What does AFX use his laptop for?

He now usually does his live performances with his trusty
laptop, right, and also he did all of his production work
for Druqks using a computer, and I only wonder what software
did he use to produce it all?

i find it odd.. sometimes people totally ignore your topics
then sometimes they completely jump into them.

I heard he creates a lot of the software he uses. This is
Richard D. James we're talking about here though, don't know
exactly how much stock you could put into that.

i thought he had the laptop live so that he could play mp3s
of his tracks instead of performing them while he plays
computer games

he more than likely just uses the laptop to transport tracks
from his main computer to the gig and then adds live effects
over what plays back?

walkman making strange wha wha noises by opening and
shutting his mouth!

lol @ Dingle Berry

Aphex probably has all different types of shit on his Laptop
and i really wouldnt be suprised if he did have a version of
Fruity Loops, some of the stuff you can do on that is like
Aphex Twin, a great example is a song called 'Roastbeefbox'
in the miscellanous section of the FLP loop files, on
Version 3 of Fruity Loops

All you have to do is get a snare drum, put the BPM up to
360 - 999 and put the pattern down and your away with the
faries

He just puts in a CD and plays that the laptiop is for
games. He plays games on stage and gets paid for it.

Nowadays he uses TRAKTOR....which is a very cool DJ'ing
program for MP3s....

live gigs, pro-tools is his bitch -

and in the studio, ProTools is all over his recent work....

I've got Traktor. It's quite good.

Actually Jand, could you help me out? I want to be able to
use Traktor to DJ live (i.e. cue stuff up in the
headphones). To do this, you need to have a stereo output.
I can't get it to work. My laptop doesn't appear to have
true stereo, there's always some sound from the other
channel. Is there anyway around this that you can suggest?
