    What synth u using?

      I’m using a free synth called “vital” but you can follow along in any synth you have :)

      it looks like a linnstrument or something like that for the midi interface.
      Do a vid on your setup!

      Im dumb, sorry, just checked the content.
      I want a linnstrument so much, its crazy, a world of manipulable sound at your fingertips :O
      aftertouch just isnt enough

      @@LaidBackApophis if you dont want to break the bank try the Exquis, it's an MPE midi controller with hex grid layout, isomorphic like linn except linn is square grid instead of hex. however, the same idea remains - note relationships to each other are THE SAME ACROSS THE ENTIRE DEVICE meaning if you learn the shape of a minor or major third or fifth, its that SAME FINGER PLACEMENT no matter what root note you start with.

      @@AntonProducerI really appreciate you using vital even though I mostly use Phaseplant and Europa Because I know that I can basically always recreate the sound on my synths. With the more complex serum sounds I always feel like something is missing when I try to recreate it, but not the case for vital.

    Man this is amazing, its rare to find videos that go in depth with Aphex Twins music with clear and concise explanations. Lots of tutorials chalk his music up to being random or just throw in a bunch of drums and pads, but you have the skill to break down the intricacies of how the synthesizer is used and how to produce that natural analogue feel, Your awesome thank you!

      Producers don't mix or write music. They guide the artist and are a liason between the artist and the record label.

      ​@@SocialGoreYou are wrong. A music producer can be a person who; writes, composes, arranges and does all the sound design. You are thinking of a different kind of producer.

      @@SungazerDNB No, people started using it that way because hip hop beat makers didn't know the difference. If you write, it's a writing credit. If you engineer, it's an engineering credit. There is a literal definition of a music producer. You're out of your element.

    On the one hand, it's amazing to see such a wise youngling studying from ancient masters and all.
    On the other hand, the tiktok chainsaw editing is harsh on my decaying old brain :D
    Great video.
    A further tip is to totally bollox up the levels on your mastering run. There's a couple of tracks on Ambient Works 1 with overloads that make it all that way through cassette duplication......honestly, if you find a cassette version and fire it up on a deck with meters, you will see that at least 2 tracks just sit with the +6dB light on......I can only assume that the mastering and dupe engineers had a manic R.D. James yacking at them the whole time LOL
