i don't want to offend anybody, or get sarcastic replies (that being said i know i am increasing the possibilty of that happening) I am just really interested of this, and not liking any of the stuff i use. I know it's not what you got, it's how you use it, but i'm just wondering. what did he use as far as synths and that goes? did he still use analog on some songs, or did use just his laptop? i would like to know how to get good sounding instruments, (drums, synths, bass synths) on a laptop, even though i know it's not as sweet sounding as recorded analog. |

id rather record into a $100 4-track than into my computer and work on it later. |
||||||||

|
|
it was his first digitally produced album, wasn't it? all done on a mac? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He said at the time of release (96) that it all was recorded native (all computer-made) - but I doubt that considering the state of tech at the time....? (but that might explain the harsh EQ on afx stuff 96-98, though?) |
||||||||

|
|
I think that is correct. I think it was done using an ircam program or something along those lines. |

here is a vid that can give you some ideas, aphex doesn't neccecraly use this kind of setup. but thought it might interest you. the video uploader has a description of his hardware |
||||||||

|
|
ahh sorry i thought you meant hardware |
||||||||

shit the sh 101 is so cool. i wish i had my own analog shit. |
||||||||

recycle/cubase innit |

|
|
there is no way to know because aphex is a liar and purposefully misguides interviewers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
liar :( he just has some fun with the press thats all, they are tards that ask the same questions over and over and over I beLIEve that he makes his own gear, hes into it, hes got time and cis-ash. I cant see him shopping at Circuit City for his gear |
||||||||
|

|
|
makes his own gear? Give me a break. |

Everybody knows something that the person next to them doesnt, is it that Impossible- |

A lot of the RDJ album is computer generated. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think he mostly uses what everyone else does if not extremely rare and expensive synths. I think he does like the exclusivity of using rare and expensive gear. I'm sure aphex has gear modified by other people. That's plausible, but him actually making samplers and sequencers and analog synths from scratch all by himself? No, I don't believe that. Its would be silly too. I'm sure he's used customized software too, but lots of people do. |
||||||||

He used the following: Macintosh Laptop with Max/MSP Supercollider Akai S3000XL Moog Memorymoog Yamaha DX7 EMS Synthi Putney |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
damn, how do you know all that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The best thing about this album is the clear stance RDJ takes in the ZX Spectrum camp, as opposed to the fucking C-64. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You are right. I'm too drunk to remember who said this, but somebody who knew him in some interview confirmed that all that stuff about him making his own synths and whatnot is lies. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The GENIUS of RDJ manifests itself in the way in which he anticipated 15 odd years ago that people would be all snobby about what vast range of gear they all used to make exactly the same sounding music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah..genius. |

Mike Paradinas said that, and cylob too. Anway, mammma jamma are you the same mamma jamma on AH looking for the mint 303? Aphex was on AH, btw. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yeah, rich started that whole DIY attitude. His whole lliving in a bank, making his own gear, using only his own gear for music, all that mystique, even if it wasn't true, was really image enhancing for him. It made the music better. |

+1. To quote Jand, "...all the best people had Spectrums." The use of wanky c64 style arp'd chip tune melodies in Britney's latest track, as well as everything Timbaland has done of late only serves to further cement this fact. You don't get any chart whores using Specdrum on their "beatz", do you? |
||||||||

|

y i agree they r better machines but is it not a matter of uk/usa more than "the best people". availability would be a major factor i would think |

Mike Paradinas said that, and cylob too. oh absolutely 100% reliable then (!), they were there while it was being recorded (not) |
||||||||
|

I am 98% convinced you are J? |

Who the fuck do you think you are??? Don't blame fucking Timberland for the sounds in his music, blame the person who actually wrote it! |

||||||||
|
|

I love the way Richard looks at him in a 'wtf' way when the guy asks him about a "drug reality". :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
