[helloEdwen]

[RecordnRtist]

Thanks James! Great video.

[JJTheBigDog]

great tip ... for total noobs. go make some dubstep now

[DadZo39]

very nice ! thanks :)

[0zmax]

There aren't no reason to use the power of automation. Draws a peferct Sinus wave is so hard. Thanks a lot :D. 

[Belgarath314]

amazing !

[TonyBtheEG]

This MAY HAVE MY DAY INCREDIBLE. It just may have.

[stealthbopper]

Another clever idea - thanks so much for sharing. I anticipate using this a lot. Excellent work!

[dazzlebaby69]

I love this. I just sent it to my friend.

[mcRioRemedy]

great tip number 34

[MotionMenace2]

Nice ! Thanks JB ! Gonna use this alot !!

[nljdj]

Where can I get this midi data? Is there a file where I can download these automation sines?

[PropellerheadSW]

@nljdj the download link is in the description for the video. :)

[nljdj]

@PropellerheadSW Wow perfect thanks so much.

[IAmT8X]

that is so generous its really good to give that shit away, not that you cant do it but what I would say is you may not experiment as much if you just copy those Automations, but still youre generically doing what 90% of DAW users do.

[outerbassjunkie]

I am so loving this educational series. You rock JB.

[RaphaAguirra]

Man, you're just awesome!!! I'm you fan!!

I'm a home producer working in Brazil with my band and you tweek our minds with each video of yours every week. Nice work, man! Congrats!!!!

And thank you!!

[IAmT8X]

@RaphaAguirra I bet you didnt pay for the software, Techno Brega...

[tintala]

I f I have Record/Reason 5 , do I need Ableton to mix or master?

[dronehymns]

@tintala No. You can mix and master in Reason/Record.

[IAmT8X]

@tintala yeh you need Ableton so you cn DJ.. :? all I know is Reason/record dont support VST but Reason/Record i think its going to be just Reason 6 will supposedly do that and you dont need Record on the side its all in one

[fantomplayer]

I can't get the link to work. All caps. all lower case. Copy the link direclty from the description above. Nothing seems to work. Help.

[proteron]

James, thanks! This is one of the most valuable so far. I really appreciate the downloadable archive!

[Dogboy73]

Fantastic. Good work, James ;-)

[praestantia1]

James Bernard I think you might be becoming my hero.

[KEEPITGULLY1]

I have tried to pull up the link and it said that its not found can you help with this

[PropellerheadSW]

@KEEPITGULLY1 capital letters in the link, for the win

[ManKidDudeBro]

Trippy lol

[POL242]

great ! as usual ! this wave of sliders is beautiful.

[gomachols]

this is a very interesting way to work. coming from ableton, i can't think of an equivalent really... is there a way to do this in ableton? to have this stretchable envelopes and save them in a took kit? thanks for any help!

[SCHPILKAS]

craziness!!!!

[77Karolis77]

WOW. Thanks for this amazing stuff. Hard work. Respect!

[jeremyellismusic]

Once again, you have flipped my wig off. I know this must have been an insane amount of work, so THANKS FOR SHARING! This is going right into my template song, forever more.

[robdrums69]

Hey James - perhaps you could hookup a Win 7 64bit OS with Reason 4 or 5 on it and Axiom Pro and show us how to get the hyperctontrol to work properly :)

I see there are a lot of people having this same issue in the m-audio forums ... the Reason Hypercontrol file doesn't work properly ...

[kinesiskrisis]

ha.!!!!!

legend what a great idea.god i can think of thousands of uses for this,im just pondering on what i can do with dnb reeces right now...

reason power!!!!!!!!!! lol

[mesaoneCCK]

excellent! thanks for the toolbox. How did you create the increasing/decreasing sine wave clips? Was everything here created inside Reason/Record? I would like to create my own.

[jamesbernardmusic]

@mesaoneCCK

Everything was created in Reason/Record and hand drawn in. The increasing/decreasing clips were created by copying a clip, changing snap to the next lowest value (1/2, 1/4. 18 etc.) using stretch clip to tempo to cut it in half, copy it again.. stretch clip to tempo in half and so on until you reach 1/64th on snap and copy that one twice. Easier to do than you think. Now.. created the sine wave clips from scratch?... not so easy.. that took a lot of time.

[mesaoneCCK]

@jamesbernardmusic wow. Thanks for the toolbox, then! Cubase has a tool to create sin wave automation, but it's not that functional -- you can't specify the frequency. I think it defaults to 5Hz/bar or something like that. Maybe propellerheads could add in more automation shapes in an update.

[Rhas08]

Thank you so much! :)

[InTheRedBlues]

Just when I thought I was all healed up....BOOM...my mind is blown again. Thanks, James!

[thedeed23]

making waves :)

love it James

thanks

[SommerEngineering]

Cool thing, thanks james.

[obd]

very nice, thanks james!

[srtounez]

hey i need help! how do i change midi outputs in Reason?? i have a digi 003 with a midi controller keyboard connected... en the 003 midi out to a Motif Es Rack and i need to "sample" som sounds from de rack to reason but cant find a way to tell reason to send midi out to the motif any help?

[TOMMYSTYLESPRODUCER]

This is not related but could you do a tutorial on how to bounce midi track to audio in record please.

[51d10u5]

@TOMMYSTYLESPRODUCER Are you talking about a midi sound in Record created from a synth..say...Thor?

[TOMMYSTYLESPRODUCER]

@51d10u5 yeah man but i got it sorted. never checked for it in the 'file' tab its was below export. happy days. much handier, cleans up a track if you have loads of automation. cheers anyway

[officialKirtan]

Wow totally expanded my ability to make my tracks even better.

Thanks!

[dmoates420]

Once again u prove that this program has no limits. Thanks again for sharing your personal creations for download, no other company interacts with their users and shares free knowledge and tools like u guys do. Bravo!

[ethericloopz]

@dmoates420 "no other company interacts with their users and shares free knowledge and tools like u guys do."

Was just about to say the same thing :]

[Rickysaur]

This is awesome, but couldn't you guys just add a curve tool aswell? :)

[51d10u5]

@Rickysaur "Curve Tool" Makes sense to me too lol

[portessa]

This is so amazingly useful! James Bernard, you are a genius! Thanks very much for this! :D

[JohnTooker]

Very cool. I might have to upgrade just so I don't have to do the work of creating them on my own.

Thanks for the great tips.

[mykldxn]

james this is awesome!

[Shemassault]

this is brilliant! I've always struggled with automation in Reason, not that it's difficult to record it or anything but changing values takes a lot of time and disrupts the workflow. Now that I have it - happy times ahead:)

[japcarjohn]

Thanks James as a new user to Reason this will help me loads!

[kittehjam]

this is brilliant james, it would be nice if props could add preset shapes to the toolbox (F8) in a future version of reason as trying to manually draw in more complex shapes can be a bit time consuming

[medude5]

Nice :)

You should include the link in the description box too

[PropellerheadSW]

@medude5 Thanks, added.

[916dpsmini]

Nice Stuff.

That mixer automation Looks cool.

[spacealder]

Clever stuff, thanks!

[Telekon5]

Oooo James... I love you....lol. This is hot stuff! Very useful indeed!

[tapeisrolling]

Great stuff James. I have my own file I've been building but it's all device based (specific rate values for delays, modulators etc) but I've never even thought about building something based on shapes.

This sort of thing always seemed like too much trouble to bother but I'll be definitely be using your automation clips from now on. Thanks.
