Making a Synthwave(ish) Groove in Reason 10 

Dude, I've learned more within last 25 min about reason, than I have my entire life. Great tutorial

Subscribed! Probably one of the best Reason tutorials I've ever seen. Thank you! Keep up the good work. I'll be on the lookout for more! How would you fix the clashing between the bass arpeggio notes and the high arp? (I think more of us are interested in that than you think)

Very Depeche Mode! This is great, Paul you are truly a Reason Master thank you for sharing your knowledge here and on groove3!

Wow we got a real Reason power user here! Nice man I learned some stuff.

THIS is the tutorial I've been looking for. So much useful info packed in here - Thanks for sharing!

This was just awesome! :) Just got my bought reason 10 a few weeks ago and just started using it. I realize I have a few miles to go before I'm good at it but it seems so good at many things. Will be making synth music :)

Holy jezusballz this is good and best tutorial!

Zeta was my fav album from 2017, thanks so much for this!

Brilliant! Greetings from devoted Reason user :) Love your work!

This is one of the best tutorials I've seen. Great Work bro

Really nice techniques you have there. Love the piano!

Subscribed! I've only recently become aware of SynthWave. Never knew it existed and I love it. Possibly because I was a child of the 80s and remember the music so well. Brings back memories. It's also a real bonus to find someone using Reason 10 to create a superb SynthWave demo. I've long been a Reason user. I had a stab and my quick track came out like a poor 80s TV commercial track. Must try harder next time. Cheers.

Love to see this kind of detail in setting up instruments and ideas from scratch. Thank you!

Great tutorial Paul. I haven't used Europa much yet, but your video has inspired me to do so!

2 years later, and this is still one my favorite Reason tutorials/videos. Super inspirational. Love.

Thanks Paul, this was really helpful. Oh and definitely make this into a full song :) Cheers mate.

Creates piano sound: THAT SOUNDS HORRIBLE Plays piano with the track: THAT'S AMAZING Love it dude. Great tutorial and I'm not even a Reason user :D

I learned so much from this video! Thank you!!

Amazing explaining and Video too, I'm impressed how much I've to learn, thx a lot for your video, is a huge help for me. More videos like this please!!!!

Thank you so much for this! The drum tutorial was very much appreciated.

This video is 25 minutes long. It took me 7 hours to finish it. Great content, I learned so much from this. Thank you so much!

Wow, very nice, thanks a lot for this one -I'm a syntwave fanatic. Do you know what drum/bass "The Midnight" is typically using f.ex "The Comeback Kid" ? -Can you make some more synthwave demos, what about also including vocoder?

Fantastic tutorial; thanks for sharing!

Mind....blown!!!! Wow.... Jaw drops... Thank you so much for sharing how to do this!

Nice.Never knew what synthwave was.Now i do.Guess I've been making synthwave for a long time.lol. 80's heads like Carpenter, Tangerine Dream were always a big influence.Always described it as soundtracks looking for a movie. I don't use Reason all that often anymore but this tutorial had all sorts of great tips and tricks in using it which could also work in other DAWS.MORE. MORE.

Zeta was dope. awesome of you to share the secrets behind it.

This is fantastic! I learned so much.

This sounds amazing. Like taken from an album by either Mega Drive or Vector Hold. Found out about this channel due to years of listening to your music (from your official catalogue) and now I'll start go through the clips of this channel as well. I know I'm a few years late to the party, but at least it'll take some time to run out of content. All the best!

Pump is discontinued. Luckily there's a side chain preset for Synchronous

Great stuff, helpful, informative, interesting, still going strong event after 5 years :)

This is the tutorial I've been searching for. Thank you so much.

Well, you're a great Reason salesman, because I just upgraded from Reason 8 to 11 because of this video 😂

You're a genius man! Thank you so much! Been following you since early 2000's and you continue to destroy!

I've left one comment in the last five years, but came here specifically to say that the six thumbs down can fuck off. This truly is a next level production tutorial. This is beyond excellent.

When you added the piano that you had at the foundry and chorus to I thought you should've had the corresponding those 2/3 bar as well I think that Melody is pretty awesome you left an empty space on the start of the third bar which I thought for the RC been filled but that's your problem your production so you can do as you wish but amazing either way

Wow, this video really makes you dig for Gold in reason, great job mate !!!

I've seen a lot of Reason tutorials but this has to be one of the best out there. There is no fussing around. To the point, very articulate and well spoken. Flawless. I've learned so much in just 25 min! 10/10.

That was awesome. Got 9.5 but Europa looks like it might become my Thor stock replacement when I get 10. At first glance it looks like it works in a similar way to Serum?

I agree with many of the others here, I learned a massive amount from this video. Thank you! Of course, now I want to buy a bunch of those tools too.

Brilliant stuff; so much packed into this one piece. Thank you

Ive been trying to make a electric guitar with that chorus sound using friktion. any advice:)?

Have you every used reason Live? Im on fence between ableton and reason for playing a back track and live playing at the same time. thank you

Great video. Good pace, content and nice result. Picked up some good tips too.

2 minutes in, came twice already from the sick sound and subscribed.

man this is gold . very thanks. im subscribed now

Thanks

Fantastic Mate! Thanks for the tutorial, you have given me some great ideas!

Best tutorial I've ever seen. You're exceptional!

One of the best tutorials I've ever watched. Thanks.

this might be the single most greatest thing i ve ever watched. ive learned so much. hope everything is going great mister ortiz. peace

Wow. I learned so much in that session. You did things so effortlessly. Great tutorial.

it's the most useful video about reason i've ever watched. thank you man, hope to see your new videos soon

Really incredible. Very similar to my style of music. If I had this I'd be itching to lay down a vocal track! You really walked us through everything beautifully, especially for this style of music in Reason. Thanks Paul!

The bass sounds like it could be a remix to human after all

How do you play sounds with the mouse ????

Seems like it should be in a movie for sure very cool

Damn, Reason got really good from what I remember ...

we want more of reason. Im a Reason Suite User .

I'm just getting into Reason, so later as i progress i will need to ask some question. Thanks in advance. Mike

Excellent video! I picked up some very useful tips and tricks. Cheers!

Awsome turorial!!

Synthwave forever on LSD!!!

Brilliant and inspiring, thanks :-)

What’s this genre sounds great

I liked this video so now it's at 1k likes.

@19:00 are playing the arpegiate notes by hand?

Dannnng. Boy's got the moves

thanks for making this mate

Thinking of upgrading from 8 to 10 after watching this video.

A massive thank you for videos like these! I would absolutely love to see more, both from you as an artist and myself as an avid Reason user. Looking forward to more Zeta!

Best 25 minutes of my life

Awesome tutorial.

Cheers, great tutorial.

Picked up so much from this video. Thanks, Paul ;)

Amazing! Thanks so much!

You make it look so easy

Thank you so much!

Great job sir. Nice to see how others work within Reason.

Awesome tutorial! Subscribed. I'm pretty familiar with my way around Reason so I was glad to pick up a few new things.

Please make a part 2!

Dude, you are good!

Thanks m8. I switched rooms in the house so the kids would get my bigger office and I moved all my stuff into a smaller room. After that I haven't gotten my audi stuff setup. This ignited that urge. I was born 1980 so this type of sound just ignites something in me :)

Serious skills.. Thanks for making and sharing your ideas. I will be on the lookout for your videos!

Great video! Learned a few things that I am looking forward to applying to my own music.Thanks Paul - Spaceboy

Great vid, love to see more!

Good afternoon Paul how can we connect.... your tutorial gave me an in depth into reason very good my friend.

Wow this is a great tutorial! I just bought Reason 10 and this is just what I as a user coming from other DAW:s (mainly Cubase) need to know to get started. It looks like the sequencer workflow is super quick in the way it is shown here. Better learn all the shortcuts. CTRL+D (duplicate?) is a must it seems, for example. Also some really nice info with tricks used for the bassdrum and snare plus the pump effect for the bass (Although the latter is also used a lot in EDM with sidechaining). Subscribed.

Watching this I realized how much extra work I have been creating for myself in projects. Thank you soo much.

There aren’t many reason tutorials these days. I almost lost hope until I came across this. I’m still switching to ableton but at least I found this video today!

Awesome tutorial. Very inspirational. Thanks for sharing the power tips. Definitely learned a bunch :)

Oh my god! I would listen the f*ck out of that track. Just discovered your channel, and this is just awesome. Thank you SO much for this tutorial, and I hope you do more of these. Maybe happy hardcore next?

When I click Retrigger in Europa (2:35) why doesn't the note repeat itself?

I have used Reason for years, and I had no idea 'create parallel channel' was a thing that existed. 🤷‍♂️👏

MAKE ANOTHER ONE :) one with a lead, like those crazy resonant swells and funky keys

Great tips for any production, not only synthwave. Really enjoyed this one. Looking forward for next video.

ive been making jump up drum and bass and my drums were sounding thin .ive applied this to my kick and now sounds like it fits in the mix much better this was very helpful very good tutorail

Nice job!

Quality tutorial Paul! Love Reason and will definately subscribe.

amazing .

Sounds fantastic! Already picked up a few techniques I'll want to add to my production repertoire :)
