Song in Reason only challenge+ Reason Livestream coming! 

Sonically, Maschine and Reason are my two favorites. Thanks for posting!

Who remembers ”Record” and ”ReCycle”? Who still own and use ReCycle? This guy 😎🥃

Sounds great as always, Jef! Looking forward to having you on the livestream! :D

Reason is my favoured DAW ... beside Maschine....Sometimes I use 2 Maschine instances inside of Reason with two Maschine Controllers it is fun for live use.Reason is powerful and for me it is very easy to use because of the look of real hardware. You are able to use lots of USB/MIDI Controllers simultaniously, like a Hardware-Keyboardstand and jam also like that. All controls are named correctly and so on. I really appreciate your trip back to Reason and your working inside this program , because to win from your adjucation afterwards. ;o)

Cubase and Reason 2.5 is where I started 😎🥃

As always, thanks for sharing and inspiring, I appreciate you Jeff.

Reason 12 ... will make history 4 sure !!!

Interesting. I really looking forward to the stream! I worked in Reason before. My last Reason version was 9.5, but it was very slow and buggy with handeling VSTS. Last year i switched to Cubase pro 10, and last week i bought Reason 11 standard on black friday sale! It's very smooth now! I really like the VST racks if i work in Cubase. They add alot of new instruments and some features. I really like the Mixer in Reason. It's great for mixing and mastering! The SSL S9000k simulation sounds so good! There are some cons to Reason . The MIDI editor. It's outdated and needs much more functionality compared to the featured DAWS nowdays. I think this is the Reason, it's not in the top 3 of best DAWS. Cubase is still king when it comes to MIDI editing! And as you say Reason lacks shortcut customization. There are some achievable under options, keyboard control edit mode. Every function with a arrow is assignable under a key command. But this is very limited.. Again, really looking forward to the chat and experience as a Cubase user!

The way you evaluate software is so intuitive and respectful. Very pleasant. You mentioned that the vocals may need recording again, but I my ears enjoyed it. The vocal tone and ambiance reminds me of a jazz/hip-hop club when I lived in St. Louis. It was located downtown in one of the buildings basement. A nostalgic sound for me indeed. Maybe try changing the ambiance of the instruments to match the vocals instead? Great job as always Jeff. God Bless.

I love Reason. It's been a while since I've had the pleasure due to an unforseen hiatus. Just pull my new home production studio together and Reason Rack was added. It's great that you mentioned Ave McCree, he's one of my favorites.

Started my DAW experience with Opcode Vision in the early eighties. Not much to work with, but 'in the door" so to speak. Then took a seventeen year hiatus from music biz. Jumped back in with Reason 7 because in was familiar to me owing to it's old-school-style "patchbay" paradigm and SSL-like mixer. Stayed Reason until version 10.5, but needed more flex with editing and console setup. Poked around in many a DAW and ended up in Studio One which, eventually absorbed a Reason 11 instrument and effects rack. Also, though Studio One comes with Melodyne Essentials, as I already have an up-to-date Reason setup, I return there inevitably for vocal and other pitch correction duties. So, still a Reason guy, in particular for the Rack which is one of my "go to" sound design tools for each song I endeavor.

Nice, looking forward to the livestream & tune breakdown! Also, it would be killer if we could compose the windows like you have without separating and then painfully aligining them together - the way Reason forces you to use "stacked" view is really 90's when 4:3 monitors were the mainstream and it made sense.

Thanks for the video Jef. Did you have any issues with remote control when working with Reason? While I love how Reason looks, its weak remote mapping has kept me from making more extensive use of it. Studio One has great remote mapping and I'd expect that Cubase has the same. Was it distracting to move from one to the other?

Yeah jeff! Glad you found it helpful. Affordable little tool for the box.

Didn’t know my mom was in this. Cool!

Good one, thx for sharing.

I made a setting with a template that can change the s(49)mk2 in a full reason controller. It uses a normal synth, mackie settings and mackie adjustments. You can use the scroll wheel to scroll through your song. You can switch between maschine in reason and reason only with full control pushing 1 knob. It´s really cool but i´m not a podcast guy. If you would like, i can write the steps out maybe ,so you can make a podcast. So much more stuff you can do, and have thought hard about it, like standard the 1st 4 encoders are for the combinator, the 4 others are for overdub etc. Just let me now. Pretty sure people with this gear would go crazy about it.

bring it on!

I'm like you, I started on Reason 1 and now I use it for the rack plugin from Ableton Live and Cubase. I just upgraded to Reason Suite. You should get a ref code for Plugin Boutique. I'd use it to support you next purchase because I enjoy your videos. I used your NI one for expansions.

Awesome. I have noticed years and years of bias... there are thousands and thousands of music makers and producers that do not think that Reason Studios is good enough to make professional level musical art and saleable product/content. Please prove them wrong.

Jef, do you ever use melodyne?

6:40 I use Maschine within Reason. I find it to be more efficient IMO 🥃

Hi Jef, how are you? Hope all is well at your end. I see a record player next to your midi keyboard. what brand is that and do you use it to record vinyl for samples?

I like reason much better than any DAW. Switched from cubase

What can be communicated to Reason Studios to guide them in making the software as good as Cubase, Ableton Live, or Studio One?

Automation clips are the best in Reason.

Looks like you have Blocks enabled. How did you use them in this project?

Use izotope Deverb. No more Reverb on your talent vocals. Too easy.
