All language subtitles for 12-20 - On Stage The Music - deadmau5 Teaches Electronic Music Production

The live versions of the songs are

Different

Soniclean then you hear on the record because

There are some things that I can

Replicate live

That that would have been on a produced record one being kind of

My math

Master output

So my master output I don't have

The same kind of mastering chain

On everything like we were discussing

For that

Goes out

Because what what is happening is those all the individual outputs of those tracks are coming into

An analog mixer

And that analog mixer is thumbing

The parts

So

So the mix is slightly different

It's honestly at

Concert level volume you can't tell I can't tell nobody can't

But

I try my best to match

The live equipment that I'm using live to

Emulate or be like

What it is on the record so

I Don't Stray too

Far from

Like change drums up in

Entirely

Create whole new melodies

Stuff like that

Know all that stuff

Stays exactly the

Some levels might have been off a bed as I'm

Adjusting the track or getting ready for the next track

S***

You do accidentally knock

Vader with a beer something you know like that should happen

X

You know there are some

My Nerdist

Ultimate

My performances aren't I

DJ set

So I can't

Play

You know I can't I can't hear some kids screaming play ghosts and stuff

The front and then immediately

Going to go send stuff like a band

The duration of pre-recorded versus live is is 121 I mean it is all pre-recorded

That's the nature of electronic music

Unless you're

You know improving with life

Analog

Sequencers

But I've always had the saying that you can do

100

Send live EDM really good for a very short amount of time after that it's

Because

Did the songs change after

4 minutes or 5 minutes or something like that so

You would have to shut down all your life gear

Kind of put your finger up in the air load up all new sequences home in patches

For all that gear and you know maybe if you're lucky 45 minutes later everything will boot up again and then you could

Could do the next track and it would sound different than the first

So

Printed audio helps in the sense that you can have a bed of all everything going

Going at once and you can pick and choose you know what you want in and

And we're at that point but

The other

Pitfall

Doing it live life and I mean otter precent live is that

That there would be no communication in there between you and what's playing on

Video and when and how

Or with motion control with some of the mechanics and Robotics happening onstage and all that stuff all that

Stuff you have to throw out the window because

You can't do that

So

You know

I'm not the first then and I won't be the last

To to program shows

So course I got s*** on by already played the same set

It's not a set it has nothing to do with

That's that I mean it it's a show is its Adam programmed

Thing

Now I could just as easily

Tayk

Be at home here in the studio and produce a show render it out to a stereophile

And then just play that stereophile in and just be there for the sake of

Being there I guess you know like

I don't think anyone would really notice the

I don't

What I do is I load up

The project file

The song that I'm performing and in doing that instead of playing you know a CD of

Branded audio track it gives me a lot more control to do things

With the music

Which

Not a lot of people take note of but

For my sanity of being up there for 75 minutes to an hour

Or more is

You know it gives me something to do

And I like to kind of challenge myself and create

Different

Slightly altered versions of the

The songs that everyone is familiar with Augustine

I guess

Expected mostly

Play

In

Be able to

Take that and then have the the dog

Being used as snot

Really an instrument but as kind of a

CD player Plus

Meaning that you know I can

Play audio data

Go into a 32-channel mix console so I'll have all my stems and parts like kind of rough down

To about maybe 8 to 16 channel

Perch rack and then have all the levels where I can do live adjustment

And

Parts with that hattersync lead in them or or some kind of

Baseline or base drone or

Pat or anything like that

I could remove that

From the original project file and then send the midi data out

2

Synthesize

And have a synthesizer

To do it

Any advantage to doing that versus having the Audioslave

Playing while it goes while it does just for safety sake in case that's in

Besides

Take your crap

Push the original

IPad backup

But

What what I can do then is then I can modify parameters to that one specific

Text sound on that device right then and there so

You know if I want to

You know

Put an elephant on a pad or something like that having playing at

Icdl that you can't do that

It's All or Nothing

So you either filter their whole song or you don't

That's

What DJing

He is so

We're doing it that way I can lend you know

Control or change patches of

Certain instruments since that are that are

Are playing at that time and do that

And then

Also when I'm producing a track I keep in mind always even from

You know from the early stages of even finishing the track or halfway through it

I keep things in mind like oh you know I'm going to want to perform this live at one point so I should really make Note 2

To use this

Since or something like that because then I can

Pull that off the shelf

You know how to live show and then and then

Have that same sin playing with

Corresponds

The same type of audience

That's just something

Can I keep in mind

I don't come out of the gate

F****** just

Throwing huge Basin in

Crazy Rhythm and you know just really loud sounds I like to swell.

I like the kind of come on pretty subtly and just let things build up for a bit and then maybe like start out at

After couple minutes with no

Just some kind of precursor to what's to come kind of thing and then and then that's how I choose tracks

Set

I mean nobody in their right mind ever started a

Asset with just

Okay

Play number one hit

If I can get it over with and then start doing all this other stuff

Obviously different moods are going to create by even if you're playing the exact

Different order you're going to

I could dictate between what

What ultimately was perceived as a good show or a badger

I think about things like that and I and I try to

Incorporate the silences and breaks or very quiet hearts and you know

Semi strategic spots

So that you know

Okay well these kids have been jumping around for the last like you know

15-20 minutes non-stop to these hits

They don't want to be having their feet off the floor the whole hours so let's

Kind of like

Make aloe here and

Set up the next

You know kind of thing

I usually Endocet with

You know I track that means alot to me

Because

The other last song whether it's

In my case

It's more fun than hot

It's got to be

Astrobrights

The ntrack should be your

Your

Magnus obituary

Your this is

What they're going to remember

So you're open or has to be something in your clothes are has to be something

Specialty because

When you're closing out your you're

You're starting that gap between you and the next guy

So

People don't talk about halfway through years

And nobody gets a f*** about halfway through you said they don't remember

I don't remember it I couldn't tell you what the middle song is in

Any of my son

And everyone throughout musical history is

F****** taken advantage of that

It's like we're talking

Everyone from

Young Mozart

Tonight Inch Nails does it too and in all those you do old metal thrash bands that you know

Would f****** destroy their instruments at the end and then and that's what you took home and that's what you talked about

Your friend

Smashed all this s*** up and it was great even though it was all like Fake Gear or whatever it doesn't matter you know

It's it's all about you know the starting in the end

Those are the kind of moment you need to make

Happen
