Honestly how is music like this made?

ignore the video (unless you want to see sw33t N4S clipz)
but really how is music like this made? I barely hear any recognizable instruments and when they are there they're only short snippets.
Hours upon hours just to come up with one song? Seems like it would.

Anyone know?
By the way the track is SebastiAn - Ross Ross Ross

Ableton Live probably for od looped shit.

I have an idea or hypothesis...

Fruity loops and garage band both have preset sounds. Both have ways of distorting those preset sounds. Also you can import your own sounds via Mic, audio in etc. So what I imagine what they must of done was combined thousands of diff sets of audio and made a soundtrack out of it.

Someone with more knowledge of the subject can elloborate on that.

You must not listen to Aphex Twin, Authechre, Squarepusher, or any of the like.

oh oops slipped my mind that those artists include production methods in the liner notes of their albums, my bad thanks dude!

Sebastian uses max and probably an Atari ST.

"Hours upon hours just to come up with one song"???

How long did you think this shit takes?

Aphex Twin is notorious for lying about his production methods, so if it says anything in his liner notes I don't know that I'd trust him.

I didn't know how to word it to express what I meant properly I guess.

WEEKS UPON WEEKS.

Sound bank and a sequencer?

interesting. where did you get this info?

i love how some of the best stuff is made on the most archaic machines and still producers lust after the most expensive bad ass mac's and outboard gear.

i found a little info on these forums but i dont know how reliable it is.

the music seem almost completly sample based.

An interview with him. I can't remember what magazine though... might of been XLR8R, he said he used max. But I read an interview with busy-p and he said he used cubase.

At the begining of the transexual split with uffie it says it was made on 5 computers linked together or something which leads me to believe hes running cubase on an old school Atari ST.

It's not hard to make stuff like this... A couple of synthesizers, some samples (drums, voice, synth) and some FX. But it takes hours to compose, like all kinds of music.

More amazing to me is stuff like Autechre, Badun and Burnt Friedmann. Autechre program most of their stuff in Max/MSP.

Some insight?

[metaabuse]

Uhh, what do you want to know?

I didn't watch the video but I'm pretty sure it's the Venetian Snares track on Renoise, which is a tracker. You load in samples and then put numbers and letters in those columns and take it from there. I can KIND OF use trackers, but I mostly just stick to Ableton.

And about druqks, I'm fairly sure it was the Analord series that was recorded analog and not that album

strangely enough I find myself wondering about music techniques outside of the electronic music genre moreso than inside of it
