has anyone bothered listening to saw 2 an octave higher? I've been listening to the first 5 rdj album tracks, most of come 2 daddy and the first windowlicker track an octave lower a lot lately. The thing about these tracks is that they don't rely on speed to make them beautiful. They're amazing regardless of the speed unlike, say, squarepusher. I highly recommend listening to them like this to everyone. Anyway, I'm now wondering if saw 2 will sound flimish or whatever if sped up. I havn't tried it and kind of doubt it.. but that'd be awesome if there was an entire collection of flim etc style tracks "hidden" until played an octave up.

oh dude I'm going to test flim like that right now.
giginger thinks xmd5a is great fast, but that's retarded.
oh PS you must start liking xmd5a soon, .

yeah the way he selected the pitches and volumes of the principal line in flim is just perfect. I heard a similar track about one week after you introduced me to it, and the arpeggios kept selecting the wrong fucking chord tones. FAAaaa

By the way I've tried a few times to mimick his "flim" etc. style as best I can, mostly by composing slow beats/melody then later speeding it up, and finally concluded that it simply can't be done with modplug tracker (and probably not by me.) Oh man, beaucifulus bouncing ball (spelling) sounds sooooo wicked in slow.... the melody is like "bum.... ba da da ba BUM... BUM".. it's totally ill.
In funny little man, the "high hat" or whatever in the linear drum beat turns out to be quite a cool noise an octave lower. Oh, in flim the third melody that comes in is based on 5 instead of 4 like the previous 2. Also a subtle characteristic in the "bass drum" is that it mutates occassionally from a "drumish cymbol" sound to a "balloonish bounce" sound. Also I think a lot of his percussion takes pitch into account. The little cymbolish parts in flim play in different pitches as well as the bass drum.
Also flim's drums are based on a beat like this. It's hard to pick it out when played fast I guess but this beat is what seems to be continuously mutated.
0-x0--x- 0 is bass drum and x is high hat. This same beat is used track 4 on the rdj album I think.. either that or track 1. I can't think because I have saw 2 playing.

I fucking love him.
You know, I think during spring break, while I have no computer or books to read, I'll have some paper and figure out my synthesizer plan. I will make it good, send a demo to rephlex, and totally get to hang out with him. yes.

bucephalus bouncing ball sounds sooooo wicked in slow
YES YES YES EXACTLY!!
tho i'd say when it comes to playing tracks slowed down NOTHING beats Autechre's Cap.iv - it sounds like the most beautiful ambient track ever

I just listened to saw 2 again after a couple years of not hearing it probably and it doesn't really have the characteristics of slowed down flim etc. tracks so probably wouldn't really sound like them when sped up. (all saw 2 is slow normally so I figured it might work when sped up).

I know I have it since I have all their albums.. I just don't memorize titles. It will be easier for me to download it off soulseek than rip it myself though probably.

i absolutely love this little winamp plugin for speeding up and slowing down music. it will literally keep me entertained for hours on end. it has tempo , pitch , and fucking speed controls ! plus they have a very wide range of control. PLUS you can fucking run any of them in combination ! i forget what i had going on the other day , but it was fucking sick. i recorded a couple wayne jarrett tracks in the combo i had , i think i had one all the way fast , one all the way slow , and one sort of slow. bare insanity ! i might post a clip of that jarrett speed fux.
your welcome ! its awesome !

oh yeah , i forgot to mention that the version i would reccomend downloading is v 1.32
i say this because its the one i have , and i can verify it works great with no cpu. and the gui is plain and clean looking , not like that shite gaudy screenshot they have of the current version.

For the record I listened to cap iv an octave lower (I don't use the "lower pitch keep speed" or "lower speed keep pitch" tricks because with audacity at least it's imperfect). It was ok but not as good as come 2 daddy tracks in my opinion.
Also audacity is a good free program that lowers/raises pitch/speed/tempo and also has a noise removal feature which works pretty great for the most part except when it leaves weirdified w gfoij ab bla bla bl aoe

i'd recommend listening to Cap.iv slowed down WITHOUT changing the pitch tho...

"Cock-Ver 10" on 33 rpm is a classic !! That tweaked acid bass becomes a roaring agressive monster and beats become heavy like ....like really heavy stuff....like elephants or ...airplanes...

Ive put alot of aphex in tracktor. Havent really noticed anything remarkable by messing with the pitches or speeds. Though, Windowlicker is sort of fun to mess around with.

Lol, the Little Lord Faulteroy mix of CTD just sounds so fucking twisted sped up (to +35% in that Winamp plug). So does Bucephalus. I think 45 to 33 is about -25% BTW.
CTD Mummy Mix sounds very precise at -32% The IZ-US girl sounds like a man at -32. The rest sounds like Massive Attack.
XMD5A sounds amazing at around +20%. The piano sounds more real like this aswell.
Z Twig should have an IDM remix done at +26%

I'm working on a strange kinda mashup of most of the Aphex stuff that's been commented on here.
I've got loops from SAWII, and I'm currently beat-marking Bucephalus BB.

NOTE: My friend who is downloading it now said that for some reason, your browser will probably save it as an mpeg, instead of .mp3. Try changing the file extension, otherwise,
I'll upload to YSI.
