Deadmau5 - Strobe (Ableton and E-SX live set with iPad, Launchpad and SH-201)

This is Strobe, the ending track of Deadmau5's "For Lack Of A Better Name". One of the best song I've ever heard :)
It's been a long time since I wanted to cover it but I never took the time to think it through ... Until now !
I wanted to do something with the ESX because I really love to play live on this piece of gear so I tried to sync it with Ableton and fortunatly, it worked pretty well ! So the parts are written down on the electribe and routed to Ableton whose playing the sounds (except for the intro, it's written directly on Ableton).
The filming process took me a long time because as you may see, I was pretty stressed out every time I tried to record it ... Playing this 10 minute song without any mistake IS hard !
I really hope you like it :)
(Oh and sorry for the sh*ty video quality ... Someday I'll buy one of those GoPro cam ...)

For those who ask : the app on the iPad is called touchAble, please support them, they're doing a great job !

If it's so easy, let's see you do it.

Download a DAW and make a song that's even an eighth as good as this song. I guarantee you the second you open the program up and see how much actually goes into music production, you'll give up. It's much more complicated than you think.

People like you are toxic to human creativity. Music is music, why does the the way it's created matter? Just enjoy the ride and stop trying to find reasons to hate.

You know that playing piano IS actually just pressing buttons ?

[CorillionRecords]

[Nate Fuller]

I have NO idea how one could even begin to do all this. This is so entertaining just to see how everything works. I'll stick with my bass and rhythm section though hahah. You and the other pros keep doin' what your doin'.

[Gabriel Chin]

How would u do it? .-.

[Gabriel Chin]

chill bro...

[Alison PKD]

And Defenziv, you're probably just as ignorant for making such a shallow comment.

[Alison PKD]

HOW DARE YOU. JUST PRESSING BUTTONS, WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS IS. *Intermediate pianist.

-_- People are so ignorant.

Playing piano is much different from pressing mothefucking buttons.

Playing I think is when you press the keys to rhythm to make music

Aside from that, Jerome,You sound quite ignorant. So quick to judge.
