haha.. far out.. Image-Line really put there foot in it here..
i never really liked FL studio much anyway.
yeah very ironic that Deadmau5 is releasing a sample cd just as this happens…sounds just like he complained at some point with the sample cd in mind..and its caused a big fuss, and Image Line are trying to cover their asses and being complete units in the process, thats not much of an answer.. but yeah good riddance to those loops :P

Pretty poor form for anyone to use any sample/loop unaltered as the basis for an (ahem)”original” work. But then on the other hand, I can’t believe how often you see somebody asking, ” How do I get X’s bass-drum-synth-lead sound…”. Really now if you are that intent on copying your hero, don’t bother selling your work.

I do have to differ a bit on the synth preset issue however that popped up in some of the posts in this thread. I don’t see anything wrong with using a preset, if that is the sound that fits your tune. And I haven’t seen many synth EULA that prohibit using them. That’s why VSTi come with presets after all, isn’t it?

@billyjoebob;

Just don’t sell the song and you won’t have to worry, my music is always free but I never use loops anyways.

I just beef up everything so it sounds nothing like the original instrument, though most of the shit I use I make myself, so I don’t have to keep remaking old FL samples to sound the way I want them to.

Thats right. Murakami for many years has made 100’s of variations of this mouse head art. Below is a link to just one of them.

Deadmau5 needs to shut his er..trap and stick to making tunes.

Interesting that this guy bitches about stealing…

Just a lil tidbit for everyone… the whole deadmau5 mouse head, logo etc… all stolen!!!

He blatently took the idea and design from a famous japanese artist named “Takashi Murakami”. Some of his artwork that goes way back in years, looks EXACTLY like the stuff deadmau5 is using today.

Hmm….

The problem with these forums and comment deals is that you all say the same thing over and b/s a bit much…. who cares if deadmau5’s samples cant be used in your song and who cares if your bitter about the simplicity and complexity of making a good track. You guys are haters… The dood makes epic tracks, enough said…. post a site to your music if you think yours is better….

Judging from the picture he looks like an arrogant bastard. I mean I can see both sides to the story but something about that giant mouse head makes me want to get a baseball bat.
