not Bob Marley, it’s Bob Dylan… he uses Renoise with scream filter to tune his voice

Aaah, my bad! Need to learn how to wiki

Richard Devine apparently uses Renoise, but also a lot of programmatic music apps like MAX/MSP and such.

Well in this interview he only mentioned Nuendo and Logic when talking about performing live (neither of which would be many people’s choices.)

Again here (and from this year) it mentions Logic (although the images aren’t working.)

also

DS: What are your main/favorite tools in the studio and field recording setup? Any especially for sound design purposes?

RD: Well my main environments switch around all the time depending on what I want to do. I use Logic 9 for a lot of my sound design creation. I love the new Flex modes, and Space Designer plug-in. I have been doing a great deal of exploration experimenting with impulse response technology. Using completely strange sources like the sound of a tree being ripped open from the inside as a impulse response and applying that onto a drum beat or vocal. You can get some really outrages results.

I also use Protools HD, Nuendo, and Ableton 8 (Max for Live). There is something interesting that I like working between all the various DAW’s. Some environments do things better then other when it comes to manipulating sound. Other tools I like to use are the Roland V-synth GT workstation and Clavia’s Nord G2 modular. More recently I have invested back into analogue modular synthesizers and built up a fairly large Doepfer Euro rack system. It has been really exciting lately as there have been some really interesting thing happening within that format.

The only place I’ve seen him mentioned alongside Renoise is on this site.

Regarding Renoise: 4th row, 2nd column:

Featured Content on Myspace

Also, I hear rumor that Renoise is spreading virulently in the professional electronic music community

And regarding Max/MSP: Audiohead.net - Interviews - Richard Devine

[kazakore]

Ahh cool, so he’s in the Renoise MySpace group, although not seen it mentioned in the interviews with him I’ve read.

I know he uses Max/MSP, especially Max For Live from what I’ve read. Not really something I’d consider a tracker, per se…

[BYTE-Smasher]

I’m pretty sure, like many professional electronic musicians, he probably uses every bit of software that he can get his hands on.

And yes, Max/MSP isn’t a tracker… though I’m sure you could probably develop one inside it

Aphex Twin sounds to me more like he was using Ableton Live…

Hi, I like Drukqs & Richard D. James album a lot, and Im curious about how he makes that music. I like to try different Software, but the two that I really use are Renoise (first) and Live. I cant Rewire for the moment, so I work with Live OR Renoise.
The question: Why do you think he was using Ableton Live??? Some of his songs sound very looped, but others (a lot of the Drukqs songs) sound like tracked.
I know, the most important thing is your artistic capabilities and skills, not the tool, but, for example, making a V. Snares song in Reaper seems pretty dificult : )

When asked how he tracked, Mitamirri, a famous tracker of the early 20th century, said "I never bend down low, just walk slow round and round until I see more

Quite like this actually , not familiar with this artist’s previous output, maybe that helps . Am wondering how he did those theme color automations.

[Irthosis]

No one mentioned Andrew Sega? AKA Alpha Conspiracy, aka Necros? Maybe it’s just me being hooked up on him, and he uses Buzz mostly.
He mentioned Renoise a couple of times here and here.
He says “it lost that tracker charm”. I hope nobody treats that as an insult.
Anyway, I love his music.

@Tehnik

no insult taken, he’s just saying bullshit

hahaha, +1

Liam used Roland W30s (two) exclusively to sequence (and not as samplers) until “Always Outnumbered…” where he used Reason (and just the NN-XT samplers)

[pirate_utopia]

I think Luke vibert was using old Trackers before he moves to hardware and Reason.
