In this video, via RAZER, house music producer Joel Zimmerman, aka Deadmau5, & Steve Duda discuss mastering and routing on his new track Imaginary Friends.
In part 1 of the video series, Zimmerman & Duda looked at structuring the piece.
DeadMau5 is a musical genius !
He’s apparently also a misogynistic prick, from what I’ve heard
Sir, gossip gets up nowhere, cite your references!
how about this for starters?

I don’t know man, not a very well written article. I think misogyny takes a minimum level of intelligence. Dumb people doing dumb things online isn’t that… It’s just sad.
After actually watching that video, I feel kinda bad for the guy. He seems very depressed to me, and making acerbic comments online correlates well with that. It’s not hard to imagine. Being trapped in a world where I had to make the same song over and over again, to keep explaining the same 3 audio engineering 101 techniques on endless videos… sounds like he’s in his own personal hell right now. Kinda feel bad for the guy, used to listen a lot circa 2005. Had a lot of promise, could have been better, too bad, crazy world.
“I think misogyny takes a minimum level of intelligence” is such a weird statement to make. How about racism? Homophobia? Does one have to be a little bit intelligent to hate those different from themselves? Are all unintelligent people afraid of those different from themselves?
no he is definitely not a goddamn genius! maybe is all about your poor perspective mate!
Steve Duda is the genius here…sorry but it’s true
Deadmau5 is very funny too.
Ableton with the tool tips turned on. LOL
Obviously, he got this laptop just before filming this video and simply installed fresh copy of Ableton, Serum and couple of plugs (you can see almost empty VST browser in Ableton) just to show and promote the product. Obviously its not his workstation, so Ableton is in default state (tips are on).
6 years in, i still find little surprises in that window!
i’ve used ableton since v2 and i still keep those on half the time. i swear, people would hate on this guy for sneezing.
At least this time he has some patch cords plugged into his modular.
Amazing what passes for ‘expert’ these days.
Well, in the context of producing EDM, and touring that internationally, while earning a living from a combined revenue and being a recognizable icon in that process, maybe he is an ‘expert’. I guess your ‘expert’ standards are higher than most. If you cut him he will bleed, tattoo ink, but he will bleed.
I would class an expert as someone how knows what they and saying or doing, what has he still got to to do to make him an ‘expert’ in your eyes? Write a song you like? It’s all about you. But, I thank you for your ‘expert’ opinion all the same.
would be nice to see what’s in his “secret folder” in ableton (5:25 onwards) đŸ˜‰
You can like or dislike his music but his records are selling like hell and his shows are always soldout. Yes, he his a reference in modern electronic music.

THIS IS WHTYPEOPLE IS COMPLETELY IGNORANT IN WHAT REAL MUSIC IS!
EDM is >NOT Music at all is just random noise for disturbed losers.
Steve Duda, he always looks so chilled out and calm. đŸ™‚ ….and he makes some of my favorite plugins!
Cheers!
To be fair he’s done ok for somebody that started off wearing a giant mouse head with eyes that flashed to the beat. Pretty cringy but it obviously paid off. Welcome to the world of the modern dj!
Fantastic studio though!
I appreciate the honesty. “The DeadMau5 pluck is basically 4 clicks away from the default setting”.
At least he’s up and sharing his how to in some way, I don’t care for him or his music but enjoyed watching this I’m always keen to find out differant approaches to ableton especially mastering, thanks for sharing. Oh by the way I’ve always had the help window on for the last 6 years I’ve just never bothers to turn it off haha
So much gear in a studio room and the only tool he use for his music is his laptop..
? This is a marketing video for Razer, not a heavily thought out Deadmau5/Duda tutorial production. It’s to sell laptops. I’m sure they’re well paid to attach names to product.
