Aphex Twin Beats in Ableton Live = Ned Rush
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 тра 2020
- 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 want to like this but 303 likes is too perfect
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.
Cowbell sound: didn’t sound like a cow to me...right on mate
I think it's obvious that there should be a part 2 for this topic.
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
You have blown my mind. Absolutely amazing, respect to both you and the software developers at Ableton.
“Everyone likes a good rim” Hahaha. Love these videos mate. Doing the community a great service! Thank you! :)
honestly the best tutorial around and the best guy to learn production techniques from.
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!
Very informative and great course corrections throughout the live production process. Thanks!
Always stoked to see a new video from you man

"Everyone loves a rim" - Ned Rush 2020
Fantastic technique defo giving this a crack today get some tuss vibes going
could you do a Boards of Canada style tutorial as well?
great idea!
Hell yeah, I'm all for this
He just published one
Seriously smiled when I saw the thumbnail of NED RUSH on my front page. Wooooo!
First video, instantly one of my favorite channels. Cheers weirdo.
Wow! Thanks for showing the potential with Ableton!
super interesting, useful, and amusing stuff - I particularly enjoyed the bits with imitating trolls :) I could listen to that all day
That is fantastic. completely authentic . don't think my computer would cope well with this. unbelievable that your CPU is barely going past 7
Been binge watching your stuff learnt a lot about ableton from you thanks mate
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.
This is beyond great!
Bro I love you ,you just lifted my soul
Great tutorial, blowed my mind
Loved this one.... cheers
amazing tutorial, you're a legend
This was a good time. Definately touched on some things I would have never explored normally.
That was fun to listen to thanks!
i love this. thank you!
This is great, thank you!
you are beast good sir!!!! thank you for all of this!
great video. Learned a lot thankyou
Learned a lot from this, love arpeggiators now
Kickass! Thank you.
Awesome, thank you!
what you did to live is brilliant man
Great video, I enjoyed it lots
i feel tracker-like sequencing in ableton, you're going great
wait for it long time! thx
Sounds pretty accurate. Good job there! 👍
THANK YOU FOR THE KNOWLEDGE
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!
11:07 that sounds so good...
hyperdub land
Amazing!
Cheers Mr Ned! Just what I needed right now
Amazing video.
nice one, thank you.
Everyone loves Ned Rush! Thanks, Ned!!!!!~~~> YOU DA MAN!!!!!! (Like we used to say in the 90s!!!!)
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!
Thanks, Murdoc!
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
Man thats awesome, making mad machines, understanding it, thnx very much!
"Thats the type of person i am" LOL !
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.
incredible
that was actually quite hard to follow, but slowing down step by step, gdamn, brilliant
cool ideas
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!
31:10 beautiful chord progressions, AI.
amazing..
Superb
That's fucking amazing!!!
Nice !
Your imitation of how trolls speak is a perfect Aphex twin sample idea
My mind blew a little when you switched tempo
Love you ned, smooches.
i love it
Hi Ned ! Thank you so much for sharing this. This kind of beats always sounds as mystery to me and every tutorial or personnal attemps I did wasn't even close to what Aphex Twin's beats sounds like. You did a fantastic job. Quick questions: do you have a recommandation of where I can find drums sample (808 as you have, but also MFB, Vermona...). I would like to try what you did but can't find 10,12,16 samplesof the same sound with only slights differences... Thanks again !
goldbaby does good drum samples. vermona. cheetah. 808 etc www.goldbaby.co.nz/products.html
I used bit torrent.
😂 i had things to do but this is to much fun to stop watching C’mon Rush give us Some aphex Acid ;)
Great video thanks for sharing. What keyboard shortcut are you pressing to draw in those super fast midi notes at 13:32?
also wanted to know
21:08 theres one in pigments that i use all the time!
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
ua-cam.com/video/5yQRp4j2RQM/v-deo.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
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
Cheers Ned. This is great, although I don’t even understand what you’ve done yet
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?
would like to see a bit about side chaining, in relation to this technique
I love the idea of Aphex Twin torrenting sounds like the rest of us
I love u Ned
You're the fucking best Ned
Absolutely sick tho
Very funny the tusss !!!😀😀😀👍♥️
Can you do an updated version of this for Ableton 11?
This is a fucking masterclass!!!
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.
I hope this was made in a tank , in a bank, on a hand built diy laptop .... great vid
genius!
Any chance one can download your probability pack? Cheers mate! Great video!
So how do the follow action steps differ in ableton 11 if at all? I know they've changed how follow action works a little bit.
Sorry if you've already covered this in a later video.
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?
What happened to the snare sound at 13:38? The 3rd set of 1/64ths sound totally different. Would love to know how you did that. Wonderful tutorial, though!
Hello. It was really amusing. Can you share your tracks where you used this techniques a lot? Appreciate!
Check our my album Unsubscribe on my bandcamp.
@@NedRush ок, thanks. Keep it up))
Everyone loves a good rim
I have no idea I follow the video but get the different pad sound, I just want the same sound in aphextwin beat video. so I wanna know if I put different bass sounds to sampler. Thank you, sir.
use a tape modulation on the drums that swhat he did for the tuss
Do you think with the Logic new update you can do all that?!
Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but when I adjust the Probability macro it also effects how many of the samples in the Sampler that get triggered. Like if I set it to 84 it won't play any of the samples above the velocity value 84. What's up with that?
how did u put those drums, anyway thanks for the video ♥
this goin viral then
That cow gets me every time i watch this video😂
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!!!
