**does anybody know what david guetta is using?**

production wise I know that once you get enough coin the sky is the limit on how much equipment you can buy, but i recently saw a behind the scenes on tv for a video shoot of his and i missed it when he said what he was using for production he said hi mac book and something else, I was in shock and couldnt remember.  
how a world class dj/producer made super huge tracks just using his laptop a midi and i cant recall what software  
IF THERE IS ANYONE WITH THIS INFO OR WITH A GENERAL IDEA OF WHAT he is using or what major record label producers are using i would appreciate it and also sticker price.  
🙂

I always thought it was his prodigious use of the “Suck knob” in his mixes.

sellout = fame money party sex drugs and rock and roll  
but i wanted to know because i dont want to make beats that sound like shht because of a shhty program that lacks depth (sound quality wise)  
so why not use him as an example plus he is the one I heard saying he only uses his computer and midi.

and me wanting to do de most with the minimum why not.  
p.s. lol @ simon says

I appreciate the response though

I bet you would’ve sold out for riches, fame, and fortune too 🙂. If you wouldn’t you are truly a unique person - for a lack of a better word 😛.

Someone produces for him and then slaps his name on it when someone ask him to produce for them and slap their name on it?

does he suck so much he even needs someone else to suck for him?

Haha those videos made my day!

Apparently he was pretty good DJ a few years ago (as in performance DJ) but sadly his productions haven’t exactly been top notch.

What actually blows my mind is that his first massively popular single (Love don’t let me go (walking away),which I loved at the time) was actually just a mash up and didn’t have much to do with him at all. Here’s the original track:

[![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/techtools/original/3X/0/a/0a71d215da7bbfee06cc722a5f5946fc5e990ecc.jpeg "The Egg - Walking Away (Tocadisco Remix) (Good Quality!)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnRycfG9sP4)

and here’s the guetta version:

[![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/techtools/original/3X/9/4/94416fc98f338ba8a2b2d6e95a12bd926246f4af.jpeg "David Guetta vs. The Egg - Love Don't Let Me Go (Ultra Music)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6e3R-aA2LA)

Even worse, in 2010 he then totally recycled the same idea to make this:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/8l_PDohwPu4?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque

That’s why I have no respect for David Guetta as a producer. Total lack of originality.

**David Guetta**

No one knew who David Guetta was until every DJ in San Antonio began blaring Sexy Bitch at every birthday, wedding, club, and baby shower. Okay, the baby shower is a stretch, but seriously, everywhere including iTunes. Top 40 music rules this city! You would think that the invention of the internet would open some minds. Kids these days should recognize good DJing and good music! The song is bad enough. Now, I have to hear people, NOT DJs, pretend to mix this crap. Rock on commercial America!🙄 Fred Falke’s commercial remixes at least sound decent if not better than the originals. He knows what’s up. So does Burns.
