Propellerheads Reason 4 - ReGroove Mixer

[DJEDI296]

not sure why, or if i'm doing something wrong, but the regroove mixer always sounds like shit whenever i apply a groove...not sure waht i could be doing wrong...

[vinost]

Crazy program to make awesome instrunmentales

[trealiano]

thoe ultimately- u wonna start at a higher bit rate so u could realy hear what ya doing then - its all gonna be bounced down into a 16 bit sega format at 44.1k for cd & then maybe enternet which would be mp3 wich is gonna squash your sound sucking life out of it even more. so to everyone, record at a higher bit rate, use your ears, learn your favorite interfaface & just have some fu_kin fun. lol

[dewatsa]

Reason, Cubase and Fruity Loops are all very good but the ultimate is KOMPLETE 7

[wasabeeguy]

@dewatsa Komplete 7 and Logic Studio, my friend, are the best

[kevindd27]

every fl user has db glitch lmao

[kevindd27]

@lairdriver i know fl is a DAW like any other, its your personal choice to choose one, but imo, the reason why fl get used that much is because of the many plugins and vst's while they don't even know what a vst is ... i dont say i can remake every vst like for example in reason wich is possible if you know how to but i rather dont use someone's presets wich has been used by so many others... fl is great yes if you wanne be producing tracks without realy taking the effort to learn about it...

[manuelfea]

in the progressbar

[manuelfea]

it is in the progress bar by the reset butten

[alfonsomunoz35]

boring ZzzzzzzzZZzzzzzzzZZzzzzzzzzz

[Funmichi]

hallo, mein penis ist geschwollen, wo ist die salbe??

[050DVD]

bullshit

[markzillapage1]

yeah that's the only problem when tech comes out, the anoraks and geeks spend more time bitchin' about the tech and which is wack, rather than using it and producing great grooves...now prove me wrong! I'm into tryin Jazz and Bossa Nova's and Bebop out, wit licks and backbeats from DnB and Dub trax for fun ..laterz

[ROMANporno69]

@markzillapage1 - yeah great. you've outlined a recipe for complete shit. holla shitstreak - yeah boi!!!

[poshdread]

...you live in just the right place!

bet you cant wait to move to Loserville.

[darkitechture]

@ROMANporno69 If you were trying to keep from sounding like an uneducated idiot, you failed miserably.

[ROMANporno69]

@darkitechture - lmao! okay dickhead. thanks! holla back cuntloaf.

[KIKBAK1]

Nice!!!

[poshdread]

FL is a kids toy compared to Reason. Combine PropHeads Record and you got the bomb! (enabling audio recording/mastering at last) re wire Reason with Sonar 8 and you definately starving to death cos you aint leavin the room for nuthin! Reason. its an addiction.

[mrklp]

I use both FL and Reason extensively.

Reason has better built-in synths, apart from Syrtrus, but FL is considerably more versatile and complex than Reason.

Even the Propellerheads themselves will tell you they designed Reason primarily to used a plugin inside more complex DAW environments such as FL Studio.

[poshdread]

Respect what you say my friend but do the math.

How many real players out there use FL for music production... Now start counting the ones using Reason. You'll be an ol'man by the time you finish. The opertunity to create new sounds in Reason is pretty much limitless. With Reason all you need is imagination!

[brandonhalf]

@poshdread Amen. Too many late nights looking for "just one more part...one more turn...one more playback...one more......"

[poshdread]

Keep it up Brandon. Remember to eat occasionally and get out in the fresh air! :-)

[ROMANporno69]

@poshdread - shut up. quit stating the obvious. troll.

[fortgreeneprojects1]

Im happy with reason 4.0. I have created some unbelievable sounds that got my friends very impress. I love it and my next step is to learn how to play the piano. I love music. But Hip Hop is my thing. Peace

[dazamaru]

ok verdis...thanks...

im from the old school...we just play music....LOL I have a Yamaha MM8 and a Zoom HD8 Multitracker/Hard Drive.....

Will I be able to make jazz/ downtempo / trip hop/ ambient /experimental music with this equiptment and reason4?

thanks for your assistance.

[grandmadude]

Reason FTW Reason All The Way Baby.

[dazamaru]

ok...im not just making hip hop beats....

i wanna know can you do jazz and classical oriented music with reason?

can you create odd time signatures on reason like 7/4....13/8.....11/4....

not everyone wants to be a hip hop star...that is the problem im finding out with all this new software....its all in 4/4....LOL

[Verdismusic]

In reality, its made to do anything. Most demonstrations are set up to do it in 4/4 but for example, I just made a track in 3/4 last night and had no problem adjusting it to 3 beats to the measure as opposed to 4. Its not like garage band where you are given a bunch of loops in 4/4 and are forced to arrange them, you are given a piano roll so its easily possible to get whatever time signature you need.

[fortgreeneprojects1]

I'am a beginner of making hip hop beats. I just bought reason 4.0. The sounds on reason is crazy. It's like you have the instrument exactly in front of you. I like a lot that i look up youtube tutorial everyday to learn about reason 4.0. Im also even thinking of going to school to learn more. Peace

[IsHeHigh]

Check some of my tutorials if you're interested. I did a few on Thor and I've got more coming soon.

[trealiano]

Reason is the truth. when i first started i used fruity loops. i still have fl 1. i think they both are equaly compatible based on your skill & your ears. & oh yeah reason refills can be stored in fruity loops

[huggybear4sh]

which is better?

[CheckitOutYaw]

reason imo

[Gorgon665]

You know that FL Studios is on its 8 version now? It's faaaaaaaaaaaaaar beyond what it used to be. Rapes Reason in every single way.

[SirSedricMusic]

Man... you think so?

I think FL Studio is still behind (by a lot) when it comes to available, quality sounds.... but it's sequencer beats Reason, if you're into sequencing beats like that....

For live performance, non-standard looping, and versatility out-the-box... Reason still takes it in my book.

[Gorgon665]

when it come to production and song mixing, FL is way better than reason, and, you can use all reason sounds by using rewire, Reason is just a rack with sounds. Im not saying that it sounds bad, it has excelent grooves , loops and sounds, but it doesn't even support Vst, once you know what you can do with FL you won't regreat. FL 9 is out now.

[SirSedricMusic]

I use Logic Studio as my AU/ wrapped VST host and can use most VSTs that way. I just think Fruity Loops is mainly only effective for sequencing and standard looping. Plus the included sounds are garbage (imo)... To each their own though, a great producer will make shit hot even on the worst system.

[Gorgon665]

I agree with you, Logic is way better than FL, FL cannot compete with programs like pro tools, nuendo, or Logic, but when it comes to production, and setting ideas fast and easily, FL is great for that. Although it sucks in recording audio. Definetely better than Reason.

[IsHeHigh]

There are no options for recording audio into Reason, so yeah I guess FL could be considered better in only that sense... As far as sound production and synthesis goes, FL couldn't even dream of competing with Reason. I think the only reason FL is even popular is because of how easy it is to make loops and sequences....But it's still true, FL is a (limited) production suite, whereas Reason is more like a really advanced synth.... but Reason is so damn cool!

[trealiano]

@Gorgon665 i dont know man, as a professional audio engineer- i would say that in this software run a lot of them are doing what i call drive by rapings. lol, i have fl 9 & i have reasons 5 & i have cake walk sonar 8 & i still play with acid 6 & pro tools m audio 8. so, i guess that some what qualifys me to be able to speak on the subject. i've learned that its not so much on what youre using, it's 1. your ears, 2. if u know your interface, 3. are u into it? are u having fun BASICS

[ahabadong]

actually u dont need to create a new lane to change/assign regroove patterns as it can be done using automation control,,,..in this case.though, its very visual and academic,,, it just drives the point clearly

[felixjuhh1994]

demo?? or not

[LiamJayMuzik]

Hey not a problem :). It happens to me all the time though!

[LiamJayMuzik]

Actually my comment was a reply to someone who spoke of Reason as the only way to make music. I use FL, Reason, Logic, and Reason has slipped way behind the curve the last few years.

Again though, the "reply" function in youtube misposted my reply. Relax.

[naunbriones666]

exelente se entiende muy bien

[pedrowasabi]

that's a cool groove :D

[Enator1987]

I like it to it's not so bad at all.

But it feels like the best music-making game there is. And there's nothing to compare to so 5/5

[beetrobot]

hmmm it aint a game bro lol

[hihowareyou22]

hahah music making GAME!!

[Scholick]

id like to see you play it and post a response :) then come back and tell us how fun it was "playing" the game ;) excellent music production software ^^

[zakyzeek]

oh come now dont be a dick. hes just a noob. he doesnt understand whats happening around him. like in the matrix, his mind is not yet ready to be unplugged from his minds own world.

[Pikachux1000]

1 word, fruity loops

[alyomacd]

thats 2 words and reason is much much better!!!

[cialino00o00o]

really depends on ur skill level..alot of up and coming producers choose fruity loops cause its fairly user freindly...

[alyomacd]

this is very true but reason is far superior compared to fruity loops it may take longer to understand the basics but once you gain a little knowlage there's nothing you're imagination and that knowlage cannot do!!! fruity loops was a step i took before using reason and to be honest i wish id not bothered if only i had someone to guide me but i didnt so spent a year or so wasting my time with FL which didnt really teach me anything about lfo's, frequency's or mastering.

[cialino00o00o]

yeah im usen fl now and ive got reason on dload on utorrent so cant wait to check it out

[MickHarmeling]

not a wise thing to sa-hay :P

[alyomacd]

you can find my stuff on here.... where's yours?. i'll smoke me out of the water ey? i doubt that!!

[downsyndromekong]

I've been using FL Studio Professional XXL 8 and Reason 4, and bought them both (at a reasonable price through school.) I'd say though, that despite the simplicity of this particular video, that FL Studio is better for throwing together demos to record live later, while Reason is much better for sequencing electronic music with fully customizable sounds.

[datheat99]

you're right about skill level but thats tru because the up and coming producers are novices. noobs in the game. the sounds in reason are more realistic while FL is mainly synthetic sounds. The sounds in reason are far better and it was worth paying $400 for. and to conclude, alot of top producers use it.

[molinobeer]

u can use wav record files every time u want... n more, fl got far more automation possibilities than reason..

[kevindd27]

biggest BS i ever heard Fruitloops is for kiddies that dont wanna learn anything about musicmaking but just wanna be a dj or someguy that can create sounds with his pc@cialino00o00o

[FutureProducerUK]

It would actually help if you could see what the annotations said.

[davidharryprosser]

Add fmt=18 after the address URL and hit enter then it's a whole lot clearer!

[nikdo92]

ha haaaaa

[RandomentalTV]

whyyy dont they have a crackkkk...

Its fucking retarded they only give us 20 minutes and it takes like over an hour to produce a professional beat so basically all you can do is just play the projects they give you.

Reason has some really good sounds I just wish the demo wasn't so fucking crap.

And I don't want anyone responding telling me to go buy the product cause I don't have that kind of money.

[dynastywarrior101]

Go buy it you poor fucktard

[RandomentalTV]

I'd reply, but your account is closed LMFAO.

[51d10u5]

There is a crack...for the full product...! ..oops...did i jus say that..lol

[beetrobot]

thats how they make u buy it

it happened with me -.-

stupid demo made me spend 400 bucks

but it was entirely worth it

[Dawlphynn]

Buy if you must I WOULD TALK WITH THE PIRATE FIRST!!!

[HeckYeahOhio]

Can someone help me out? Im using reason 4. And i remember in reason 3 using the nn19 and importing WAV files into reason. I cant get it to work in Reason 4. When i use the nn19 and choose the wav file to open. it doesnt open...instead its like the pre set organ sound or something.

[mayoski79]

right click...initialize patch...then import your wav..(nn19)

[VirusX]

you can also use the NN-XT, expand it, right click on the left side, chose "Add Zone" then on the right side, right click on that bar, and chose "Browse Samples"

[VirusX]

you can also use the NN-XT, expand it, right click on the left side, chose "Add Zone" then on the right side, right click on that bar, and chose "Browse Samples"

[enzed76]

i think u gotta click on the blue folder at the top of the NN19, NOT the grey one next to the little screen.The grey one will only load Reason soundbanks

[DJwulfenhaus0607]

I've had reason 4 now for like 5 months and I still dont know how to use regroove

[Captnuendo]

regroove is the shit.. turns reason 4 grooves into sweet human, real, mpc 3000 feel.. which is 51% swing.. shit sounds fantastic!

[jamiefisher2006]

reason 4 is ace!!!! why would you want to use vst presets what every1 else uses. u have 2 mega synthersizers now in reason. thor and malstrom, if u cant make an original synth on there may be u shud start thinking about using an sound engineer who knows what hes doing.

[MeroBomboKaja]

what about real sound simulation? ...

[chrisn0va]

where the hell is the regroove mixer inside reason4??? I cant even find it...... someone help me out? is it not under the CREATE Menu?

[kreativsounds]

No it's not there ... If you look in the video, below in the left side (on the play, record, timing bar) you can see another button with an R on it! Just press it!

[yohanny31]

@chrisn0va is on the transport panel in the right corner it sees regroove mixer

[chaplin47]

i've been using reason for years. i love it but i'm so irritated by the inability to records analog signals such as vocals and guitar. also a few lame bugs in version 4 that piss me off. not enough room to get into them here

[shizueleven]

Yeah, Reason 4 let me down severely on that. I think there'll be so much criticism about it because REASON is basically trying to stay as an underdog next to big daddies like CUBASE and PROTOOLS.

[spacemanvector32]

Love it, hate it, use it, want to smash it. Nice sounds, still clutsy. Find one phat sounding normal snare out of the hundreds in drum expansion and stock kits? I like to arrange on the fly while the song is playing, not stop, copy, paste, play again, creative workflow killer. Sequencer start and stop points require edit every time to avoid note cut-off. Reason as a synth engine into Live 7, about it for me. Maybe it's my knowledge of reasonizms? I dunno. High hope for 4, let down again.

[astejsahi]

man, u got it spot on!

[oSKARSmhiP]

get the fuck out of here guy

[Utroll]

reason will be better when it will stop this 'dont touch my file' policy, it's quite a closed technology not really flexible.

[Utroll]

Still cannot add an simple audio file like a singer on your track nor export a midi file.

Dont even talk about VST or Vsti.

That's a game not a software. (Although synth are nice)

[lejaimlefunk]

Its quite simple - just get yourself a copy of recycle (£70) and download audacity (free) so you can chop audio out of tracks that are longer than 4-5mins that Recycle wont accept. Then save anything you chop up as a REX2 file. SIMPLE and still way cheaper than a decent version of Cubase/Logic!

[Utroll]

Way cheaper than Cubase/Logic/proT for sure

but what about ableton :)

Live just digest mp3, wav, nki, vst, vsti, even fruity or reason are fine under live slavery. (check tracks on 'reverbnation loturoot', those beat in live are so easy to do)

No attempt to say that it's a bad software, just that a few things could be improved.

Keep on testing lejaimlefunk and all the best.

[therealdcash]

datz cool, reason gettin better

[rawdney88]

actually i like what regroove can do to vocal samples i recorded of my girlfriend singing. it does wonders.

[jamiefisher2006]

arrrr no u defo dont

[Destrucwhore]

wass i supose to read that tiny writing. p.s. boring

[Dawlphynn]

What u don't read?

[skibeatz]

I use ableton with reasons 4 great combo

[rawdney88]

i got reason 4, this shit is bullshit, regroove is a waste of time. all it is usefull for is for drum variations which shouldn't be the bulk of any song, just little addons here and there, which can be accomplished with redrum by doing some tweeks but still, i'd rather use the nnxt drum kits and use my drum pad to just regroove my own shit, plus its funner that way.

[jamiefisher2006]

do u actually know what your talking about?

[nativeops]

yeah, the sounds that come with it are lame, the synths are okay though. and you can use your own samples. but definitely, Grooves are way over looked. Especially user created grooves. Most of my tracks are quantized to a real drummers groove. sounds way more believable.

[ghostlkp]

drums shouldn't be quantized at all... theres no way to quantize to a "real drummers groove"

[kitsune2222]

You are wrong. It depends entirely what you´re after. A techno beat must be quantized hard to get the robotic feeling, and realistic drumbeats is more likely to sound robotic if quantized to hard.

[ghostlkp]

well yea my bad since i do hip hop production i dont quantize but you are right some styles are different

[cryingindian]

I think you're right here that if its quantized it takes out the feel of it, BUT chances are if you have to go to reason to get a drum beat then you're not a drummer, or you're programming the beats by hand anyway instead of just playing them. Sometimes just quantizing the main beat notes helps alot. But yeh it can sound horrible if it isnt quantized

[BudgeBurnley]

Hmmm im not so sure about that, Techno and Tech House these days sound a lot less rigid with more human sounding rythmns (although the actual sounds used maybe still be electronic). Its like a real drummer playing an electronic drum kit, not a robot playing a real drum kit!

[abelton2007]

your full of shit as well.

[abelton2007]

well reason is an electronic based proggramme you idiot

[thiagotecnico]

reson 4 is very good. see my videos about reason 4

[JimHarmatz]

Reason great. Too bad everyone makes such crappy music with it.

[WorksopGimp]

Post yours mate

[hollandturbine]

Reason with all its wonderfull new devices for triggering its internal instruments realy did need to have inprovements made to its sequencer because Reason can not output note data to the master sequencer it is rewired to.(no midi out)

So a more powerfull sequencer is a real positive improvement IMHO.

[iamadamant]

Bout time they did an upgrade to the sequencer. That's sweet.

[jamesfrieson]

looks sick

[88xetrov88]

wow this program looks the bizness

[mezaclash]

reason es lo mejor !!!!

ohhh siiiiii

[moltar2000]

R4 is f***ing roxxor!!! Can't wait.

[djcondra]

Ableton I hope you are taking notes

[kitsune2222]

Wow Reason 4 ftw!
