer at least, could take anywhere from 20 hours (if seamless) to 100 hours. It's all about cycling through concepts and finding the right ones. As the one response said, he's mastered work flow, so his long arrangements probably take him a day or two. Fucking crazy.
He could probably crank out a song every 2 days. But, he has tons of other things going on. Also, there's only so hard you can grind before you're like, "Fuck it, I'm not touching Ableton for a week."
Austin Ivey sound design is the one thing that fucks me up more than anything. Anyone have tips for that? I guess more wavetable and presets so i can at least get my ideas down?
Usually its like that, but often you don't see the 10 days of fiddling with song concepts
2:37 wait is it called imaginary friends because of this sub?
That would be very cool
That wasn't a text to speech donation, That was a sound joel put as a notification
It's from the movie Donnie Darko
sweet Intro c:! you earned a new sub
niron lol oscilator didn't make this... A guy called Deadmau5 did. The person who uploaded this vid only edited it...
And this is the intro to a FAMOUSE song called Imaginary Friends by a famous guy called Deadmau5.
Thank you for sharing! = )
thanks for watching....i'm glad there are other out there that geek out to his production skills as much as I do....subscribe. i'll be posting more.
I'm Subscriber = ) Thank you.
+Electro Music Sound Container thanks friend!
I got the Deadmau5 Master Class ad when I opened this.
Its good but if you already have an intermediate understanding ( which you can get on youtube) it's not worth 90 bucks . If you really want to go through the time though you can just watch a few more of his livestreams you can more or less get how he works
This is a cardinal sin of EDM right here
@@jakebutler1095 I would kind of disagree. That MasterClass completely changed my perspective on music making forever so I think it's totally worth the money and time.
Alberton9 in 2017 + windows95 style = one of the best dj\sound producer in a world.
can't believe I never realized that voice part's from donnie darko fuck yeah donnie darko
15:57
Ha HA! I was just listening to this!
Man those automations are music to my ears
Here is interesting this bug 9:30 constantly appears when selecting a part of the track, if you use a Serum with Cthulhu. And no matter what DAW you use.
I really liked Cypher 1:55, wish that would have made the final cut.
i love u joel.
06:16 whoops lol
71C!!!!
This hits and fits so perfectly to the song 17:30 SOOOOO goood! makes me miss the old days
2:36 as well
he is literally a genius
nice synth he is using in the beginning :)
but just the sound :D
Sound Factory what do u mean with just the sound ? The synth is the sound
That's why I love ❤️ serum because it so powerful
You could do the same thing on any subtractive synth, it's a very basic patch
That sound was possible ten years ago in sylenth1
When he finally finds the right arpeggio pattern at 15:57! Heaven
this is the cardinal sin of edm
Damn that's one sexy melody
Looks like a custom PureData patch :D
is the reason why its called this because his subscriber noise is that phrase?
cthulhu is such a life saver!
so i am not the only one with imaginary friends...
good to know
Imagine making a song on livestream and someone else copies it and releases it before you do
Joel makes it look so easy
the making of 71c
god
The thing that makes Deadmau5 so amazing is the fact that he prefers spending a ridiculous amount of time making the sound design and the melody design rather than anything else.. He just focuses on doing great few things than slapping a ton of shitty things together in a hope of gettint a good end result.
Shot fired to every dubstep/trap producers.
The only things what is the end result not time spent on project!!!!!
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. His sound design is extremely simple, his melodies are pretty good I guess. But dubstep producers probably spend THE MOST TIME designing their sound out of all producers since the bass is like 80 per cent of the track.
I Em Gote very wrong. dubstep is naturally a very chaotic genre. there’s no right way of making it but most of them just throw a bunch of growls into a loop and call it a day. very rarely do they use 1 patch as a continuous phrase
HiddenFoxe 1 That’s the point. The patches successful dubstep producers use are individually very intricate, and all of them together make for a whole lot of sound design. Sure you can just throw some random growls from a sample pack together, but that’s most likely not going to fit right with whatever the sample selection may be. Your point is valid, but not when it comes to good dubstep producers.
I Em Gote yeah i’d agree with that
So basically at 4.43 he's routing audio from SH101 to Cthulhu to Serum?
14:47 PogChamp
This is what happens when you dive too deep within the Serum!
You give me purpose. ...
ты лучший бро!
I was playing this at half speed like “the chords sound good but why does it sound like shyt” lol
Why did I get stuck on Cubase. Really annoys me that I'm forced to use Windows Aero theme and waste all that RAM, CPU and graphics performance 😡
I haven't had the chance to use any other sequencer so can't really compare all the features, sorry. From what I've seen in other sequencers, it is pretty much the same, just a different layout. It's suited to pretty much any task too. Recording and tracking, production, mixing, mastering and editing audio for video (although you are forced to use a specific Apple .mov codec with specific encoding settings to be able to play back video smoothly). The only thing I dislike is the fact Aero theme in Windows needs to be enabled by default, so it's using unnecessary resources.
Love this track! Gotto learn to produce alfa quicker. A long way to this mega premium level...
That SH101 plugin looks like a super primitive version of Serum, like a pre-pre-alpha
+Zxios it's pre-alpha strobe 2 apparently
Interesting.
Lol. If the clock is correct, he made the song at 3:35 AM.
Fcking latenight Producer
Me he visto toda esta serie de vídeos mínimo unas 5 veces y no me de escuchar a Joel produciendo.
hello i have fedora and trillby
71c másterpiece
He makes it look so easy.. Meantime, I try this an everything sounds weak and like shit..
Is he making friends with his songs again??
Anyone else realize he’s doing this at 4am
Ngl, I kinda like how Imaginary Friends sounded when it was called "71c". Still good nonetheless.
Check out the time in the bottom right lol
6:20 lesssgo
Damn...
love the intro of imaginay friends, it one of the best pieces i know, but afther te drop i dont like, its too shallow and empty, although it probably sounds fcking great on large speakers
Dude, once you hear that song live, you will take back any gripes you have with it. People have no idea what they're talking about. XD
@@justalpha9138 Saw him in Toronto doing a 1am to like 6am show shortly before he released this album. He played a lot of tracks off this album....Can confirm what JustAlpha said. If you ever get a chance go listen to him drop this live in a club where you can really feel the bass and hear all the little details. When its mid drop and cuts the drums and bass to go "Dun Dun Dun" at 2:58 when none of us there had even heard this song once I was like wtf is this masterpiece. The weight of that intro synth is heavy, don't think most realize how heavy it gets in the low end. Its up there as one of my fav deadmau5 songs. BTW can not recommend enough seeing him do a long after hours set.
@@Morphy_Music501 Exactly. The idea is simplistic for sure, but the production is SOO good
i wish i could make imaginary friends too :(
Windows XP? With a Windows 10 update available? At 3:30 in the morning? What is going on???
Amazing how dated the windows looks on this and it was only 8 years ago.
What VST is he using in the beginning? The black and white one
An alpha version of Cthulhu
screw alok! this is an piece of art! nobody should touch it :') I hate 2016 tomorrowland brazil....
Time to use serum
3:43.......WTH IS HE DOING AT 3:37 AM!!!!!!!!
Uhh...Hes at.. work? Lol
What if someone takes his idea as he's making it? Do the names of the tracks with the dates protect him? Those can be changed though, so is there a log in which you can see how many times/when/and what you changed a track name to? Otherwise I really don't see what's stopping anyone from stealing a live streamer's music.
Nocean true. Untill it comes out as an official release and is copyrighted, anyone can take it. Its just a risk he takes.
No, that is wrong. Copyright applies the moment a creative work is created. The second deadmau5 puts a note out of his head down onto the piano roll, it is protected from unauthorized copying and is his intellectual property.
So if he puts down a note c i cant release a note c :thonking:
Imagine thinking that you can get away with stealing from deadmau5... You'd probably find a C&D on your doorstep very soon.
@@squelchedotter How old are you? That's not how copyright works, it's an entire process to copyright something as your intellectual property
It's like if tool make edm
How did you get Cthulhu working with ableton?
what is the absynth preset he's using?
anyone know if that white synth has been released??
Probably not
Mmmmmmmmmmm when he turns the filter 👁👄👁
what is that absynth voice preset
when does the beat drop?
What is the synth at the start?
The beginning of this song is so goddamn good but I honestly don’t know what he was thinking for the rest. It takes such a crappy turn for the worst.
Jamieson Donnell the "crapy" part is only one seperated part of the whole song. The real finished song is not "crapy". You can listen to it by serching up Imaginary friends on your music streaming platform.
@@elliott7268
but if i search imaginary friends, i only get the crappy one
@@captainvoluntaryistthestat3207 Ok then. Thats a matter of your opinion.
@@elliott7268
I thought you meant there's another version with just the intro of the song, so that's why I searched. Found nothing.
Yeah I understand. The drop feels...underwhelming.
What's with the old school Windows layout?
Better performance I guess? Aesthetics or both? 😁
@@gustavocomparone Yeah, I think I saw someone say he runs it on performance mode which makes sense.
Which music c software is he using for this video
Ableton Live
Abletonlive which edition 10 or9
What Virtual synth is that he's using in beginning?
"It's named sh101 which is a popular old synth. Now I'm not sure if deadmau5's is a 101 emulator or if it's just another synth duda made for him with that name or what. But there are some good public sh101 emulators, the d16 lush 101 is a notable one. There is the TAL Bassline 101 (there's a decent free version of that too) but some say these aren't the best emulators. Also there is a Roland sh101 vst that comes with system-1. Hope this helps :)"
credits to LogoMyEggo on deadmau5's subreddit.
Thanks I have the Roland.
It's Strobe by FXpansion. It's a pre-release copy without the final gui. It's part of DCAM Synth Squad which also includes Cypher which I also saw him using here.
it's an alpha version of Strobe2 by fxpansion i've heard.
I remember that in his masterclass he said it's an emulation plugin of the famous Roland SH101 written for him excusively by Steve Duda
Better than the actual song.
I dunno, Imaginary Friends is a great song, but if nothing else, I myself am using these original chords (because I love them so much) for a song that I'm working on. I just didn't want these chords to be tossed away any longer!
@@markh.876 Perhaps. Regardless, I do like Imaginary Friends a lot. I'm just curious to see where I'll take the song's original chords.
6:15
YO he shuts his animations and shit off for high performance, too. idk why when you could easily afford 64gb of ram lol
