When I listen to Aphex Twin I hear patterns, structures, melodies that are structured and organized . They are complex, but not random.
Yep
I'm not even trying to sound like Aphex Twin, but these are some suuuuper dope sound design techniques.
then why are you here
God loves you all! The Father sent the Son to die for you and your sins so that you could experience freedom to the fullest! Believe in Christ's death and resurrection (which sealed the work done on the cross) for your salvation and the forgiveness of sins! Amen!

I think the absolute best way to create interesting, unique, evolving drums is to do everything shown in this video but use resampling to record every parameter change and effect, then chop up and arrange the resulting audio. That way you never get the same sounds twice and your track is full of organic variation
boom
running audacity in the background recording my flstudio workflow , every so often go back and take the snippets of me moving notes thru the piano and scrolling thru patterns , cpu sweatin overworked ram and actual bitcrush
= yum
when you high pass all the sounds in the drum rack, you can right click a parameter in a grouped instrument, and 'copy value to siblings' and it'll copy that parameter to all the other instruments in the same group. really useful for working with drum racks

lol, i just commented this. oops.
@@chasedestroy I just deleted my comment of this also
didnt always work for me and i dont know why. for example wantet to make every simplker a sampler

I Love it!!!!
I licked my window in sync with this tune. Worked out well.
That's where the juice is.
Loving this and great to hear an Irish voice doing such killer tuts. Nice one mate.
Now the next challenge is to find what Irish accent is it?
Cork
@@hollowgroundproductions ah yes the real capital of ireland 😎
@@conlangknow8787 that would be Belfast mate. 😀
@@addictedtocraic unfortunately, the british exist, so it knocks down Belfast’s rightful and historical title by a few points (no hard feelings tho)
As a guitarist. Watching how you make music is like magic. Amazing!!!
c'est majick, become the music yo
I can hear the rdj inspiration here but to be fair I also think you got your own sound coming out of it. In my experience I notice that things really start sounding like aphex when you begin to incorporate the micro tunings. I like how you used randomization methods to capture ideas but I still like to imagine that he’s sitting there dialing in every little detail. Nice video.
That may well be true about rdj's process, actually.
microtuning? like detuning by cents or wat?
Just got into synth 10/21 and realized drum machines would be my collection piece. I’m too basic but learning fast. I “off rhythmed” snares twice today. Evolving.
This just blew my mind! I recently got into Aphex Twin and am having fun with music prod. Quite a lot packed in here!, and loads to rewind and learn from. I've seen a few other Aphex Twin technique videos but they aren't a patch on this. Thanks!
Every video from you is like a blessing from god
😇😇No pressure then!!!!!
this is the most epic sound design tutorial ever. i would totally just play this during pre-show easy
Really?? Watching this video back, even I have to admit I overdid it a bit!!! I was having fun though 😂😅
Love how tight and crispy everything sounds. Nice work.
True to Aphex, its quite difficult to find a consistent groove in the final arrangement. Just as you smile and start to nod your head. Some absolute chaos slaps you in the face, and forces your brain to suddenly switch, and start seeking a different groove within the mayhem. I love it. Very Richard.
Its not got that instantly recognisable sonic magic that Aphexs material has got. But I suppose that's the kind of magic that nobody has managed to replicate successfully. As if its gaurded by the techno gods, because its Aphexs unique sonic signature tag.
But in terms of complexity and multi layered macros and LFOs, its right up there. Very diverse. Full respect for your comprehensive teachings.
As a suggestion, you could do a tutorial explaining how to re-create his glitch beats, utilising 16th, 32nd and 64th notes. Many of his tunes are peppered with that technique. I've seen people trying to do it using an appregator, not very well though.
I can recreate them by manual programming, its rather time consuming and meticulous, so I always wondered if Richard found a way to create glitch beats using a combo of automation, with a way to manually fine tune, and re-sequence where appropriate.
I'm talking specifically about the drum programming found in "Come to Daddy" and "Collapse T69", but also there are so many more examples. I know for sure those beats are not randomly generated, they are pain stakingly placed perfectly. But the up and down scale from 16th to 64th notes and back, are what give them such a unique rhythm within the rhythm style. It takes like literally forever to manually programme all that. There must be a secret arcane technique.
Just wondered if anyone has sussed it out yet. Its probably not that difficult. Its just my knowledge base of electronic music production hadn't transcended the secrets yet.
Any here, got any pointers or suggestions
P.S Square pusher "Come on my selector" is also another classic example of the sort of drum programming, I'm referring to.
I hope I can workflow like you someday holy wow. I just started and Ableton and it is melting my brain, despite how intuitive it probably all is (once comprehended!)
This track is a whole ass love letter to RDJ and I’m all here for it
i personally think a tracker would be better for the style of aphex twin but you still did very well!
I came across your channel about 3 months ago and I want to say that you have relatively high-quality and at the same time atmospheric content with all your inserts and transitions. You definitely have a good idea of what you're showing and listening to. Unlike modern pseudo-musical RUclipsrs, you do not engage in unnecessary ostentation and it is always interesting for me to look at some extraordinary musical techniques, despite the fact that I myself have imitated them many times for fun.
I wish you to continue in the same spirit and wish you creative success.
By the way, I listened to your album inspired by boards of canada - a high-quality work that conveys the atmosphere. Definately will keep an eye on your stuff.
I appreciate the detailed compliment, and happy you enjoyed that album. I return to it every now and again.
For the cutting of the lows you can adjust the parameters for one sample then right click copy to siblings to apply that to other samples

Devvo!!!
yooo asked for this video a while ago.
glad you did it
Ask and he shall deliver.....eventually!

Nice touch to add the melody of Flim towards the end.
you sir, are an absolute monster. i never expected so much insane information in such a short video., excellent job!
this is an incredible video thank you. It would be really cool to see you tackle arca’s production too if you haven’t already. She does some really wild stuff that’s also very beautiful and organic
Probably the most creative video i have ever seen.
I fell completely satisfied after watch8ng this like i just spent 5 or 6 hours in my own studio creating..
Thank you for your content. Im going to subscribe etc, and also see what else you have done.
Holy shit how good is this video? The tutorial is great but even just the entertainment aspect of it was so fun. Great stuff for real.
thanks for everything. i can die know
This is fantastic! Really like the part from 12:35.
Great as always, Gavin. Thank you for this amazing tutorial!
You gotta be a fuckin mad genius to be able to do this type of production! Props!
You just gotta put hours in, lad!! A lot of this results from going down a lot of black holes of exploration
The replay value of this tutorial! 👌
also, to add to this: that dude Chris that did all those aphex videos lives down the street from me and he told me that Richard was getting drum loops and samples and using pro tools in grid mode to get all those messed up edits, which is crazy because I thought it was all done with machines and whatnot. Great vid btw!!
Afx237 v.7 has been a long time fave of mine. I've always wanted to slow it down, make choreography for it and video it, then play the video back at the correct speed. Super trippy dance moves.

ooh i love the aphex twins!
fun one mate, thank you as always :)
oh now that's FUN
Holy heck this was incredible
Hope you got something out of it!
Fun video. Totally got to the Apex of the sound!
0:22 i love it
No way dude
You're awesome!!
1:44 you can instantly duplicate a setting to all drum pads by right-clicking on the parameter and choosing "Copy Value to Siblings" (in parentheses will be a number indicating how many siblings, i.e., other drum pads, to which that setting will be copied)
Thx m8
thanks
underrated af
These videos are ridiculously good 🤨🤨🤨
AMAZING 😻 Thank you so, so much for this.
Sick, gonna have to utilize some of the knowledge from here on out!
Thank you!
this is amazing! is there a single release of it on youtube? id love to listen to it
Quality breakdown. Love this channel. Thank you.
12:07 I see what you did there! 😉
I was dubious at the start of the video, but the end result was really nice. Good work.
People often say the same thing when they meet me in person! They're like "so i was dubious of you at first, but the end result is really nice", and I'm like,"yeah...i think this is my stop!!" That's the night bus for ya! I gotta leave London, man! 😨
That was phenomenal! So glad this was recommended to me. Thanks! Instant subscribe.
1:- apHex twin, not apex twin. 2:- there's a lot less randomness in his music than you'd think at first listen. 3:- dope tutorial
Cheers, sir!
british people cant say anything right anyways even if you torture them to death to pronounce something correctly they will bring that to death
much thanks 4 this....peek n2 the mastermind music formulA!!!!
Wow this is awesome
sounding like ross from friends. amazing tutorial man
Ballin. Great stuff!
Nicely done!
ok dude you won my sub
Bounce to the ounce
this is so well done, wish i had ableton to start making this type of music. it's so different from other kinds of music making i love it
pirate it 💕
@@moresnqp yknow, I was just thinking about that
@@chinchirap2 ahoy matey
Apex twin didn’t do it on Live, you could do it in other Daw.
aphex does it on tracker style daws i think
Amazing techniques. Thanks for sharing!
That sounds awesome, always wondered how he made his drums
To be fair, as many Aphex Twin obsessors will tell you, these techniques are more of an interpretation of his techniques and you end up with a sound that is inspired by the vibe of his music. Ultimately, your take away should be how to use these techniques to make your own crazy, out there sh#t!
I think too that the old stuff of James is almost pure based on selfmade samples.
Sounds kinda like Aphex Twin but it doesn't feeeeeeeel like Aphex Twin. That's where great songwriting comes in.
Wow this is fantastic thank you so much!!!
This is so helpful thank you so much
Christmas already
Excellent tutorial. Sounds great!
the climax at the end is tooooo good. love it
The video is so much fun, I love playing with sounds and effects
This sounds great man! ✌️✨
This is unbelievably good. Keep it up mate!
just came across your channel. great video thank you. subbed!
Love it, no messing around.
Just discovered your channel, love the content man!
i heard some early Datach'i and 00's Autechre too. Lovely.
your tutorials are incredibly insightful and fun to watch. you actually learn a ton from them. love them, keeping 'em coming! gotta do autechre now to complete the IDM holy trinity!
Squarepusher (Go Plastic) era
So many goodies in this tutorial 🙌🏻
Final track is amazing bro! Richard would be proud of u ;P
Love it! Ever time I see a vide from you pop up, it's an artist I love. How about some SIlent Shout era The Knife? We Share Our Mother's Health being a favourite of mine :)
oh ya coding i wanna do that
🚪 🏃
I have ableton live lite so I cannot really do all of this. What I have done instead is compress a lot of these sort of crazy sampling and random techniques into one track. It ended up sounding alright. Migth buy the full suite version but it is a huge investment for me. Thanks for these ideas though! Lots of cool stuff in ableton that i do not know how to do yet.
I also have a problem w my computer being a bit old, so it will process the audio badly at times. Getting a new one is also a huge investment. I could use advice on what a computer needs to process audio really well. I am used to Windows but I might use Mac if it is better.
I used the technique of slicing a longer sample of sound effects except with my own sample I made from a broken Korg DS-8 synth. It has corrupted memory so it makes weird sounds that are different every time I turn it on. Might make a video showing this bc it is really cool. I decided to record this into Abelton and I was gonna make it into a weird noise album just for the experiment, but then I clicked the slice option. Modulated those slices with a couple arpergiattors and it created a really cool beat. Did the same with a sample of me playing strings using SpitFire Audio, and a bunch of amen breaks. I have a song released called "Sampled Strings" (by Kaiser724) if anyone wants to check out what the sampling sounds like.
If I get around to it I will release recordings of the corrupted DS-8 on bandcamp so everyone can play around w the cool noises. It is really funny bc when it breaks sometimes it makes a whole beat and all the lights start blinking in time w the beat (going to show this on video at some point bc it is interesting, makes the same sort of random sounding beat every time)
This was a very well made tutorial
fabulous
Really cool video, glad the algorithm put you in my direction. Easy sub.
These are all really strong techniques, and about the only personal touch I'd add is that you're giving yourself some plug-in time there's a lovely stutter effect called Chris Glitch which I often enjoy bringing in to these kinds of arrangement.
I'm not ever really sure about IDM as a genre label, but I accept the one I tend to use myself - melodic ambient glitch - isn't necessarily any better or even less pretentious.
Occurs to me there is a greater-than-zero chance you might like some of the stuff on my Channel too, feel free to have a gander if you like. Keep up the good work boss.
I'm chuffed to have made a video that has gotten this many views, despite not knowing how to pronounce the dudes name and the fact that the music actually sounds very little like his actual music! If anyone actually makes any music inspired by this video, get on to meet my email and send me a link because I'm desperate to hear it!
Incredible tutorial - learnt a lot here . Bravo !
