insane beats...

on these songs...

crn marth
yellow calx
fingerbib
4
logon rock witch
girl/boy song (and all the mixes)
and many others

Seem to have a complex array of strange beats, they are
really good, thats what makes them classics, but, how did he
make them ?
I have known AFX for about a year (friendship) and he still
wont tell me how he made thoughs fantastic beat arrays in
these songs.

can anyone guess what he does on these ???

maybe a trick is to repeat samples veeeery fast.... well, I
did this and it turned out to be something like this AFX
does...

not as good as afx of course ;-)

Actually I think sine707 is right. I've noticed if I repeat
some samples very fast together with some mild tweaks I can
get some Aphexish stuff. Kinda like the stuff on PEEK.

hmm.. when i use a piano roll and turn "snap to grid" off so
u can get teh samples right next to each other so they're
even overlapping sort of.. and maybe u get the effect in 4?

He takes varios "same sounding beats" and splices them
together, sometimes over lapping the time patterns. Gets
pretty crazy beats like that. Either that or he sits there
and programs it all like that step by step.

ya overlapping rythms can make some pretty cool beats, to
bad fruity loops distorts so much when u have more than a
few samples going at the same time
although sometimes the distortion is good, adds a cool
effect to the music
..if only we could learn to harness its power.. haha
