this video is hopelessly lacking in important details. You MUST understand compression ratios before you can apply compression properly. You must know the math to apply EQ to several channels individually. There is x amount of bandwidth and headroom you must know how to divide each instrument into that bandwidth. eg: how to scoop low mids out of the bass so they do not clash with the bass drum.

get a job? haha... i'm gonna guess you are trying to ask how much Reason costs and it's about $400. ;)

@sonicdissent You don't happen to have a tutorial or any tips for mixing, do you? I'm trying to learn how to prevent that clash and preserve headroom.

Still good info

thx

@sonicdissent I think your over complicating it. As long as you understand that all sounds will need a place in the sonic spectrum and that you can use the stereo width to create space between sounds that share the same frequencies (panning). The rest is all in the ear.

@sonicdissent do u know how ? if yes tell me where i can learn

@MrBassgeige I do the same thing. I make the melody then the drums and bassline....

To me the drum works off the melody

[MrBassgeige]

I don't think that you have to start with the drums. A lot of people think that every drum hits every melody, but it won't.

I think it's better to put a drum in your mix only to look how the melody works on it and when the melody is composed you can fix the drumsounds, so that they fix exactly to the melody.

But I also think that I am the only person who starts producing with some melody lines and not with the drums or the bassline

Reason's instruments rewired with Logic 8's = <333

This is basically a teaser for a Berklee Music course, Producing Music with Reason. I'm taking the 12 week course right now. It isn't meant to be a full blown tutorial, it's just a taste of what you can get taking this class.

I kno this is old, but is it ok to let some of the audio tracks from the mixer jump into the red of the master channel as long as it's not peaking or sitting in it?

Re Reasons is the best, I wonder how do you come to that conclusion have you tried all of the rest? Don't get me wrong Reason is an excellent program, to Rewire with other DAW and for production aspects as well, but to say its the best, you have to be more specific. Reason has never crashed on me, easy learning curve nice instruments and effects, lacks VST, AU, RSTA capabilities and no audio or vocal recording, unless rewired, Apple Logic Pro is the best for me, its all about choice music 4 life
