how to make a "deadmau5" styled song

Midi files for pluck keys and three piece drum for your convenience.

PS:BPM is 125

..did you do that demo, annode?

Yes...I did do the demo. It's the original tune on 1 trk mixed in and low pass EQ'd just to provide the low end,which I didn't get to do.
The keys I used was the DX10 from fruity plying the plucking sounds.
The drms were not used except for maybe snare and hi-hats...forget.

I wanted to re-do the whole tune and show how it was done,but I had some major trouble. I wasn't able to pull up the DX10 in nuendo for some reason...so I used chainer as an instrument host.That hosted the DX10 in nuendo but now chainer can't be channeled through for automation! So That's why I didn't continue. Sorry about that.

I posted the little I had just for the midi I wrote.
Glad to hear it was of some use.

thanks for all your help by now im happy for every new post

Sounds as if you used maybe a side chain compressor on the organ like keys?
An easy and inexpensive compressor specialized for SC and straight threw pumping is "the compadre beat puncher"

Not sure if anyone already knew this but FL Studio is actually want he uses....

[bosconianarts]

I can confirm that FL studio use. Funny thing, when I was talking to him, I sorta made fun of the program before I realized he used it. When I told him I used Cubase, he said he hated Cubase because you couldn't sidechain in it (even after trying to explain that it's not that hard to do within the Cubase environment).

In any case, I just finished my progressive house track. I think it emulated the progressive house style as it sounds in recent times. I constructed this track using many other artists and songs as guidelines (not solely relying on Deadmau5).

Just before I post a link to my track, I think it should be said that Deadmau5 tracks are very simple. A few sessions of listening yielded a piece of paper with a formula that 90% of his tracks follow. 32bar intro, 32bar breakdown, etc... Once you have that, it's easy to construct a Deadmau5 song (arrangement wise).

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who did this

Here is my take on it. The main synth will be out soon through FXpansion, the sidechain bus compressor is already out as part of BFD2. The reverb is the built in one in Live.

I made my version of the plucked chords in NI:Pro-53. Heres what I came up with.

How can I get the snare and the kick of deadmau5 style?


I cant find them in the sound library!


Can anyone explain how to create these specific sounds?


that would be great

[fceramic]

WTF is so great about Deadmau5???? Am I taking the crazy pill here?

Make your own damn music instead of copying lame, boring, unoriginal house music that has the same 2 seconds looping for 5 minutes. The world has truly gone nutters.
