Renoise arpeggio4/3/2023 You are the antithesis of everything AFX stands for. And you are sat here posting these dumb "how do I sound like Aphex Twin" threads. You are 1000 levels below someone like Rich, surely you understand this when you go through his fucking Soundcloud and see the amount of fresh, amazing compositions he has created. It is a waste of your time, you won't succeed, and ANYONE who encourages you does not have your best interests at heart and wants to see you waste more time. And if you don't know something technically, and you can't work it out with the power and breadth of the internet, whereas Rich worked it out on his own in a bedroom in Lanner, Cornwall, then you are just not cut out for it. Are you insane? If you don't know already, and can't work out that composition, melody and track narratives isn't something that can be taught, but that comes from genuine creative inspiration within from a gift you either possess or don't, then you aren't going to cut it. You spit in the face of the very essence that makes RDJ's music so good, genuine forward-thinking musicianship.īEING A DUMB PATHETIC POSER You literally are asking "how to get aphex twin-like COMPOSITION". No he just did his own thing, made a world of sound completely out of his own head that is unlike anything anyone had heard, unbelievably melodic and immersive, and super emotive. He is innovative, he didn't write an ad on his local newspaper going "how to get 808 state sound design or composition on Spectrum XZ". This can be done on ANYTHING.īE ORIGINAL Your next mistake is wanting to sound like Aphex Twin. Actual musical qualities that you need to possess. It is not about gear, it is about composition, narrative, melody, rhythm. Even though RDJA, CtD, Windowlicker and Drukqs was completely written on a PC, nah just have such a simple generalised view of music that the reason you can't make good music is because you saw a pic of RDJ hunched over tons of analog gear and so that must be the quick easy way to make good tunes right?. Ah, just blame the fact you haven't got money for modular and 'stuff', nice that that is what your frame of mind is. You have made so many huge mistakes with this awful post: So obviously you don't actually want to do that sort of stuff, because surely you understand the benchmark and definition of wanting to do that stuff with minimal gear has now been completely rewritten by Dick James. Rich didn't post on Reddit, asking for help when he was 14/15, no he just put his head down, studied his gear, had heaps of creativity and ideas, tons of stories to tell, and got it done and wrote the #1 best album of the 90's according to Factmag. These posts really hurt my head, how fucking pathetic you sound. I have tried just keeping the arpeggiator on and recording MIDI clips to visually see if the 16th notes more or less match the grid, and the result is the same - at one point it records fine, but the next clip shows the notes wildly off again.LOL. Any other MPK mini mk2 owners have experience with this stuff? Might also be that the MPK is not working as it should. Is my cheapo powered USB hub messing things up? I think this might be it, because I have had a couple of times when the MPK stops responding to any control movements but the lights stay on. Is the MPK arpeggiator simply too cheap to use like this? But it's enough to record a simple hihat 16th beat pattern, let it play along with the MPK arpeggiator and I hear already how Ableton's clip and the arpeggiator drift out of sync and produce a phasing effect. Basically I have it set to receive clock from Ableton and I want to fine tune the sync delay in so I will always receive a nice MIDI stream from the MPK without any annoying short notes in the end or beginning of clips. So I decided to sit down and figure out the individual latencies of my MIDI gear to figure out what delays I should set in Ableton to get everything as close as possible to the actual time and so that when I render MIDI clips to audio, there's no delay in the audio and no messing around trying to get different tracks to sync properly.Īt first it was easy enough, but now I am looking at the arpeggiator on the MPK Mini and it's seems like it's drifting pretty wildly.
