love the section on polyrythms / polymeters... i always have a rough time explaining that shit. good job!

Deadmau5: im trying to sneak into the top of the charts but the clap of my ass cheeks keeps alerting the guards

Me: wow deadmau5 makes such beautiful music. I wonder how he does it... Deadmau5: *_D U A L A S S C L A P_*

nobody: deadmau5 listening to his music in his car: *thats ass clap 18*

"How did you get that perfect clap?" *"THAT'S MY ASS"*

When you explain Deadmau5 better than he does himself in a Masterclass...

Dylan: you ever just wish you were dead? me: yes Dylan: Mouse me: also yes

This needs to be in the masterclass!

Dylan actually slapped his own ass to make the claps in the end track

"what we used to call progressive house" THANK YOU

This makes so much sense as to why his tracks are longer than the average tracks

Level1 Crook Halcyon441 Level100 Boss *_deadmau5_*

Quality over quantity

*A S S C L A P*

Ty for not being overly sarcastic like almost every other "How to {insert producer name}" video. When I first started producing, the overly sarcastic tone of "how to" narrators would mislead me into believing I should not implement the elements displayed into tracks of my own. I assumed this video would be doing the same, but thankfully I was mistaken. Good stuff, super helpful.

19:32 I need a full version of I Remember like that. Oh my god 😭

Someone get Joel to react to this

Ghost producer *CONFIRMED*

I can never listen to Deadmau5 the same way anymore after that ass clap part 😂

my english teacher played the veldt after we read the story and she called deadmau5 "dead-mow-five"

he's like AcesToAces, but he actually makes the full track

I've always aspired to be a dead mammal and now i can finally make my dream come true. Thanks Dylan!

"You ever wish you were deadmau5?" *...yes*

i think what makes deadmau'5 tracks so special and good is that he basically has no idea what hes doing. he just has an idea in his head and goes for it, and then more often then not the idea even evolves further while he is playing around with it in his DAW. he doesnt care about music theory, he doesnt care if his patterns are 4 or 8 bars long or whatever. and i can relate to that. because whenever i tried to get into music production myself. the theory often rather frustrates me.

17:08 through 17:38 is my favorite part. That lead is really sick.

This is my new favorite video. Love how you knew all the little mau5 secrets that only the real fans know. New subscriber in me. Video Collab bro?

This is a cardinal sin of edm right here.

this video is prove that deadmau5 is something else than other producers. he involves concepts of music that are learned by university music students and then he still does sound design and packs all this melodic and rythmic masterpieces into one enjoyable song. deadmau5 is by far the most underrated producer of all time imo. and the funniest thing is that even though he dived so deeply into his music the final product he came up with doesnt even sound close to his music xD

Finally, I can be dead mau5!

Wow the polymeters part was super interesting keep it up and do a FLUME of this kind of videos

So I don't know who's the genius here, deadmau5 or the dude who managed to doppelganger him so easy

Just shows the genius of Joel. Say what you will but I've loved his music since '07 and every album ever since has given all sorts of different EDM genres and he's always kept me on the edge of my seat. And once I found his SoundCloud, I would check every night after work if posted a sample or song. Even it was the random crazy shit clustered together, I knew it what was just him doing what wanted and what he liked.

Joel needs to see this

Strobe is actually named after the DCAM Strobe synth.

8:59 aaaaaand I lost it "mamana mamana"

bro the deamau5 masterclass is literally the ad that played before the final track

*hau5* got me man 💯🔥👌✅😂

other people: dead mouse my dumb ass before knowing how it's actually said: dead mau-five

This video has been in my recommendations like F0Rev3R and I never clicked it. I was so wrong lol

"Thicc, loud one"

Watching this video gave me an even deeper appreciation for all deadmau5's music. I was entertained the whole 20 minutes, good job Dylan!

It took me 3 seconds before I knew I liked this video

17:00 man how do you make those dubstep sounds?

1:08 Drums 3:25 Pre shift claps 3:52 Ride Cymbals 4:28 Big room drums 4:54 Bass 5:37 Synths 7:10 Automation 8:28 Theory 8:38 Polymeter vs Polyrhythm 9:03 Polymeter examples 9:34 Brazil 10:26 Arguru 10:37 Move for me 10:44 16th Hour 10:49 Closer 10:55 Your ad here 11:26 Brazil pt 2 11:50 Imaginary Friends (71C) 12:18 Superbia 12:49 Slip 13:15 Publications 13:29 Phantoms can't hang 13:36 Sofi needs a ladder 13:42 Cthulu 13:56 Drone (build bass / harm /mel off that 1 note) 14:17 Text to speech robots 14:56 Fin

Please do more deadmau5 stuff, he's my fav producer

Wait, this isnt DROELOE

Deadmau5, the guy who got called out by Ferrari themself because he swapped the logos to make the car more "personal" (instead of Ferrari, he made Purrari to fit the Nyan Cat theme of the car). So he bought a Lamborghini Huracan and made the Nyanborghini Absolute FUCKING legend

What are the odds of having a deadmau5 master class ad when I click on a how to sound like deadmau5?

i absolutely LOVE your "how to" videos Dylan. Especially how you include solid production tips and tricks along with ur great sense of humor. Keep it up!! Hope to see some more like these including favorite artists like Giraffage, Slushii, Illenium/Gryffin, Louis Futon, and Porter Robinson!!

The strobe synth is a pure data patch made exclusively for deadmau5

Dude that track at the end was honestly really sick. I'm loving these analysis videos, good blend of humor and actual knowledge of the process involved

your channel is literally composerily with actual quality and explanation. thanks.

18:20 - 18:50 is Next level amaziiing oh man

This video is basically a person with a Masters/PhD in Music Theory explaining the beauty of Deadmau5 tracks - a rarity, as music theory experts typically don't touch electronic music..

The nostalgia and emotion watching you flick through so many truly incredible songs. Wow. Thanks for this video!

You're sorta like a professional Composeraly.

"you ever wish you were dead" ye- "maus?" yeah yeah that

IS THAT LOSS AT 17:52

Still listening to this once in a while as one of my 'deadmau5' tracks. Quality Dylan, James. Polymeters all the way up.

MasterClass Deadmaus Ad.. This is the first time the ad I got was prooobably better than the video I was gonna watch.. wow.

Deadmau5 is my dad.

HOLY CRAP DEADMAU5 BY DYLAN????? SENPAI ALL AROUND.

Dude. This is absolutely incredible! That piece you made at the end really inspired me!

You absolutely nailed the ending track. Superb analysis. How does this not have a million views already ?!

This is awesome! Good stuff, Dylan!

I absolutely love the way you edit videos. It's so unique and interesting

this actually great good job man, usually these kind of videos end up terrible but you did pretty good job,

the info is great, and Dylan is SO much fun. Thanks man!... I even like to watch the videos where you explain artists I totally don't care about

This was freakin’ awesome

Thank5 dylmau5 for a great tutorial

I love the progressive trance/"i remember"-deadmau5. truly a masterpiece . he should have keep that style

The end track is amazing. Good work really digging it!

15:18 "And my students" Dylan is a teacher?

Beside the incredible analysis of the songs, the video editing is sooooo good. You earned a sub

He's a genius for for coming up with this music, and you are a genius for dissecting it! Great job!

as a drummer I can tell ya many of those 'ride' cymbals were splashes, open hi hats etc not even sure I heard a ride... also 5:40 how dare u play all those synths together like that. thats illegal good

Here Before deadmau5 finds this vid

19:39 that sounds so good?!

At first I thought that the video is a joke according to the title, but then I was amazed. I love Joel's music, because I always found it interesting that once I start a Mau5 track I can't stop it, and just never get bored of it even though the song is seemingly the same throughout. But now I know, it's the Polymeters! It's not the same as the notes shift and offset making the song ineresting. Plus all the filters of course, just amazing.

Excellent video, learned a ton & totally helped me to be inspired to see the simplicity behind what would otherwise seem much more complex. Cheers, great work!

Holy shit man, the amount of effort that went into this video is nuts. Epic video. I'll definitely have to learn more about the Polymeters.

This is amazing and thorough. Good job!

Wow this video just blew me away it answered a lot of questions into DM5 music who I've loved for some time. Thanks great video.

this video changed my outlook on music production on its head, a huge eye opener, idek why it just influenced me, so thanks

your editing style actually had me wheezing laughing

Dear Dylan, I've never seen any music tutorial content on youtube as detailed and gently outlined as yours. I had a such pleasure to watch and listen this so thick and complex tutorial. Greatest thing is ofc that you have covered so many small tips and tricks, that i never heard on Joels tracks. You made a nice job! Liked and Subscribed. Looking forward on great content. Thank you so much.

Amazing breakdown of techniques man really awesome!!! Love hearing it in the last track every bit and peice! The polymeter amazing discovery!

Man this is the first vid I have ever seen of yours. This was amazing, such talent. Keep it up man.

9:00 Lmao

here b4 Murrant Diller

I just found those videos and oh my god, this is golden, loving it. Would love to see a "How to" video on Commodo or similar artists such as Gantz, Kahn or Samba.

2 things! 1 - I finally got off my ass and followed you on SoundCloud. And I gotta say, 90+K followers is great and I’m super happy for you. But WTF!! You deserve several HUNDRED K followers. And even MORE than THAT! You deserve it bro. It already takes shitloads of talent and production skill to replicate one artists sound, especially one like the mau5 himself. But you do it consistently. Over and over again. For work. That’s mind blowing. I mean this shit is genuinely really fucking good too. I’ve made full length edits of each vibe you made within this compilation of vibes and sounds and I bump them all the time. The quality of this work actually segues me pretty smoothly into thing number 2! - deadmau5 even noticed this video! That’s a dream come true to some people (me). AND he commented, praising your knowledge and explanations of the rhythmic bits of music theory on display in much of Joel’s music. So my point is…. When’s the collab gonna drop? 😁 @deadmau5 come on, Joel. We’d all /love/ to see deadmau5 X Dylan Tallchief happen!

Did you use claps from slapping your a55 too? Edit: Thank you anyway for making that video, great job. I appreciate the fact that you propably spent a lot of time making that one. Thank you once again.

8:58 holy shit i just died laughing

I really REALLY loved this video! But man this came 8 years too late. Back in 2011 I was a deadmau5 fanboy and really wanted my music to sound like his and looked at tons of tutorials and this is the best one. I could've used this back then. Keep up the good work!

Fascinating breakdown. Many thanks, Dylan!

deadmau5 is a god

17:38 A nod to FL Studio users.

Amazing video, really can see the effort you put in. I am going to listen to deadmau5 for the next few hours now..

I've been a fan of Deadmau5 for very long, I totally identify most of the things you said. Your video is really amazing. There is a ton of work and knowledge here. Great work.
