[stfuBUDDY]

i loooove propellerheads maketing/videos

[akruse]

I want to know what the song playing for 1 second at 0:45 is...

[genetik69]

Fuk this guy is funny n educational!

[crimehalo]

arghhhhhh no replies!!

[PropellerheadSW]

@crimehalo Wait are you still trying to figure out the song? The first trance song in the trance-gate section is "Robert Jax vs. Techno Squirrels." I searched and it's not on youtube but it's on iTunes and Spotify.

[crimehalo]

@PropellerheadSW

thanx man i appreciate it!!!

[JuiceBoxesRAwesome]

lol 3:37

[crimehalo]

ppl seriously wats the first trance song called?!?!?

[1root]

i love you propellerhead! send me a free copy of reason 6 now please! thank you ;)

[crimehalo]

WHAT IS THE FIRST TRANCE SONG CALLED!?!?

[crimehalo]

wats the first song called?

[PropellerheadSW]

@crimehalo That was just a short idea that Leo in our office made and I borrowed for the video. I don't think it's a full song yet.

[crimehalo]

@PropellerheadSW

ohhhh i see. thanx for letting me know. but if its a fukll song, please tell me the name hah

[crimehalo]

@PropellerheadSW

dudeee my bad i meant the trance song right after trance gates

[PunkRockDynasty]

i like the song at the end who was that? Great vid, very insightful..

[PunkRockDynasty]

@PunkRockDynasty nvm i should have read the description before..

[benhendrick1]

This is a deep house machine! I can't wait to play stabs through it.

[MitchRulzWorld]

You said that you used your midi controller to open and close the gate manually. If I don't have a midi, can I do this with the keyboard?

[PropellerheadSW]

@MitchRulzWorld Short answer: yes.

[EggWS94]

How do I do this sound 0:06

[PropellerheadSW]

@EggWS94 It's a preset in the factory sound bank on Reason 6. I don't remember the exact patch name. If someone else reading knows it, feel free to chime in.

[djmigra]

@EggWS94 I think it's a Wobble Bass (Dubstep) in Thor

[Foreignsik]

@EggWS94 Low pass filter with high resonance, run into digital distortion and lower P2. Then modulate cutoff.

[taivo92]

holy crap i want this kind of VST for my Fruity Loops :D Dows anybody know any goot gater vst ?

[ChainAlgorithm0]

@taivo92

Get Reason. Then your question will be "Holy crap, I want this VST for reason! how can i get one?" the answer will always be "You can make it" Even this device could have been made in Reason 4. My point: Reason is epic. don't waste time with VST crap when you can build everything on your own.

[SoundAverse]

@ChainAlgorithm0 with reasons own build in vst crap

[GorillaTactics]

Yeah, I was gonna buy the upgrade to Reason 6 anyway, but the NyanGator cameo totally sealed the deal.

[15thSINE]

hey guys/ladies check out our booty of "Sean Paul - Get Busy" we used Reason 6 only , used Alligator for vox stutters and metallic noisy sounding synth's, vid is on my channel

[Caliko1]

I had just finished playing Nyan Cat on my iPod touch

so 3:40 had me tripping HARD!!!!!

Wasn't expecting that at all!! And just look at those waving knobs!!!!

[Thauxeeb]

What's the first song? I want the full version!

[SharpChurR0]

lol nyan gator thats the first time ive actually thought this corny tutorial was funny

[EIectronick]

Nyanigator at 3:40

[R4wwkit]

Yo, I swear to god. I'm watching this video and when the alligator came up I freaked out (I'm high).

Nice video. I want Reason 6 :(

[MrVirtigoDubstep]

So guttered as a full on music producer at college :( so have no income I am not able to afford are there any discounts for students at all ?

[PropellerheadSW]

@MrVirtigoDubstep There sure are, we sell an academic version for students. Deep discounts abound.

[BRAKESUK80]

@PropellerheadSW reason is a force to be reckoned with. thanks to all you guys at props for giving a long standing reasoner the upgrade to v6 for literally pence ;)

v6 is a beast

[Th3Hamm3r]

@PropellerheadSW Are there any differences between the student version and the regular version? I'm also studying music production (where we are forced to use Logic, ewwww), and I really want to get my hands on all the new plugins in Reason 6.

[PropellerheadSW]

@Th3Hamm3r No difference other than the price.

[Th3Hamm3r]

@PropellerheadSW So how can I get it? I can't seem to find a link on your store.

[flomo74]

Just started using Reason 6. Upgraded for 30 bucks because they let me choose my own payment.

Props to the props!

[guitarsumo007]

Ill check it out !

[guitarsumo007]

dudeee ilove your commercialsss hahaha

[atylerplai]

NYAN GATOR!

[tuber12321]

Nyanigator!

[OfficialLemnisc8]

I nearly scared my co-worker to death by bursting out laughing at the Nyan Cat parody!

[madaznboy]

Now I see why we are moving into the electric era of music... This stuff makes playing the guitar or any instrument seem so barbarian and so pitifully simple to play..... I mean, you have every noise in the universe and instrument with these types of programs... GUITAR NO MORE, DJ TUANESTO INC!!!!!!!

[dgmulf]

Holy shit. Propellerhead knows how to make REAL software. This is so cool... can't wait to upgrade from Reason 4!

[fortgreene31]

@dgmulf you gonna love it man. I started off with Reason 4. I have the 6 now it's on. Propellerhead these days in my home is my best friend these days besides my family peace and love.

[cranedeck]

I've been turning the knobs alot... WHERES MY NYAN ALLIGATOR!!!!!!!!

[plasmaforce11]

dude, the knob turning trick with a dancing alligator was epic! :P

[plasmaforce11]

2:00 mark is too cool :P

[ghanafriend]

@propellerheadSW is there any way to hear the last song compeltely? i just love it. :D

[PropellerheadSW]

@ghanafriend yeah, if you check out our soundcloud page (username: propellerhead)... we have a whole playlist of songs featured in our newest videos and this one is in there.

[ghanafriend]

@PropellerheadSW thanks alot :)

[caro1000000]

I.... CAN'T.... WAIT.... Drum n' Bass REMIXES <3

[AllUrUtubeRbelong2me]

Ok, so when I crank the envelope knob on the low pass filter, that lets out Nyan Alligator? Cool.

[Kamihamihauk]

Nyan Alligator should defo be an easter egg!

[MusicMan497]

So if the three gates can be controlled via a MIDI controller, can you save your own patterns/presets?

[jdgrecords]

Oooh man! i can't take it anymore!! Reason 6 now! NOW! i'm bitting my nails!

[djs909]

Will Steve Angello love Alligator?

[europlane77]

Rest of my post didnt get posted cause if it's length. :-)

Just want to thank Propellerhead software for the many times me and my buds have had creating new revolutionary Music...

From soundtracker it have taken me more than 20 years of musicmaking to come where we are now... Looking forward to reason 6 you wouldnt believe it!!! And more from Techno Squirrels...

Greetings from Denmark.

[europlane77]

@PropellerheadSW thanks a bunch. But you have nothing to be a shame of Ryan. I can hear how Gates have been used in your music a lot, and must say a great album. You have a good variety of electronic and trance mixed. I bought your EP and love it!

One question though.... Os everything done on reason/record or ? I personally only use reason... Vocals have just become more interresting to do direcly in reason, and not connected to my old Boss Harddiscrecorder.

Im proud to Call myself a producer.

[europlane77]

@propellerheadSW Im looking forward to getting me new software... I only have reason 5 without record... Now i can't wait anymore...

Just a question. Who are those 3 or 4 trance songs in the beginning?????

[PropellerheadSW]

@europlane77 I promise I'm not shamelessly plugging... it's only because you asked: those songs are my group, Techno Squirrels. I needed some music that I had the rights to use in that style so I used remixes that appeared on EP releases of mine a few years ago. /ryan

[PabloMessier]

Whats the name of the song at the end of the video ?

[Psicloone]

this is a combi patch Ö)

[skyhawk77]

The Alligator has to be my new favourite device, especially since I'm a bit of a trance head. I laughed my head off in the public library when i watched this, that dam song makes it's apperence, I'm blaiming Propellerheads Ryan for this hahaha. Hold on isn't your name Ryan lol...Oh btw... you know me as scottym on the props forum ;-)

[NoqturnePL]

Nyangator Easter Egg

Please ?

[MrMaRyMaS]

3:45 Hahaha

[ChillOutMaann]

awesome video.

[tobyuuuuu]

@PropellerheadSW Are all knobs available for automation and Combinator assignment?

[KronistheiLL]

i cant wait!!!!

[christopheraj28]

The song in the beginning is AWESOME! :D

[PropellerheadSW]

@christopheraj28 That's made by Leo, one of the Propellerheads. A couple weeks ago he decided "I want to figure out how to make dubstep music." The next day he came into the office and he could do it better than I could ever dream of. He's kinda a musical genius like that. :)

[christopheraj28]

@PropellerheadSW Definitely a musical genius :) Two other question though: When is THE ECHO video coming out? And when is the demo of Reason 6 be available?

[PropellerheadSW]

@christopheraj28 I'm actually working on The Echo video today and tomorrow. Hopefully, it'll be up by the end of tomorrow. The demo of Reason 6 will be downloadable the release day, Sept. 30th.

[christopheraj28]

@PropellerheadSW Great!! :) Thank you :) REASON FOREVER!!!!

[twiggy120]

Is that Nyan Nyan gator a real trick in Reason 6? Like an upgraded egg to unscrewing the Subtractor.

[PropellerheadSW]

@twiggy120 Sorry to say, it's not. I wish it were too but then we'd all never get anything done. We'd just watch NYAN Gator all day. :)

[twiggy120]

Is that Nyan Nyan gator a real trick in Reason 6? Like an upgraded egg to unscrewing the Subtractor.

[EndLessWorldz]

make a tutorial on how to make dubstep with reason

[jdomini00]

that is hot



[SlayanicDoom]

How much to upgrade from reason 5?

[anosoumusictube]

@SlayanicDoom From Reason 5 stand-alone it's 149 EUR / 169 USD MSRP.

[Micah421]

Great Video, Quality and funny...well done

[dafunkch]

[PublicNMEnumber1]

[bdbancel]

Wow, totally bored on the left is a handsome fellow!

[CookieMurderer123]

Can't wait 2 get my hands on it  LOL

[FuriousCoder]

Pretty sweet. I sold almost all my hardware a over a year ago, and now I'm just down to Reason/Record/ReCycle. Amazing software. Keep the coolness coming.

[WulphProductions]

[mmmusicc777]

[humanalive]

This thing comes a bit late, or not?

I mean, gated sounds were popular in the early 90s. Thats 20 years back. Or am i allowed to set a new retro trend today by using this in my productions?

:)

[DJMelancholicAngel]

@humanalive There are already gated sounds, but, damn, this one seems like a much more well organized version of what's already there.

[FutureMusic12am]

nyan gator ftw in reason 6 awsome video

[Ozdorpie]

Oh man.. This is going to be f*cking awesome.

[bradtwo]

You guys are great.

[theoneandonlyhut]

I WANT THE ECHO VIDEO NOW !

[PropellerheadSW]

@theoneandonlyhut I'm working on it RIGHT NOW!!!!!!

[theoneandonlyhut]

@PropellerheadSW oh,oh, okay. sorry then. i thought all tutorials are finished and you just wait with the release to bother your fans :P

P.S.: Make sure it's good :)

[DJTYCOMIX]

HAHA car picture for drive!

[blabla12331]

This video is the funniest thing I've seen today :D

[SamAndrew27]

HAHA 3:45, I lol'ed by ballz off!!!

[moreproduct]

[nac3rules]

Looks soooo cool :D

[bw905]

Can't wait to play it.

[DJGrazba]

BILL GATE xD !!

[myrtorp]

Stargate!!!

[Psylicium]

01:11 > Beautiful! :D

[MercyStudios]

Incredible!! Every time you guys release another video I can see my self making Reason my main DAW!

[ytgijs]

This is so awesome, guys!

[DynastyUKOfficial]

where can i listen to that track at the end??? sounds Phat!

[anosoumusictube]

@DynastyUKOfficial That's a track me and Random did for the video. We might make it available as a download in the future! :)

[DynastyUKOfficial]

@anosoumusictube Awesome :D  Please do =]

[DynastyUKOfficial]

no dislikes???? WHY AM I NOT SUPPRISED???

[ArgoBeats]

Man, who are your maketing people? They are MERE GENIUS!

[SplinterCell37]

Easy to see how this is the continuation of Reason. It's all about experimental flow - an almost ironic statement, since "experiment" and "flow" are rarely linked. But they are in Reason.

[Si3z3]

is that a actual easter egg :|

[Si3z3]

LO LA STARGATE

[k4mi1o0tr11]

1:55 Awesome ! :)

[Freyelise]

This is the device out of the three new ones that I'm personally most looking forward to. Can't wait to abuse it!

[TRIAM1D]

HOLY DERPNURGLES IT'S A NYANAGATOR :O

[djmigra]

bill gates omg roflmao bwajajajajajajajajajajajajajaj­ajajajajajajajajajajajajajajaa­aaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

[SyncrisisVideos]

You have way too much fun making these. I love it.

[maxauto44e]

NYAN CAT

[colcifer]

Seems halfassed; should at least be semimodular.

[SyncrisisVideos]

@colcifer we haven't yet seen the cv outs on the back to determine how programmable it'd be with semi-modular routings in a combinator.

[colcifer]

@SyncrisisVideos They aren't getting into cv this time around but they'd've shown any auxiliary audio ins and outs on the rear I should think.

[anosoumusictube]

@colcifer You can actually put any insert effects you want on the three channels so it IS modular. You can put 3 Alligators on every Alligator channel if you want, using the effects in any order. ;)

[colcifer]

@anosoumusictube Good to know; I was worried the Props were slipping.

[MrTomzHere]

Made my day this video!!!

[Mixikyr]

and I for one propose you give your creative media marketing team a raise.

[Mixikyr]

That swimming alligator thing should be an easter egg.

[Rane909]

@Mixikyr NEOWCAT for the win hahahaha

[TomasRoko]

I like how Propellerheads make their videos with such a good sense of humor and creativity. Cheers!

[MrTangezz]

Tutorial? It doesn't come out till 30th September! XD

[anosoumusictube]

@MrTangezz But when it does it's gonna be easier to get started, right? ;)

[FlowTraceur]

The engineers at Propellerhead Software should totally implement the Nyan Gator into Reason . Seriously , the workspace would just feel more alive !

[popcornfreak129]

can you actually do a nyan gator?...

[dmoates420]

Im a little bummed that there will no longer be a seperate reason and record. The only reason is that when rewiring Reason into Pro Tools or something the performance is way better than wiring Record even though Record has alot more great features. Will i be able to rewire Reason 6 with the console and everything and have no processor issues like in Reason 5? I doubt it.

[farmertml]

OH MY GOD NYAN CAT!!! Props you really are so epic

[DJRockstarbaby]

When i saw the introducing reason video i said im not going to use anything but the pulveriser but nevermind i now know what this goes so reason 6 is gonna be a revolution in the music industry

[stereovisions]

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!

[emailjackreid]

"A sea of knobs, which might seem daunting at first."

[tommypatzius]

Been doing the gate thing forever using the Matrix module. Alligator is fun too. Been beta testing it. I'm so ready for Balance and Reason 6!

[ImperialLobster]

I love you PHSW! I'm getting reason 6 ASAP.

[BrandonCarterTV]

!!!!HOLY SH*T!!!!

[qugas]

NICE NICE NICE!!!!

[beyondrupture]

NYAN GATOR RULES :D

[officialslazaar]

REASON 6 <3

[manolismoumouzias]

Alligator is a great device! Not much to say except that I'm waiting for the Reason release! What I also like is the humorous touch on all of the Props videos .... "nothing weird is gonna happen"!!! Hliarious!!

[rockdownthequarts]

Can someone show me how to do that sound in the beginning the bass! thanks !

0:04

[anosoumusictube]

@rockdownthequarts Some of these are actually patches from the Reason 6 Factory Sound Bank that's included with Reason 6 so if you decide to get Reason 6 you can check out the patches there and see how they were made.

[OfficialLemnisc8]

@anosoumusictube

I don't suppose you know the name of these patches?

[archebeats]

@rockdownthequarts well you can experiment first with a very phat osc, like a super saw, then you can try a bit crusher + a band pass filter and try automate this two effects. it that doesn't work, have a FM bass and drop a formant filter with a bandpass and distortion.

[rockdownthequarts]

@archebeats

Sorry to bother you but.

Where can I find this sounds in reason 5? Like what devices?

[archebeats]

@rockdownthequarts well, i think you'll spend more time using the combinator, some people think thor is everything, try thor, try it's automation sequencer to move some parameters but I do think that you need the combinator to drop more effects. I don;t know if this answers your question. oh and amllestrom is very good too try getting a nasty sound out of it.

[93davve93]

I really want reason 6!

[rockdownthequarts]

You should addthat nyan alligator nice easter egg! :D

[Nurave16]

reason rocks!!!!!!!!!!

[ChristFan868]

Is this track gonna come as a demo in Reason 6? That's one thing I'm looking forward to for sure!

[ThePianoShack]

Cool!!!

[IkeProductionsMusic]

ive been wanting something easy like this for ages, thank you

[jim40135]

I can't wait to swim in the sea of knobs...!

[djmigra]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[Ca1mdownplz]

0:44 LUCKY DATE!

[arwidcool]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL BRILLIANT

[Fran0Ran0]

Thank you for making me laugh today

[ProfessorXavierBeats]

Hahahaha the Nyan Gator!!!! So unpredictable!

[obd]
