This is one of Deadmau5's many live performances. He's known in his performances to wear his ionic Mouse helmet while performing.
He uses Ableton while performing and can have up to 300 rows of clips for just one performance. He usually has some effects connected to adjusts his performance live as well as compressors and many other effects and plugins.
He uses the plugin Serum while creating music as its a plugin he supports and uses a lot for his own songs.
Deadmau5 loves to use the Roland MSQ-700 as it was a classic that he used to use all the time, he also likes to use the MX4S to just mess around when he's at home making a massive sound with mixers and synth.
During the his live performances he doesn't just stick to the structure of the songs he's playing. He would include some gate effects, and flanger sounds during breakdowns to mix it up and to increase more tension for the drop in his songs.

The synth Serum is used a lot for other types of music but Deadmau5 uses it for mainly Progressive House and Electronic.
Deadmau5 uses multiple analog synthesiser when performing live as a mix up to any songs he plays during him playing live.

Prodigy 
Prodigy are an EDM group coming from Braintree and Essex's. The Prodigy formed around 1990 by Liam Howlett. The specific genres that Prodigy do are: Rave, Techno, and Big Beat.
They use Ableton while preforming as they say that its the best D.A.W out there for live performance.
They say that they use 2 computers to perform, both with Ableton on them. They say that they use 2 laptops because one is for the song, and the other plays the samples and other effects, as well as having actual effects like: reverb, end delay.
The Prodigy use the Gaia SH-01when mixing live on stage. The SH-01 was released in 2010, and is a polyphonic Synthesiser. Prodigy say that they use this on stage while performing as its something they say is very reliable while performing their songs on stage. This synth is know as a very affordable and basic synth, that even the Prodigy use while performing.
During live performances you can hear that they cut out parts of the song and add small parts from other songs. They would swap a build up for another song but at the end of the build up go back to the original chorus. They also use loops to extent the build as they then speak out to the crowd to hype them up even more. They would then stop it looping and continue with the chorus.

Pre-Live Performance

For my performance I had performed what I had practiced what I had created from my ideas and feedback. This performance I thought went well as it all went to plan apart from the fact that everything wasn't balanced properly so quiet parts of the vocals were loud and made the song sound off because the vocals were meant to be quiet. This is an easy fix as all I need to do is take the track and balance everything, and then save the track with the corrections.

3 Jobs within

Backline Technician: A Backline Technician can be a person or a group of people that provides technical support to live performances. Depending on the on what type of event they a needed in they can do a plethora of tasks to assist the performers, i.e sort out percussion or restring stringed instruments. Usually Backline Technicians are specialised in specific instruments for performances. So you could have a range of people on stand by for if an incident occurs with something like a synth stops working, or a guitar string breaks. As an example you would have a backline technician specialised in drums for that performance, so they would build the drum kit for the drum player, and keep strong communication with the drummer as if something happens to the drums, the drummer needs to tell the backline technician to he can fix it straight away. This can occur during a performance to the backline technician needs to be always ready to fix anything that goes wrong during the per...

Performance Three

For this I've used the same introduction however changed a lot with the chorus. I've made a more "Full" sounding chorus by making more percussion at the beginning of the chorus. Ive also implemented my idea of layering the vocals and increasing the pitch by +12. I still have introduce a middle verse which took a while to match as the tempo and timing was completely off, because I reloaded it in to Ableton again and had to match it up again with the tempo. After this I managed to have it match perfectly and synced some shakers and tambourines to it. I plan to just have this go straight back into the chorus. Feedback: Seb: I like how you have structured your song as it has clear progression, I also like layered vocals as the high octave sound like an eco of the lower octave, to improve I would make the kick drum more punchy. Lizzie: I like the vocals and how you have transposed the vocals. I also like the harmonising on the vocals where you have mixed high and...
