[BGlittle5]

what patch are you using for the subtraktor

[ElmigoMUSICS]

wow! PRO dude! PRO!!

[terrencetee]

Nice tutorial, I've been using fruity loops, and im just getting in to reason, so i'm pretty much a beginner.

I have a question though, When I take my finger off the key board, the sample does not stop.

can anyone help me ?

[dimesach]

@terrencetee make sure your envelope decay is turned down

[KamikazeUnderground]

Check out my vids. All of my beats are made in Reason.

[philip75000]

How can i make the synthes to sound good, when  try to make something it just sounds strange.

[MortenBoHansen]

so, when you are stoning away with a sample on our mpc's long time enough .. does it also look like to you, that the pads look exACTLY like on the box it came in!!!X-S

[kimboslice07081]

Great beat! Just wondering if you do any dubstep bruv? If so post a video on how you did it. If not then I know how hard it is to make dubstep. its just that im finding it hard to get the right wobbles i need out of reason. But im gettin there with the help of others cheers for this tutoral anyway. Become a learning curve!

[slowbus]

what keyboard do you recommend getting?

[DentonDickerson]

If you download a drum kit how do you open it in Reason?

[MrDaZe5]

@DentonDickerson you open the ReDrums or your kicks snares etc.in create instrument then browse for where you put it and just double click.But you gotta browse for it in the Redrum Drum Computer or you won't hear anything on the other devices

[DentonDickerson]

@MrDaZe5 omg thank you! sucks that it only works on redrum

[MrDaZe5]

@DentonDickerson well it's easier because you got your kick on 1 tour snare on 2 so you can play all of those on your keyboard like this you would only have one sound and would have to record the snare and every drum sound separately.Which would be a BIG pain in the ass..xD.Anyway glad i could help PM me if you got more questions..PeAcEE...

[daneICEsane]

this is a good beat. above average compared to other youtubers. i myself am starting out a youtube account (it was long overdue). you can check out my page and hear some free profesionally mastered beats!

[myyly]

Excellent tutorial, thank you very much.

[deps420]

ok i just bought reason 4 today, i have no clue what im doing but i have been watching tutorials. im still a little confused how to set wires and which devices i should be using. can someone help me out here??

[daneICEsane]

@deps420 reason 4 is very versatile. i use it once in a while, and honestly, u cant go wrong if u keep watching tutorials. all the devices in there have their own capabilities. i suggest u take each device one by one and learn all of them before you can get really into making music.

[pmoney8701]

when your ready to record theirs the pre click button that you can enable that counts you in before you begin recording dude...

[oLsoNaGe]

check out my channel ! why ?

free beats !

[fortgreene31]

Nice vid. I've been working Reason 4.0 for about 5 months now. It is a crazy unbelievable program. I have produce several tracks on there now. Anyone interested of hearing some of the music i had sequence using Reason. Just holla at me. Peace

[DarthSkater6]

how can you lease a beat?

[mambaruiz]

Hey sick beat what was the name of the synth or piano you used at the end of the tutorial part one? Ive been looking for that type of sound thanks bro.

[MildyAttractive]

Hey can anyone give me tip or two in regards to adding that nice scratchy sound you hear when you play old vinyl records to a track or instrument. Lol please don't just say "use Scream" it doesn't produce the results I'm looking for : /

[CarlosERS89]

@MildyAttractive Man I know what you're talking about, I've been looking for that too but I still haven't figured it out.

[SjOneZz]

more detail would have been nice but thank you.

[SjOneZz]

[willylacey]

Awesome tutorial! Just got reason and you made it that much easier! Thanks!

[Henrydaddy69]

do you need a keyboard?

[whirly1300]

trust me, the feeling after you get a keyboard is inkredible!

[mw2king89]

how do u set up a midi keyboard to reason 4? i have the m audio keystudio 49 keyboard

[Scholick]

if you havent got money for a keyboard, Bome`s mouse keyboard will convert your computer keyboard into a musical keyboard which you can use with reason 4, i suggest you just google it, ps. its postcardware (free), there is step by step guides how to set it up with reason and is fairly easy as long as you follow the steps. this doesnt count as spam does it? xD anyways just a little tip for us who spent our salary on reason and are having an "inside the house" month hehe xD

[CONSTANT414]

thanx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1.­

[Jacekdupa]

cool beat

[phenomenonnarutokun]

do you really need the synthetiser ?

[AStackSbeatz]

What do you mean?

Well, its all personal preference what you want to use in your song. I made this hip hop beat very quick only for tutorial purposes to show how to use the program.. The quality of the beat wasn't the focus here.

[phenomenonnarutokun]

no no

I didn't mean the quality (it's good :P)

I meant if I wnat to make a beat on reason do I absolutely have to have a MIDI keybopard or a synthetiser ?

[AStackSbeatz]

No you dont absolutely need to have a midi keyboard or synthesizer. You can use your mouse to draw the notes you want. However, making music using reason is much more intuitive with a keyboard, rather than a mouse.

[OhYannick]

@AStackSbeatz Is it possible to use a CPU keyboard as I use to do in Fruity Loops?

[Dependablehero]

ey dude this is good keep it up thank you

[CryptoMystic2]

Where's the tutorial?

[AStackSbeatz]

Hey Crypto, if you fast forward to around 1/4 into the video, the tutorial starts, It says to fast forward in the yellow box.. I was debating whether to do this or not.. But ya, there's also 4 parts to this tutorial, checkem out on my channel if you cant find them thru the searches

[onlywhenprovoked]

Here's a little tip.

If you type a time marker in the comments, like this 2:08

it turns into a blue clickable link, and it will jump people to that spot in the video, if they click it.
