|
huh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i doubt it, he probly has his own music progs written for him |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Rich writes his own code. Like e-labs? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no way, he wrote all his software himself |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
luke vibert does though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know for rdj album he had software 'customised' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes he wrote all the software for drukqs too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know this to be true by the way |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really? i find that a little hard to beleve, but i dont know with him |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nonsense, I have produced stuff that is better than RDJ with using nothing but Reason. ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you mean that he actualy sat down and wrote all the software from scratch in a real programming language OR using something similar to max or pd och reaktor and created his software that way? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm guessing he'd like reaktor, looks like his sort of thing building synths from scratch, i can get my head round it myself |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he WROTE the software from scratch, i know this to be true |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes i heard he write programs. elab |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he wrote them using microsoft C++ built into a penguin framework. |
||||||||
|
|

cut the crap. this guy uses noisetracker on a AMIGA 1000 / 512K. This guy owns yu oll. include me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
LOL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
man i wish i had some pics to post I am a No photo kind of guy i have a funny pic of me at www.dnzmusic.com |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats ok dave |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dnez is that your studio at dnzmusic? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ya u like |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i just cant afford all that, i especially like the jp8000, my fave synth i've played on |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ovuca/Astrobotnia/Aleksi told me he uses Logic Audio when I pointed to his iBook and asked him while he was doing his thang in Munich. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How do you get Reason to not sound like Reason? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats just a midi/audio sequencer tho, he'll use all sorts of crazy vsti's and such |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well Ovuca live sounded like Ovuca on CD with the repeat button set to shuffle. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice studio man. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whereas Richard Devine live is infinitely better than on CD. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Catharsis: Don't use any of the sounds you get with Reason, import your own sounds and build your synth patches from scratch. Works for me anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats a load of shit man, he dosent write his own software blatantly. None of these guys do. aphex just said that shit to look clever, bullshitting like he always does. its no small task writing a fucking sequencer, takes a team of people years to do it he may have made some MINOR mods, but thats about it . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont think anyone beleves he writes his own software, i heard he had programs modified or something, that was ages ago tho, around the time of rdj album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am pretty sure he still uses KYMA. Wicked system with outboard DSPs (check http://www.symbolicsound.com/brochure/index.html). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
In any case, he has a sound palette unlike anything I have ever heard. At times it can be eerily human. Thanks billabongbill - I'll try using my own synth patches when I'm not so goddamm lazy ;). Right now I just try to tweak the hell out of every patch I use. Put the effects modules to good use too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
being goddamnn lazy won't get you anywhere. especially making anything other than cookie cutter music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Reason is crap...it is too constraining. I can't imagine in a million years he would use Reason for any of his good tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yup, Reason is not cut out for doing anything remotely 'IDM' (bleh, i hate using that term) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
In what way is in not cut out for "IDM"? I thought it would have been perfect for it. The synth on it is deadly, you can get loads of fucked up stuff from it. The drum machine is class too when you put your own sounds into it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

richard does not use only software he wrote himself. he has acknowledged using recycle, and anyone with metasynth will recognize its characteristic sound on windowlicker. this claim that he uses only custom written software and nothing else is part of the aphex mythos. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah you can hear metasynth on windowlicker AND come to daddy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have read that he uses software designed by a group of french scientists for audio - he has mentioned that he uses custom algorithms and equations to design sound i am also aware that he uses many different vsts and such - but mostly custom designed software |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
meh, i disagree. maybe you just haven't figured out how to use it in a creative non-predictable way. not trying to insult your abilities or anything, but to pass on some sort of generalization about a decent audio program is really silly - it's really up to the individual to decide how to use the program in an interesting way, not the other way around... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I heard he did a dance over a bowl of beans and rice and turned it into a new console just for fast crazy beats. He doesn't need Reason when he has magical tap dancing feet. I think my electronic career is going to have to mature a lot before I can dance out a program to work with. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Probably not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've seen in an interview from some other musician (the name escapes me, look at the Afx interviews links page) that it's all bullshit and he doesn't make his own synths OR write his own programmes either. And who needs to when you have flexible sequencers like Logic/Sonar/Pro Tools etc? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

As a software engineer I very much doubt that someone (even rich) could just teach himself C++ and code something as complex as a synth system etc.. just like that. I mean that would be like the equivalent of John Carmack. He may be self taught but it took him a looonngg time plus things evolved at the same time as John (which makes it easier as it's easier to inovate on top of stuff 50% of which *you* came up with in the first place). I'm sorry I don't buy into this "wrote his own software from scratch" myth. It sounds too much like the rest of the crap that circulates about rich, designed purely to give fan-boys hard-ons. He probably modified something and got at lot of people online to help him. But anyway who gives a shit? His music is great so who cares how he makes it. Don't give me the "other music makers care" crap either. If you want to be like rdj them imitating him (by trying to use the same software or follow the same path as him) is the worst thing you could do. Follow your own path in your own time... |

|
|
bravo using the same software/hardware as someone is pretty pointless, you use what your best at using otherwise your music suffers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just out of interest, exactly how much of my stuff have you actually listened to? My comment was a personal opinion and I stand by it, Reason is a very limited package by itself...OK if you use rewire to take it to Cubase then it opens up the possibilities right up...but as a stand alone product I get frustrated with how confind it is, and there is a lot better out their for a professional musician who has a bit of money to spend. It is getting better with each release though :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, I'm with you on that one... don't get me wrong, Reason is very good at what it sets out to do (making a good emulation of hardware with a focus on creation of mainstream house/dance/DnB). I think the modules that are in Reason are very good but not being able to use VSTs (without rewiring it into a sequencer) is a bitch. And no, I don't think AFX uses his own software either. I can believe he may of made his own plugins perhaps, but why would you need to write your own sequencer? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
like i said, i never stated that any of your own specific music was 'crap' per se, as i have not listened to any of it. but the way you said what you said came off as some sort of overgeneralized comment, rather than just an 'opinion'. sorry, maybe im just picky about syntax and semantics :) |
