Twisted - My first attempt with Propellerheads Reason

** FOR STEREO ** add &fmt=18 after the URL in the address box at the top of your browser. You should then, hopefully, be hearing it in stereo.

Or you can click on the link below but stop the current one playing first or you'll end up with 2 playing at the same time.

I've had an old copy of Propellerheads Reason (2.5 so no Thor) on my computer for a few years and I've just got round to using it. This is my first attempt at a complete track.

It was meant to be Trance but, with my inability to stick to the rules, it ended up as something else. I don't know what sub-genre of Electronica it belongs to but Trance it ain't.

All constructive criticism and advice welcome.

Just one more thing - or two. YouTube compresses all my music so the loud parts become quieter and, worst of all, the quiet parts become louder which spoils the quiet 'ambient' parts or any parts where the kick drum stops. Does anyone know how stop YouTube doing this so I can keep the various volumes as I meant them to be. And what's all that buzzing and stuff right at the end where there's a couple of seconds of silence? No one else seems to get these problems so maybe they know something I don't.

Beautiful and has a very cheerful chorus!

[rogwinyt]

Thanks quentifox. Glad you liked it.

[flamenco77]

Your music is brilliant, downright mindblowing. Please keep writing tracks.

Also I've never worked with Reason before, is it difficult to learn? Thanks!

[rogwinyt]

Thanks flamenco77. It isn't difficult to learn the basics in Reason and bit by bit you can get deeper into it. I think I've just scratched the surface.

Very nice music!

btw, how much quality does Youtube cut down on a track? :(

[rogwinyt]

Thanks roan6903. They cut down on the quality a lot especially with their compression. But other people seem to handle it ok. I must find out how they do it.

[rogwinyt]

I'm back. Great stuff. Keep up the good work but try to cut down on your smoking!!

[rogwinyt]
