He’s respected enough to say whatever he wants, most other djs are afraid of damaging their names

to be fair, he's been like this from the beginning back when i discovered him in 2007. People have always been saying he's a d!ck head. But he kept it real. Maybe now he is finally starting to open up a bit more on other subjects@@yanchentao988

agreed, and that comes and bites him sometimes

@@imiccastill worth it for people to say what they really mean. Id rather someone hurt my feelings and allow me to recover from it, than lie to me forever.

Guess you also love his douchery. Honesty can be delivered with class and a modicum of respect at least.

Honestly fake

Honestly how shameless arrogant can he be !

Erm the only reason djs don't play live is because they can't.. Ever seen Carl cox fake it?

Most DJs wouldn't admit it. I never seen a problem with it. It's more of a producer than DJ, but if you move the crowd, you move the crowd. No titles needed. DJ, producer, musician... He plays and creates music and people dance and like it.

*cough* occularcentrism *cough*

I'm surprised nobody has not taken notice of how he performs live. He knows how to DJ. But he prefers to play live with Ableton. Zeds Dead has done this, and Noisia. CDJ's are fun, But they are limiting, of course DJing is an art and has it's pros and cons. I know guys who have hybrid setups that use both Ableton and Rekordbox/Serato, etc. Ableton has something called LINK which allows you to sync both the DJ software and Ableton and use ableton as a drum machine, sampler, etc. Spices up things. But Joel actually uses hardware in his sets, not just mixing two songs together.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a5Z-laR-l9DXdKc.html

Well said... Even though the likes of Jeff Mills, Derrick May, Robert Hood, and Carl Cox are still DJing.... they don't make them like that anymore... Actual DJing is slowly becoming a lost artform... when it was about 2 or even 3 turntables and a mixer... It's all about the equipment and laptops and pad controllers... Sad to see

Lol underated comment 😂

There are still very talented young DJs out there. But they do seem to be in the minority, yes.

@@the_80skid what’s sad is that some of these top DJs can still DJ, they’re just not allowed to at these festivals

@@the_80skidthis is why I stopped going to festivals like 10-15 years ago. Smaller intimate clubs and venues are where the craft is still being done. Europe overall has a lot of strong local scenes. Not sure how it is in the states aside from maybe NYC and Miami.

so are those that pre record their sets :D

So you're the DJ Police.

*vinyldjpolice@@samikalastaja

so why does he "perform" in front of thousands of people?

because of women and money and wanting clout for having fire beats...no more, no less@@jaimeramos9497

hes playing live but its a DVS setup not vinyl

was thinking the same thing. cant beat the executioner! 👊

Well hes superhuman so its understandable. How guys like him and AMC do that shit at that bpm amazes me

And the light show seems proper too. All these guys talking about visuals . Lol f#$koff

Glad to see Andy C mentioned here.

yea if you ever see someone play a set in ableton, they control each instrument with the buttons to start and stop it. Besides sample, its generating sound in real time, not just playing an audio file. Its actually like way more high quality sounding that way because of the bit rate and lossy file types

if you can mix fine for your pre-record, you should be confident enough to do it to a live audience too. but the truth is out now with the big shows, it's so they can sync the lights up.

@@xsm5525 that's a lie, there are softwares that can read in real the waves of the music being played.

@@ramondamian5067 also there are VDJs whose jobs are literally to control the lighting based on what the DJ is doing, sometimes multiple people per stage depending on how complex the lighting setups are split

ya... of course . playing prerecorded sets in a situation that everyone has been led to believe is a live set tends to make you appear always spot on.

@@anthonygato407 the term of “pre-recorded” these days is often conflated with a “pre-planed” set. i think that’s more of what joel is talking about in this video. while it does happen, rarely ever are there DJ’s that are literally doing nothing.

Don’t bands do this?

@@r2worksee i imagine some bands don’t but in this situation we’re probably talking at least 50%.👽✌️

People see live music to watch the artists preform their original work. Disregarding pop artists that lip sync, it would be insane to find out a band like Metallica or led zeppelin were not actually playing their instruments.

@@XenoTravis when your talking about Metallica in the same breath as dead mouse you seem to forget he’s playing all the tracks on the record. So it’s not really a very good comparison at all . And people that are into his music know this is how a vast majority of folks in this genre of electronic music perform…with turn tables and mixers x/ y controllers or filters. If you want to see someone play electronic music in a more tactile fashion I suggest someone like early Tangerine dream . ✌️👽

I've saw him perform on the Sonar tour, absolutely amazing!

dude tommorwland talking musicaly is very poor

@@rebelllionlad8049 its about EDM, House, Techno, trance, etc. And if this kind of music is your jam, this is one of the best. Even still Tomorrowland is still top 10 of ALL music festivals across the world. Not sure who took a dump in your bowl of cereals, but your just bitter with no reason.

And his set was live, both weekends. Trust me ;-)

Timmy Trumpet was a lot of fun too.

The issue is playing over time, not below it. Imagine having to cut a set abruptly because you went over time...

@@exilada800they have clocks in front of them and can plan when to cut or extend a track.

Yea its funny lmao. Joel was the one talking shit about DJ's pretending to do shit and now he says he likes to pretend as well

@@heyaaaaaaaaa-x5r I wish I could remember who he was trolling... All I remember was this vid on his insta where he was making fun of "dj's" for just touching the knobs and not even having their decks plugged in. It was like... 2012 / 2014. Two girl DJ's too.

I think it was nervo but not sure

@@ElletrommiMusic I kept thinking it was Knife Party... but thats not right. All I remember was him walking around unplugged decks and pushing faders and knobs, like he was doing something.

It was Krewella he was making fun of

Radio sets are a completely different thing, has nothing to do with the video or the discussion

@@Dubstone They were live sets from festivals broadcast on radio. You probably weren’t even born. Since you don’t seem particularly bright, let me help you. The video is discussing prerecorded sets. My point is in essence it’s nothing new. If you watch the video again, he makes the point that the stakes are too high not to prerecord major sets, such as EDC. My point also alluded to this. Maybe close your mouth and open your ears.

Any good DJ prepares (or should) their set before any large event, but that's completely different than pressing play on a pre-record audio hour long MP4.

Radio 1 Trance shows of 90s. I used to record them on the Walkman. Happy days.

there is a difference in pre-recorded and prepared sets. a big difference :)

yea his net worth is like, a hair under the highest paid youtube star so i highly doubt he cares if some vids get demonetized lol

@@TM-pi2rn This video is to keep his boat floating. YT is not his income.

@@SchiesterMalG Joel didnt make this and I'm sure he's not too happy it got made

Well in fairness, he's not a youtuber. Most of the clips shown online are from his twitch streams.

he'd be on wax, i'd say ok. But honestly... i don't give money to people prerecording sets even if only speaking about track order selection. I listen to their music at home. If someone asks me one day to prerecord a whole set, i'm refusing his money because all the other artists around me would just be pretenders in my opinion. The guy did very good music though. I liked a lot of his tunes, and full of respect for his music. Anyway, to whoever read this, being able to improvise and be good, it takes much time and effort mixing in front of your wall, recording yourself, listening to your mixes, diggin your records, it's all a about training. then ya'll see, do i wanna be an IDM dj xho fakes it or ... just a dj, but a good one.

Lining up on Ableton is premixing... He won't be warping audio on stage if the lights and video are in sync... Only thing he said he does is use filters

WRONG! Pre-recorded is premixed, thus his comment about the visuals being in perfect sync with the music. See, you can't even believe it yourself it is so absurd.

thank god he does

then is not "pre recorded" nothing is recorded previously, all mixed live. you're confused.

I think it's more so like Excision where the visuals are so fine tuned on beat that it just HAS to be prerecorded.

Timestamp is a sticker on a record, WTF you all even talking about....

erm.. what.. Nope, never done that myself or known anyone that's ever done that. In a performance type situation that would make sense perhaps (album promotion etc), but a four to the floor DJ's job isn't (or wasn't) to do anything other than play tunes, feel out the vibe of the crowd and work together for an hour or so.

@@SchiesterMalG there's lots of uses for the term time stamp. It can also be used to signify a specific timeframe or cue in an audio or video recording.

No op is right. I have actually practiced and learned by memory sets like kaskade ultra 2016 and deadmau5 2014. Fredagain boiler room. There is so much work involved and one slip up ruins the flow. I do respect the fact skrillex fredagain and fourtet do complete "track listed" but free style djing and it can be sloppy and fun and just makes the crowed feel great. Fourtet will not allow a pre recorded set. But a PLANNED SET is much different. Every band on earth also does this.

​@@ShiftyRightNow A planned set, (as in track order) isn't necessarily a bad thing for some DJ's, but the 'one slip up' element would make it a very intense, stressful experience for the 'DJ'. A set that's lacking life & 'in the moment' unique parts for the audience. If the track order was set-up & has to be stitched together precisely so it doesn't 'ruin the flow', I'd say this suggests a lack of skill & understanding when seamlessly combining tracks for an audience. These things should all be automatic, second nature, muscle memory in the flow actions. However, you've helped clarify the situation by using the term 'freestyle DJing'. Before that became a thing, it was & still is for most, simply called - DJing. Paris Hilton kinda changed the game & I can't see it stopping.

Because djing is how non musicians become musicians. 😂 I say this as a dj myself. No realy learning to dj is 1000 times easier than learning an instrument. And producing is even easier because you can make all the mistakes in the world and still perfect it in the end. And now with ai making music anyone can do it. Tech beats talent every time.

@@roflryan1 As a DJ and an instrumental musician I agree that it's easier to learn the mechanics and the technical aspects of DJing. But what separates the great DJs is not just playing and mixing tracks. It's having a vision of what you want to create as a DJ and then learning how read and lead the dance floor and that takes time and talent. Same thing with producing dance music: sure it's easy to put together a track that's technically proficient but it takes real talent to create something that's exceptional and original. As far as "performing" pre-recorded sets? Hey, if the audience is happy....though calling it performing is a stretch.

If a band member messes up live, that only affects one instrument. The rest of the band keeps going. As a DJ, you're in control over ALL of the sound. If you mess up, it messes up the ENTIRE flow of the song and/or show. A DJ can go from a killer set to a failed set by accidentally hitting "Pause" or "Cue" on a live track.

@@AwooAdvocate Lead singers forget lyrics, lead guitar solos get tanked by broken strings, etc. These "DJs" are getting paid insane amounts of money for big festivals. I think they can take a few risks. But hey, if the fans are OK with the pre-recorded sets, I won't try to stop anyone from doing it. Just don't whine about the "risks".

@@roflryan1Say that to modular synth and abbleton users 🤣

Complete bollocks

Hahahahaha, this is why EDM and all the big festival bullshit sucks. Give me 2 turntables a mixer a strobe and a little dark room any day.

So why does it even matter if deadmau5 a is there. If all that matters is that the music is good, couldn’t we get rid of the entire stage concept and create immersive dance events where it’s just music on giant speakers

@@robertlemiesz7143 same reason why people go to bars instead of drinking a beer at home. It's not always just for the music but for the experience, people, lights, sound etc. If you go see an artist who basically just plays a Spotify playlists then that's on you. I love going to see shows of my favorite artists because they'll usually play their new tracks that isn't even out on soundcloud or just in general make a great mix as well as what I previously mentioned in my first sentence. At the end of the day, nobody is forcing you to pay to go see them.

Can you explan what exactly 'Pre-Recorded Set' means? Does it mean that someone has recorded his own set and playing it at the event or is it just fixed tracklist orded that DJ would play at the event?

Yes, people don’t understand the difference between a DJ and a producer, which is the real problem. People genuinely think anyone who makes or plays edm/techno music is a DJ by default, and that they should therefore be mixing live in order for the performance to be “impressive”. They are both completely diff arts/skills and it’s damn near impossible to truly be highly skilled at both simultaneously, unless you just have been practicing both skills for your entire life, which are super rare cases with guys like Fred Again.. and even those guys usually plan their sets/perform them ahead of time in order to properly synchronize the visual components, even if it is played or mixed in real time. Even if it is a live performance, it is still always planned at the least if it is part of a huge production value that uses visuals, like every major music festival. I used Fred Again.. as an example because he actually had a freestyle section in his set at EDCLV this year, but even he used technology that would make it arguable if it was truly DJ’ing and mixing, rather than just chopping and screwing or live sampling. AND THE HILARIOUS PART IS PEOPLE HATED THAT SET AND HAD ZERO APPRECIATION FOR THE ACTUAL SKILL IT TOOK 🤣🤣 People don’t realize that what most of what modern electronic music performers do in general, is not considered DJ’ing. It’s layering sounds and songs so their rhythms and tempos synchonize- which is the basics of DJ’ing- but considering most of the skills can be done by the technology people are performing on these days, it takes a very small degree of the technical skills of mixing that traditional DJ’ing requires. Using traditional DJ’ing skills/techniques leads to less clean transitions and mixes, and limits how many layers of sound can be mixed together at once, only the GOATS of DJ’ing can properly mix three-four diff layers at a time without it sounsing choppy and off tempo on certain layers. The hilarious thing is that usually the more “basic” and simple sounding mixes usually are what is actually performed live, while the crazy complex shit is extremely likely to be pre-recorded. Yet people have such a lack of understanding of what these artists skills are, or what they truly do as creators, that they just see someone up their on a stage and a dj board, and assume it’s all the same thing. And the reality is, whether people are aware of it or not, they usually prefer the pre-recorded stuff as it’s much more polished and refined, like in the Fred Again.. example I used above. Personally I have no problem admitting that I want a performance to feel perfectly executed considering I am paying hundreds-thousands of dollars in order to attend most festivals. If that means having some pre-recorded sections or the whole thing being planned ahead of time, then so be it. Most genuine DJ’s who only DJ or mainly focus on that, usually do it because they are not able to compose music from scratch the same way a producer would, which is why DJ’ing is the skill they focus on. And in the same way most people who just produce or mainly focus on that, usually are just decent when it comes to actual high level DJ’ing skills on a technical level, again which is part of why they focus on production rather than DJ’ing. As you said, people need to stop thinking every artist has to be some trascendent talent in ever facet. Appreciate what these people have created, and the skills they’ve cultivated for what they are, instead of comparing it to every other artist in the scene. Not every person is going to have the same performing style and vision which is why diff genres and subgrenres exist in the first place. The only person I have ever seen truly “perform” electronic music live, is HEY MOM NO COMPUTER, or other artists like that which use modular synthesizers. Those are the only people who truly “play” electronic music live since they are literally composing the sounds in real time on the hardware. Everyone else is just pressing play or pause on a pre-recorded track, with some digital platform and/or hardware to control it, to a lesser or greater degree. So rather than complaining about how one person’s style takes no skill, lets just appreciate all the different artistic forms that exist within this realm, and be glad we have so many creators and different artistic visions/perspectives because of that.

I had genuine curiosity about his comment about pre-recorded sets and visuals. I thought the tech was there with wild amounts of automation with some human oversight by leveraging Ableton, MIDI, DMX, VDMX, etc. I listened again and when he said "so immaculately timed" I was reminded that this artist has a very keen sense of timing. He would pick up on things that I would miss. Maybe the live visual tech could fool the average festival persona but nobody can fool Deadmau5!

I mean what he said here isn’t entirely true. As someone who operates visuals for shows, just because it lines up perfectly does NOT mean they aren’t DJing live. We have software that lets us sync clips to individual tracks from the CDJ live. It’s called ShowKontrol. But each track has its own visual and we play them when the correct track is playing. So sure some people might pre record it all but a large majority at least outside of like “EDM” do not.

what he mean he dosent play mp3?he only plays wav file?

@@Rumor. I would assume he only plays wav files. the sound quality of mp3 is trash in comparison. you might not notice when playing on your speakers at home or maybe even at smaller shows, but once you get to festival level sound systems, you can clearly tell the difference. Plus if he only plays his own music, he already has all the wav files on hand so why not

@@GamaLimits I was always curious how the Dj find every track in WAV format,me personally i have both.

@@Rumor. i'm sure that big DJ's/producers can probably just reach out to other artists to get their music in WAV format and get the files fairly easily. I use both as well. I just mix at home as a hobby so its not too big of a deal for me to play mp3

thanks for the info man@@GamaLimits

That is not what Deadmau5 is talking about here.

wrong.

Yeah wrong for sure lol. They are not mixing it live.

yup. most people don’t care but there’s a special feeling you get when the dj is killing it and you know it’s all off the top

@@rtyprty Yes. I even appreciate the mistakes, even the big ones (worst one was was Crystal Method). It shows me that they care about their craft and respect the crowd. Saying nothing about vinyl and live sets.

I enjoyed fredagain at boiler room London. Thrre where screw ups and even people from the crowd would hit the decks on accident and pause a track etc. He even played the drum pad live. So i think his set was all live, but now honestly idk... idk anymore now that deadmau5 has come out and said this (about the massive festival's because you want it to be perfect and especially put on a show with the lights and effects. Another example would be TBD (skrillex x fredagain x fourtet) at coachella. There set was so sloppy at times i actually appreciated it knowing it was all live and they where even dropping tracks to try and make it harder for the next one to mix out of. Hahshs Fourtet dropped country riddim 3x lmao at once from a sample of Nirvana "teen spirit" so theres a group of worlds best DJs and producers who are the most booked and highest paid talent in EDM currently. Always like skrillex and his passion.

i mean, if its prerecorded, isnt it basically once you have seen it once you have seen them all?

@@nfmosphotos4624 exactly

They made the edit from my longer recording: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fMWSmciHvs-te4E.html

I was thinking the same, some of these artists have dedicated lighting/visuals guys who will be able to time the right things immaculately.

The lights are made to go with the beat. Even real cheap lights have this technology. I highly doubt most dj’s are playing pre recorded. I have heard famous dj’s train wreak. Paul Oakenfold being one of them. I’m happy when I hear a fuck up these days….

I watched Billie eilish preform at Osheaga in Montreal this year, she coughed and missed a couple words. It was really great actually to have a moment of pure humanity, that mistake made all the rest so much more real in a way

That's your opinion and it's valid no cap on that. But there are people who will say they paid for an experience and if it's not good or up to par then it's a bad experience. Just trying to play devil's advocate on behalf of people who think differently. I do like the viewpoint of a more humanitarian set, but people like well timed stuff too, and it's a blend of both that will be needed. Professional sets are dope, and hearing an off beat is humbling, take both to heart and express that to people who are chained to one side remember there are always different opinions none weighing heavier then the other.

What the fuck is "prefect" music?

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fMWSmciHvs-te4E.html It's not the whole thing, but it's most of it

@@ThisIsDownstate I don't doubt it happens I just would doubt its the norm unless you're one of the millionaire big time DJs like Deadmau5, david guetta, marshmellow, etc idk Ive just seen a lot of smaller artists fuck up mixes at shows

Some of the coolest sets I've been to are pre-recorded, and vice versa I don't think it matters as long as it's clear that a lot of time, and effort is shown through what they've made

The thing is, if someone pre prepares a DJ set (as in pre records the whole mix) then it’s not actually a live performance

@@Lazlo-os1pu depends on what you mean by prepare

tip: stay away from money and success

You can really tell the vibe difference from prerecorded and playing to the crowd djs , having a starter plan is good but even laid back Luke says you have to adjust certain crowds might now dig certain tracks etc

Agreed, I've been to most of the big events across the US back in my prime. (1999-2007) It's just not the same, the music the vibe, the people.... I didn't enjoy myself as much as I do at the two small local fests I now attend every year. It has become like a ritual reunion of friendships.

@@TM-pi2rn There are plenty of people that have successful careers as a dj who do not play big festivals.

@@NicholasSeamans oh yes im sure there is, i was being an ass. i dont think that's a good "tip" though. i would not turn down a spot at a festival if it meant doing a pre-recorded set. could still keep things just interesting enough to feel like you aren't just standing there. just because you are using auto beat sync with preplanned out tracks doesn't mean you just have to stand there and pretend to twist knobs the whole time. some probably do that though

Then you should be ashamed

Dude you’re not headlining massive shows, there’s no excuse for you.

100 percent true

Hence why they set up 4 cdjs. Basically a scam. But judging by the comment section, the average EDM fan doesn't actually care anyway lol

@@ThisIsDownstate that’s exactly it. Most of The audience doesn’t know what DJs actually do (or are not doing in this case, and those who do must not care. I prefer the dj tucked away in a corner in a dark room with no visuals myself, but I’m also in my 40s.

@ThisIsDownstate I know. I always laugh when I see that. Honestly I'm 44 so I came up in the vinyl and turntables Era when djing was an art form. I have noticed vinyl is making a little comeback

@iamjeffincarnate hell yes. Same here I'm 44. When I saw danny tenaglia it was like that. Most of the raves just had some lasers

Pre-recorded means that it's mixed at home and you send the audio file in advance so they can design the cool visuals and stuff you see on big festivals. Personally I think it's stupid but I kind of understand why it works like that. But lets be honest, 99% of the people at those festivals dont care about it at all. They just want to party and have a good time. It's mostly really just other DJs / producers that pay attention to these things.

the tracks are already set up and in a specific order and timed out to the exact bar. the dj still mixes the tracks in and out and can add additional fx, record scratch, etc. but the order of the tracks and exactly when to transition were designed at home and doesn't change live. thats pre-recorded. they arent up there pretending PER SE they just don't do it all from scratch and by feel right there in front of you, its all been planned out and just needs crossfaded between tracks and maybe add some fx. somewhere inbetween pretending and the real deal. also, if you make your mix at home, well you could have just paid someone else to do it, so thats what a lot of people probably do to. and yea people pay out the ass to go see a fake dj because of the whole experience not just seeing some dj turn a few knobs

Yes they pretend .Most probably can DJ but take the easy option for 10's of thousands of money and fake twiddling knobs

⁠@@TM-pi2rnthat’s not what pre-recorded means though. Listen to the clip, he says DJs just play with the filter knob and clap. I played at a fashion show at my university and we used the same approach. We had the pre-recorded mix play on 2 decks (if one breaks, just fade in the other) and the outro on a 3rd deck. I was literally just up there dancing and playing with the effects and EQ, then I mixed in the outro in the end.

no. pre recorded means its already RECORDED. they are infact up there hitting play and playing with a filter at the most@@TM-pi2rn

Common dude, no respect at all, in what sense he's keeping it real when he's admitting he fakes his Dj set and justifying that. How de fok!!??!!!

You will grow to realize your mistake.

nope..maybe 1-2 songs

yeah. That's exactly what it is. But doing it manually like switching the song each time is not that hard to do too, but it's understandable why a pre-recorded set is better because it doesn't allow error to happen when the song is switching.

Personally I like the female DJs. At least they look sexy while they are faking it.

I don’t think he just hits the space bar. I recall in the Ultra Miami b2b set with HI-LO something went wrong with one of the tracks loading and they had to pull up and mix in another track. But it makes perfect sense a DJ would think upfront about what tracks they would play and at what point in an hour or two hour long set. The hype of a live set might be too much noise to let creativity flow and pick the right tracks to make the set as good as it can be. It probably not as easy as they make it look.

It's not a live set if it's prerecorded. You're paying a shit ton of money to shove into a crowd of people and take molly and pay way too much for water while you listen to a mix that was made days/weeks in advance and a guy on stage pretend to do shit with a $6000 deck that is set up to do nothing.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

nope. no misunderstanding here. im 30 years in the game. fraud is fraud. I even bet that this can be taken to court and someone could be compensated for the thousands they pay for tickets to see a live show. if its no big deal then go ahead and put it on the flier . *THE SETS AT THIS EVENT WILL BE 100% PRERECORDED, IN NO WAY LIVE.

@@anthonygato407 found the DJ police he was talking about lol

No I think you’re the one misunderstanding. He is talking premixing the entire set - so no live mixing. Basically just pressing play and pretending to mix. Mixing live with pre set cue points is not “pre recorded”

People care way too much about this lol. The music still hits the same. That’s like never watching a movie again because you know they’re fake

as a fan of music in general i thought electronic music fans all knew this? not to ruin christmas for you but if you go to a popular rap concert now you are listening to an ipad. if you wanna see live shit happen go watch a show that involves guitars and drums etc

still, once you find the songs that go together and all prerecorded, then you don't have to change the audio file at all and just play it at different venues. Its completely lazy and repetitive.
