Play with the mau5 (Deadmau5 Mashup)

I just posted my second Mashup.
It is a combination of Techno and Pop

I have used Ableton Live to wrap and cut the songs.
And I added a couple of filters delays and a gater.

Songs used:
“Some Chords” (Deadmau5)
“Turn the Beat Around” (Gloria Estafan)

I am quite pleased about the end result.
But I am searching for some good compressors and a EQ to make it sound fatter a 1,27.
All comment’s are welcome.

You need to fix it so both of the songs are in the same key.

3

IMO sounds kinda hectic :confused:

4

I have checked both songs with and without FX but the both are in A#.
I will try to listen if extra careful if something is off.

5

Trust me, they aren’t in the same key. Can’t always trust the computer reading. You play any musical instruments?

6

I play guitar, but that is way back.
I must train my ears to hear the correct key.

Any tips, is there a option to play a key where I can tune to?

7

you can adjust the key of any audio clip in ableton. use your ears.

8

Can I do that without havening the original or midi tracks?
I have looked on YouTube and Google. Do you have a good tutorial or a good search?

I have tried to use a online key board to check the key. Can I be that the song of DM5 is played in G# and does anyone know if there is a VST keyboard for Ableton with corresponding labels to the Camelot wheel?

9

I’ve been playing around for a while to get the right key
I guess that DM5 is played in G# does anyone know a good VST synthesizer to check the key?

I haven followed some tutorial about notes and chords. I belief the “Some Chords” is played in F# major.
But is or isn’t “Turn the Beat Around” in A# major in the same half-steps: 4-3?

I don’t know if this a correct way of doing this. I also tried the Camelot Wheel and I guess it on 11A and 11B.
I like to know if I have the chord right so I can learn how to match a perfect my mashups

I just checked it on a keyboard. Some Chords is most definitely G#m.

If you want to mash them together in the way that you did, I would suggest using another song in G#m, otherwise it will just sounds off.

I am not an Ableton user so I can’t comment on warping to the correct key. I know though, that Some Chords is G#m.

Some Chords is def in G#m
