Hey ! I have been asked many times in the comments for more Reason 12 related videos, so here's a lengthy video on my Reason 12 jungle production techniques. I pretty much just go through a track i have recently made, and showing what i do and my philosophy on my workflow. Read the description for the Reason 12 project file download.
I guess I'm a bit late to the party, but: great video! Just bought AMIGO after your latest vid and am having lots of fun with classic DnB beat mangling 😎 - thanks for all the inspiration!
..I like your humor..I am talking about the oldschool vibe 🤣 I know exactly what you wanted to say with it..but I also always have the feeling I am 'preaching' it too much 😆 and again, an awesome track at the end ❤
great video and thanks for all the wisdom, IJO! I enjoyed the track as well! I will learn as much as i can from the project file. Thanks for sharing!! Be well and stay safe, my friend!
I'm back 😂 firstly, Thanks for another great video. Secondly, thanks for the project file, I can learn a lot from the nnxt patches, look forward to the next video ❤
Love the vid! I used Reason in the early 2000s and made a lot of music with it but I agree, it never had the hardware sound I was after. The closest I've got is using the following 3 softsamplers: -Sonic Charge Cyclone (amazing emulation and free) -Emu X3 (windows only / find it on internet archive) -TAL-Sampler (not sure about the s1000 accuracy but has cyclic stretch!) I run these through PSP infinistrip and put softube tape on master bus using Ableton Live. PS I would love your opinion on the s1000 mode in TAL-Sampler.
I'm not even a reason user but still highly interesting to watch 👍 How's mix translation working for you? Do you check your tracks on different speakers and possibly make some adjustments or does it just work right away?
Hey. I rarely check my mixes on other systems. But i should do that. I was listening to some of my already released tracks on my car speakers the other day and i didn't like some mixdowns, felt like bottom end needed some changes.
Hey. I'll try making a video about it. In fact i made a video called "how i chop amen" . I don't chop in nnxt, i chop in soundforge, and then load those chops in to nnxt, and i do exactly same programming on my akai s1000.
Hey, thanks a lot for this tips. I want to start make jungle music and this video helped me a lot :) for me jungle is revolution which music needs today :D
Haha bro i was feeling your rant that you faded out. I was ready to hear more. You're exactly right about capturing that old school diy vibe with minimal tracks. Shit, they where only working with 4 tracks on the amiga protracker
Wicked tune! I miss this vibe so badly. Out of curiosity how did you learn your craft back in the day? Did you intuitively figure it out yourself or did someone show you? Great tutorial by the way, thanks for sharing the knowledge
Hey, thanks for tuning in :) I started recording my music when i was 6, that was in 1989, all i have used then was an acoustic piano that i had while growing up, a reel to reel recorder and i microphone Bit later, i got my first Casio synthesizer, i came up with all sots of multitracking ideas like using a couple of reel to reel / cassette recorders at once, recording live takes and stuff. When i was 12 i saved up enough money to go to a real studio and make my first proper recordings. That was early 90s, i was mostly just standing in the studio full of hardware and just showing another guy who was running the studio, what notes to play, while he was doing all the other technical stuff for me. The studio aspect didn't impress me at the time, other than this was the only way to record your music for me. Once i got my first PC at the age of 15, i could finally make my own "proper" music at home, but it took me forever to figure everything out myself. VSTs weren't around just yet, so my first recordings sound bad, i have tapes of my first attempts to make jungle at 15 :D So slowly i was building my skills, and as software programs evolved, so did I. Yet, most of what I do now, comes from me figuring out things back then, and in a way I still make music pretty much same way as I did some 25 years ago.
