Create The "Benny Benassi Synth" On Reason! (Tutorial 1)

[TechProVids]

Hey man great tutorial I was just wonderin if you know the answer to this problem I have it might sound like im a bit of a noob, but when ever I create a instrument such as a thor or subtractor it allways loads a random patch and not the init patch. How do i get it back to the init patch. Thanks.

@TechProVids, try reading the uploaders comments at the top of the page

[stubalch7]

hey man you should make a tutorial for an avicii style synth, like in his rapture remix, or drowning remix. love your videos though man!

[KyleKJune]

I understand how to make the sounds but how do I play it on the keyboard like you did? Like put it all together like you have it at the beginning of your video.

[LucaSantos16]

You should use slide effect.

[kinglynx]

whats 4ms lookahead for?

[Famousboi7651]

I have a question. Do you know how to make a legit benny benassi bass drum hit?

[dahDougieBoy]

@Famousboi7651 legit bass hit ? just sample one of his records or buy some samples from vengeance sound. Most probably he's doing one of those two himself :-P

[m10690d]

i use reason 5 too!

[m10690d]

man hwo did you get that windown o nthe right hand side with the level of your speaking n all?? please :)

[m10690d]

NEVER LEAVE REASON master it ;)

[m10690d]

@greggzccfclfc here man use 3 vocoders an trow them to 32 shud be a low,mid an hi end peace! checkout my stuff everyone

[djtoolhead]

you crack me up... you call all the controls in reason by their literal label.. you call the parameter settings params, when you initialize a patch you call it the init patch, etc. not critisizing it's just kinda funny..great tutorials though

[actsmurderer]

@djtoolhead my fave was when he said "turn down the F resolution" and then turned down the frequency resonance... teeheehee... reason is a toy...

[emlg]

Very Good men I never thought that that poly thingy can make this kind of stuff thnx men !!!

[spraalle]

LOVE UR SYNTH TUTORIALS, THX ;)

[TheVrag]

Ty for the tutorial. Check out my channel for 2 songs i made in reason if you like house/electro/dance and this benassi bass line .

[TheVrag]

wow that was very nice. thank you. Check out my first reason 4.0 song it also has an awesome bass line (at least i think it is ) :

watch?v=cOL2yMFUL-w

[REDJETUK]

could u probably do it in FL Studio 9 - if u have it?

[hendrixforever92]

@greggzccfclfc it can also be called a "high-pass filter" 

[9393andersson]

is reason like fl studio?

[Hightower2804TP]

@9393andersson

You can't compare

[spikekillamiller]

BOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[wusis]

very helpful tutorial.

thank you very much for this.

[Sugarboxproductions]

Lmao my keys just fell of the sub woofer XD

[jenovaprodigal]

@greggzccfclfc it's done by changing the cutoff in the filter. . .choose HPF (high pass filter) or BPF (bypass filter) to achieve this effect.

[lp2dk]

Excellent tutorial! I just have one question:

I am a newbie in Reason. How do you save this whole patch (synth+effects). I mean, when I start a new song and wanna try this synth, do I have to go through this all again or is there a way to save the whole chain and load it afterwards?

Thanks!

[lp2dk]

@lp2dk alright I found the answer. You have to put the whole into a combinator and save as a combi patch.

Am I right?

[biodisater12]

how do you save the sound as a synth im new to this

like in your other video you had the sound and all its effects saved under benny bensassi bass synth2 or something like tht

hope i made sense haha

[TechFo]

i did everything but its not producing any sound. what may have i done? or not done

[jaykeyboy101]

I think your videos are great :)

I would love to hear a tutorial for the main synth in perfect exceeder xD

[NickDenningMusic]

yo your reason tutorials are the best on youtube.

[dirtypaper]

@NickDenningMusic, yeah i think so too. I'm using reason since V2.0 came out, so i'm pretty familiar with the program. But re-create sounds like Dj Luckydate does is just incredible. Plus, he has a nice clear voice and is not rambling like some guy's do in Tutorials. Oh and by the way,now Lucky date teaches us how to create sounds and benny benassi went to mr oizo to learn some things. :-)

[Seiferzed]

why did you put the LFO1 to 25 since you are not using it in the subtractor ?

some kind of mind fucking ?

[MITCHELLPRODUCTIONS1]

yerp nailed it,

electro is banging and really good to produce no limitations really...Wanna collab Send me a msg any1

[NanzooMusic]

just a sideschain on the bass

4*

[djchrisgeo]

dude. Add a side chain compressor to your bass and kik and you've nailed it!

[Sugermen]

I see you use both Mod and filter envelopes but I do not see you turn up the amount on both envelopes.If you do not turn up the amount

it should not chance the sound in any way because the amount is set at zero.

Did I miss something or did you just over look it

when making the video

[0121SNIPERPRODUCTION]

exactly lol :S i just used the video as a startin point to figure it out myself really neways

[Seiferzed]

@Sugermen

yes it doesnt make sense why he turns stuff that dont affect the sound

for LFO1 and the amount of filter and mod

he is just smart assing around :D

motha focka confuses people that dont know much

[bizzer36]

@Seiferzed dont be rude man...at least he's imparting knowledge to million others..just appreciate and add whatever you can..

cheers from Himalaya!

[Seiferzed]

bullshit ! he is misleading people to do what is not necessary and showing himself as a smart ass , that is not knowledge that is fucking with peoples brains !

[bizzer36]

U mean the Diamond mine he showed to everyone had a few pieces of rock in it?U mean the Donuts he gave to us for free had a hole in them?Look at the bright side!I gotta a beautiful synth in my production arsenal all thanks to him!He's a giver.U might be better but ur heart is a small dark place with nothing to share with anyone!He's at least giving out his best to others.What have u ever given out to anyone?

[Seiferzed]

dude wtf !?

he is bullshittin around making everyone think that the sound needs all those moves and you go and defend him ..

ok whatever  go suck on him .....

[bizzer36]

Show us the real moves then dude!

Lets see what the real moves are like..!

[djsesh9]

That synth sounds pretty close. I might be off, but I think bennasi's synth was way more legato, and a bit less verb. That's nit-picking though, nicely done.

[bizzer36]

@djsesh9 hey mate is there any way to make this exact thing legato?

Much respect.

Bizzer

[123keks321]

the synth is really good, but you should push the speed up to 133 bpm, because that's the original tempo of Satisfaction. And use a better clap sample, because benny benassi uses reverb claps.

But except of those 2 points it sounds really really nice!!

Good work mate

[GustavssonMusic]

Actually, I believe the speed of Satisfaction is about 129.400 bpm

[Julesnathan]

Finally! A good reason tutorial on youtube!

[WisdomInHeresy]

wouldnt using 2 PEQs as u are be like using an MClass EQ with three bands?

[curiouscristine]

can u send me some of your synth patches for reason? would love all the synths you have .

thanks again

[DJSOUNDWAVE]

Pretty cool mang! Keep em coming!

[s0m3w0n2]

I think he also side chains the reverb to the actual synth so that theres only reverb when theres no synth.

[stygma88]

You mean the other way round, side chain the actual synth to the reverb, if you do it like this there won't be any reverb played when playing the actual synth.

[bizzer36]

@s0m3w0n2 mate how do u side chain? Sorry if i sound nooby but everybody asks that question at some point : )

[revabug]

compressour (:

[thaman667]

The benny benassi synth, sounds better in Fruity, sorry to say that :)

But its still nice ur trying to help ppl

Keep on Rocking!

[luckydatevideos]

you need to automate a transition in the filter 1's frequency...

hope this helps!

[dirtypaper]

@luckydatevideos and ofcourse Side Chain, it's really essential without it it sound very dull.

[kinglynx]

messin with the knobs THATS WHAT SHE SAID HAHAHA

[sharperguy]

From the preview at the start I can say you are missing two important things - The glide should take longer (eg notes should slide into eachother more), and you need to use sidechain compression to get the pumping sound

[luckydatevideos]

that is what is added in the second tutorial video provided, but thanks anyway!

[sharperguy]

Yeah I noticed - pretty cool

[bramjoosten]

Add Glide, Sidechain, and cutoff...

[KungFelix]

Nice tutorial! Can u make a video bout creating a nice house/electro drum loop in the Redrum computer? It would be very helpfull! Please

[TheHuntsmanSmasher]

Who's afraid of Detroit? by Claude vonstroke.

I've always wanted to know how to get that sound..

[ItsJamesOBrien]

Same here.

[TheHuntsmanSmasher]

Nice for the most part..

A couple of points that beginners watching this should know, these apply to this vid and the bodyrox one:

When you have the Sustain all the way up, the Decay parameter wont affect the sound, it has nowhere to decay to since the attack brings it to the max level and it stays there until the key is released. Also adjusting the PW in Thor has no effect on a Sawtooth, it only affects the Square wave.

Keep the vids coming man, how bout working on the lead from

[joanripoll]

when i open subtractor y have a bss guitar as defaul sound... what patch do u use ot create this beny benassi sound

[luckydatevideos]

go to the edit menu and choose initialize patch.

[m10690d]

@joanripoll initilize patch mate

[Pieperson277]

THANK YOU!!!

[HarryBlufc91]

Great Vid man

cracksmokingswindler what an idiot as if this guy is gonna waste his time finding how to do this on ablketon

[arreboe]

tanx!

[cracksmokingswindler]

can you explain how to do this with ableton live using operator? not all of the terms transfer over perfectly.

[luckydatevideos]

im sorry i am not familiar with ableton live.

[donotdisturbagain]

the terminology should be the same. its audio engineering

[afSilverstierna]

Hrm... I wouldn't do it like this. And the riff is not played right.

[hespora]

Wow. Had to stop watching at 1:40 coz my ears bled... not calling "Filter Frequency Mod Wheel Amount" by its full name at 1:22 i can live with, but then calling Filter *RESONANCE* "Eff resolution" just shows you have a blatant lack of understanding in regards to synthesizers.

[luckydatevideos]

I used the names that people would understand if they had no understanding of reason. the names I used were what they say on the screen, if i used the full names it would confuse people who are just starting to use reason. If you already know the full names then you probably don't need to watch this video, this is a tutorial for beginners, thanks for input!

[ODSTHelljumper]

...which makes it even worse! People that don't know much about Reason and watch that video in order to learn something will now think that resonance is called resolution! You're teaching wrong things.

And by the way: a mixer is not an equalizer.

But I have to say the video still was pretty informative and I think pretty much everyone appreciates the effort and time you put into this.

Please dont take my comment as personal offense ;)

[luckydatevideos]

You guys do bring up a good point. I will try to use the correct names from now on.

[ODSTHelljumper]

Thank you. I appreciate that you didn't just write stfu as most of the community would have :)

[luckydatevideos]

I positive criticism is very helpful. I would only write stfu to someone who is either rude or offensive.

[WillWallace88]

Dude.....i think you done it the right way.... Your werent teaching people about the individual aspects of a synth. You were teaching people how to get the BB sound and you done it the simplest way possible and it works. I appreciate what your doing man.

[luckydatevideos]

thanks man

[bungs85]

tnx 4 that kid some advice 4 u wen u use the subtractor create a rv7000 after tun it 2 dry and u will have 2 audio out puts insted of 1 hope this helps

[luckydatevideos]

great advice thanks!

[Madsickmike]

Cool! thanks man!

[Funmichi]

but the redrum patch doens't get loader in the bass breaks.

[luckydatevideos]

????

[Funmichi]

i tried to tell you that you forget the "morphing" of the drum in the brakes between the bass. it morphes louder(or sharper).

[luckydatevideos]

oh great point, i decided to leave that out because that would take a whole other video to explain, but yes you are right you need a compressor and a spider

[luckydatevideos]

I just uploaded a video explaining how to morph the bass in between the breaks in the drums... its the video response to this video, thanks for letting me know!

[waverider786]

awesome!

[kpiong]

cool! :D

[alofoke1809]

awsome vid! very easy to do! more vidz!!!!!!

[ellisclavane]

Tnx soo much

[SumMinioN]
