Reason version 4 - Sequencer

[mmaurice21]

<---These things a light bulb will light up!

[mmaurice21]

I have used reason from v.3 and I always thought it was a really strong program it's sequencer was really simple to use. And now with v.5 i can honestly say that it's an amazing improvement!! To all the people that say other wise i say study it learn it be patient when u do all

[marrakecho]

I've pass Reason only because of its sequencer since version 4. Surprisingly the sequencer is worse in version 5 with blocks. Too bloated and insufficient.

Still can't figure out why they destroyed their simple but lighting fast sequencer!

[bkpleszew]

Czy mój keyboard: "Casio - CTK 481", jest zgodny z waszymi programami: "Reason 4" i "Reason 5 Record 1.5"?.

[deewon4]

To Propellerhead, I have used your products since Reason 1.0. The reason I use Reason is because it is SOOOO fast and incredibly EASY to muster up an idea. Reason 4 is a nice improvement to Reason 3, but the sequencer is far far too difficult and clunky to use. Please consider a revert button for 'basic' sequencing functionality like before. The changes made are too radical against user experience which Reason is so popular for in the first place.

[djsubliminalreeve]

the sequencer is slow i like flsudios sequencer better its alot quicker to use. both programs are really good to use as long as you experiment with them

[lukenakk]

One word for reasons 4 sequencer.. TERRIBLE!

[lukenakk]

One word for reasons 4 sequencer.. TERRIBLE!

[nove885]

Sequencer definitely needs a revamp! Its so sluggish!

[giannis916]

one of the best and fastest tutorials i ve seen!

thanks :)

[sonitob]

Are you nuts? This ain't a tutorial - this is a preview of the new sequencer in reason which by the way sucks big time!!!!!!!!!!

Just play with reason3 to see the difference!

[boby2626]

I feel comfortable with reasons 4 sequencer but I admit that older sequencer was easier and faster.

[cargo883]

I think the redesign of sequencer in version 4 downgraded the ease of use and simplicity of Reason!

Its pity that they dont put greater effort and attention when they redesign something that is already great!

Reason was needing quality effect devices and definitely not a sequencer!

[ballsdeep69420]

That shits hot man!! I make beats too- I subbed you, sub back please!

[kaldepo]

Cant agree more! The sequencer in Reason 3 was more user friendly and most of all quicker!

I really miss it!

The sequencer in Reason4 just sucks!

[defuzed28]

i think you guys are making a bigger deal of the sequencer. its not that different from the old sequencer u guys need to chill man lol im a serious reason nut maybe you guys are more used to other software and you need to be more precise on whats wrong it so they know whats wrong with it so they can amend it. i think some more effects would be good stand alone not combinator fx and perhaps being able to run 2 reasons at the same time on one pc?

[defuzed28]

ive been using reason since the begining and yes the sequency sucked at times. its a little better though i never quite realised you could do all that with the razor tool and flick through the tools on the keyboard so im ganna give that a try. they need to make the mixer tracks more easy to use ie remix solo's and mutes ive made a tune that uses alot of soloing and now im totally confused though im ganna use that mute function on the sequencer. reason is still the best software out there peace

[shagnetics]

you made the clips into Nazi's. i've been using this program since ver. 2.0 and now I think I may leave it for Ableton. You've made it extremely difficult and tedious to write something without a controller and then just copy and paste within the track your editing. WTF

[modular0101]

The sequencer in Reason 4 couldnt be worse! Its so disappointing! It feels like Propellerheads wanted to destroy their sequencer!

In previous version the sequencer was much faster and cleaner!

[XIOUH]

I first tought myself on reason 3.0, and only recently (approx 2 months ago) got a copy of Reason 4.0. At first look i thought what the hell have they done.... but with a bit of patience and a small time playing i got the hang of it...and now, i can honestly say i think its an improvement rather than a mistake. This Sequencer is alot more tidy in my opinion.

[fortgreeneprojects1]

thanks for the info. Reason 4.0 is a monster. I does the damn thing on reason. Peace

[hamst3rf1sh]

Having never used previous iterations, I'm not having too much trouble using the new sequencer... I actually really like it. Maybe that's because I've just moved over from ableton though.

[algorithm8]

Propellerheads why you ruined your beautiful functional sequencer? You prefer fancy graphics instead of functionality?

You have limited us with VST compatibility from the beginning! Now youre limiting our workflow with your new bulky sequencer! Whats going on?

Please redesign the sequencer! Or make available the old sequencer from preferences menu!

Dont ignore users frustration!

[lupitang]

Can you please give us back the good old sequencer of version 3? The sequencer in version 4 is soooooo wrong!!!!!

Please revamp it again!!! THIS IS URGENT!!!!

[CellTerrorist]

And I'm glad i found out here that 98% of the comments are negative about the sequencer, cause I had the feeling I was being inconpetent... (well, and now that I saw the video I understood also that what I was trying to do was impossible actually)

[CellTerrorist]

I actually just installed reason 4 and been playing around for a couple of hours, but it seems to me they tried to make something that would be more "simple" once you learn and get used to the interface/controls, like cubase. But the first time I played with Reason 2.0, I instantly liked it. Now with reason 4.0, I just shut it off with a slight feeling of frustration.

[CellTerrorist]

On basically, or mostly, every other sequencer ins the past you had the piano roll, and basic cut copy paste functions. Now with this clips with hidden notes, and not being able to edit greyed out portions of the clip or whatever, you have to read the manual or something to fully comprehend (or waste many hours with trail and error)

[KNOTLANDIN]

we cant get evrything how we want it to be else we cant buy it so then one ting will me good and the next thing rubbish..

[karmacop911]

I'm new to Reason 4. I don't understand what is so awful about the new sequencer. I find it very intuitive. The old one was hard to figure out and was the main reason I chose to start with FL Studio.

[CellTerrorist]

no, you cant'say it is "very intuitive". specially when so many users of the older versions are complaining that it is less intuitive. maybe your intuition is abnormal, since you couldn't figure out the older sequencer, which was obviously more intuitive to every user.

[borlando28]

At least give us the option to choose between the older and new sequencer!

As far as I can see from the comment here, too many users dont like the sequencer in version 4!

[borlando28]

Bring back the faster-direct and effective GUI of Reason 3!

Its a necessity for future versions of Reason!!!

[kozas0]

Seriously only thing that Reason 3 sequencer was missing was the ability to assign a track's output to a midi output so you could drive a VST instrument loaded on the rewire host, from within reason. And you can't do that at 4 anyway. I wanna cry.

[kozas0]

The new sequencer is CRAP. You can't re-assign a track's output to a different device. Total fail. You could do this on Reason 3 so easily. Plus the part auto coloring IS GONE. Completely. GONE! I can't believe it. You have to manually color each piece it won't work like in Reason 3. The new stuff in Reason 4 sequencer are not worth it. Everything you can do in Reason 4 sequencer you could do in Reason 3 sequencer, plus much more. Ah and faster. Yes i used to work WAY faster in Reason 3.

[digitalbeat]

Too much stuff in sequencer. It´s improved but not very fast to use. I like to post produce in Ableton Live not in Reason. They thought it would be cool like in Live but it´s pretty slow and clumsy to use after all.

I liked the sequencer was best in version 2.

[sonitob]

I wish somehow I could delete the sequencer from version 4!

Its so wrong!

[mesyo1]

OK, Reason4: tell me please:

HOW CAN I IMPORT, MOVE, COPY AND PASTE SIMPLE AUDIO LOOP WITHIN THE TIMELINE?

[TheMrdong]

i love reason 4. So many improvements from version 3. In particular the Thor Syth device

[blakmes]

Thor is good! But sequencer SUCKS big time!!!!!!!

[felixcruzazul]

dam i tryd reason pro tools cubase evryting and 2 b honest my favorite daw is fl studios it sounds stupid but its my favorite cuz its da ezest simplest program out their and it sounds great idk i ppl ha8 lol

[archee13]

you said it yourself, "It sounds stupid". There is slightly better sound quality in FL than in garage band. POWER is what most users demand.

[hellito225]

I don't think they'll change the sequencer in the next version of Reason! :-((

They're new application "Record" uses the same crappy sequencer!!!

[control103]

Despite Thor , the sequencer is annoying, demanding more clicks to do the same job you did in previous versions!

The graphics of sequencer are bulk! Manipulating audio is still a nightmare!

Very frustrating progress in Reason!!!

[baized]

i only hope someone from propellorhead is reading these comments so they can make the rsn 5 sequencer user friendly like in 3.0

[WARDISWARD]

well just merge all the parts on 1 track to one part ..easy

[makodans]

The sequencer in version 4 is ergonomically problematic! When youre entering the edit mode you can edit only the selected clip and not the whole track! Whats the point of it?

A poor re-design indeed!

[lukenakk]

Although I really loved Reason from the early beginning, the sequencer in version 4 is disappointing!

I also feel that the program is outdated!

Every other program has introduced so many new and exciting features over the years while Reason remained closed and limited in its environment!

[hellito225]

What????? You call it new sequencer???

Better call it new disaster!!!!

[southwestwa]

Why all the negative comments, I have Learnt, adapted and become efficient with this sequencer and I find no problems with it. SUCH IS LIFE.

[Deprecate1]

just when I was starting to love reason they came up with this garbage. The thing that most frustrates me about the sequencer is when you click a track to draw notes you have to select an area first, while the rest of the area turns grey. What the hell is the point of this... Reason 3 was sooooooo much easier to use. Goddamnit.. now I gotta look for a better software

[sokanok]

I think Propellerheads made mistakes in the design of new sequencer.

It just doesnt feel right!

[wordupc]

This is true! Reason's new sequencer sucks!

Very bulky!

Useless!

[alimvo]

Adding/manipulating audio via NN-XT or NN19 is nightmare!

The wav or aif files are not visible and they are audible only if you start the file at the beginning!

VERY FRUSTRATING!!!

[alimvo]

You don't have to be a genius to understand that Reason's 4 sequencer is a crap!

I have worked with Reason 4 the last six months, and its clear to me now that the older sequencer was by far more straightforward!

I'm sure they'll introduce the older sequencer again! The new one just doesn't work!

[myrtorp]

holy shit everyone here hates R4's sequenser!

I love it and would never change back to reason 3's sequenser.

[blakmes]

The sequencer in reason 4 is too awkward! I believe that they ruined their software with this poor redesign of sequencer!

Also it still lacks audio recording - wav manipulation and vst support!

A slow, but a certain death for reason!

[sanmongo]

Complainers have some strong points here! The GUI of new sequencer is really disappointing!

The graphics are too large making it harder to work on big projects!

In older versions this wasn't a matter!

I think Propellerheads really miss the point when they' were updating the sequencer!

[myrtorp]

duh just hold crtl and scroll the mouse wheel to change size of the sequenser tracks

[lupitang]

I'm working generally on a 17inch laptop. Unfortunately the new sequencer is slowing dramatically my workflow due to its new awful graphics!

Now I guess if youre working on a desktop with a big or dual monitor probably you dont facing this problem, but even with large monitors I still think the new sequencer is very badly designed!

Just a disappointed customer!

[modilad]

One word for Reason 4 sequencer, NIGHTMARE!!!!

[Bballer0905]

i love the sequencer. idk why people don't like it.

[kontrol1255]

I was a huge fun or Reason since version 1 but the sequencer in version 4 forced me to change my point of view.

Its so dreary and tedious that i dont use Reason frequently anymore.

In fact the sequencer in version 4 forced me to look out for other music applications.

[pradmin]

We in Perfect Reflection also hate the 4.0 seq. For us the biggest problem is the auto group thing every time you record a track. And you need to double click to edit the track. tempo track and time signature is good. But that should have been there from 1.0. So we dont like the new seq. Listen to our songs=)

[chocoboc82]

If I had to choose between Reason4 and Reason3 sequencer I would've choose Reason3!

In version 4 you get all the shiny fancy graphics, but no efficiency at all!

pity!

[tasteden]

The only thing that irritates me in reason4 is the sequencer!!!

So hectic!!!!!!!

Give us back the older sequencer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HiddenOutsideTheBox]

it wasnt fkin broke why fix it! it was one of the reasons reason was so quick to work with! Now its slow and fkin annoyin

[omakayd]

I got an idea! if you don't like the sequencer why don't you just rewire to your favorite DAW and use it's sequencer... it's pretty easy to do if you know how to use MIDI. Have you ever seen a software company drop a huge change for a few crybabies? I haven't. please stop crying.

[fosiko123]

i just hate the reason 4 sequencer period! . and all this MIDI graphics stuff is just plain BS. As somebody with database prpgraming exp. i still find this sucker hard to use. I'm dumping this sucker for Live 7 and pro tools ,if i need to use the Thor i will rewire it to pro tools

[mparish11]

It's really hard to believe that the new sequencer is worse than previous.

I've been using more than a year R4 and finally I decided to go back to R3 only because of the ease of use of older sequencer.

This must be the worsed update in music software ever!!!

FRUSTRATED!!!

[sonitob]

Plus 1!

R3 sequencer was 100% straightforward and wasn't interrupting your inspiration.

Indeed the new sequencer in R4 has more weapons but it seems that fancy graphics took over the essence of sequencing:-(

[unclelez]

If ur on a bus with ur laptop it can get frustrating. They put more focus on MIDI automation (which is cool in one way) but it seems more difficult to create simple concept tracks with the mouse. I'm only new to this so I don't fully understand it yet but lets hope it gets better.

[monchristo]

Many users loved R4 sequencer but a vast amount of users miss the simple ergonomics of older sequencer!

Im one of them. Every now and then I miss the ease of use of R3 sequencer!

Basically the main problem is the new graphic user interface. The design is not so efficient!

Im sure propellerheads will revamp it in next update!

[cargo883]

The ease of use and simplicity of Reason 3 sequencer has been downgraded in Reason 4 due to fancy but not so workable graphics.

If you check the official Propellerheads site the dissatisfaction for Reason 4 sequencer is quite enormous!

[JayWerx]

No shit, vector automation isnt knew in general,but new in reason.Iv used vector in protools for yrs.Now quite crying like bitches and make music.Reason4 is killing reason 3

[borlando28]

Yeah enough with vector automation shhit, its not a new thing on music applications and not a big deal!!!!!

Bottom line is that Reason's 4 sequencer is worse from Reason's 3!!!!!

I think Propellerhead's need a better graphic design team and pay greater attention when redesigning an existing device or sequencer!!!

[JayWerx]

And the vector point automation is crazy.The shit looks to grid...I love it.

[waynegacy666]

It's not a new thing the vector automation, the Fl Studio includes it, and Fl Studio is shitty hahaha

[JayWerx]

New sequencer is good..I didnt really like the old one personally.This one looks "cooler" too.Shut up and make music.

[wordupc]

Although I really love R4 I'm so fed up with its new sequencer!!!!!!!!!!

when working with projects who got many midi tracks, I'm constantly missing the simplicity of R3 sequencer!

Propellerhead's should provide a better design of sequencer in next version!!!!!

[nononcko]

Reasons 4 sequencer is sooooooo hectic!!!

Its my only criticism for R4 but its big one! New sequencer is really holding down my inspiration!

[clubby9806]

grrr... i want reason4 so freaken bad but i dont have $400 sitting around :(

[Bhodisatvas]

reason 4 is amazing but the sequencer is and has always sucked..I like the automation function and the fact that you can now automate inside a combinator but I always think ahead and export audio to cubase, much better sequencer.

[marrakecho]

I believe that Reason is one of the best music applications in music market today! But its sequencer was always a weak point!

Unbelievably in version 4 the sequencer is worse and its the main reason that I'm still using version 3.

Frustrating!

[Crazy84Productions]

Yall Complain Too Much........Reason 4.0 New Sequencer Has More Of A realistic Human Feel Too It.........

[chocoboc82]

I see what you mean!

Although R4 sequencer has some very good upgrades (time signature-transport track)the design is disappointing because of the fat graphics.

Also it demands more clicks to do the same job as you did in previous versions, like adding a clip to write notes.

[mrmister185]

God damn it! Who have designed the new sequencer in reason 4? Its so awful and hard to work with it!

I have 2 computers with R4 and R3 and although I'm working for over 8 months with R4

I still find myself working easier and faster with R3 only because of its simpler, cleaner and not frustrating sequencer!

After reading the comments below I saw that I'm not the only one dissapointed user here!

R4 sequencer needs a SIGNIFICANT REVAMP!

[inndoughmain]

and for the record the older version sequencer sucked to. thats just my opinion.

[inndoughmain]

i hate the reason sequencer but love the sound i host reason with fruity loops because fls sequencer and arranger is much easier to use plus you can use vsts and other plugins along with reason, i love that setup, its really flexable.

[cargo883]

Its still hard to believe the bad design of new sequencer in Reason 4!

Its so horrible! God knows what was going on when they were redesign it!

So clumsy and fat graphics on the arrangement window! Very frustrating!

[happychildren84]

Its pity that theyve ruined the sequencer, the arrangement view is very messy now.

[skylerstupid]

yeah, it's true Reason's sequencer is a disaster

as a solution i run Reason in slave Rewire mode, and do my sequencing in Ableton live 7

[algorithm8]

Reason 4 is great!!! But sequencer is huge disaster I have to admit that!!!

In reason 2 and 3 the sequecer was more straightforward and cleaner!

I'm sure in the next version they will make it better!!!

I also love Thor!!!!!!!!

[styloo83]

many users (including me) dont like to work with sequencer detached! its by far better to work with the devices upon sequencer.

but the new sequencer phucked up everything! need a re-design urgently!

fully dissatisfied!!!!!!!!!!!!

[styloo83]

I really cant find words to describe my negativity for the new sequencer of Reason! What a nightmare!

Its hard to believe that they've re-designed it so badly!

Looks messy and kills the work flow!

DISAPPOINTED!

[kitsune2222]

To all the complainers about the arrange window, you know its detachable right? It gets even bigger than it was before.

[Mystinho]

qantize during recording good!

[majortom1982]

I thought that only me had problems with the sequencer of Reason 4 but after reading the posts here i realize that many people are dissatisfied with the new update!

Obviously the new sequencer its hectic with fat graphics and limited view for arranging!!!

so disappointing!!!

Hopefully they'll give us the option to choose between the old and new sequencer in next update.

And yes, as already mentioned below remember to try the demo before buy it and cry!!!

[thaprecepta]

is it possible to run reason 3 and 4 on the same computer? i wanna use the thor but not the sequencer. i mainly sample music and i use thor/subtractor for basslines. is it possibly to rewire both versions of 3 and 4 (if possible to run simulataneously) into cubase? thanks

[hulk235]

I agree with posters here, Reason's 4 sequencer is a disaster!!!

I wish they have kept the functionality and simplicity of Reason 3!

I really wish in next update to give us the choice to choose between old sequencer and new!

As already have mentioned here, definitely try the demo before you buy the update to avoid disappointment!

[electribe9]

Reason's 4 and new sequencer it feels and looks very wrong!!!

GUI is too bulky!!!!!!!!

I'm hugely disappointed by the new sequencer and i regret that I've updated!!!

Be sure to try out the demo before you update!!!

[sapht]

I agree, it is bulky. But Thor you don't want to be without. I guess the best idea is to Rewire Reason into some cooler sequencer, perhaps the one in Logic. Not that I've actually used it seriously, I still can't cope with anything else than Reason.

[sonicman1001]

The new sequencer, its so wrongly designed! The device icons are too big! The arrangement window is too small!

I'm strongly disappointed with this update! I totally hate it!!!

Redesign it again or give us the choice to go back to reason 3 sequencer!

THIS IS URGENT!!!

[sketchsi]

reason 4 rules.reason 3 hasnt got thor,stupid bastads

[Meteotrance]

There is just one point that reason cannot resolve, there is no Step by Step or feet by feet enter note like match in cubase, the matrix is gaz work but the RPG 8 is fine they just need chord arpegio like my roland gear and step by step match enter note to made reason cool, and also a recording device for short sample and using vocoder in real time.

[operatordx7]

I hate the new sequencer, its so wrongly designed! The device icons are too big! The arrangement window is too small!

I'm strongly disappointed with this update!

Please redesign it again or give us the choice to go back to reason 3 sequencer!

THIS IS URGENT!!!

[spacemanvector32]

I love Reason sounds. I hate the sequencer. Sure it has some updates rocketing it forward into 2001 (change colors and automation lanes are you kidding??). Ableton, Protools, other industry standards, do you have to stop the song, to copy/paste, to arrange? No. Why? It's a creative flow buzz kill for pros and novice users. Reason does not feel it's required to audition transitions or swap parts IN REAL TIME. How about right click>duplicate, like every other sequencer worth a dime? Nope, sorry.

[pendarn84]

wow about just drag and drop? Work fine while playing.

[spacemanvector32]

Of course, but quick cut, copy, paste, duplicatation, is must for me, without stopping the song, or dragging and dropping a marker all the time. I don't mean to bash Reason, it has a universe to offer any producer/songwriter, but it is frustrating and klutsy compared to most other sequencers in this way. I just wrote some great reason loops, resonisms and all. Just seems like a relatively small function to build in to me, that would vastly improve workflow, but I'm not a developer.

[TheGrizzLab]

LOL I agree, and I like the way you put it. It really is a flow buzz kill. The ppl that design Reason don't take into consideration those kinds of things. They're too focused on improving the ability to make an entire beat without ever having to even listen to it. The speaker in this video even says it himself at 1:20 "What you see is what you hear..."

[spacemanvector32]

Exactly! The short comings stand out when you are using Ableton Live/Protools. Rewired together they are extremely powerful, but I still trip switching from the "anything is possible with a click" world of others to Reason. I have been a reason user for 7 years, backwards wack, never get used to it. If this is an attempt to be unique, give it up fellaz. I love the rack, screwing with the signal flow, great! Reason synths are a cut way above, but sequencer "mouse click" work flow is a disaster.

[KingGreen12]

i loved reason up until version 4, its so frustrating to use

[mouimen]

omg thats cool :| what bass u used in the first song and that tik tik lol

[mabuse1]

reason 4 sequencer is a total disaster!!!

the new sequencer its tinier, so frustrating and disappointing that forces you to go back to version 3.

propellerheads tried to mimic various other pro sequencers with no success at this point!

the only thing reason was needing was vst support and audio in.

i cant believe that i became a reason hater after version 4!

i totally recommend to try out the demo version before you waste your money with this update!!

time to explore some new applications!

[kitsune2222]

You´re wrong. The sequencer needed a lift. It was too adapted to fit amateur musicians. If you need to change something in the sequencer just make the window bigger, you can do the same in the edit key window. The new vectorbased automation is a bless. And the tool window is very useful. Just record something, and a few clicks in the tool window makes the recording perfect. And if Propellerheads add Vst and audio support, the program would not be as low on the CPU. It´s adapted to laptop pc´s.

[mabuse1]

are you for real???

just because you're messing for fun with reason doesnt mean that this update is a must!

the new sequencer forced me to go back to version 3.

it demands much more clicks to edit and its very misleading to make a arrangement!

i work with it more than 2 months and decide to get back to 3.

so dont try to patronize me that V4 is good with amateur and vector based bul.shit!

i've tried and i couldnt focus to write music!

[kitsune2222]

Well its strange that you find it harder to create music. I know its gotten a while to getting used too.

Im working much faster in R4. I also work in cubase 4 and Im getting tired of the sequencer there. I want it to be as smooth as with R4.

I said that R4 is less amateur friendly not vice versa.

[ggboot]

I totally agree. I HATE Reason 4.0. The clips make it IMPOSSIBLE to complete a song without a headache. I can never get it to work the way that I want. I made a HUGE mistake when I upgraded. I've been working with pro audio software for over 10 years now and this is my biggest disappointment yet. The only thing that I like about the upgrade is that it now includes a pre-click button as well as a click button. I'm going to reinstall Reason 3.0.

[SEAL07]

this video moves way too fast, I'll be better trying to learn it on my own.

[rtiztic]

plus i can expand my cubase by buying effects,soundvsti,and whatever to turn it into my own program,and listen to this dude,how you gonne diss hardware keyboards like triton & motiff when most reason users have the motiff bank?but its allright,i know enough dope hiphop heads in reason,what i mean is ,,and listen close,i wanne turn a program into my own porgram(setup)with my hardware soft plugins etcetc,you wouldent buy fl studio and use the stocksounds right?thats what i mean,

[rtiztic]

that cool timbo uses vsti,s but reason doest support vsti,s ,lol,

[rtiztic]

trust me dude!!most reason users sounds the same!10000000 users all have same sounds same effects!!but its cool though with sampling yuo always make original music(lmfao @ me saying sampling is original when its allready done!)but most know what i mean!i use cubase and a triton,works fine!live audio!like if you dont combine hardware with soft=you sounding like anyother like reason usrs,but i dont hate!

[Captnuendo]

dude....thats ignorant!!!!! you use a triton.. that piece of shit hardware is whored!! Im no hating on you

you have reason users.....many many users

then you have the "keyboard beat peoplE" Triton.motif.fantom... what about you people// you guys got the same sounds... i heard the same crap outta those keyboards. when it boils down to it its about skills.. *i believe you do have skills.. but dont knock down on someone cuz they solely use reason... its ignorant.. timbo uses vst's from meko

[rtiztic]

korg titon is used by manymany people in the music industry,plus a korg titon is way more better then reason(for me then ay) first of all reaosn is 1 soft wich you have to do all in,(plus100000 other users got same sounds plus effects,i get ya point,but ti still wouldent fuck with a program like reason,hardware always comes above software!every one know,s that,reaosn costs 400 bucks, a triton starts like at 1500

[Captnuendo]

ok i agree with you on that note. if you got cake OBVIOUSLY cop the hardware. but im talking about skills and IMHO reason is hot. I respect your opinion.

[rtiztic]

treu every one there own program,im myself a huge cubase user aswell,sinds i saw the new sequencer and design i bought myself a version 4,,but ive noticed the dr rex cant reverse ,is that a option in the other sampler reason has?

[Captnuendo]

ok so what do you use?

[rtiztic]

i use ,a korg triton,cubase sx,(wich is my hart of the studio)but i own a legal version of fl 7 and reason 4 too,so im doing sum stuff init from time to time,both are very easy to use,but i like the cubase sx with intakt /kontakt as sampler,battery as drum plugin,and my triton for the sounds,intakt has somany options,if you google dr dre beats on google you see him work with that^^ only he uses as host pro tools,but intakt has somuch sampling options,

[pinkfloyded]

uhm... bullshit. that means you sound the same like the other 10000000 triton users. it's how you use it peabrain. be it hardware or soft.

[rtiztic]

lol@ a word like pea brain,did i say i use the triton only?nah dickhead,i said i use a triton and cubase,(wich i can expand)plus what i said is reason you cant expand with effects or vsti,s or record live audio init,so try again ..i dont like reaosn cause i cant record preformances from my hardware str8 into it,so know what you comment man,you sounded really retarted

[OyezstrakerHoofdrc]

those 1000000 users wont make a dint in the music industry then will they ;P . if you use the setings properly and design ur own sounds then u wont sound the same as everyone, PLUS REFILLS

Just one question how can i import Audio files into Reason 4 without buying Re-Cycle???? Thanks sam

[spacemanvector32]

Can't dude, gotta put up and get recycle. It's worth it though, running audio samples through reason FX is shweet. I have bass loops/vocal parts that i played/recorded and imported that took on a new dimension in reason. Once you build up a library of your own stuff, it starts getting interesting. Rock on.

[judgedamage]

You can import audio into the NN-XT advanced sampler

[alejo2007184]

i know some people know this very well but, how do i record music with only my computer keybord, i just got reason and i cant wait

[skitch88]

yes but can you use VST effects?

[ligterror]

What is a good controller for reason?

[studiologos]

I own the "Korg Kontrol 49"...Its great

[abury805]

m-audio oxygen8 will do, and its portable if you ever do any live midi shit.

[Undercoverangel24]

I just use a basic M-Audio 49e mate

[bw120205]

With Reason's sequencer are you able to input midi note data like in Garageband? I suck at keyboard but it doesn't matter if you can just input the notes manually...it doesn't seem like you can do that which seems completely absurd to me since Reason is about 5,000 times better than Garageband.

[geezahjob]

You can input notes manually. Any pitch, duration & velocity, and they don't have to be quantized.

[dusteroo]

so I guess this advance in Reason technology makes Reason3.0 obsolete, right?

I suppose R3 files and settings will survive the upgrade to R4, right?

[BcRash89]

Yes you're right

only thing that is bothering me

is that There is no line tool anymore like in R3 but still R4 kicks ass compared to three once you get used to the changes in the sequencer

I make all my beats with R4 as can be seen on my page but it even is more powerfull with rewire!:D

[abury805]

what do you prefer to rewire to, ableton?

[BcRash89]

Well I tried Ableton for a lil while its nice but I hate the audio clips and unnescesary hussle So I use FL studio and Reason 4.0 together, I'll up an video soon then you'll know what I mean

[OyezstrakerHoofdrc]

there is a line tool . you keep ur finger on shift, when drawing ;)

[mrlle2005]

massive improvement in the sequencer!

[PADDERSGEEZER]

how do u get the pattern from the THOR & RPG-8 to track????????? plz help

[n0m1c]

As someone who started out with ReBirth and Reason 1.0, this new sequencer is really rockin' my world. Little bit of a learning curve, but some much-needed improvements!

[MaikUniversum]

it is awsome :D

[parkeyx]

reason 4 is the dogs bollocks!

thor wired with the rpg8 machine.just kicks arse!

[stormflood]

Finally they've sorted out what was the Achilles heel of Reason.

[KiLTRO56]

[internalquest]
