Madeon - Pop Culture (Half) Cover by Jon Selfridge

[jvbmportugal]

anyone can tell me the samples from the solo? it is from a song or what?

[xtremegamerx3]

nice job man

[Scotium]

It's like a rhythm game lolol

[UglyToontown]

You killed it

[UTO0O0B]

Lol! Good effort my friend! I'm sure Madeon will be proud of ya!!

[kikech4]

Very good man

[leahcim4355]

Nice work. I think the only thing that could make this sound better is a different piano instrument/sample and a different drum kit. might just be the recording/youtube, but otherwise, props! This is impressive!

[DocNoland4362]

Very good, would love to learn that skill

[KindaSlimShady]

Not bad!

[steveguy805]

what samples are you using for the solo if not vst?

[WorstTutorialsEVER]

i made a tutorial

[nitro329]

What drum VST do you use? Everything sounds über realistic! I love it!

[LewisWakeMusic]

The "Oh" sample you're looking for is from Ellie Goulding's Starry Eyed.

[Bally46]

Good effort!

[totalyruben]

im using the same launch pad mate where did you get all the samples from mate and how did you set it up

[BizzleCopterr]

nice...

[HarryTroller]

You did a great job man!

[XxDJSilverStonexX]

Very good job, you're not on the bad way !

[Supremee022]

@15jon187643 If you know how to make a madeon's cover you should do music esay. Am I right? Keep it doing :)

[narfuzs]

why? :(

[shimmertone]

Congrats! That was impressive. But wouldn't it have been better to make your own? Then you'd have owned the copyright and all! I Enjoyed it though. Keep it up!x

[LilB4LiFe64]

do you think its possible to do a cover of this on a MPD 18?

[PwningIRL]

@LilB4LiFe64

Not enough buttons

[AstrioOfficial]

well done!

[TheGuyNamedAnon]

And then Maedon made a new genre of music. Megasuperultragiant Mashups.

[Deltron14]

@TheGuyNamedAnon I don't know...him and DJ Earworm may have converged on this new phenomenon of "Megasuperultragian Mashups"

[MrEffix76]

pas mal, mais toujours moins bien que Madeon ! bel effort félicitations quand même !

[werwertuu]

Would you be so kind and upload the file or send me a link privately?

[TheMalteMusic]

Okay can someone tell me from wich song is the kick @ 0:19 ??PLEASE

[hairybratwurst]

@TheMalteMusic viva la vida

[Rea1493]

@TheMalteMusic it's actually the intro from Alphabeat's Fascination

[Jaytecktonik808]

Props :D

[GriftandGrime]

holy fuck

[EffinMatty]

keep it up, man....great job

[comodozin]

Very nice covered dude!

[gugs51]

1:53 biggg fail .... song and fingers.... =/

[vfede1]

Great great cover from a human covering a super-human like Madeon!

[videoboudreau]

Great vid man!

[Artof206]

what song?

[LIGHTSTRIKER28]

can you put a link to download it?

[clstirens]

Excellent recreation, just came here from a video made by a Faker

[beatsnsuch]

Anyone know what song the main drumbeat in this mashup is? I can't hear it in any of those tracks.

[XDjkwestarX]

@15jon187643 idk if you'll read this but when working with samples in ableton go into them and change "beats" to "complex pro" they will sound MUCH better.

cheers. btw ur amazing :D

[PJSMusic1]

Awesome job!

[harrykdj]

pretty good.

[TheImposer]

Wow, great cover!

By the way, how did you achieve the up-pitched effect in the first note clip in Ableton? Modifying the pitch envelope?

[iLuuKee]

Thats amaqzing mate, sounded spot on

[3llubEt]

1.This is not real

2. Madeon - Pop Culture (live mashup) is real

3.Bye

[ChiptomRHCP]

@3llubEt Its a cover dohh

[legendxu2]

@3llubEt dumb fuck. read atleast the title if you're to lazy to read the description. it's not madeon it's a cover of madeon pop culture. I get so annoyed by those stupid comments. This guy did a good job on that cover. and also, don't post stupid things. you are nothing compared with this guy ;)

[Jizonelos]

@3llubEt You are majorly retarded, this is a remake, and it is also real since it is not playback or either a 3D animation you herp derp.

Grow some brain.

3. Bye.

[omarei]

@3llubEt You put enough effort into posting that douchebag comment you could have just read the title first.

[Sphereal]

There are some tuning problems with some of the samples, man. Other than that, great cover.

Check out my mashup!

[RenzBeats]

Yeah fucking good cover man, would've been hard haha

[theloopmasta]

better than madeon

[pbarragan1]

That's Amazing!! I was planing to do something like that! But it seemed to be a lot of work to find all the tracks :P Good work man!! Can you kindly put the project to download? :D

[theFiXacion]

Where do you get all the audio clips ?

[djnewbreed]

That was awesome, I'm still trying to figure out the soloing part for my launchpad lol...

[thirstofink]

@djnewbreed me too!!! i have no idea what to do for the solo part, and cant find the drum beats, no idea what songs they from

[Jonnieeb]

@thirstofink the tracklist is on madeons live mashup video. working out where exactly each song comes into it on the other hand is something else entirely...i can only work out maybe 15

[SickBroProductions]

DENVER LAX = BRO AS HELL

[Hawkzeh]

Tell you what, this is the best cover I've heard so far. At least you're actually playing it :D

[deadhope]

It's a bit different. lol.

[thirstofink]

How do you do the solo bit???

[Frodrokok]

good shit man :)

[DJLuchii]

Tutorial video..... NOW!!!!!!!

[barmore11]

wow. simply wow

[TheMushinguin]

This is amazing kid!! I dont give a fuck if you dont have a Zero SL Mk2!! you did it!

[mlmusic1]

good stuff jon. keep it up.

[MicrowaveMechanics]

Great work dude! :D

[thirstofink]

Dude, how long does that take you to write the live set?? its taking me forever!!! Can you post your live set??

[thirstofink]

Whats the clips from the first 5seconds?? i cant find it!! 1 is from shooting stars, but duno the other 2

[smokeydadj]

fucking awesome

[voodoofriends64]

It's almost EXACT. Great Job.

[MrJuanisimmo]

Que bueno man... Congrats

[ANG3LZR3ap3r]

GREAT EFFORT MAN :D 3 STARS

[courtneyjayne15]

Everyone who watches this video should go to Madeon - Pop Culture (Remake) by DaWiz and tell him what a loser he is for playing the original "Pop Culture" by Madeon in the background and pretending to play his KORG padKONTROL. Great job, Jon. I love your attempt.

[TRYER25]

An alright cover *** Stars

[T0mmmmi]

+1 impressive.

[xiopic]

Remix of a remix? I like the first one better but I feel that this guy could do something good if he tried

[riffboy6987]

woww im impressed

[tomsaouz]

Good Cover !

[Reieuamdu]

Very Very good job. You are WELL on your way to producing, keep it up. Hats off sir. I would Run the main feed through a compressor, add an air pad layer under, triggered 3/4 on the 'pressor. This will assist in 'filling' the empty space. Increase the sound buffer from the sampler to the mixer (add more latency) clean up the weirdness, with a touch to the tempo..up..check *all* your levels..and listen to it until you feel that each instrument is being observed at the same volume.

peace.

[Cidro1000]

why do something that has already been done? why dont you come up with your own song?

[TRYER25]

@Cidro1000 Wish all the rappers and pop singers could do the same, but unlikely=Z

[JAMTHEMANX]

is it the madeon remix of quex tu vu reversed in some way??anybody>?

[JAMTHEMANX]

what is the second sample that starts with the shooting stars drums... the high strings???

[clutchmsilvap]

You sir... are... amazing!

[blabla12331]

Really good, dude :)

[Murda95oo]

how did u do this because i have launchpad ableton suite 8 and max for live but i have no idea ....

[EmersonXmusic]

You need to tune the samples man. Good attempt nonetheless.

[DjayJasper]

btw, were did yu get all the samples?

[Bakanoizu]

@DjayJasper rip them yourself...?

[gospeldjsuk]

Anyone know how he makes the lights come on/stay on in user mode 2?

[kalloused]

Wow, really really good job.

[EndlosMusic]

That was excellent!

[FossiledHearts]

Lol you stretched the madonna sample(i dont know how he made it synch to the beat without a close bpm but yeah he did something else at that part)

[DjayJasper]

if yu hit one of the "non lit up keys" (for lack of a better description), does it cancel sample sounds from that corresponding row and/or coloum? (see, 1:45, last coloum)

[Xeon927]

@DjayJasper I have a Launchpad, and I can confirm that yes, hitting an empty track slot does stop any playing tracks in the column.

[DjayJasper]

@Xeon927 thanks dude! just ordering one online as we speak!

[Xeon927]

@DjayJasper I can personally assure you that it is an awesome buy. I use mine mainly for a soundboard on the Podcast that I record weekly. Either way, it is a preally useful device.

[afkham7]

not bad dude.

[beiz08]

This is actually Madeon troling us!

[Hannesexy]

@beiz08 Really? :D how do you know?

[Gigatless]

@beiz08 yeah with his 17 years old hairy hands.

[ddrmetal]

Now that you went there you can create your fockin track and become

Rich

[TheRealTSX]

Wow this is not bad man somethings a bit out of time and you missed a couple of buttons but good attempt

[afkham7]

@TheRealTSX yeah for real not bad, althought it would be incredibly hard to imitate it exactly lol

[BlueEyedXz1]

good job, sounds great, you should add more vibrato and attack to the lead for making it sound more similar :) . Keep up the good work.

[RedspadesX]

Good effort, lil annoying that the tracks are all diff bitrates though.

[DJBLAHBOI]

awesome

[AustinDixson]

GREAT JOB! Ive been watching this and madeons video religiously, i just got and apc40. Please send me your ableton project file!

[TheFuzzyShotHD]

what is that u usin?

[WarriYoMusic]

@TheFuzzyShotHD It's called a Launchpad.

[joselui120db100]

You should have mastered the songs a bit more so the sound doesn´t change so much from part to part. But its awesome

[thecottonwolf]

I think there's some timing issues... almost the entire way through and with triggering of most samples. if you can figure those out you'll have it perfect.

[colserra11]

nice one :)

[D3adCl0wn]

a little more editing in the samples and this is 100% the same GOOD JOB sir! :D

[ishkabibblez]

what song is the "WOW" from?

[iansull]

@ishkabibblez seriously, that gets me every time too. that WOW / ROAR took the song from incredible to my favorite.

[ishkabibblez]

@iansull do you know what song it is from?

[iansull]

@ishkabibblez I wish I did. :( if you figure it out, and for some reason remember this comment exchange, please let me know. ill do the same if I do.

[ishkabibblez]

@iansull Kylie Minogue - Wow :)

[iansull]

@ishkabibblez Thanks! :D

[rambororschach]

WOW what an awesome attempt!!!! Seriously 99.9999% there!

[maaaaaarc]

Not bad!

[wolfteam000]

good job! and it helps me see which sample is from which song niceee

[LAconfidentialguitar]

Bof

[JoaoTondela]

That Aerodynamic is so amazing

[xraysucks]

Nice man... I like it...!!!

[Sphereal]

Very good, man.

[Shapetsau]

You are sick man. Why you try copy other's song. Make yourself your own staff.

[opakoner378]

Why do you make the music of madeon ? you're gay ?

[AFreakingDumbaccount]

I liked this version

[11000010101]

You should have made a "Here are 39 songs Madeon likes" thingy =P

[petarjuric]

@11000010101 HOW DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR NAME...

[VMSDKR]

@petarjuric

Well wow, just 10 digits. You can't remember any phone numbers aswell?

[ExiVz]

@VMSDKR 11 digits -.-

[bobomb111]

@VMSDKR It could be more like 3 and a bit.

[11000010101]

@petarjuric why would I have trouble remembering it? =P

[ATeam68]

@petarjuric hahaha it's probably easy for him since it's just 1557 in binary

[TheRobeq]

@petarjuric its just 1557 in dec. xD

[gabicdiniz]

Nice try man.

[PimpmyNuggets]

dirtttttttty nice job keep it up

[Tuxedo030]

What around the instruments you and Madeon use called?

[konichiwa8e]

@Tuxedo030 i believe it's the Novation Launchpad.

[SYKofficial]

not bad, some of the samples were a bit butchered by ableton though, specifically Aerodynamic sounds like the autowarp kinda seized out a bit.

all in all a decent cover though :)

[MrMojo191]

from what song is the part that plays from 1:18 til around 1:40?? all i can make out is "so silly" i think. thanks :)

[xBullet2]

@MrMojo191 "Time goes by so slowly", pretty sure its a song by kylie minogue

[xBullet2]

@xBullet2 Err, madonna rather

[radzizny7]

@MrMojo191 Madonna - Hung Up

[guilhermeura]

Congrats man!

[iMorands]

nice try but he's ever the best

[OnlyOnGunz]

not bad, but control the volume! it's not stabile!

[TheEtienne98]

super boulot



[pimpylongstockings1]

Denver Lacrosse? :D

[wizzracket]

nice one

[d3stroyah]

it's not bad but the difficult part for madeon was thinking about how to put every song together, not pressing buttons to play them! :D

[ChompNom]

Honestly speaking, that was REALLYGOOD!

[Systice4]

@15jon187643 Do you have the set download for the Launchpad software?

[blknikes90]

WOW!  nice job man

[CmOaRhEeYr]

this is suprisingly really good!

[cokecl]

Beautiful!!!! check the time stretch algorythm you are using, some clips sound choppy because you have them on "beats" warp mode, at least it sounded like that to me.

CONGRATS!

[blaqksaosin]

nice job man!

[z00100]

Mad props dude!!! Very nice!!

[ace101guy]

I has teh same midi keyboard ^_^

[Farmschwiem]

Pretty alright. I think the levels are a bit off. The pads and synths shouldn't cover up the melody in my opinion. Also some of your samples were cut a bit early or late sometimes, and some chords weren't all there. And the solo...not good. Other than that, it was mostly ok.

[DJTribulation]

Hey, im actually gonna be covering this song for a talent show at my school, and Im getting a launchpad this christmas. I was wondering if anyone could give me any information I should know about it so I can better ready myself?

[bennytyp89]

N1

[brianbx27]

madeon's fingers movements have as... more grace, but nice job man

[THEkidNurCLOSET]

niceeee job brrooohaa
