Im trying to argue either but....I spend about 6-14
hours a day in my studio which is filled with all
kinds of "gadgetry"....which is how in my opinion its
more messy and lazy than it is complex.....yes it does
have its beautiful and complex moments....but most of
the time it just seems a cop-out....in my opinion.
As a recording artist/musician it is interesting to
listen to how he does his processing....but, in my
opinion, anyone with enough experience and know-how
could easily see how this could be done very easily
and in very little time...all you need to do for most
of it is assign your effects to be controlled by any
number of midi controllers....then all you have to do
is record the parameter changes....once you have
layered all these effects...I wont get all into
technical aspects unless someone wants to go private
about it....but for example....
you could assign the delay depth and modulation rate
to an X-Y controller and get a very Aphex sound while
passing a drum loop through it and randomly sliding
your finger up/down, left/right on the X-Y ribbon or
pad.....you could also assign a set of knobs to
control various effects and do a little extra
engineering work and it would sound much more
complex....I would not mind at all explaining how to
achieve a very Aphex sound if people want to hear
it.....in my opinion its just too easy for what I
think Richard is capable of.
