What did Madeon use Fruity Loops for in Pop Culture?
I’m again at it trying to re-create Pop Culture by Madeon (under very special conditions).
This one is going to be a lot tougher than the previous routines (Move Sexy Bitch and Vivaldi Shortcut by Pro Zeiko).
There is just one thing I don’t understand right now.
What does Madeon do with Fruity Loops in the routine? I’m not really familar with it.
he uses fruity loops??? I thought it was ableton???
He uses both. From the video-description:
I’m pretty sure he he ceates small loops/riffs in FL but does the actual performance in Ableton Live.
That sounds like even more work.
What kind of synth is he starting at 2:36
Is this the same person who has got a lot of Radio coverage now?
hai.
Straight from Wikipedia:
[quote]Leclercq has been featured on 15 Minutes of Fame, a segment of Pete Tong’s radio show on BBC Radio 1. His new track “Icarus” was played on the show as well as his remix for Deadmau5’s Raise Your Weapon. On the 27th of January 2012 he played a 20 minute set as part of a show organised by Pete Tong to showcase up and coming stars in Electronic music. He included some of his own songs such as Pop Culture and Icarus, as well as merging songs together; These ranged from Shuriken alongside Que Veux Tu and DJ, to M83’s Midnight City being played on top of a Madeon edit of Blitz by Digitalism.[4][/quote] [ame=“Madeon - Wikipedia”]Madeon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]
doesnt really matter what you use, if you are more comfortable with the workflow of a particular DAW software why not use it?
I got Cubase 6, Ableton, and also logic 9 (all education versions purchased very cheaply from my school) but i always lean towards ableton the most just because of the workflow, many of my friends argue that cubase is the best or logic is the best but i use ableton most of the time due to the workflow (eg setting up a bus / group tracks in ableton pretty much takes a single click while in cubase you have to create the bus, route the outputs etc)
i guess he uses fl because he uses it a lot and the workflow suits him the most? that alone could be a strong reason
+1
Pretty sure he also adjusts tempos and keys in FL
maybe he is rewiring a FL specific synth into ableton, no clue really about this particular performance.
you’re gonna struggle to re-produce Pop Culture… it’s not just a bunch of samples mashed up together in Ableton Live… there’s clearly some extra production and mangling of the samples that’s gone into it.
As others have said, it sounds to me like he probably used Ableton Live to get all the tunes into the right pitch/key and then used FL to arrange the loops and create new sounds and then finally used Live to do the live performance. You can see Madeon adjusting the Ableton Live quantise parameter through the tune so that he can do the breakdowns.
Whatever the case, Madeon has got a great ear for music and is clearly very talented - you can tell a lot of time/effort went into that tune/performance.
What did Madeon use Fruity Loops for in Pop Culture?
Fruity loops has a vsti that will load in any host so maybe runs fl as a vsti in Ableton

I asked himself for the stuff. He isn’t willing to give it out, neither is he fond of someone recreating it. I respect him as a musician so I just stopped the project.
Yes mate… Radio 1 are absolutely bumming him at the moment. You know what they are like, they try to grab someone early (even though he’s been around a while) and claim some kinda “Look what we found” shit.
Quite like his Deadmau5 remix.
runs and hides
Hmm, I wouldn’t let that stop you from trying. Madeon didn’t clear all the samples in Pop Culture so attempting to re-create it is no worse than Madeon making the tune in the first place! Kinda like a thief complaining about being robbed!
Karlos - agreed… the Deadmau5 remix is sweet
Since recreating it takes a shit-ton of time I can as well create.something original.
@Karlos; raise your (midi) weapon!
Yup… made it kinda Daft Punky.
He’s gonna be HUGE in UK.
I think he’s gonna seen as the DJ/Producer that its actually ok to like, you know, without the backlash like with Deadmau5/Skrillex have suffered.
but thats another topic for another day.
