That sample cd is really bad in my opinion, only a few useful things ..

People who hate deadmau5 due to their obvious envy issues are funny...

I created this after hearing Tiny Dancers. Then posted this after seeing this thread. Huh.

Sorry, can't help but be amused by the 'envy' argument. Seriously, envy?

While we're on the topic of the "Deadmau5 sound".

But in all seriousness, i think that confirms my conspiracy theory. That Deadmau5 was a leftfield marketing tool placed in the dance scence by FXPansion in order to promote & create a groundswell of anticipation about there upcoming product release.

It went down like this....

Scene:
It's a dark cold Canadian night, and a skinny internet warrior is meeting with some English software developers.

"So, we here you've got some programming chops & make a bit of music, what are you working on"

"Well I've been helping my mate Adam with some of his tracks, I think he might be onto something"

Suits listen to the tracks

"Yeah this is some good stuff...do you reckon you could make it"

"Yeah, yeah..it's pretty easy, just alot of saws"

"Saws you reckon...well let me tell you, this new product we're developing has the best saws ever, it'll be perfect"

Suits hand over a DVD labelled "SS V1(a)"

"This is only an alpha test, have a play around, make some of that stuff you've got there and get back to us. If we like it, we might have some big plans for you"

As the skinny kid leaves the suits pull him up...

"Hey, this stays between us yeah"

The kid rushes home and installs the new software & gets working with some of his mate Adam's grooves.

Scene:
FXpansion Towers, London - six months later.

The kid sits with the suits, he hands over a flash drive wiht a bunch of tracks, all very similar, but all made with the new super software.

"This is really good. Exactly what we were after...

Ok here's the deal. With these tracks we can make you a star. We've spoken to our fiends in Denver, as well as Pete, and they've organised to give you all the exposure you'll need. With our plan now implemented, you'll make alot of money, tour the world and we pull of the greatest piece of marketing ever. All you have to do is keep making these tracks, just like this so it becomes 'your sound', and then when we tell you, mention in an interview that you made your music with our software. Because of your popularity, everyone we will be eager to get their hands on our software"

The kid sits back in amazement

"Wow thats a great plan guys, you've thought of everything. I just have on question. Won't people just ask on forums like KVR how to make the sound and people will tell them it actually quite easy, it's just alot of saws. Don;t get me wrong, your saws are great i had alot of fun with them but yeah..."

The suits look at each other and laugh manically

"This is the best part kid, because no one can ever really copy someone's sound exactly due to certain factors like EQ and so on, as well as our unique special saws you're using, people can explain perfectly, but no one will ever really get it exactly. They'll go around in circles...It's foolproof"

The suits let out another burst of spine-chilling laughter and slide some papers forward. They look forcefully into the his eyes and toss him a pen. The kid signs and gets up to leave. The suits look at each other knowing that the plan is finally set in stone.

As the kid leaves he stops at the door and turns back

"But what about Adam, I mean it was his..."

"Don't worry about him, he'll be fine. You're on your own now kid.
Look if you don't want him to know it's you...I don't know where a disguise or something".
