vkxwz Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 I know there probably isn't any real way to know for sure, but how much of this track do you think is solely RDJ's voice from that sample at the beginning? the breaks at around 1:40 sound like breaks sampled from elsewhere, but theoretically he could have created these samples from the original, right? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I can't find much at all (on this forum or anywhere else for that matter) about the production of this album, and so much of it makes me go "how did he even do that?"

Dpek Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Maybe it's none. I know I read somewhere that he likes to create human-like voices with pure synthesis - as far as I know he did it this way on Fenix Funk 5.

T3551ER Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) who knows? Though, based on no actual experience whatsoever with the device/software, sound like the initial vocal sample is his voice mangled using Kyma Pretty well known that most of Drukqs was composed on laptop using PlayerPro, which (in part) explains how he achieved the highly microedited sounds. Oh, also, obligatory "read the rules" comment. Welcome!

I that's the case for afx 237, although the speech synthesis on 54 cymru beats is really impressive (if that's what it is), On 5/23/2019 at 7:09 PM, T3551ER said: who knows?

Sounds to me like all of the mangling to the sample was done in PP, you can get that sort of effect pretty easily with retrigger effects, although I find getting it to sound as good as that is near impossible...

Also, just found an interesting video here that actually kinda reminds me of Cunningham's Flex.

vkxwz Posted May 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) That Kyma stuff looks really interesting, I see what you mean now. I got bored and tried to see if I could make realistic sounding drum samples starting only with a voice, here's the result... https://clyp.it/ I know it's shit but if I can do that then I reckon aphex could make anything out of anything really.

vkxwz Posted June 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 I guess it was a pointless question anyway, so I'm gonna ask another pointless question, anyone know how RDJ made the acid line on Mt Saint Michel? looks to me like he's filtering the retriggered percussion in a really cool way to get those sounds but it's really hard to tell what is really going on.

Just the acid line thru the first third/half of the track? If I was going to try to recreate something like it it I'd find a microtonal scale I really like, then make a bunch of acid sounds in the scale, then throw it together until something good comes out in the track. Usually in Aphex's stuff there is a fairly simple background melody that acts as a kind of anchor which all the other parts play off of and follow, like with Vordhosbn or T69 Collapse, with the almost sine-wavey melody. Though a few of the tracks on Drug Use really sound like he was throwing a ton of stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Like the first half of Michel's, Cock/Ver10, or 54 Cymru Beats. Not the whole time in each song, but mostly when there's no background melody to 'anchor' and sounds are flying every which way. There are some glitches he could have used percussion to trigger a volume envelope for said glitches, like that 'aii-aii' bit at 1:22. It can definitely be faster to use percussion to control volume verses controlling it manually. You also get more unique envelopes. It's also a really good way to layer different sounds since they all use the same volume envelope to kinda glue them together.

Bubba69 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 I think the acid line on mt st michel is just some acid riff he made and saved into his samples folder and then chopped it up. gated and filtered and resampled it with a tracker and added breaks and other vocal samples and pads. Could make it in 5 minute probably.

I used to think this but I doubt it now, doesn't sound like real acid that's been sampled and then chopped up. another thing is how he made the opening few bars of the track, I actually used to think that acidy thing writhing around were bird noises haha.
