made some good progress this weekend. i will have my part done in 2 weeks. ? ?
-
it'll get done, don't worry. i work 10 hour days with an hour commute each way, so weekdays are out. i only have weekends to work on this and if i have errands or other things to get done, then that eats into the time i have available. it's slow going & tedious work but i have the whole set blocked out start to finish in a rough fashion, and now i'm going in working on the finer details, which is the harder part actually. i'm not going to give an eta but i'm closer to the finish than the start, if that makes sense. trust me, no one wants this to be completed more than me!

this would be a question for IOS, as most of the work on this is his. i am just recreating the nord g2 parts.
-
I am continuing the work that IOS started. I am working within the Reaper project that he gave me.

the nord stuff is about 70% done. it's tedious work, actually. first listen to the recording, then mute it & listen to what the nord is doing, figure out which of the 8 variations is active for each of the 4 slots in the nord, figure out when the transitions happen from variation to variation, draw the midi cc automation in Reaper for the volume & variation changes in the patches. the trouble comes when i can't get the nord to quite match whats going on in the recording, which means something else is being tweaked on the nord. filter? resonance? adsr envelopes? or does the midi data from the mpc need to be muted temporarily? lots of trial and error and a/b comparison. listening to the same parts over & over, trying to get it to match up as well as i can. at the same time it can be fun to play detective & figure out how certain sounds are being made. i'm looking forward to really digging into these patches after i'm done with the reconstruction & seeing how they work. in the meantime, here's a minimal dub quaristice versions style remix i made before i started working on the reconstruction. this is just the mpc. i was going thru the sequences figuring out how they were organized. things started sounding cool so i hit record: AELIVE2008_MPC_RMIX.01

i'm going to have a ton of remixes of the mpc & nord stuff when i'm done with the reconstruction. maybe some remixes of the monomachine stuff as well. there are a lot of lush melodies & textures that got buried in the bootleg recording that need to be heard.
-
i'm working on it but it will be a couple weeks probably. weekends are the only time i have to work on this properly. the g2 stuff is complex + i'm learning reaper at the same time. so far, it's coming along quite faithful to the recording.
-
some peeps are working on this.
-
really appreciate the amount of work you put into this, IOS! i think Robs stuff will be difficult to replicate. a lot more jammy and freeform it seems like. you've got the mpc sequence/midi data, then the nords internal sequences & variations, and then all the controls on the bitstream which are meant to be tweaked realtime, along with the 2 qlink sliders on the mpc.
-
its possible that the sound is mostly the original audio of the source videos being processed in an extreme way. so just as the original video is being stretched & smeared, the original audio is being strectched & smeared as well. some sort of extreme granular / vocoder sort of effect, with the source audio being vocoded against their organ patch, which is itself reacting to the color / brightness of the original vids.

i'm not privy to any inside info, but based on their interviews i would bet autechre’s current rig is something very similar to this: https://ppooll.klingt.org/index.php?title=Main_Page it is a modular system built in Max. super powerful & flexible. tons of modules exist for it: https://ppooll.klingt.org/index.php?title=manual every module you load is instantly aware of all other loaded modules and can send/receive audio & control data to/from them. you don't need to physically connect anything in Max with patch cords. it's all 'wireless' so to speak. and of course since this is Max you can go in and alter the modules if you want or create your own from scratch. but it is also totally possible to use this system even if you are a complete Max noob as everything is already programmed. best part is you can save everything as a preset. once you get a collection of modules loaded up & interconnected how you like, store a preset in the main host module & it will be able to recall everything, even where you placed each module on your screen. the individual modules can store their own presets as well. i used to use this a lot back in the day and found it very powerful & quick to work with once you understood the basics and how the interface is organized. not as slick as something like Reaktor but more tweakable, extensible, and it’s also free.

New AE track on the Adult Swim Singles Program 2018 Coming Soon
digit replied to KovalainenFanBoy's topic in Autechre
everything that can be streamed can be ripped/downloaded, tho sometimes its a paint in the ass to set it up. -
this album is such a beast. dense. detailed. sam & rod were definitely not short of ideas here. i still regard this as their last actual 'album'. since then we've gotten live recordings (AE LIVE), extended jams of their tour material (ELSEQ), and the long evolving radio session jams (NTS), but we haven't gotten an actual "album", with all the WARP promotion, round of interviews, artwork, etc that that entails. is there a difference? there is to me. there's something different about an "album" release. more work on the production, editing, mastering. the stuff the've done since then has been cool and i've liked it but i still feel that something is missing. an extra level of polish or production, or depth to the sounds. it's hard to describe but if you put on exai now & listen to it you will immediately hear the difference. i feel like their current max-based system generates so much stuff that they are kind of letting all that output take the lead. lots of extended jams and sketches but not things that feel like finished works somehow.
-
if this thing can do clean precise sounds as well as it does all the gnarly textured distorted stuff, then i'm sold. really impressive sounding so far but the demo skewed towards the ultra crunchy beats. would love to hear more to get a sense of its range.
-
forget the reviews, where are the interviews? i'm surprised about the radio silence from ae regarding this release.

fLh is nine inch nails 'Closer' in an alternate universe where trent reznor is a happy go lucky kinda guy.

Autechre Autechre - Oversteps (WARP210) [The MegaThread]
digit replied to Friendly Foil's topic in Autechre
This album is at its best during an evening rainstorm. Streetlights glistening off the wet streets. Give it a shot if you haven't already. -
NTS 01: NTS 02: NTS 03: NTS 04:

+1 ae l33t point to user: usagi no doubt. that is an old skool reference.

Looking forward to making a mega playlist out of my favorites from sessions 1-3 once I've absorbed them a bit more. But not session 4. Session 4 is going to stay as one continuous 2 hour piece that I put on when I want to chill for a couple hours. It's all killer no filter from start to finish.
-
All end depressing? What track are you listening to? Sounds like ascending into the heavens to me. Flying in the clouds. + lol @ peeps thinking AE is retiring because of a track name. Many gonks still to come. Don't worry.

Casual shrimp is the best shrimp.

This has been the first session that I have liked in its entirety. Excellent stuff start to finish. We finally got our ambient album!
