All language subtitles for 12-14 - Remixes - deadmau5 Teaches Electronic Music Production

Remix songs cool it's good exercise you know because it cuts out a lot of work that you know

That you you might be stomped on or something like that and there's there's plenty of online

Collaborative websites that kind of thing where

You know when artists will release stems and stuff

Like that to other artists

Uses tools to remix their work and whether it's for a contest

Fine or whatever but ultimately it's

It's just a good thing to look at other people's work

Sometimes in

Say oh well that's an interesting way of

Making it

Drum

Sound that way our

You know a certain effect being applied that way

An attendant can be

Fun at at a time if you if you can really

Take

What the true meaning of a derivative work is out of

What they've done as opposed to

Taking what they've already done and then changing just

A few things and passing it off as a

So my remixes II like to call Andre Ward

Because

They're the only I only take one element the way I do it is only two

Take one element out of a song in the end usually for remix

Vocal

Or a certain phrase and that's

And I will rework a whole new body of work around it

I would reinvent the track

Completely

Saying like what the singer came in and just sang blindly into a microphone

What would you write around it

So I tend to ignore

What they've already done musically

Rhythmically or whatever and then just

Throw that all out

Anan

Just use the vocal and put a clock

I didn't start riding around

The vocal

Back to me it's is remix even though by definition remix

Very well be the same song but just mix

Differently in terms of process

That is what technically a remix

I don't know how it got

I mixed up in the terminology that this is a remix of this

Mike Walsh

Remixes in it wasn't mixed right the first time and now they've taken all that same track information and just mix the proper

Lake Nona

The recreation

I Remix

There are some tracks that

In my mind you know are are just so good that like really

I don't think that you know changing any other way but

Sometimes you're surprised that someone was able to actually take something good and make it better you know but it's

It's kind of rare because sometimes they take something good and then they just kind of do a

Mediocre version of it are something lesser than what it was

And stuff like that so

When you hear a beautiful piece of work

I don't need anything

I wish someone would make this better

You know or I wish someone would rework this in the way that I like it better you know so

Cuz then

That would mean that the music was enough to my part I hear a shity track-ii say it all the time. I wish

Remix

I cuz I've heard a lot of really brilliant idea

Being poorly ekşi

Security advisor

Since they're like no big artist

So you can nobody can take that in and do something with it because of

It's their intellectual property

No pun intended you know what I mean

Their property

And

That sucks

But

No I did

Not surprised when you know

People put out beautiful

Bodies of work that are both your masterful in InDesign and in sound and then they're like expecting Arena

Like why

When I do do a remix it's usually commission meaning that I'm in contact with the original artist that did the stopso

I can ask

Specific things meaning like ache

Just give me the vocals

SMS usually what I do is say just give me the vocals and I'll redesign re-engineer rewrite recompose only melodies

To the same bocal

Because

Just because you think sassy doesn't mean restrict

Playing

Hello hey you know what I mean is a tone I got to do is go up here and there and then designed a different cord structure around Hurst

Milotic top-line and that's how I go about doing it so I'm not actually

Doing anything.

I wouldn't normally do when making a whole new track

My sound my sound and take it from somewhere else it's inspired by something else

Or like in terms of a Remax

Just like

I'll take a weird

Dissonant Melody out of something and actually what it happened was if I wonder if I have it

Open this app

Example

So this was a vocal snippet that was sent to me by

Skylar Grey and Ryan raddon

Cascade

And

At asked me if we want to collaborate on this track and I was like yeah okay so

What I had sent was some

That was after I right so I wrote this melody turn that down

This melody

And had sent it over to Ryan and then Skyler came back with a vocal that was like

But she never wrote it tonight she wrote it to something completely different

So this whole Melody up here was

Written

Completely separate

Best so she didn't sing to that she think of something Ryan did

And

And then it kind of inspired me to write all this

Rest of this track in this key

So that was like an interesting case for it and then what it happened was it's okay so I had this track

Crack and it was going to be called beneath with me and all the stuff and

I don't know Ryan couldn't get a s*** together Skyler's and possible to get on the phone so I ended up doing

Yes

Which was a beautiful thing because not while it wasn't because I had to delete a f****** perfectly Place vocal but

This is no longer a remix

Original track

So I won you know what I mean because it's like wild

So you guys can get your s*** together but

If I just do that strike the vocal none of this you want

Yen in it and it's mine so

We don't have to

Go through all this

Bulshit just so I can get something

Hangout you know while not waiting on your

Ass

You know to get something done

So that's that's like one of the things I like about remix

A 10in legal sense they don't work out there the guys being a dick or somebody

Jump ship halfway through the deal you like cake or whatever you know

It's my track

You know so

It's a reward you know

And then when you're playing at Live While rules don't apply so you can throw the vocal back in if you want and then they're just

Because the performance

Volume up a little royalty

You don't

No I'm about the Masters

That's the one sneaky little

That I think

A lot of people are

Freeform

Found it

He did an insane remix and it was one of the best remixes of my stuff that I ever heard but

Listen to this remix no one's really heard this

This is what I would look for in a remix you know something that's not

The same song with a big room b or a couple of big since this is

Proper rework

And the way they redid the cords was great

It's the same chord structure it's the same song it's the same lyric it's just

Did just arranged differently affected like

It's a whole new track out of that it's a complete derivative work

Whereas

Now this is Tommy trash is remix with FL

Hey

It's the same note order it's the same thing as a

Just done with the grind here since then

You know one really attractive

Unattractive thing about this right now this

This was

Six seven years ago in Tommy has learned a lot since

Consigned by

Don't have the volume turned out that much but

You can hear the Distortion in the limiting and how

Jacked it is it was like way over-the-top but

It sounded loud at Fest

Everyone loved that over the original which was a lot more

Had a lot more.

Dynamic range

Was technically louder but

It was just a little more

The soft yellow in in in in

In terms of his will

Everybody loved

More so

Tommy's trashmaid

Freeform five remix

Actually

The better product

Funeral

So that's what I look

Foreign remix

I mean

Other guy might look for exactly

Play what Tommy did

And all that stuff

Even though it was 10

Inferior

Malik Williams

Superior to

Many a thing out

But

It's Purp

So I don't know if it's

It's a deliberate thing and maybe

Should learn to mix like that

Because that's what works

Balls in your court man I'm not going to tell you what to do on the skin tell you

If I give the Sims out for say snow cone or whatever it is I we end up choosing them

I'm looking to hear entirely new derivative works of that meaning maybe one element

Out of that and then a completely new body of work

Written around that or you know you could use the

You can use the stems as a learning tool kind of thing or

Or whatever but ultimately what I would like to

Here is a

Complete

Tyree work around a theme

That's featured in that track as a

Just stop

A replacement of the drum Loop but everything else stays

Perfectly the same
