what if you don't have a keyboard like that? I tried clicking on the device down below to try to play my computer keyboard and nothing happened and I don't see a play button anywhere
Very, very Helpful. I only wish I started with this tutorial instead of jumping ahead to more complicated stuff. You rock man....I've seen both 1 and 2, did you happen to make any other tutorials...
@dylbyl1234 yeah bro your right, fruity loops is soooo much better than this......WTF is a matter with you, fruity loops may be better at making cheesy elevator music for grade schoolers, Reason is straight up professional and produces high quality work. Name one major producer who uses fruity loops....I can name about 10 that use reason
@CurteousMAximus it really doesnt matter what sequencer you use, the important thing is musical talent as well as audio enginering talent. if i remember right, Reason and Fruity Loops have both the same effect types, that differ only in layout and look, but not in performance. although i would agree with you in the end, since reason has the ReFills that really sound professional, such as the samples into the NN-XT or the Thor Polysonic
@CurteousMAximus deadmau5, porter robinson, spor/feed me... there are three of the greatest electronic music producers in the world that use FL. i dont use FL but most of these DAWs are all professional if you have the talent to back it up
Does anyone know how to work REDRUM in reason? I do not know how to make it start and stop at specific times. Like if I want REDRUM to kick in after 8 bars and then stop after 4 bars, how would one go about programming it to those starts and stops?
I don't like videos that have this comments waiting for approval. That means that the company only let the good comments through so there is no way of knowing if it is really good. Looks cool but i don't see the point when i already have a DAW and many many great synth.
why is fl bad. i have cubase and reason - and just got fl studio 9, with a TON full of vst's and i think its so simple to use, which makes it amazing - you can spend all day adding, vst sounds etc, where as reason i couldnt and cubase i cant fault as it can do pretty much what fl seems too, but i like fl studio to be honest - what you diddnt like! :D
Fl studio is TOO simple. at first, its a good thing, but youll outgrow FL studio very quickly. i mean not as quick as garage band (out-grew it in about a week) but in a couple months time, youll outgrow it unless you have a seriously creative mind. like ronald jenkees!
you can, although u can pick up mini midi usb keyboards at the minute for buttons, highly reccomended... although you can draw in notes without a keyboard, slightly harder but essential in the end for perfect note patterns
Whenever I see demos of reason the tracks being created are always really trancey, electro or hip hop. I want to use reason to produce more funky stuff, possibly some live sounding music. Is reason the software for me????????
It has samplers with some decent instrument samples included. You can also buy instrument sample packages from Prop-heads or others, but I would say it's generally geared more towards electronic music.
Also, you can't record vocals in Reason. You would have to have a separate recording device and then play the recorded track through one of it's samplers. It has no mic capabilities.
i wouldn't say no vocals . there are many ways u can use vocals in reason the way to go is record them in recycle then use the dr rex loop player or samplers to sequence them into reason .
Do we have a patch for a General MIDI and Power Kit. coz the reason 2.5 disk has no patch for that. timpani,french horn. etc. i think we have a refill i just cant get one
are you tone deaf? reason always has some sweet sounds..Especially Subtracktor, you just gotta tweak em a little. and then again you should always tweak your sounds.
man fuck reason as a standalon i use reason as a vst in fl studio its way better plus the head room is alot louder n u can 8use way more sounds too fl studio vst
Is this Reason he's showing the basic Reason, with no extra downloads or anything(Aside from the keyboard)? And do sounds to use actually come with Reason, or would I have to go download/buy new ones? Also, is it only strange techno, or does it have symphonic/orchestral/piano/ect, ect as well?
it's better to use another program to record voice and guitars. build your drums, basses, effects, etc, at reason, export to an audio file, open that audiofile in a new program such as cubase and the work your vocals and guitars on top of the reason created file.
You can use your computer keyboard by using "Bome's Mouse Keyboard". Just Google the quoted, download the software, and follow the instructions on how to get it set up.
I'm a Reason veteran and I need a vid that breaks down the Thor. I like making custom patches but the Thor is really intimidating(so many routings!!!)
Reason is great for making Porn music. I used to play around with the Dr Rex loops for that, it sounds sooo sleazy, the guitar loops that come with reason are so cheesy! :D Tip, get a half good guitar and an emulator like amplitube and record your own samples. Sorry, I digress... Porn music it is. Reason 4 looks really good from what i've seen. Can't wait to put it to good use.
Nice, I only wish you showed how to make original drums instead of a loop..I'm having trouble learning redrum!

Logic and REason shouldn't be compared. Reason is a live fx synth rack which logic can't imitate.
but that being said, you can make music solely using logic. i still would use reason to get some great sounds i can't get with logic.

For anyone who doubts Reason 4, Reason 4 can be used for any sort of music and anything you can think of is possible in it.
It is just that techno beats and baselines are the easiest types of sounds to make.
You can direct a whole symphony, but it may take some time and mastery.
