Hey, I know this sounds dumb, but I am just getting into Aphex Twin, I love that stuff. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to go about mixing or creating songs in this style. If anyone can help me, just post, or e-mail me at: dylan_baby@hotmail.com Thanks! -Eric |

Or someone ( because everyones nice here..right) can answer you this troubled question right here.....all we have to do is wait *w00t! |

|
|
yeah I hope someone can help me ... I'm just not sure how the whole sampling thing works and stuff. Like, how would I get started? |
||||||||

well if your question was that in the begining you should have come out and asked that, not about Aphex Twin cause how the hell would we know. Theres a lot of guys here who make music, which is very well. Theres a lot more people than what you see online not here. Kinda slow---but just keep on asking =) |

you mean keep asking the same question? ok: how would i go about doing the whole sampling bit and such? is it done on just a computer or what? hopefully someone can give me a little insight into this. i would love to get into samples and stuff, maybe someone knows some programs or something. i gotta get off this now, but e-mail me if you can help me out or i'll just find this post tomorrow. -Eric |

Check out the programs fruity loops and reason, they are for your computer (fruity loops: pc only, reason: macintosh and pc compatible), and they are a great start to what you want to do I think. I make tunes in Reason sometimes, its a great little app, an all in one digital studio type program, right up your ally I think, so is fruity loops. Check em both out, download the demo's, see which one you like best. I am Mickey Mouse, I r help, Yay! I AM HELPING! YAY!!! Yay! |

try www.futureproducers.com you will find lots of info on how the music making process works... as you start and learn you will notice is almost imposible to make what Aphex does :) |

Get the programs and practise! theres no secret "Key", to how to make things cool. Learn the basics and twist the knobs the way u like them. I reccomend fruityloops, as its fairly simple to get an illegal copy. (its hell to get reason) |

hardware is the shit. find yourself a cheap sampler and thrash it :) |

I've tried to find fruityloops by other means, but I can't seem to find the thing. I've used Kazaa. Anyone have a link, you can just e-mail me it. -Eric |

floop will be a good start. you don't need anything (samples or vst's), everything is bundled... if you have a question just to floops, e-mail me matrigs@wp.pl i worked with it a lot so i hope i will know the answers |

download fruity loops and say uhm fm7. Try to understand how to use these programs. Once you know how... leave them! DON'T USE THEM! one day you'll wake up, full of inspiration. And then you're ready to go. |
||||||||
|

yeah i tried to find those, but they are only trial versions. :( i used kazaa, and can't find what i would like to. the free stuff :( |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Acid Pro is nice too...i find that easier to fine tweak stuff...really puts you in the middle of things. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
ok fruity loops might be good for starters but DONT. GET. STUCK. IN. IT. when youve gotten into it a bit more check out reaktor, its TEH shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can't get stuck in something i don't have yet. that's the problem. |

hahahahahahaha this thread is funny. i dont know why but it made me laugh. :) |

as for hardware vs. software sampling... soft samplers like Kontakt, HALion and the sampler in Reason will rival any hardware sampler. The above samplers are much more versatile, and better quality (yes, really) not to mention the ease of use... the only drawback is the polyphony and the MIDI timing issues (the main reason for using hardware samplers is the strict timing) oh and the soft samplers cost about 10 times less :)) IMHO, if you're just messing about, get Reason (or Reason II), if you're serious, get Native Instruments Kontakt (sampler), Native Instruments Reaktor (sound generation - to put it mildy !!:)) and a sequencer like Cubase, Logic etc etc.... but it starts getting quite expensive.. |

tobester: "dont get stuck in fruity loops" was just an important tip for the future. phonomusic: it is not almost impossible to do what afx does. its very possible =) |
||||||||

hey binaural, do you know your way around it? i finally got it, it's just i'm kinda stuck on a few things, and i read the help file. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I sometimes make some AFX-like tunes, but I rarely save them... I feal like a ripp off the minute the song's finished. I just tested out one of his tricks; Take a vocal sample (a girl screaming in terror(3,5 sec.)) and ripped it into many peaces, and put it back togeather in a slightly different order, each piece in a different frequency. It came out pretty cool, but it took me ages to do it (I'm using Music 2000 on PSX). After i messed with the scream for a while it took over 15 sec. in play. |

How about trying not to do everything in one day tobester. Best wishes -from Mickey |

listen carfully, analyze, practice and waste lots of time doing it without pondering how pointless it truly is. |

thats actually quite good advice, w M w.. just try to have fun with it. try to make sounds. FORGET about making tracks at the moment (for the time being)- not important. sounds first. |
