I've since changed a few things with filter cutoffs, note velocities, and balancing. I think it's a bit closer! Roughly 55-60 hours of work total. Enjoy!
I have a couple tips: Turn the reverb down, it kinda sounds like in you're in a massive cathedral Make the kick more pronounced and less washed out Great work though 👍🏻
I totally agree, listening back I already have a laundry list of improvements to make. Hopefully this summer I'll be picking up an Alesis Midiverb, working with digital effects drives me insane.
Thank you! Renoise is somethin else, for sure. Xtal was recorded on damaged tapes (according to legend), so the noise is from a vinyl simulation plugin in an attempt to emulate the grittiness of it. It hasn't got the tape warble or the phasing effect, but it's somethin! Appreciate the kind words.
Everything is sampled! I sourced the original song used for the lead pad and chopped/processed it a number of times to get the result I wanted, and all drums come from the R8-MkII and its expansion cards. The horns are sourced from an orchestral live sample set which was post processed. I didn’t want to use any pre-edited samples, so I could have more control in fine tuning things. Thanks for the kind words!
I agree! The vibrato likely comes from the tape, and the reverb is likely from an Alesis reverb unit. I plan on scooping one up soon to run my effects through instead of doing it digitally, which I struggle with.
It feels like I’m hearing this song for the first time
Ah, how I wish I could do that again. Thank you! :)
Absolutely insane how incredible this is. Liked and subscribed almost immediately. Please bring us more gems like this!
Thank you so very much for the kind words, it really keeps me motivated! I’ll be sure to make some new things, you’ll see them here! :)
Excellent work
Thank you! :)
Sounds good thank you!!!
Sometimes I just came back here to put another like.
Very kind words!! Thank you so much :,)
amazing
Thank you!
Very impressive! I also made a recreation on my channel, although the one you made is complete 👏
I took a listen, you've got a great start! Keep it up! :)
Soooo great!

this is so so good
Excellent as always, Renoise is a complex thing imho. Btw, what's that noise in the background? From PC?

This is very dope! Is this all sounds is just sample sources? No VST's running here? 💜

I think the pad needs a slight vibrato and more reverb.

can you create a discord community so we can discuss this work? It is really good and we love afx musics as you do :D
There's actually an Aphex Twin Discord! Here's the link if you'd like to join: discord.com/invite/vt5dUcp
What's keeping someone from just playing the original and showing random screens from a DAW
Nothing! I wish this was as close as that, though.
