Add chord track to Reason 12

Somehow I missed this when you originally posted it. I just upgraded to 11 Suite last night. Happy beyond belief. Loved your Synthwave and Vaporwave Reason videos.

Excellent as usual. Well-explained and inspiring.

Clear concise with no unnecessary padding, well presented.

Rewatched and Learned some new stuff in the last section! More Reason please, Paul! Genre breakdowns like the UK Garage, Vaporwave, prod. techniques whatever

Great presentation of devices and features. I really liked how you presented devices in different scenarios. Thank you.

last time i used reason in 1998. I m going to get the 11 suite. Thx for inspiering me. Take care.

Thank you Paul! Your videos help me a lot in my own progress with Reason.

Reason and Reaper are the only DAWs out of the dozens I've been through that I find straightforward and whose layouts are nonconvoluted and sensible enough for me to be able to use them second-naturedly without having to babysit a DAW rather than being free to mainly keep my mind on doing tracks.

Wow Paul excellent video! I have been Reason user since version 1 and recently I moved to Logic using Reason as VST but now it looks like Reason is so cool and powerful I'm gonna be using it again and again!

Excellent video once again, Paul! Very useful and insightful. Cheers!

Hi Paul, Loved the video! I currently have version 10 (latest). After watching your video I might just have to upgrade. Cheers!

The song at the end is so beautiful! Thank you for this good tutorial!

quality video of new Reason 11 features 👍

This is awesome man thanks so much!

Up to this point I have held back on upgrading to Reason 11. This video has given me some things to think about. It occurs to me that even with ALL the rack extensions I have the upgrade just may be in the works.

Love the "cookbook" format Paul! Explain the creative issue you are dealing with, show a solution in action, and move onto the next topic.

Exactly the video I was looking for!! Thank you :) Ok I'm convinced to upgrade from 10 to 11....now watch as they release reason 12 next week...doh! lol.

Please more Reason video's like this - Thank You!

Very nice explanation. Thanks. Would love to learn how to make music like that, especially the ambient sounds at the end of the video.

thanks for helping me decide!

Victor Donati Hoestly give it a try. All songs are written to a structure and time frame and Blocks is fantastic at arranging or rearranging songs or ideas

Tio be completely honest, all that was demonstrated is all posible in old classic reason devices, this is basically a more modern approach of how we use to do things back when reason was a simple rack, in order to achieve some of this results you have to do some wiring experimentation and some CV as well, but for me the sweeper tends to do be more experimental and more flexible than the new flanger quarted witch is nice that they included a frecuency especific section.

These tutorials aimed at the advanced Reason user fill a real void. How can we support you in making more of those, Paul? Masterclass videos (e.g., Mr. Bill for Ableton), Patreon?

Hi there! Thanks for sharing it! May I ask how can I use reason to play multiple songs as you do in the video? Thanks again!

Hey! Oh I just sequenced a bunch of different song sections all within the same project and put the instruments for them in their own rack columns (click and drag on to the wooden divider to make new columns).

why reason look so sharp in your video...on my daw it looks blurry like always..because its not compatible to 4k hidpi

how did you time stretch the automation?

Can you automate pitch on samples past 12 semitones up or down? That's one feature I feel is still missing.

@PaulOrtiz

4 жыл бұрын

Ah still only 12. I guess you could keep a copy of the original at the end of the project (or maybe in an unused block?) and then shift 12, bounce to new recording, shift 12. Or depending how long it is, just Grain it.

Good video. In my opinion, Reason would be way better if it included stuff like limiters, better maximizers, direction mixers, multi-band compressors, sub-bass effects, etc. Logic is way better for mixing and mastering. It has a lot of stuff that you don’t get in Reason. However, these past two years .... it’s incredible how much I’ve been getting inspired to make beats in Reason. I’ve been using Reason since version 2.5, and I’ve made hundreds of beats over the years. I was nearly going to stop using Reason when I was using Reason 9, but when 10 was released I was very inspired to carry on making beats. I wasn’t that impressed with the new features in Reason 11 though as in DAWs like Logic Pro, all of that stuff could be done since Logic Pro 7 ... hell even in versions before that. Reason still has a long way to surpass Logic and Pro Tools. I prefer using Reason for making beats ... and Logic for recording, mixing and mastering.

@PaulOrtiz

Thanks! Whatever workflow works for you is the right one. I know people who write in one DAW and mix in Reason, or vice versa. I don't think the intention is ever to match the likes of Logic any more than Logic has any intention of matching Reason. Just different tools I guess. That said I hear you on the built in multi-band compressor! Obviously you can build, or buy one. But it'd be nice if there was a dedicated device. With ya on that one :)

You’re welcome. Yeah, they’re completely different and have always been used for different things.

I totally respect your opinion. Your videos are excellent. I'm just confused how Reason could be your favorite sequencer. The rack? Awesome. Mixer? It's good to great. The sequencer and overall DAW features seem pretty far behind options like Cubase, S1, Logic, Live, etc.

@PaulOrtiz

4 жыл бұрын

I think it depends what I’m writing. If I’m using CV sequencers, Players, pattern devices and lots of automation the integration with the sequencer is just so fluid and easy (Reason’s automation is so much better than Cubase with clip behaviour and static values). There are some things where obviously Cubase is a more sensible option (if I need things like expression maps for example). I’d say the main things I *need* in Reason’s sequencer are folder tracks and MIDI note chase/preview on nudge. Honestly that’d be all I’d need. I don’t do a lot of audio editing. And Players fill in a lot of the gaps like auto theory, step recording, etc. Hope this explains it a little better! But totally agree there’s room for improvement :)

@@PaulOrtiz That does explain, thanks. There isn't something that has Reason's weird mix of CV, interesting rack extensions, and the players. I really like Reason, and I'm excited the direction it's going. Development seems to be moving faster too. Please do consider a video where you go over how you use players. That would be awesome.

Quartet breaks Reasons realistic devices model because when device mode is switched it changes the face of the device which cant happen in real life. I guess it could represent a change of front panel.

the email that sent me here had the worst title: "You’ve heard about the Reason plugin, but what about the DAW?" If you only know Reason as a plugin, then you don't know what Reason is at all. are people really paying 200+ for this software and not understanding what it is?
