Tutorial - Making a Hard Hitting Dance Beat in Reason

[mrkeyboard1994]

..what program did you use??

[paule3d]

@mrkeyboard1994 RTFT!

[paule3d]

To you stupid ***** asking what software he is using: Read the fucking title!

[luckyluchtl]

amazing.. u r a shit load of help lol.. seriously u teach me stuff i never thought i could do lol. thanks again

[Hazehill]

Once again a nice tutorial! Thanks man, I find your tutorials really handy and easy to follow. You usually do it but could you mention the names of the stock sounds you use during your vids. I can usually find them on my own but I like to have your tutorials playing while Im using Reason rather than have to keep stopping and switching between applications. The pacing of your vids is spot on!

[vinel22]

by the way thx 4 the video helped out :), just wondering do u use the same plug ins as this to create all your drum beats? are there other ways of doing this or is this the preferd way by most people?

[aryel123]

i think the reverb u have added has simply made your sound very muddy and unclear.. i would put it via aux on a different channel to control it more.. just a thought

[ppingpoong]

sweet tutorial dude! helped me heaps with understanding how to get those crisp beat

[darkhoukyraptor]

OMG UR VID WOZ TEH

COOL! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !eonooneoneoneoneoneoneoneoneo­neoneoneoneoneoneoneone

[KingzBabe]

[rawrgrr4298]

You're from the Midlands?!

I lived there for like 10 years >_>

I'm assuming you live in Birmingham or somewhere of the kind. I lived in Corby, Northamptonshire ;D

Just sayin'... :3

[XxGaryGorexX]

How did you put in those sound effects ? i just got this program and im learning to do techno/trance/hard style and im not having any luck

[Noivad]

I've been looking for better sounds for drums, and I think this solves my problem.

[vanzahn]

I was always under the assumption that i was relatively intelligent until i started using Reason and now i think my IQ dropped about a hundred points. I can't get fuck all out of it. A zillion knobs and pots and no clue as to what does what. I'll stick to rubik cubes. Jeez. :(

[vanzahn]

Reason = one word to me....HEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!

[geebanga]

ur a champ bro well done n cheers.

[KemorieBellz]

U sound soo hotttt

[xandytsx]

THANKS!!! :D

[savetheboobies]

the beat is clipping, is there a particular reason for this?

[Funmichi]

yes too load

[richskin20]

whats is the programming is using ?

[savetheboobies]

proppellorheads reason 4.0

[numbers54321]

really great stuff keep up the good work

[TheBassHeavy]

Great videos. I have learnt so much about using EQ from you!

[panizzle]

how do you automate redrum when you put it in combinator.

[Rane909]

you just simply right click and create a sequencer trac for it, you can have seperate sequencer track lanes for any and everything in a combined patch like a combinator

[scottspall]

thanks dude its the only thing i struggle with it normally takes me like an hour to find a nice sounding drum beat lol :0

[filmjunkie011]

I hear that!

[jimmyc428]

woooo

[GyuJazz]

The only things I disagree on the video are the use of EQ and reverb.

First of all, many professionals say it's better to CUT than BOOST with the EQ. It's easier to use compression/limiting after cutting, because you've got more room in it. Of course this depends on what kind of sounds you're looking for.

The reverb takes quite a bit of room from the final mix and in worst case scenario makes the sound very cloudy. I'd use the reverb either through AUX, which requires extra mixers.

[GyuJazz]

This makes it easier to control the reverb. Or if you turn the rack around, you can see all the sample channels on ReDrum have output ports. By choosing the certain channels, like hihats, and combining all the drum channels by using Spider, you can control the individual channels. And there's also to remember that music genre also affects the use of reverb. For example, Happy Hardcore and Makina might not need so much reverb because of the fast tempo.

[wwwboyinabandcom]

I'd definately agree with the reverb useage, I've definately learned a lot since posting this video!

Regarding EQ boost I think it can give quite a different sound boosting instead of cutting, or rather I find it easier and quicker to boost one sound than to cut two either side of it, with much the same result (so long as you control the volume it doesn't really matter! :D)

Cheers for the comment!

[elcr3ad0r]

gracias hermano no saves cuanto me a valido tu infomacion tio eres un puto crak gracias tio... eres un makina.. saludis men.. ;)))

[krystiandobkowski]

Nice beat :D

[dj15060]

cheers

[JudygraFF]

The Beat is faster in ur video. How do u speed it up. When i select 1/16T is too fast and on 1/16 too slow. What can i do

[asscockballtits92]

how do you up the speed on the beat?

[nicholasbowenmusic]

you are a beast.

[razvanab29]

TAKE DA COCK OUT OF UR MOUNTH FFS

[Perzika]

Fuck you dumb faggot this guy is fucking awsome, take the cock out of your ass you fucking little bitch, this guy is trying to help and this is how you thank him ! fucking idiot!

[Djpremiume]

lol. I've watch all of your tutorials. You make it look so easy xD I almost started wondering "How come I couldn't figure that out..." Great vids mate

[twistedtunes]

much to simple

[11islouderthan10]

Hey, I thought this video was great, but what if you would like to make a drum pattern that's longer than just four beats? Say a two measure beat or even a four measure drum beat?

[Frambusjt]

in ReDrum you can change the amount of steps (16 by default), and you can tell ReDrum how long one step should last (1/16th by default). So say you want a four measure beat, just change the amount of steps to 64, and you have a four measure beat :) Or ofcourse you could just make four seperate measures and paste them together. I hope this helped you out, sorry for my bad english :P

[itsnatewebb]

very nice video i haven't tried those effects yet! love it!

[aria1919]

tnx man help me alot all the best

[sniggs88]

exellent vid mate cum on leaps and bounds since watching it

[minimoggi]

cheers man, much appreciated :)

[VXMassive]

Cheers mate, nice one, ive made a load of melodys and bits of tracks, but equalising and getting the beat to sound crisp was what was holding me back so cheers mate

[rubberhead2005]

@4.05....

Instead of programming both channels, press

Tab to flip the rack and connect a CV wire from

redrum channel 1's gate out, to channel 2's gate in,

now any notes played in track 1 will trigger

track 2 as well, usefull for saving time

[rubberhead2005]

you might argue that programming 4 notes take no time at all, but if you are workinh on multiple patterns, some more complicated, then it is worth it. Also you can experiment with ghost notes on track 2, or if you put notes in track 2 on the 4 beats you can achieve some nice volume effects not normally possiblle with the 3 default values.

[slimfloli]

Simple and Great! Awesome!

[everestmindz]

Very coolio. Thanks.

[Psilolycinen]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooo
