I like to be open to all kinds of inspiration, so there isn’t one way that I always start a song, but if I already have an idea in my head, I usually go straight to the ID8 and load up a stock piano or rhodes. When you load up a brand new Reason song, what’s the very first thing you do? Then I took a catchy piece of Gucci’s verse and chopped it up so that I could repurpose it as a hook, using delays, pitch shifting and stuttering effects. I started off with a Gucci Mane a cappella verse, put it on the grid and then built up a whole beat around it. Specifically on “10 Times,” which features Gucci Mane and E-40, I did everything in Reason except for record the verses. On “Mexico,” I took the existing 808 track that was in the Pro Tools session and ran it through the Scream in Reason. On the Freddie Gibbs’ “Sha dow Of A Doubt” album I used it to produce tracks from scratch, to enhance sounds from other existing tracks, to create sound effects and I also used it to put together some vocal ideas. I use it in a variety of ways but the main way that I use it is for starting musical ideas from scratch and if I’m not going to be recording any vocals on the idea yet, I usually finish the entire beat / idea in Reason. How do you use Reason in your music making? Do you have any examples of where you've used it? We spoke with Sidney about producing in Reason and he also shares his favorite Reason production tricks! Recently Sidney worked with rap artist Freddie Gibbs on his critically acclaimed 2015 album "Shadow of a Doubt". Sidney has worked with artists like Lupe Fiasco and The Knux and has also released albums and toured with his own band Malbec. Sidney Miller III, also known as Speakerbomb, is a record producer and musician from Los Angeles, USA.
