Very mellow, in a Belle & Sebastian, Air, French (or at least European) pop sort of way. I have to admit that, at the point at which the main vocal begins, I was wondering whether a laidback rap would come in – something like Rockers Hi-Fi. Is this all made with Reason?

Ah, thanks – glad it was of interest. Coldcut did, I think, set up the Ninja Tune label, but that was a while after their early releases, such as "Beats + Pieces" and "Doctorin' the House", which were the things that influenced me when I was a teen.

Remix of a track originally made in early 1989, using a home hifi and eleven records, and heavily influenced by the samples-based approach of Bomb The Bass, Coldcut, S’Express, et al. The original recording featured voices from news reports, the Shipping Forecast, and my 16-year-old self. In 1989 my...

Hmm - I see you've definitely pushed a lot of music into your blocks! My songs have at most 8 - but mostly just the standards: intro, verse, prechorus, chorus, bridge, outro. (sometimes there might be a second bridge and/or verse) The variations are all made in the sequencer by either muting or ove...

Not sure what the problem is? These are just component pieces that can be arranged in any order in the sequencer. I mean: can the list itself be arranged in any order? It seems that, once the blocks exist, you can't restring the list into a preferred sensible order. Example attached: having created...

Is there a means of changing the order of the blocks in a song's blocks list? I can't see anything on this in the relevant section of the manual. If there's no means of changing the order, this seems a really bad design. It means that the blocks have to remain in the list order in which they were cr...

If you double click any audio clip in the sequencer and enter the comp edit mode, the original file name will be listed as the name of the comp row. That's interesting, although it doesn't seem to work for me. Though the name gets lost if the audio clip is bounced. Nearly all of the samples I use e...

you should be thankful that someone is coming to watch grateful to these people The most depressing gig I ever played (at the legendary and long-gone Bull and Gate, London) was one where a band member stopped halfway through and pointed out that "There are more of us on the stage than there are peo...

I think when you import a clip into the sequencer it becomes part of the project file into you delete it, which is something I absolutely love about reason cause years later, all the projects that have audio files play without issues Agreed – if this is how it's working, and it seems to be, then it...

Well, weirdly, it isn't giving me the option of "self-containing", even though the song I'm working on has had at least 100 audio clips dragged into it. It seems that Reason just sees these as self-contained parts of the song automatically. And that having done that, it is not able to see them as cl...

Thanks for this. The "self-contain" information seems only to include sounds brought in from Reason sound banks. So it doesn't list any audio clips that you might have generated yourself (outside of Reason) and dragged in.

Thanks for this. I think I'm unsure of the status of audio clips after they've been imported. In earlier versions of Reason I used to get the "some samples have not been found!" message when opening an old song and finding that I'd misplaced the samples that were in the ReDrum. I realize that audio ...

Does Reason have a feature that shows, say as a list, all samples currently used in a Reason song file? I mean: including the names of any audio clips that have been dragged directly into audio channels, not just samples used in the NN19, NN-XT, Redrum, and other instruments into which samples can b...

The lyrics comprise (almost) all of the street names of the Leam Lane Estate in Gateshead, north-east England.
Reason 12, voice, Behringer TD-3, Nektar Impact LX49+, environmental recording, samples.
Enjoy!?

Does anyone have any idea how to do that? The Nektar Impact – which I've generally found the worst, most unintuitive waste of space I've ever spent money on – is supposed to have a "grab" function that allows you to assign knobs to parameters in Reason. But I can't get it to control panning of indiv...

I like the forwards-backwards flexing synth pad. Nice shiny production. The very simple snare and kick are essential; a big snare might have ruined it. I sometimes wish that the track graph in Soundcloud could be hidden. In an instance like this you know when a breakdown is coming, because you can a...

It doesn't particularly remind me of Jean-Michel Jarre. The opening section with the main riff reminds me more of The Tornados' " Telstar " (1962). The bass pad and pattern are more like Kraftwerk's "Neon Lights" (1978). I like the part at 2:03 where the arpeggiating pattern is disrupted. The sectio...

Reason Studios responded to me about the OS Ventura quitting problem with Reason 12.6.2. They said that they weren't aware of the problem (although I mentioned that other users of this forum have sent reports of it), and that I should download and install a "logging" version of Reason 12.6.2. They a...

I should probably have mentioned that when I used to play live with bands, we nearly always used a drum machine, or several drum machines. We went to gigs by Underground. Other bands on the bill would be lugging drumkits and amps in from their vans, and we'd turn up with all our gear in carrier bags...

Artificial Intelligence in the not so long run will transform capitalism into either distopian Neo-Feudalism with AI robots to enforce the law of the 1% rulers -or- into a sort of Ancient Greece global πόλις where the AI replaces the slaves andin which everyone is freed from the need to work and fr...

Yep, I've submitted a request too, outlining the problem. Hopefully they'll provide an update to fix the bug soon.

I hope this bug gets squished soon. I do not like to have to force quit any application. Same here. Especially when the slow closing of the track makes it difficult to tell whether all of the latest changes have been properly saved. I am using the Monterey OS on an intel computer(3.2 GHz 6-Core Int...

Age certainly makes a difference if you make music with other people. Between the ages of 15 and 34ish I was in one band or another, or sometimes more than one at a time. Once you hit 30 it's much harder to sustain this, because most people of your own age have buggered off and got themselves jobs, ...

Yeah it happens to me every other update it's very annoying.... Ah, thanks. I'd thought that maybe my track was too large (it was about 400mb, later optimized to 200mb), or maybe because it contains lots of small samples from different sources. But it sounds like this just might be an ongoing probl...

Since going with the Reason 12.6 update I've experienced problems when closing files and quitting. Very often it now gets stuck and can't quit; I have to force it to, which isn't great. This is on a Mac, OSX Ventura. I've never had this problem with Reason before, and I've been using it since 2005. ...
