Re: Mainstream Albums Produced with Reason?

The Prodigy - Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned (2004) How about their last two albums "The Day Is My Enemy" & "Invaders Must Die"? Although it's possible that Reason could have been used also on those two albums Id say Logic Pro was the main production tool used, can spot it from some of their I...

Mainstream Albums Produced with Reason?

Hello, first of all apologies if there's already any other threads with the same topic. I'm curious to know which mainstream albums are known to have been produced using Reason as the main production tool? Two artists-albums I can think of off the top of my head are: The Prodigy - Always Outnumbered...

Re: Confused about "Discover"

Have to agree with a lot of the comments on here. I've never used Discover because it's never appealed to me, despite that though I do like the idea of a nice easy service where you can work and collaborate with like-minded people. As others have said it would be better if you could share the actual...

Re: Props tutorial series returns: Super Neat Beat Cheat Sheet series

Just a thought, but what about the possibility of creating a video on manipulating sounds/samples to create abstract rhythmic parts for things like TV/Film cues?

(If only Reason had video support :roll: )

Re: Props tutorial series returns: Super Neat Beat Cheat Sheet series

Another great tutorial video Ryan :) Really cool to see other less current mainstream genres being represented. Was great to see both approaches to the drums, i.e. the traditional loop approach by chopping up old drum breaks from vinyl and also the freedom of creating more unique drums by using usin...

Re: OS X El Capitan + Reason

Despite having issues when El Capitan was in beta I haven't had any issues at all with the release version or the latest 10.11.1 update with Reason 8.3 and Logic Pro 10.2

Re: OS X El Capitan + Reason

Yeah it was strange, I thought the main differences between Yosemite and El Capitan were mainly just performance and security tweaks and was a little naive in thinking Reason would have run without a problem. I did try installing and running Reason 7 to but it still crashes when opening the same as ...

Re: OS X El Capitan + Reason

Someone questioned the props on their Twitter page about El capitan support and the props said don't seem to be in any rush to fix it as it's still early in beta. I managed to downgrade back to Yosemite but ended up having to call apple and spent 2 hours talking with them trying to figure out why my...

Re: OS X El Capitan + Reason

From what I can gather it seems the problem is with the Authorizer, tried installing version 2.8 and it just hangs and freezes as you go to install it.

OS X El Capitan + Reason

Unfortunately it looks like Reason doesn't like the new OS El Capitan, whilst Logic Pro X seems to be running fine, Reason 8.3 seems to crash as soon as you try opening it.
Anyone else trying out the new beta for El Capitan?

For the Reason 8 naysayers.........

After deciding to skip reason 8 and hold out for v9 I thought I'd have a little play around with the beta for 8.3. Although I'll admit I'm loving the fact that they're gradually improving features, reason 8 still feels like a cluttered mess to me. The interface looks really incoherent and messy now,...

My main R9 wants:

What are people's opinions on when we're likely to see Reason 9 announced? I know Reason 8 has been out for a while now and new major updates have been coming on average yearly for the last few years (6.5 included). I'm gonna say we'll see an announcement for v9 within the next few months with a rel...

My main R9 wants:

For me it would have to be.. Curved fades for audio regions, as well as to be able to zoom more vertically on the waveforms. Improved graphics to support higher display resolutions. New and improved NNXT sampler instrument. A darker theme/look so that sessions are more easy on the eye after long per...

Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud (Remake in Reason & Logic Pro)

Thank you for the kind comments ☺️ Think I was initally inspired by the props video on quantising a non click live take. Ended up quite happy with the overall sound and wanted to prove to myself that reason can sound equally as good as any other daw

Hello, I'm having a little trouble trying to set up my Akai MPK Mini Mk2 to work with Reason 7 with the Kong pads.  When I go to initially set up the MPK with Reason in the preferences it doesn't recognise it and I end up having to select a different model for it to work.
