Listen to a track by Skrillex and one of the things you're left wondering is just how long he must have spent working on the edits within it. Well, he's just revealed his speedy editing secret: keep your hands off the mouse.

Skrillex also reveals that he hardly ever uses his MIDI controller keyboard, preferring to draw notes into his DAW.
