What a solid casual production. Mimic is just the best ready sampler available today.

I've been a drummer for 25 years and was introduced to Cubase when I was 17 but never got into it. I was then introduced to Reason and Logic when I was 19 and never got into those either. 13 years later and I somehow went absolutely crazy for Ableton and have been addicted to it for the last 4 years. I've just decided to check out the Reason plugin and MAN I wish I had explored it more when I was 19. Better late than never.....

@deathknell5167 yeah that makes a lot of sense. I was coming in as a live instrument performer so Reason use of practical plug ins just made so much sense to me. Ableton just felt very geared towards DJs and live electronic performance that it didn't clock with me.

Reason is one amazing DAW... They make the software feel like your in a real studio, and mimic is a very good addition to the reason family... I hope to god within the future of Reasons DAW THEY CHANGE THE THEMES IN THE D.A.W AND SEQUENCER AND MIXER but the overall D.A.W is amazing!!! I love it they are one of the leaders in the industry!!!🔥🔥💯💯

7:18 we need a whole version of this please. Love the sound.

I have not used reason in many years. I love it. I cannot believe how far they have come. This is incredible.

Ryan- you are a true talent in the creative realm and an absolute gift to the Reason team!

100% agreed 👍

I never knew the Reason is not alike. It is unique and got its own lane. Especially that Objekt modelling synth, damn man!

I just bought Reason 12 yesterday after seeing all it has to offer now. I'm a 36 year old going back for his Masters degree, so I got Reason+ 12 for only $99. Reason 3 was my first DAW I bought back in 2007. I learned so much from it. I had only used things like the Korg Triton before that, but that keyboard wasn't mine, so I had to part ways when I left my parent's house after high school. I only switched from Reason to Reaper in 2009 because Reason 3 didn't allow audio recording at that time. I've went through a ton of DAWs since then. Currently using Pro Logic X since 2018. But I'm happy that I've decided to switch back to Reason. And so happy I can now use all my plugins with it, as well all my outboard synths and drum machines. The reason why I also love Reason is the built-in SSL like mixer. I don't like using so many plugins. I value being able to mix on a board. Rather it be analog or a built-in one that resembles an analog one. Which is one of the reason why I used Cakewalk Sonar for years (in the past before switching from PC to Mac).

There is no other Music making software like REASON on this Planet. Period! - From a 20+ years reason user. (Although I only use it as a Rack Plugin / REWIRE)

Man, thank you for this content. This is helpful, we need a lot more content from Reason on how to use all the tools

This is exactly what I had suggested not too long ago. We needed a flexible/modern sampler ala Ableton and bitwig. One of the few things I'm excited for. Lazy chop should be on the list of updates for mimic, lazy chop should be a feature for mimic. Read the sentence before this one Reason.

Excellent video. Very well explained. Unlike the other videos out there where the person seems confused or unprepared.

Loved this tutorial! This is what I have been trying to do in the NNXT for so long. Mimic makes it easier!!! Cant wait!!!

Thank you for this, I've always used NN-XT as my default sampler (mostly because I was using an older version of Reason) and just started messing around with Mimic recently. This is a huge help. I've always loved that weird chopped up vocal sound but could never quite get it to the point I was shooting for, so now I'm super excited to get in and try these techniques out.

I cannot stress enough what a great video this was. One of the best showcase vids I have ever seen on youtube. Very happy Reason+ subscriber.

I use many many many samples and this has me more excited than things I cannot mention here. Excellent work!

Time to dig out all those sample CDs from 20 years ago I think... Nice one, ReasonStudios!

Brilliant ! This is the kind of innovative creative tools that made me use Propellerhead for a decade, and exactly what I have been expecting when subscribing to reason+ 🙏🏽

I have never used a sampler but this mimic thing has me hooked now. And they way you explain it is very very good. From now on I am creating my own instruments from samples.

Awesome!!!!! I was wanting this device in Reason 12 a few days ago, and now here it is! I love surprises

This is what I've been waiting for! - Recycle grows up and becomes Mimic! NICE WORK! This is awesome! Thank you for great videos on how to use this amazing software.

Great job guys! Looking forward for Reason 12 :)

Great job! Drum sampler and slicer we ever wanted.

Thanks Ryan for this great video. I'm always amazed of how good Reason instruments sound.

Hey Ryan, I've been away from your videos and Reason for a few years. This was a great video and showcase for new tools and ideas in active use! I really enjoyed and was inspired by it! Thanks dude!

Absolutely love this 😀 just started using mimic today and this is incredibly helpful 👌 thanks!

Great work done, thanks for creating and explaining!

This is like the 5th time I’ve been back to view this video. Great info and a great Mimic reference video. From someone that grew up off sampling.

Got so many goosebumps when those hang drum chords came in under the vocal chops! Reason+ here I come.

Now I might start using samples too :). This looks great, guys!

You’re golden my man. This is such great content!

im glad that there are stereo multi outs on this. could be a replacement for redrum.

I was skeptical of what this new sampler would entail but gotta say I'm very impressed. 7 things I was very much hoping it had and 4 (3 of which NN-XT doesn't have) I know it has from this video:- Playing a sample up and down the keyboard without it changing speed, layering samples and transient detection with sensitivity. I now need to find out if the other 3 are there - tempo detect, tempo match and key detection but doesn't immediate seem so at first glance. However, if these features aren't in Mimic, it could be rectified if in Reason 12 you add tempo detect, tempo match and key detection of audio in the sequencer and allow to be easily just dragged into Mimic.

dude you blow my mind with that last mix. fantastic job !

Thanks again for this video - always a good reference to come back to

Reason is the perfect tool to nerd out with! I love making my own samples & then manipulating them so I can throw them in Dr. Octo Rex. Mimic looks like an incredible way to enhance this process!

I’ll try to sum it up: It’s basically grain advanced. The sampler has no pitch recognition, so I need to know in advance what key my sample is in. As much as I like the functionality of this device, this is one important feature missing for a sampler. Imho. I was afraid, when they announced it, that this would be missing. I hope the new combinator is more thought through.
