What gear is DeadMau5 using?
I had the pleasure to help Joel Zimmerman, aka DeadMau5, setup his gear not once but two times at the Austin Electronic Music Festival.
DeadMau5 uses a very unique setup. He’s running Abelton Live on a 17″ MacBook Pro ($2-3k) outputting to an Apoge Ensemble ($2k) soundcard. He’s using a 16×16 (256) Monome controller ($800) for what I’m not totally sure and a touch screen Lemur ($3k) made by Jazz Mutant to control his effects. He’s running 4 stereo outs from his Ensemble to whatever club mixer is at hand, in our case, a Pioneer DJM-800($1600) which was also setup with a Pioneer EFX-1000 ($800). On his latest tour, he was using a Allen & Heath Xone 4D. As far as I could tell, he used everything that he brought and used it well.
Another quick video talking about the Monome and other parts of his live seutp.

remove NO & SPAM =)
lol, dont sell your car man. check the subfocus tutorials on youtube, check the equipment he’s using. get a cheap copy of fruity loops or the cheapest copy of cubase (le, se, something like that) and NI massive or rob papens albino. theres enough there to focus on for the next 3-5 years. programming synths is the way forward.
try a demo of fruity, check out the demo songs.
Haha, Ctrl+Deadmau5 on the Lemur.
much obliged!
