This is an extremely powerful tool, that it took me 3 years to finally get to, because I've had so much on my plate to work on within Reason, before I could wrap my mind around this feature.
reason has enabled me to get whats in my head out there , i have tried many others but there is no competition in my eyes , its tought me so much i can now go to any software or hardware and understand it . thanks for all the tutorial videos , you dudes have given me more than words could ever describe , my soul is yours .
Each time I think to myself, "yeah but you already know all that and its a ten year old video!", but then I see its our lad Matias and...I learn a little thing, which could be a big thing!.. man that "get groove from clip" ....like a fooooooooool.... bravo slightly younger Matias, bravo sir!
Thank god. I thought I was going mad, I’d stopped using Reason for nearly ten years and when I came back to music creation I hear all over the official videos - Red-Rum instead of Re-Drum. Yes, yes (and ha ha) - I get the Kubrick reference, I first noticed that in version 1.0, but it’s only funny once and, as a marketing guy, the consistency - even the cheesiness - of naming just about everything with a ‘Re’ is one of those pleasing to the ears creative choices that I’m sure is partly responsible for Propellerhead’s success. I’m glad Matthias can pronounce the name correctly. Now, I also understand the concept of quirk and marketing to those ‘in-the-know’ but I’d hope propellerheads is beyond that now. Reason is an industry standard, love it or loathe it. I love it, by the way. For a while there, with Re-cord it was looking like it might be on the decline but my recent re-discovery (see what I did there?) has been as much fun as the first time I opened Re-Birth. Using ‘Re’ IS pretty much the brand, and renaming something because of an only slightly funny in-joke about how cool your movie watching preferences are should have been stopped at the brand guardians. Of course, as I haven’t been paying attention for about 10 years there may well have been a huge PR event talking about how it’s now red-rum. If that’s the case, then fair enough. I still think Re-naming (or should that be ren-aiming?) RE-DRUM is stupid, though, and destroying my childhood a little bit. Bloody millennials!
Julian Morrisco Reason is NOT an industry standard. FL studio is, and Ableton LIVE is, and Logic is. The vast majority of today’s most famous and popular artists are NOT using Reason. Just look at people like Avicii, he was using FL Studio, look at Martin Garrix, again FL studio, as a result of famous artists like these, every new producer starts using FL studio and NOT Reason. The worlds most enduring and popular music production magazine Sound On Sound even emitted their Reason tips article in recent months, yet included tips for about 7 other sequencers and programs. Reason had it’s hey-day when it first came out, but has been going downhill since then. Just look on their official RU-vid channel, and check how high their video views were about 10 years ago vs now. It’s not popular anymore, it’s fading into obscurity, and a glimmer of hope would have been if the released an amazing mobile app, which they did, and it’s an incredibly limited and embarrassing product, which is doing no favours for the brand. I’m a passionate Reason user and it hurts me to see the company go down because of mismanagement and not having any visual updates since 2003. It’s just embarrassing.
What was that thing about soft quantizing he said in the end? i didnt quite understand in which way it quantizes then. anyone how knows it is welcome to answer! =)
Couldn't you just read the manual? Or experiment? That's how I learned, and god know's I didn't know a damn thing about what a synthesizer was, or even MIDI when I first got Reason. The learning curve is steep no matter what, just take baby steps and before you know it you'll know everything you need to know. Also, google and James Bernard's tutorials are really helpful.
PS for groove makers, I have seen Berklee Press has some good intro books to drumming and, I'm sure Amazon probably has something called Drum(S)/Drumming for Dummies or Complete Idiots, to help non-drummers learn to program and use drums better with these new virtual DAW methods. ..i'm going to see if anyone has written a DAW for Dummies yet: that'd be perfect for me!..I'm still a noobi after a year but, I haven't even started actual recording of my guitar yet Berklee shares has free lessons too
And our lives continue to move forward. So...what ever happened to your part two? You were imparting some good knowledge and then? Poof, a year goes by, then another, then another...from this point forward; you have six months still to deliver your part two. We are looking forward to it! At least I am. Almost two years later. We understand that you’ve been investing countless hours, weeks, even years of research, and you know what? It’s time for it to be delivered to your RU-vid Community; don’t you agree? We wait. Peace Out
No, you don't have to be a rocket scientist but, you do need to look around the virtual studio because DAW makers, from what I see are a very mischievous lot: they are always working & hiding stuff, as they go along in plain view: but, you really need to interface and interact with your mouse, keyboard, the user manual and the official vidtuts, I have learned as even just one VST unit has stuff, hidden functions in it, that are waiting to be discovered and used. Santa's helpers are tricky ones.
