What DAW do you use?
Reason.

How long have you been producing for?

Koven, Mojo, Benga, Bar 9, Dizzee Rascal, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Funtcase, Disclosure, Noisia, Dismantle, Farkas, Lee Perry, Mobb Deep, Joker, Sukh Knight, Distance, Wu Tang Clan, Rusko.

sidi

What DAW do you use?
i use ableton for most of my tunes, but i have started figuring out logic, too... logic is pretty nice for sound design and the plug-ins are quality!

How long have you been producing for?
well i started in spring 2012 with ableton when i was 15, before that i used garageband which was more like dragging loops on other loops, so .. started taking it seriously 5-6 months ago

What VSTs do you favour?
massive, camelcrusher, psp vintage warmer. i also love the granulator by monolake in ableton - nice for textures and lush sounds. yeah and thats it really , i mostly use the standart ableton & logic plug-ins... logic synths are very good imo

What artists/labels would you say most clearly reflect your sound?
i am not producing for very long so i have to admit that i don't have found a own sound really. at the moment my impression is that my tunes sound really generic (which i think is a bit boring), so maybe i would say benton or sleeper/district. Labels.. hmm.. chestplate, wheel and deal maybe? all in all i want to find a more distinct 'sidi' - sound. want to go more in that sampling direction with audio and stuff , experiment more, dont want to limit myself to 'dungeon' or shit like that..

Influences (both inside & outside of Dubstep)
well inside dubstep i think my main influences are producers like commodo, lurka, clouds, L A S, of course the chestplate crew and lot of deep medi stuff. but i am more influenced by things which surround me , for example the weather or a nice, clean room.. (i like it when things are well designed and clean and organised) it can be everything really.

Would this be a remote collaboration, or would you prefer someone to work with IRL? (NB - if IRL, please state location)
would prefer irl, but i live in dresden, germany so dont know if there's somebody lurking here in the forum who is near to me.

What DAW do you use?

Studio One V2/Cubase 5 - although I can use most DAW's, just not logic (no mac)

How long have you been producing for?

Nearly 3 years now, but as a serious thing... about 2 years.

What VSTs do you favour?

massive as my main synth(but can work in most synths). But loads and loads of effects plugs.. too many to mention. I work mainly in audio files rather than midi. Most stuff gets bounced down once it's right.

What artists/labels would you say most clearly reflect your sound?

I don't try to sound like anyone else. I definitely have my own style. It has come quite naturally tho, I didn't force it.

Influences (both inside & outside of Dubstep)

Anything with an original sound. From Burial to Moby, Red Hot Chili Peppers to System of a Down.


Would this be a remote collaboration, or would you prefer someone to work with IRL? (NB - if IRL, please state location)

I live in Leeds, UK. Anyone from Leeds would be a bonus but I guess that is unlikely so a remote collab is great too!
