“as it has highly distorted sound”, just like his Earls Court gig.
Couldn’t hear the music for the bass. We gave up and left early, it actually sounded better in the foyer but we’d already made up our minds to leave.
Reflecting on it I’m not sure why I thought it would be good live. (The highlight in fact was a DJ, Zane Lowe who for me outshone the other artists on the bill.)
Apologies for dragging up the old story but I don’t consider him to be a DJ.
Really enjoyed his first album but after some of the comments I’ve read I’ve lost all respect for him. :(

he has no ass. lol

Richard, you absolutly right, im in the same boat here…….he has made some idiotic comments and his music suck bad (maibe a few tracks of his 1st album)……sorry who likes him!!!!!

gives a whole new meaning to turning your back on the audience

So sick of this a-hole and all his negative comments toward Dj’s. I could give a rats ass what he plays on.

Hm, I’m not sure about the earls court gig having too much bass – I was there, and the sound wasnt great, but it was actually more due to a lack of volume thanks to noise regs. I actually know the noise pollution guy who checked the venue sound emission levels, and they disconnected half the subwoofers before the gig even started. Also, secondly, the quality of sound in a venue really has very little to do with the artist – down to the in-house techs.

[...] Over the weekend at Toronto’s Veld Music Festival, Deadmau5 showed off part of brand new live performance setup (see below for full video) that features a massive touch screen with controls for individual note triggering as well as loop triggering… Read more [...]

i hate seeing people play whilst they stare at laptops. now i have to stare a their back while they look at a bigger screen. not for me thanks.

still boring.

Seems like he’s presenting a business strategy in a meeting,
He needs a laser pointer.

giant touchscreen ableton setup? he’s just really about this button pushing thing huh? boring performance, he looks bored too

it looks interesting and I can see that he’s trying to move in new directions but it could still use some improvements. It looks rather simple (in a bad way) and there’s really no reason to have your back to the audience as the display isn’t that interesting.

Now he pushes GIANT buttons. YAAAAAAYY!!! -___-

iPod can do the same thing, just plug and play what “they” recorded

What idiotic comments? Because basically he said “unless you are really pushing the envelope of DJing, you pretty much arent doing shit”? I totally agree with him! The fact the guy speaks his mind is great and isnt afraid to let someone know when they act or say something stupid. Haters are gonna hate.

Have you ever seen him play live? Do you know what his setup consists of behind the cube? Probably not since you made such a daft comment. He is doing more at a show than probably 99% of people, I would actually go as far as saying 100% of people/dj’s you listen to and see. Dont talk shit when you first have no idea what you are talking about you fucking moron.

Dont be jealous cause he’s more successful than you. Like I said before, do you know exactly what his setup is and how he uses it? I would guess you dont judging by your dumb ass remark. Now if there is anyone pushing buttons its probably you. He does more on stage than you will ever even get close to doing in your “music” career.

What negative comments? That beat matching is easy as fuck, which it is, and basically DJing “is” pressing buttons? If you want respect from him start pushing the boundaries. I’m a DJ too (just like the rest of us here) and I dont get offended by his comments at all. Why? Because they are true!

i don’t know why he wouldn’t just want to use the emulator dual view system from SmithsonMartin.

seems that the emulator isn’t responsive enough was the reason to not use it (watched a recording of a ustream)

This Matt Smith guy really loves deadmau5…

Didn’t this guy rant about just pressing play?

Steve Lawler posted a tweet last week about people who crowd round the back of the dj box at gigs and how they need to get out front and enjoy the show! I agree.This setup essentially makes the whole audience behind the box…I like mau5 but this is a not a great move, alright for a one off show but I’m not at his gigs to watch ableton and a jumbo sized iPad running touchOSC. For me it gets me thinkiing about what effects and how hes technically mixing and moves my attention away from the actual music. When push comes to shove, he’s actually a skilled DJ/Producer he just needs to stop all the “look at me” bulls*&t and get back to basics…I love that screen though, I can see one of them in my studio lol

Isn’t this him just showing what he uses, not a real show? So at a show he whould be facing the crowd as normal and not using a screen that is so big. Everyones a fucking critic. sheesh

Lol, look at the troll. I actually do know what he uses since the company I work with MADE the programming and hardware he uses. His custom made touchscreens, daw, and ableton is a simple set up alot of djs use “live”. Oh and I’m on tour. Actually djing in Okinawa, Japan tonight. No button production over here. Technics 1200s and vinyl.

Funny how there is someone who always says HATER!! lol, so if people don’t like something they are a hater? No, they just don’t like it. But if what you say is true then you are the ultimate hater on DJTT since you are commenting negatively on everyone’s posts. Lame ass troll with nothing better to do. How about you show us what YOU do? yea, didn’t think so.

YOU have no idea what he’s using. Eb4ever is right. It is just a projected touchscreen with Ableton synced. His performance is boring and he mostly stands around, fist pumps, and claps his hands. Maybe most djs YOU watch don’t do shit…but where I’m from DJs still run vinyl, do battles, and make music live. When I’m done djing I’m sweating. Just because you sit in your room and pretend to be a DJ doesn’t mean the rest of us do. Troll

Ignore that feeb. He’s been “hating” on everyone’s comments but still has no idea what he’s talking about.

And cock

I worked a few events with the guys who developed the Emulator. Never seen any problem. Issue is this clown uses Ableton linked into his performance. Emulator has it’s own control software. The TouchOSC is nothing but a midi mapping program so it works easy with Ableton. Just map it and go. The buttons are set up to trigger the next audio clip, not the actually music. The music is recorded and timed with the lights/pyro so they don’t want to risk stuff being off timing.

Maybe YOU push buttons but some don’t. Beat matching is still a skill that some people just can’t learn. It’s easy to those who can do it naturally and/or been djing for awhile. But for him to say it’s easy when ALL OF HIS MUSIC IS THE SAME BPM AND EDITED, makes him an idiot. His whole Ableton set is recorded in timing with the lights and pyro. He doesn’t play the music. The TouchOSC just triggers clips and effects. I know his setup and who built it.

Troll

P.S – I have a Masters in music production which included Ableton, protools, reason, logic, and midi controlling. I’m also a technician who can make touchscreens and coding for programs like what he uses (TouchOSC). So from an educated and experienced DJ perspective, you’re a troll. Get off Deadfags nuts. Techno is all the same shit anyway. Generally 120-130 BPM with the same BUMP BUMP BUMP. Soooo hard to mix. lol. Not. Get lost lame.
