Fucking awesome. Porter is one of my favorite producers. All of his Electro House mixes he's dropped lately are just perfect. Can't wait to see him live.
does This video prove that Traktor S4 is clubworthy? Zedd uses S4 too while on tour... sincerely, from a beginner who is always bullied because he uses S4 at parties..
You're probably getting bullied by uncreative big room djs who wouldn't even go near traktor or remix decks. They just don't like you for being individual.
Bass music without Harmor is possible but a lot harder, relies on manual resynthesis, and trying to get anywhere near a decent vocoder sound without Vocodex.
That advice at the end was probably the best advice that any artist could give anyone, and i'm not being sarcastic or anything like that actually makes people realize that they don't just sit down and make amazing music in a really short period of time like a lot of people think they do but they work their asses off to get where they are.
Deadmau5 mainly uses Cubase and Ableton ;) FL is a good DAW anyway. Not my favourite but it's just my opinion. Feed Me and Savant use FL as well ;) And Feed Me is hands down one of the best producers out there.
Very true. I often forget about Reason but they are definitely in the old FL Studio model where they had their own generators and let you cut loose on them. Very good program too if that is your thing. I totally agree it is the person using it. They all have similar functions. The ones I use primarily today are: FL,Sonar, Maschine and sometimes Cubase. I guess Traktor too because I tend to dump stems I made in other programs into there so I can cut them up on the decks before my final mix.
I use FL Studio myself and i have found so many of the same kind of sounds made in Ableton or Logic and i find alot of artist Underground Artist being signed by the major Records like Spinnin' Records and Ultra Records that get signed and have said that they find FL Studio so amazing to make music so it's not a matter of what program is more detailed or what program is for "professionals" but the fact of how your music will sound in the end to get those crowds pumped up wanting more happy DJing!
FL Studio is awesome if you know how to use it. I think people are saying that it's for "newbies" because the interface looks simpler than many other DAWs so it seems like it's more basic, but in reality any producer who knows what he/she is doing can make good use of it. Personally, I make a lot of my loops in FL Studio and then arrange and mix my tracks in Ableton.
So true!! Except for one thing, Reason doesn't support VST but is still an awesome DAW. People hate on it for not having vst's but a lot of great songs are made in Reason. Which DAW do you personally prefer? I've tested them all. Started with FL studio, then tried Cubase and Ableton but didn't like them. Switched to Reason for a long time and made some good tunes in it. Now since 2 months I switched to Logic because i bought a Mac and I think it's awesome. But still it's the person, not the DAW
dude a vsti will sound exactly the same in Fl Studio as in Ableton and a sample will also sound the same in both sequencers. ableton MAY have more standard features or plugins idk, but a vst is a vst and a sample is still a sample.
A dj's job has always been to get the crowd going. Mixing songs keeps the rythm going, which keeps the atmosphere pumping. The way he mixes the songs isn't important in my opinion, it's choosing the exact right songs for the crowd that night. And maybe the time taken to beatmatch manually would make you miss the perfect moment for mixing in the next song.
Hey guys, i really don't get what he says about incoming producers, can someone translate what he said? (sorry i need more practice with english, its pretty hard, and i dont get some parts...) Thanks!
@eerrrrrrfolks I don't understand why people hate on a certain DAW.Yes, some are easier to use than others, or more useful for a certain type of music, but in a very broad sense, most mainstream DAW's used today get the same job done. I've used many different DAW's and the only reason I use Ableton Live now is because of it's extremely fast learning curve and easy to navigate and use. I have also used FL studio, and beside Ableton, that would probably be my second choice.
i use fl studio and people totally misjudge me for that!!! but what i think is whatever your best at working with is what you should use! unless you strive on learning new software but i prefer to stick to recognised ground
@congrainshinny I think you misunderstood my comment. I'm simply pointing out the fact that his music and all that he's accomplished is amazing for his age. I'm comparing it to the mixes I make to showcase how good he is for being 18. I fail to see how I "used my age as marketing".
Yeah just like guitar or piano or any other music making instrument or even just like anything that takes experience as long as your good with music and can feel the rhythm and know the beat you can make music out of anything and make a kicking track that everyone will jump up wanting for or whatever floats your boat. thanks for agreeing i wonder if you use any of these DAWs because i think you understand the rare quality of making music which is not to impress others but to feel it inside :)
Good for him. That doesn't make him the end all be all. Different DAWs have different workflows. Some people prefer one to the other. Shit, a lot of artists are still using logic and reason. Doesn't mean they suck.
@cokenEbachio Dude chill. I was just sayin that it doesn't work well with serato because it's really tightly integrated for traktor. and btw both traktor and serato are good softwares and are really similar
He doesn’t need a dj bag now, he has his own festival
you've grown a lot porter
we're so proud of you
Fucking awesome. Porter is one of my favorite producers. All of his Electro House mixes he's dropped lately are just perfect. Can't wait to see him live.
does This video prove that Traktor S4 is clubworthy? Zedd uses S4 too while on tour...
sincerely, from a beginner who is always bullied because he uses S4 at parties..
of course the s4 is clubworthy, zedd used an s4 on ultra mainstage this year hahaha
The s4 is perfection for any Dj.
ignore them, they probably don't know what it means to be "clubworthy" anyways
Bugar Nugroho Everything's clubworthy nowadays! Just use whatever's most comfortable for you to make the best performance you can make.
You're probably getting bullied by uncreative big room djs who wouldn't even go near traktor or remix decks.
They just don't like you for being individual.
I honestly don't get the point of arguing over DAWs, you are most going to be using 3rd party plug-ins anyway, so they're all pretty much the same
Bass music without Harmor is possible but a lot harder, relies on manual resynthesis, and trying to get anywhere near a decent vocoder sound without Vocodex.
You can still buy those for ableton
That advice at the end was probably the best advice that any artist could give anyone, and i'm not being sarcastic or anything like that actually makes people realize that they don't just sit down and make amazing music in a really short period of time like a lot of people think they do but they work their asses off to get where they are.
What a kid...
look him up now
@@s8v1 best comeback ever!!
vaya humillacion jsjsj
It's actually kinda heartening to see a fully digital setup being rocked to crowd like that.
2:18 The most inspiring thing i've ever heard from any producer :) Porter Robinson, you are now my most favorite producer ever.
see this man live and you'll see why he uses sync. best damn dj i've ever heard, and i've seen at least 25+ others.
Ohmygosh Porter Robinson is amazing. Just everything he does is... beautiful.
Still true
Very fascinating interview. Its weird that PR is 5 years my junior and I look up to him. Thanks DJTT for this.
I am so psyched that my live/dj plan includes all of the things he uses. Hell fucking yeah.
One of the best DJs ever!
These DJs/producers always look like they're having so much fun on stage! Keep it up! =)
this guy made Everything to Me
The song throughout the ENTIRE video is Porter's "Say My Name"
Cordially,
Your editor.
19yo with and attitude like that dude definatley deserves everything hes getting
i fucking love this video of porter -- he is fuckign hilarious -- love you porter!!
Deadmau5 mainly uses Cubase and Ableton ;)
FL is a good DAW anyway. Not my favourite but it's just my opinion.
Feed Me and Savant use FL as well ;)
And Feed Me is hands down one of the best producers out there.
it doesn't matter what program you use! as long as you make amazing music that's all that matters
Porter is the man. I wish I knew what synths and stuff he uses though. Surprising to hear that he produces in FL studio
Haters gonna hate, DJ's gonna play
love that he used deckadance. im transitioning into traktor from that right now. thanks for the encouragement!
Very true. I often forget about Reason but they are definitely in the old FL Studio model where they had their own generators and let you cut loose on them. Very good program too if that is your thing. I totally agree it is the person using it. They all have similar functions. The ones I use primarily today are: FL,Sonar, Maschine and sometimes Cubase. I guess Traktor too because I tend to dump stems I made in other programs into there so I can cut them up on the decks before my final mix.
man respect for porter.
What is that thing next to the S4?? Something with black buttons, is a sound card or something like that?? Thanks
I use FL Studio myself and i have found so many of the same kind of sounds made in Ableton or Logic and i find alot of artist Underground Artist being signed by the major Records like Spinnin' Records and Ultra Records that get signed and have said that they find FL Studio so amazing to make music so it's not a matter of what program is more detailed or what program is for "professionals" but the fact of how your music will sound in the end to get those crowds pumped up wanting more happy DJing!
FL Studio Till I Die. Im So Chuffed That Porter Uses It, He's One Of My Favourite Producers!
Does he only use the Traktor S4 during shows? Cause i saw the CDJs and was wondering if he used those as well during the show
What software is he running for djing? I totally missed it, I know he's using fl for production.
FL Studio is awesome if you know how to use it. I think people are saying that it's for "newbies" because the interface looks simpler than many other DAWs so it seems like it's more basic, but in reality any producer who knows what he/she is doing can make good use of it.

he is awesome
So true!! Except for one thing, Reason doesn't support VST but is still an awesome DAW. People hate on it for not having vst's but a lot of great songs are made in Reason. Which DAW do you personally prefer? I've tested them all. Started with FL studio, then tried Cubase and Ableton but didn't like them. Switched to Reason for a long time and made some good tunes in it. Now since 2 months I switched to Logic because i bought a Mac and I think it's awesome. But still it's the person, not the DAW
@McCrackinHouseMusic So you have used FL Studio?
Yes its the standard traktor software that can run on mac os or windows computers
yeah your right, but what kirkmester555 means is not the he is missing the cross faders, but an up and down fader
What does he have on his PC/Mac runnning during the performance?
dude a vsti will sound exactly the same in Fl Studio as in Ableton and a sample will also sound the same in both sequencers. ableton MAY have more standard features or plugins idk, but a vst is a vst and a sample is still a sample.
where can i download the intro song?? pleassssseee!!!!!! :D
HE USES OLD SPICE! :O
Well that explains the sudden rise to awesomeness.
Legend! His EP Spitfire is out now!!!
I respect the work ethic shout out!
What computer program does he use??
what is the name of the music software that porter use? :)
D-Jasper Official. Thank god you're the official D-Jasper. I'd hate to have mistaken you as an unofficial one.
That would have been useful if i could actually hear what he was saying over the noise of the track in the 'background'
hey... i got a question. why did proter use FL studio?? im no haten jus i always heard abelton was wayyy better?
I love you. Your awesome! I cant wait to see you on saturday @ the grad in SLO, Cali. ^_^
A dj's job has always been to get the crowd going. Mixing songs keeps the rythm going, which keeps the atmosphere pumping. The way he mixes the songs isn't important in my opinion, it's choosing the exact right songs for the crowd that night.

Hey guys, i really don't get what he says about incoming producers, can someone translate what he said? (sorry i need more practice with english, its pretty hard, and i dont get some parts...) Thanks!
why would he use fl studio? not saying its not powerful enough, but its a trend to use live more with all these electro artists.
So wait, is there a traktor software that allows you to make music?
Yeah, that's cause he plays at least a minute of every song, usually more. He used to control his own lighting and smoke fx too.
As Hardwell says, if the software is there, why not use it?
whats the track called around 0:30 ?
I use both FL and Ableton love both
whats the song in the background!?!?!?!?!?
THIS IS INSPIRES ME!
whats the track in the background?
traktor s4 software ca be use on mac os 10.5.8?
which song is at 1:24 in background??
@Liraza17 won't i need to re install mac tho?
What was the song in the background
@eerrrrrrfolks I don't understand why people hate on a certain DAW.Yes, some are easier to use than others, or more useful for a certain type of music, but in a very broad sense, most mainstream DAW's used today get the same job done.

I have also used FL studio, and beside Ableton, that would probably be my second choice.
@D4NI3LGONZALEZZ nope, its adding windows to your hard drive no reinstall needed. just google boot camp or windows on mac
what song is playing in the video?
Well said. Well said.
does he play using this setup at festivals these days?
anyone know what kind of controller that is again??
Few do, most turn them of and enable them when they come in handy at a transition
its cause madeon uses fl studio to produce, he only uses ableton for his dj set
look up dream by yong tapz X the definition....that is a track I produced, where are your tunes at batty?
Anyone else think those 2 midi fighter t-shirts are quite disturbing?
i use fl studio and people totally misjudge me for that!!! but what i think is whatever your best at working with is what you should use! unless you strive on learning new software but i prefer to stick to recognised ground
whats the song in the backround
so what if they use fl studio? not the DAW, the vst plugins matter.
No, with FL. He has a video with Future Music In the Sudio
@congrainshinny I think you misunderstood my comment. I'm simply pointing out the fact that his music and all that he's accomplished is amazing for his age. I'm comparing it to the mixes I make to showcase how good he is for being 18. I fail to see how I "used my age as marketing".

Are those headphones wireless? :O
Why is one cross fader missing? :15
He's using AIAIAI TMA-1 headphones :)
Very cool!
'' I notice you have an s4 in there '' It's pretty fucking hard to miss if you ask me
does any one know what that is at 00:24 ?
Good for him. That doesn't make him the end all be all. Different DAWs have different workflows. Some people prefer one to the other.
Shit, a lot of artists are still using logic and reason. Doesn't mean they suck.
Yeah 12thplanet uses Fl and hes one of the best dubstep and house music producers out there
Skrilex used Ableton and a trigger finger and Porter Robinson used the software that comes with tractor
Lenguage is so amazing EDM track.
Song name at 0:00 Porter Robinson - Say My Name
@eerrrrrrfolks I'm with you! I'm making it my mission to find all the big names that use FL! I love it!
anyone notice the fader for channel C is missing?
what kind of dj bag is that?
@cokenEbachio Dude chill. I was just sayin that it doesn't work well with serato because it's really tightly integrated for traktor. and btw both traktor and serato are good softwares and are really similar
anyone else notice he is missing a fader on the S4?
fucking love you porter
WHAT SIZE LABTOP DOES HE USE
