Waves plugins are one of my go-to tools when it comes to sound design. Their bundle is mind-blowing and each of their plugins is perfect for what they are made of. Waves R Surround Reverb produces rich reverb sounds that can be used in any of your styles.

To relieve the pressure, you can stretch the headband by bending it outwards placing hands on the ends of the headband - not the ear cups. You may repeat this process until you're happy with a looser fit. Laptop and Computer What kind of Laptop and computer does Deadmau5 use? Pioneer DJ Mixer, Black, 9. The reason Deadmau5 probably likes this software is because of how programmable it actually is. Aside from the built-in range of presets you can tweak and modify every single parameter.

Allowing you to create highly personalized sounds, ranging from the subtle to the abstract and deranged. Deadmau5 is known to use the Nerve Drum machine, probably because of how powerful and ahead of the game the software is.

This allows you to quickly slice loops into individual hits and visually rearrange them. Which is great when you want to roll on a high hat for example. All of these options allow you to take an otherwise ordinary drum sample and morph it into something completely new and unique. And, because of the innovation baked into the plugin, the workflow is incredibly quick.

And this is exactly what KICK lets you do. The aim of KICK is to replace using premade sample packs, in that, it allows you to design drums from scratch. While the name implies that it specializes in kicks drums you can also use it to create snares as well. You essentially start with the basic wave and then you design everything from the key of each section of the kick , through to the pitch envelope and amp.

You can even design the click frequency of a kick drum in minute detail, making it clear why Deadmau5 uses this software for his drums. CLA is a plugin that is way more powerful than the simple interface will have you believe. At its base level, it gives producers like Deadmau5 control over the Bass, Treble, Compression, Reverb, Delay, and Pitch of their vocal lines. But it actually goes further in that under each of the above is a further 3 levels of control and manipulation.

This allows you to adjust every single aspect of a recorded vocal line. The ultimate aim, of course, is to ensure that the vocal sits perfectly within the mix of your track.

This is very important in EDM as tracks can get very noisy so it would be easy to lose vocals or have them overpowered by the bassline for example.

By integrating a preamp into the mic, Neumann have made it suitable for recording both vocals and live instruments. They have also done an excellent job of blocking background noise which makes it incredibly clean when recording.

The C is another industry-standard mic used in many different studios. Like the above, it serves as an all-rounder that can be used to record everything from vocals to acoustic instruments. The Monome was pretty unique when it came out but has since been mimicked by several companies. Not least the Novation Launchpad. Deadmau5 used to use the Monome for his live shows but with the progression of technology, plus the technicality of his cube shows, it has become virtually redundant.

It was one of the first that truly turned Ableton into an instrument. Being both a standalone unit and MIDI-enabled, the Maschine is highly versatile and reliable when it comes to live performance. Funktion One are legendary in the club scene and their speaker stacks are often found in the best clubs worldwide. Specifically, he has been known to use the E25 amplifiers. Designed with the touring artist in mind, the E series are lightweight while still delivering high-quality sound and the reliability needed from equipment to withstand the rigors of constant moving.

They are also adjustable meaning that the low distortion limiters for example can be set to his individual needs. Built to emulate hardware, the plugin gives you the option of switching between various types of hardware construction.

You can switch between Steel, Iron and Nickel transformer types, all of which have their own characteristics when it comes to distortion and limiting. Essentially built as three compressors in one unit, producers can switch between and finely manipulate multiple compression sounds.

This means the plugin is able to produce a weighty and loud bottom end that does not overpower the highs. This makes it perfect for the type of music that Deadmau5 produces.
