Good day everyone!

The purpose of me having started this thread is to understand how many tracks that were made in Reason actually made it to the very top.

!!!!!!! The track you are about to mention MUST have MORE THAN 5 MILLIONS of views on YOUTUBE

If a track is great, superb, splendid, magnificent but has less than 5 mil views - you don’t post it here. Thank you. Let’s go

The format:

1) Artist - Track, Number of views on YouTube
2) Link to the track on You-Tube
3) Link to where producer confirmed him using Reason while producing the track.

———————-

Let me begin with a beautiful track:

Stromae-Alors on danse (153 million views on YouTube)



How he made it in Reason:

Kanye West Big Brother.


I met DJ Toomp and he played the project on his MacBook pro. He used mainly alot of NN19 Patches.


TI what you know.

This was a huge song in like 2006. Again DJ Toomp was a heavy Reason user.

I think he use Maschine now. I'll bet you'd be surprised at how many use Reason in some form or fashion.

I would not link all the tracks from this album but The Prodigy album - Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned was made in Reason as I read it somewhere back then, all I could find now is the Wikipedia article containing this info:

^ It's all subjective ofcourse, but I never bring that album up as a "look at what you can make in Reason" example, as I personally think of it as a "bad" sounding album. There's something off with it. It sounds messy and rough, though that may have been what they were going for. Or maybe FOTL was just too close to perfection for me haha :D

PS nice to see Stromae brought up around here. While I believe "Cheese" was made in Reason, I'd love to know if his follow up "Racine Carrée" was as well, because I think not.

AONO is one of my favourite Prodigy albums!
But I seem to remember reading that Liam just sketched things in Reason, and then transferred the ideas to other systems to work them up into tracks.

On Jean Michel Jarre's Live in Beijing DVD - the documentary part, while he was on a plane, on his laptop you could see Reason.
Also, Geometry of Love album sounds like using familiar Reason patches.

Good day everyone!

Let’s tally up some stats

The format:

1) Artist - Track, Number of views on YouTube
2) Link to the track on You-Tube
3) Link to where producer confirmed him using Reason while producing the track.

And please disregard tracks with less than 5 million views.

Let me begin with a beautiful track:
Rules, people!. ;) Stick to the format:

- post the YouTube video
- disregard tracks with less than 5 million views
- link to citation that confirms production in Reason

Look, Jean Michel Jarre is Jean Michel Jarre. Same can be said for The Prodigy in the own way of Liam Howlett.

I understand that songs like that G6 managed to become a commercial hit; but JMJ and The Prodigy are not only art, but also unique, impressive works made with effort, so I believe they definitely deserve an honorable mention. A must!

A final word: fame, in general, is confused with quality, unfortunately.

That's an entirely different thread, though. This thread is about popular hit songs made with Reason. :)

It's also probably not the best example because it was from, like... what, Reason 2.5 days? It's neat that they were able to do it, but not really much of an example of what Reason is capable of some 15 years later.

I love that album. Aged very well. Could not care less if it was produced on Reason or not. Clean and punchy album. Jilted Gen is my fav album, but does sound muffled (W30?) compared to AONO.

Please keep this thread without mentioning tracks with less than 5 millions views on YouTube.

I can give you hundreds examples of great tracks with just around 100k views. But the purpose of me having started this thread is to understand how many tracks that were made in Reason actually made it to the very top.

That seems like a rather arbitrary cutoff though. Like, tracks that have 4.8 million views should not be considered as having 'made it to the very top' when those with 5 million are?

Maybe 1M is a better cutoff? At least you step into a different order of magnitude.

I think the intent here is to round up some legitimate cases of superstar hits produced in Reason. Like, the Stromae video has 153 million views, so 5 million is actually a very low threshold.

And to be clear, I'm 100% with the "don't confuse popularity with quality" sentiment. I personally don't listen to a lot of popular music, but I still think it's interesting to study instances of commercial success, especially when they use the same tools we do!

The guy behind Eminem's tracks in recent years is almost exclusively Reason. There is a video on youtube around the rap god era about it but I'm too busy to hunt it out but it's there though.

My friend,

At this particular moment(just checked):

Ferry Wap -Trap Queen has 572 millions views on YouTube.

Calvin Harris - Summer has 1200 millions of views on YouTube

Taylor Swift - Shake it off has 2500 millions!!! of views.

Those numbers can be an example of “very top”. But not a 5 mil threshold.

So 5 millions on YouTube is not that much.

I wish the the users of Reason for decades have joined this discussion. Selig, Normen where are you?
