[A7XDan23]

[EvilBeatsmith]

helpful nice thx

[rallyboy88]

holy shite that song was too sikk! helpful vids aswell!!

[BumbaclartRarse]

A good tip i have recently found with Reason4, if you are using Cubase sx3 aswell, rewire all your reason plug ins to the Mixer on Cubase it sounds a lot better!

[qotsa1313]

it also sounds alot better with logic instead xD

[remccs16]

can you record voice into reason 4?

[crimsonBen]

no live recording ;)

[optronix001]

that will change very soon my friend..wait and see!!!!

[crimsonBen]

i just answered the question of Remccs16 :)

it would be cool when this was possible in the next few updates

[brapmusak08]

propllerheads record is coming out soon:) cant  wait

[tharmechris123]

yhh init , cubase and reason should colab haha

[joeml54]

[mattattack007]

[AutotuneGuy]

[samypunksk8]

thank you bro from colombia dj plats

[KuolemanMustaViikate]

Thanks for uploading this!

[RyanBm9]

Awesome! Great vid.

But i was wondering... how do you make that crazy cool effect at the end of your singing, where it stutters.

Do you just take a clip and place a bunch of it in a row? something like that?

[bazrin]

Dude, pay attention, lol.

[flambadsilly]

OPTRONIX OPTRONIX OPTRONIX

yo is there a forum or something that has a long list of different fun device chains ect to try out. there must be something like this somewhere. All i can find is tutorials on the basics. ANYTHING FUN ANYWHERE?????????

[Mleo43]

which subtractor sample are You using in the vid???

any sample i use sounds like shit

[Mleo43]

how do you inport your singing in???pls help!!!

[optronix001]

you will need to use another program like protools,cubase,ablton, or the like to record your vocal, then if you want to import them you can do so by using one of the samplers in reason, or you could in theory rex the files as well..hope this helps.

[Mleo43]

figured it out, thx anyway...GREAT VID!!!

you make me wanna learn more and more....I thought i knew a lot in reason but i was wrong...stil a lot to figure out....

[MrBrandonPeoples]

@Mleo43 you could also use Record, which is also made by Propeller head, it has an advanced sequencing page, and you can import your vocals or record them strait into the program. Record will maximize your Reason experience

[SteezeXL]

Try finding Antares Autotune 4 with Cool Edit if you want T Pain effect

[joeycarr333]

Lil wayne and T-pain etc use Auto Tune for how they sing, not VOCODER...

[DnbWilson]

dude keep making the music, sounds heavy!

[zamil25]

How did you record vocals in reason? I thought reason only deals with midi.

[mateodltw]

hey man, i believe you record the vocals via a different host program like protools or cubase. once you export the file, you then open it just like you would open any of the samples that come with all of the devices.. i.e. malstrom etc etc i use reason 3 though. but yeah i dont think the actual recording is done through reason

[optronix001]

well said!!!

[zeroboroz]

i can pretty much understand that the vocoder is a pretty nice tool for vocal manipulation but WHAT IM TRYIN 2 FIGURE OUT IS HOW DOES T-PAIN AND DAFT PUNK GET THEIR VOCODING QUALITY TO SOUND SO NICE!?!?!?!? LOLdorry for the caps but ive been tryin 2 get it 2 sound like that for a while but the only thing is that the filters..........how many do you need exactly 4-8.8 to 16?im confused man do you know how to get it like that

[kidlost8]

How can i upload a file or mp3 into Reason ?? does any one know ??

[Waata]

Awesome man, just awesome.

[oelwyn]

hey optronix, nice vid and vocoding. Could you use a matrix to mod the gate cv of the synth(modulator/carrier device, can't remember which is which) to get same the me-e-e-e-e effect?

[TheActiveDark]

at 1:34 - 1:35 where it says "me"

how did you make it repeat a bunch of times

ive been wondering how to do this forever

i use reason 4 btw.

[optronix001]

By extending the notes on the sub tractor MIDI track that the vocoder is fed, and by using automation control to turn the HOLD button on the Vocoder (ON). Hope this helps ya.

[TheActiveDark]

thanks ill try it out!

[thecza1]

how do you chop the keys like that? me-e-e-e-e like that?

[optronix001]

check your dry wet knob on the vocoder :/ maybe thats it?

[mouimen]

yes ur good thnx for this video what midi keyboard u use, i need 1 :s

[Martinus]

hey bro, i have a quick question? how do u open that bar with all the instruments/sounds, (located on the bottom left corner in ur video) i really dont know what it actually has inside but I know it has sounds.. lol ok well I have Reason 4.0 and dont know if I have it. I see u have windows so this should work on Xp.

[echomatt25]

bro your awesome!! def the best advice ever. everyone else just show off and don't teach u anything.

[optronix001]

thank you much!!

[Reloadgonlie]

what did u use 2 flim this

[optronix001]

camstudio

[debreczeni99]

Can anybody tell me how to separate the music's vocal from the music for other usages? Because I'd like to make a new from an original song.

[omarion111]

Say if you want to import a new sample, but use the vocoding effect. will you have to recreate the whole setup again or is there a way of just wiring the sample into setup that is already created? thanks in advance

[optronix001]

just load the sampler with a new sample..but keep in mind your keyboard line track in the vocoder will need to be changed to match the new sample..if you so choose

[beatcook]

use the spider audio splitter

Create with the mixer selected then wire it up how you want

[omarion111]

Great tutorial, Just wondering though how did you get your original voice (without the vocoder) to skip at the end of your phrase.

i have some lyrics that i just want to hold and skip, without using the vocoder

[optronix001]

I turned that part of the vocal into a REX file, and then repeated the "me" slice on time..thanks for whatching!

[omarion111]

thanks, i was always a fan of that effect, your tutorials are always a great help

[atrancestance]

dude

you rule the reason tutorials

The keyboard track is so fat (minus vocoder)

if this a full song you have for sale?

I would carry out those 2 notes forever! the passage gives me such a positive vibe and

makes me feel gansta!! at the same time

thanks for the inspiration!

[chessboxen]

I do gating effects almost the same way, pencil in the automation for the on and off mute button on mixer. Back in reason 2.0 you couldn't copy controller data so i had to pencil this in for all the tracks manually....Time consuming!!! Thx 4.0!

Another great tutorial!

[ODSTHelljumper]

that song is awesome. especially the bass patch in the beginning. it reminds me of die another day somehow...

[cacasculospedospises]

nice man!

[abelton2007]

optronix thanx a bunch mate. cant wait to try and put your tutorial into practise. im a big daft punk fan and i always wanted to know how to get that sound. your a star

[drumempo]

Thanx for this vid.

[DJHemlock]

I would LOVE to see a tutorial vid on the rex. It's a great instrument but I'd like to learn to use it to play home made loops ie: vocals etc...

Possibly even a tutorial of how to include vocals into songs. I'm having to mix everything down to a wave editor before I can add vocals at the moment.

[0Elijah0]

simply inspirational to see something of this quality broken down into something I understand!

[mrbrdo]

i second that, i love your videos.. i hope you make more for reason 4, i'll have it bookmarked and checking :)

[marcoNLD]

i just did some automation that i got from this clip.. VERY HELPFULL. however to get that transform sound i automated the MUTE button of a channel. I got a cleaner on/off sound by it for my purpose. yours sounds awesome though i just thought i'd give a different way to get to a transform sound if you need it insanely fast.

I gotta tell you.. your clips are the BOMB man, i have learned so much from you. so THX for that, keep them coming now reason 4 is out :p

[optronix001]

thanks for your support..stay tuned for more!!

[klowe007]

Oops...never mind I got my answer below.

[klowe007]

What device is the vocal track loaded into??

[propastitchazdotcom]

by any chance do you know, if i export everything from reason as individual loops, into acid pro and use that for my sequencer and to record vocals, does it loose its original sound quality when imported into acid??, especially vocoded stuff, and distorted drums from the scream 4. Im sure it does.....very annoying as i dont want to use reasons sequencer!!!!

[optronix001]

sound quality loss will depend on the compression that Acid uses..on audio, and if any time stretching will be involved as acid does this..You should be able to export and then import into acid without too much sound quality loss..let me know how you do..thanks for the question.

[propastitchazdotcom]

thanx for the reply, av bin doin this for a while it works ok, its just, when playin each track in acid it seems a bit,,, duller....if u know what i mean lol....not as crisp basically. but thanx for the advice

[Melbournewala]

may seem like a stupid question, but how did you import the vocal into reason? Or is it in rewire mode?

[optronix001]

not a stupid question..Each vocal in this track..is one long sample loaded into a sampler of your choice. I recorded the vocals using Sound Forge,while listening to my music on headphones..then I imported the saved .wav file into reasons basic sampler..easy as 1,2,3,4,5,6 ha! or so....

[RSimusic]

Hey - I just want to ask if it is possible to use the vocoder in real time? Thanks

[optronix001]

not that i know of..but other programs have vocoders that allow that.

[RSimusic]

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, Ive managed to get hold of a few but none so far are working like i hoped they would.

[esebarreto]

Theres a tool called Hammer from Peter Tools, so you can input an audio and process the audio inside reason!!

[neonelectro]

Ah!!!! So that's how you did it. Great to see how you created these songs I've been familiar with for some time. Fascinating.

[Hanaro1]

Yes, thank you for this vid!!

[frenchEpaul]

OMG !!! THX MAN !!!
