Joel Zimmerman's (Deadmau5) NEW live rig 'The Buchla'

[CBG]

As you may know, Deadmau5 is my hero, take it or leave it.

So here is his new set-up.

Note the Buchla 200e Modular synth . Crazy bastard.

Im a bit sad he got rid of the Xone:4D, but ohh well.

very impressive, although i cant share the same passion for him as you do. i think he is a great producer, but his dj sills and personality i dont like.

referring to his dj skills this is why, all his tracks are the same tempo to avoid having to beatmatch. and as i see in that picture there is no turntables/cdj's so im guessing he does it all on software?

now these reasons i dont know 100%, jus what ive been told.

sorry for hijacking your thread though.

he has some xrazy things there though, wouldnt even know where to begin :S

[ChevChelios]

There arent turntables because he doesnt DJ, he is a "live performer, to an extent of course.

That thing is hectic, fully analog steeze, still got his jazz mutant lemur though, I never liked that thing.

johnnyB, you said that in another thread and Ill say the same thing. All his songs arent the same tempo. And it wouldnt matter if they are, break down his performances and he is not your typical DJ. He works a lot on looping and samples, he create songs from the ground up.

You cant do that with turntables.

I couldnt give a shit about his personality lol. He is a flat out geek, with shit social skills, but thats why hes such an amazing producer.

Dunno if they're called DJ skills, but they are AMAZING. seriously. He may have is music auto synced, but only cus he's doing several other things at the same time.

yeah sorry, i was speaking with out much knowledge which i probaly shouldnt of done.

im starting to realise how stubborn i am towards him, i used to refuse to see him/listen to his music after his 2 bad things he did.

im getting over it though, might even watch him at stereosonic hah

[Jaytee]

Haha I saw this on his Facebook page this morning

He's my idol as well. I was watching him playing around in the studio live on some video site, at least he talks to the fans and chats back.

But all that looks pretty techincal

[ChevChelios]

Dude I cant imagine doing all that routing live ay. So many things could go wrong.

[Cupe]

yea man what he said

i wouldn't know what to do with half of that shit

[CBG]

yeah, chev you've seen that vid on youtube where he talks about his gear?? the funny thing is that he would to all the tech stuff, a lot of DJs would have techs on hand. Crazy mother fucker/.

[ChevChelios]

Certainly have, soon he will be doing all his DMX stuff I reckon, adding more crazy gear to his setup.

[CBG]

yeah man, not to mention his new mau5 head, which is one giant led screen lol

[ChevChelios]

Hahaha silly.

[CBG]

apparantly the syth is custom made and worth around $30,000 or something. He'd make that in a week easy though lol

[ChevChelios]

WOW!!! Fuck that
