Re: Where Do People Start?

I absoutely NEVER start in reason. It just leads to killer sounds but bad songs. I write melody/chords then lyrics (with guitar). Then build my reason track to support the SONG. Melody (and lyrics if used with melody) is way more important than anything else which shows why so much old music that wa...

Re: SHOULD I BUY A MACBOOK PRO OR OTHER PC LAPTOP??? 2018

Since I switched to macbook pro in 2011 I've never had a single problem with reason EVER period. Although back before that I had a PC and didn't have problems with reason either but it was pre-audio reason version 5. Used to have loads of problems with PC and pro tools to the point I gave up on it.

Re: Reason 10.1 - New Players + Europa Sample Import - May 8th

As a die hard user of REDRUM im really interested to try out this new drum player and see if it offers improvments. It's hard to tell what it really does but even if it just kinda gives KONG the ability to be programmed like REDRUM im interested. Usually when I use the existing players its just to "...

Re: Why Reason?

The only features it doesn't have that I want is Video Sync for scoring, Mp3 export (for quickly checking stuff or sending ideas around), More Ableton LIVE like live function...

Reason with a touch of Ableton Liveness

Can you imagine how great it would be. The only thing that makes me envy Ableton is the ability to do stuff while the track is going and have it be implemented instantly without having to stop the track and restart it. Is that a super hard thing to implement I don't know, I'm not saying it isn't. Bu...

(Indie Music) Maxxfield - Beautiful Mistake



Hi everyone this is the first song I've distributed (spotify/applemusic/cdbaby/etc) using only Reason 10. I'd love to see a way to use reason 10.5 (like ableton) to really "perform" the track in the future.

Re: Quality of Samples

Another thing to consider is that by the time you mix multiple elements together it doesn't always matter as much. E.X. If the sample is of a big fat keyboard that has tons of highs and lows, by the time you mix it with an actual bass and an actual kick drum the lows in that big fat keyboard sound w...

Re: Feeling played by Reason's Players (W/ Pets and cake)

If you don't find that scales/chords gives you a ton of new ways of looking at things you should really consider learning some basic music theory like: 1. What makes a major scale (series of Whole steps and Half steps Ex: W-W-H-W-W-W-H) 2. Then mess around with those combinations and find what your ...

Re: Propellerheads might be waking up finally. Not that it means anything yet.

When I saw that email I thought nothing of it. IMO, it didn't say much between the lines. It would be pretty bold of the Props though, to deliver another content-centric update. It's pretty clear their current #1 priority as of late is to get as many NEW users as possible. But they can only pursue ...

Re: MClass Compressor vs Rack Extension Compressors

Contrary to my old ways I try not to compress most things now. If I do it starts with the SSL mixer. On vocals I'll sometimes add an extra M-Class. When I do that I make sure to go really light on both of them. If its not good enough still I'll do a parallel compression channel and really go to tow...

Re: Mono Double Tracking

This video meant a lot to me too! The whole concept of a stereo file end prodcut having multiple mono or stereo signals can be conceptually daunting mix wise. I prefer to keep everything mono except maybe a bit of vocals/high end details, or a signature feature of song like bass. So many times I'll ...

Contrary to my old ways I try not to compress most things now (especially when you have the masterbus compression on a little bit anyways). To me its so much more important to make sure the levels and EQ are right. If I do decide to compress it always starts with the SSL mixer. On vocals I'll someti...

Re: Reason 10 early adopter voucher

Real answer: They didnt want us to have the discount. Existing users are useless to them. New users and new money is what compels them. Dual pricing like a 3rd world country is their priority, except unlike in a 3rd world country... they are ripping off the locals not the tourists.

Between this and the line 6 amps and giving away radical and synchronus (am I missing anything) then penalizing early adoption/beta testers... I feel learning is not what is happening on customer satisfaction.

Re: Reason 10 early adopter voucher

That rubs me the wrong way. I'm literally telling people every day about the product and beta testing and buying it early and then they reward customer like this? I don't think I can support them anymore its not about 30 bucks its about the principle.

Re: Most important recording techniques you've learnt

I always try to keep reminding myself not to be a purist. So much time, energy and money gets lost in this. You can endlessly try to find that "old" guitar sound. That "real" Moog sound.
