Aphex Twin Beats in Ableton Live = Ned Rush
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2024
- In this video I show a few ways to make beats in Ableton that are a bit crazy and all over the place, similar to that of Aphex Twin, but I'm not going to show you how to sound like Aphex, because only he can do that. Support me on Patreon to download this set plus more.

Lot of haters don't understand what an approximation is. This is 30min with a ton of useful techniques in live demonstrated. Forget the trolls.

I've never seen anyone use Live this way, this blew my mind.
This is very much just the tip of the iceberg. Live is crazy customizable.
Yeah now I feel a little bad for leaving it.
yes
Saw him at a festival couple of years ago and it was mind blowing. But my favourite thing was the look of sheer horror on people's faces
Yes! Love it.
Try using an LFO on the Arpeggiator Style to break up the pattern. Another on the Note length gives you a variation of, well, note lengths. Try rates around 1/3 of a bar on Random waveform to start with.
Use a mapping M4L device like MIDI Shaper to lock the values into 1/2, 1/4, 1/8,... if that's what you need.
I think it's obvious that there should be a part 2 for this topic.
Cowbell sound: didn’t sound like a cow to me...right on mate
“Everyone likes a good rim” Hahaha. Love these videos mate. Doing the community a great service! Thank you! :)

"Aha *slaps hands together* dont make me act up"
Everyone should. He has over 2000 songs. You'll like atleast one
"Everyone loves a rim" - Ned Rush 2020
You have blown my mind. Absolutely amazing, respect to both you and the software developers at Ableton.
I can say that this is one of the most useful and inspiring technique for ableton drum making I have seen on youtube. Thank you so much!
honestly the best tutorial around and the best guy to learn production techniques from.
I think Aphex works on his own sounds and stuff but I remember listening to a live set by him YEARS ago and heard a sytrus preset from FL Studio.
the devil is in the details.
It was a DJ Set and the track he played with the Sytrus preset was "Night Hunter" by Fis-T.
Just because something is a preset doesn’t make a song any less good. A good song is a good song, regardless of how it was made. Richard James can use a preset if he wants to.
and?
@@vogelvogeltje Ummm... ok?
lol
That is fantastic. completely authentic . don't think my computer would cope well with this. unbelievable that your CPU is barely going past 7
Basstation from novation got an update with Aphex twins personal style it’s wicked and typical Aphex word on that. Heck this is wicked as well I can apply this with any sample.
Fantastic technique defo giving this a crack today get some tuss vibes going
For more control you can put the midi fix + inst on an input monitored midi track. Output from the midi track with all the generative clips goes to the new track with your instrument on it. You can now make dummy clips on the inst track that have automations for all your midi fx and inst parameters - but they are separate clips from the ones generating all your note information. This also allows for you to route multiple midi tracks to a single instrument
oh very clever and probably less confusing. thanks!
could you do a Boards of Canada style tutorial as well?
great idea!
Hell yeah, I'm all for this
He just published one
Very informative and great course corrections throughout the live production process. Thanks!
This is great! I'm gonna name my track: yh6e+6rhfT, that'll stick with people :-) Callers will be demanding this masterpiece track non-stop with radiostations. Caller you're on the air. Hey thanks man, I just wanna hear that yh6e+6rhfT again, that track is pumpin man, that's my jam right there!
super interesting, useful, and amusing stuff - I particularly enjoyed the bits with imitating trolls :) I could listen to that all day
Everyone loves Ned Rush! Thanks, Ned!!!!!~~~> YOU DA MAN!!!!!! (Like we used to say in the 90s!!!!)
31:10 beautiful chord progressions, AI.
Been binge watching your stuff learnt a lot about ableton from you thanks mate
i feel tracker-like sequencing in ableton, you're going great
11:07 that sounds so good...
hyperdub land
Your imitation of how trolls speak is a perfect Aphex twin sample idea
I love the idea of Aphex Twin torrenting sounds like the rest of us
Always stoked to see a new video from you man
First video, instantly one of my favorite channels. Cheers weirdo.
Probabilistic beats vs Ratcheting/Rolling (an annoying method that definitely works):
1. Place another Velocity effect on each pad of the Drum Rack, and set a constant value (doesn't matter what). Turn all of them off.
2. Starting with a blank clip, create automation that turns each of the per-pad Velocity devices OFF. Use this as the "master" clip to copy-paste clones from.
3. For any clip that will be programmed with ratcheting, change the automation to turn the per-pad constant Velocity effect ON for pads that will ratchet in that clip, and then tune the static velocity value to the desired sample (which can be automated per-roll if desired). Make sure, when creating a ratcheting clip, to only copy the "master clip" (or any non-ratcheting variant, really) to ensure that probabilistic beats continue on non-ratcheting pads.
4. Happy birthday dear Richard.
I understand that this is a time-consuming and boring way to create this effect, but it does work. Maybe Ableton should do something about that (like improved cross-clip multi-device automation copy/paste!).
any tutorial u know?
Wow! Thanks for showing the potential with Ableton!
Seriously smiled when I saw the thumbnail of NED RUSH on my front page. Wooooo!
Incase any FL user is watching this-you may achieve this albeit with lesser control through FPC in arpeggiator in '?' mode aka random mode and tinkering with the time knob.. Anyway its a very interesting and informative video, thank you for sharing, love aphex twins
I don’t know who is more insane. This guy that programs the hell out of it and does the job within few patterns or me that I write and automate manually all my patterns and I end with 30 patterns only for my drumbeats? I personally find this awesome (I do) but also I don’t believe that this technique has a lot of control or detail over the drumbeat. I use randomizers(!) in other stuff but but on my beats. Great stuff though. Really interesting
Dude this is fucking genius, I've been looking for something like this for years now
A much bettet to this. And the way Aphex does it. Is better explained by this guy
ruclips.net/video/5yQRp4j2RQM/видео.html
Aphex does not randomize his drums. He's a master, he meticulously program's them manually. But you to take the note size down to 64th. Anyone can "Get the computer to do it". But that's cheating
@@DigitalBard1 what are you on about
@@OwainOwine The way Aphex Twin program's his drums
amazing tutorial, you're a legend
Bro I love you ,you just lifted my soul
That cow gets me every time i watch this video😂
This is beyond great!
what you did to live is brilliant man
I hope this was made in a tank , in a bank, on a hand built diy laptop .... great vid
Learned a lot from this, love arpeggiators now
My mind blew a little when you switched tempo
that was actually quite hard to follow, but slowing down step by step, gdamn, brilliant
Great tutorial, blowed my mind
This was a good time. Definately touched on some things I would have never explored normally.
Loved this one.... cheers
It's crazy, but what if I start a track and the first arp stops working? I haven't been able to fix this for 3 hours. Help please!!!
That was fun to listen to thanks!
Awesome, thank you!
That's fucking amazing!!!
i love this. thank you!
Great techniques.
I guess I'm a peasant and I use the random note technique (you can do different type of drums by having the same number of each corresponding to the random value; or just different tracks). Been using LFO sample and hold on parameters lately also; and made a little thingy in max for live for chance of notes and velocity.
This is great, thank you!
you are beast good sir!!!! thank you for all of this!
THANK YOU FOR THE KNOWLEDGE
great video. Learned a lot thankyou
Great video, I enjoyed it lots
My 6 year old sons favorite song is beetles...
You’re raising a supergenius
Kickass! Thank you.
I'm a simple man, I see Aphex Twin, I like
wait for it long time! thx
You're the fucking best Ned
31:00
Man thats awesome, making mad machines, understanding it, thnx very much!
"Thats the type of person i am" LOL !
M E L I C I T Y
I'd sport a M E L I C I T Y shirt
Cheers Mr Ned! Just what I needed right now
I laughed harder than I should have 1:27
Sounds pretty accurate. Good job there! 👍
Everyone loves a good rim
"Didn't sound like a cow to me" 💚🤣
Please do Squarepusher next!
Actually never mind, this already turned out a lot like Squarepusher
He kind of already has.
8:30 shat myself laughing
Amazing video.
GREAT vid Ned, I enjoi watching others struggle with the creative process.
I particularly liked witnessing the drastic morphing changes
throughout the video (not just the randomness).
Sounds shit, correct it, repeat infinitely.
Amazing!
use a tape modulation on the drums that swhat he did for the tuss
Troll impression reminded me of Stewart Lee's Russel Howard joke ... Aah mate aaah mate what you wanna have a go at Russel Howard for ? Mmmaaahhte
omg KORG EMX my partner Bonnie Baxter does shit on that i've never seen anyone else do lol amazing machine! great vid cheers!
Can you elaborate?
Thanks, Murdoc!
cool ideas
incredible
nice one, thank you.
im at 22 you sayin "we kind of getting there"
i dont know bro i really hope it will end up well im stressed out
Maybe drink some water.
@@NedRush no worries i fell for it. btw great tutorials u leave us here, thanks for all the precious work
Cheers Ned. This is great, although I don’t even understand what you’ve done yet
would like to see a bit about side chaining, in relation to this technique
Very funny the tusss !!!😀😀😀👍♥️
21:08 theres one in pigments that i use all the time!
LMFAO- that's exactly how they talk ahaha.
amazing..
Nice !
Even the use of sampler zone for velocity automation is new to me cos im a proper shiney bastard but nevertheless I'm going to play with that for no reason just cos it looks very fun :D just gonna throw lists upon lists of random samples in to racks just to upset myself. Thanks for the insights :) that was a really interesting video!
The thought that Aphex might not even own a drum machine made me question reality
Aphex Twin is a drum machine.
that's so far away from reality that's crazy. I mean the guy's last record had a list of drum machines and equipment he used in it as the cover art. there's loads of interviews where he speaks about specific things and even video footage from a studio he built in the 90s I think.
Fabian Tombers who knows, he may have been lying. He may not even be Aphex twin. He may be the human embodiment of a drum machine. And I may be taking the piss ;)
@@fabiantombers4966 that's not true. Everybody knows that he has two jack outputs in the back of his head and he just records the sound of his brain straight into tape.
You can clearly hear when he's using Roland TR boxes in pattern mode on newer stuff
combine this with the mono sequencer.
Superb
Can you do an updated version of this for Ableton 11?
you blow my mind. 🙂 there is only one problem. Your cursor is too small and I often lost sight of it. and I didn't understand what you were doing at that moment. 😥
This is a fucking masterclass!!!
9:34 laughed too hard at that
does this still apply to ableton 12? I have the drum rack up but dropping in multiple sounds seems to apply each one shot to different notes on the rack.
