Prodigy - Always outnumbered, never outgunned

[DIGITAL SCREAMS]

Liam said this....and Liam said that....

Ok sweethearts....tell Screams the artical and he'll put this matter to rest muhahahahah

Ive dont my own researching and this is what ive found:

"So, Reason is pretty much the meat of the sound on the new album?

Literally everything you?ll hear on the new album has been written on Reason. Everything starts there. Eventually we get to a stage where the song is written, and then we ? that?s my producer Neil McClennan and I ? move it into ?Tools where we finish off everything, and that works great since Reason integrates with ProTools really well. Everything that comes out of Reason sounds really good, it?s got this sound, I think ? a kind of certain... everything sounds like it ?locks in? really good, you know? And that sound we got out of Reason is something that we now and again had to go back to Reason to duplicate; sometimes we?d do a thing in ProTools and it just didn?t rock it like Reason did, so we?d take it out of ProTools and try to duplicate it in Reason instead.

What are your favorite Reason devices?

That would have to be the drum machine and the Dr. REX. I use the REX player all over the place and I just love the way you can mess around with a loop, and I love the way you can sync the LFO to tempo and route it to the filter, we use that on the album a lot. As for the effects, the Scream 4 unit is just the best thing for the type of music I?m writing. Definitely the high point of version 2.5 for me. The tape distortion is very good for bass, to give it the edge, it?s warm...

What, specifically, don?t you use Reason for?

When it comes to bass sounds, I?m pure analog and I don?t use soft synths for bass at all. There?s just no substitute for analog. Instead, I?ll take an Oberheim, Moog, Korg MS-20 or something, sample a sequence of it playing, rex it up and then bring that back in Reason and lock it in there. I do occasionally use the softsynths to put melodies down ? I?d say maybe 80% of the synths, the top line and high end stuff, is Reason. I can?t as of yet use it for everything ? obviously you can?t record vocals into it ? but ultimately, what Reason does have by way of limitations is also one of its strong points. It forces your imagination to be more on the board, you have to dig it out of your head rather than just going ?well, I just can?t do that in there?. I never saw it that way, I mean if something you want to do is completely off limits then just use another program, no big deal"

So this is where he went wrong? LOL

Only Joking guys......its a good album...im just pulling ur chains heheh

I got to say I was impressed when I first popped the disk in. Lot's of energy. And then it got redundant. . . .
Good overall. Very happy to hear from Liam again! Does anyone know when he's releasing the 'Girls' samples?

For those who new to music business:
If you see a famous supasta' bitching about how good Reason is, and how
he used it in his last album - he got a free copy of it from Propellerheads
just for saying that in interview, it doesn't really mean that he used it at all.

You think if he was really saying it only to promote the company, then all he would be getting is one free copy??????

Fuck me, I would want alot more than that! I dont believe it is in his character to sell his soul to some software company. He doesnt need to, financially, and I just dont see him as that type

Maybe Liam got a bit more than just one free copy, but i know people who got
all propellerheads software packs just for biggin' up the company in interviews.
It's not "selling the soul" or something negative like that,
it's a regular commercial thing, nothing special.

To quote Bill Hicks...

Here's the deal folks, you do a commercial, you're off the artistic
roll call forever. End of story. Ok? You're another corporate fucking
shill. You're another whore at the capitalist gangbang. And if you do
a commercial there is a price on your head, everything you say is
suspect, and every word that comes out of your mouth is now like a
turd falling into my drink.

Every artist should say it loudly and proudly everytime before doing a commercial

[Hollowcell]

I think in Liam's case he was not plugging Reason just for the cash. You can hear Reason through out his album - sadly. I really think Reason inspired him to get out a new album and for that he plugged it when it was brought up in interviews. Of course I'm sure he received a few chash bonuses for doing so too though. In his case however, he obviously used it to the hilt on his latest, which indicates more than just a name drop cash-up scheme.

Liam is a MILLIONAIRE. The whole Propellerhead package costs what? $1000? How much money do you think they could give him? Props are not a rich company. Liam had MADONNA asking him to produce her album. I think you're reaching for it here. Lots of artists talk about the gear they use in interviews.
