I'm just wondering if anyone knows how Aphex does such crazy beats? What software does he edit with? Does he use loops? |

he's crazy, that's all |

he records the sound of cutlery tumbling down flights of stairs |

i think he uses Recycle, a program from the Steinberg company. that's probably not the only program he uses for that sort of thing tho. |

he probably ties a pig to the middle of the room, beats it with reeds and then imitates the sounds it makes |

It's not really that hard to edit the waveforms in the software to get the hits so rapid; my friend does it for some of his music. Aphex certainly knows what he's doing though. |

Practice and interest in what he's doing, he's spent his life doing that since that's all he cares about. "my only ambitions in life were to never get a job and make music till I drop" He's my hero. He's one of those people where it's almost convincing to think he's really an alien. |

Yeah, he def uses Recycle to cut up samples - he's mentioned it a few times in interviews... But when it comes to sequencing?..I dunno...Protools has been mentioned a few times, which wouldn't suprise me as it's an excellent bit of software and pretty much the one most pros use for Digital Audio stuff... A lot of his techniques are similar to the ones you'd use for Drum N Bass..i.e. cutting up breaks in Recycle and then resequencing etc... Check out for some DnB production tips... |
