When a young Benoit Heitz saw a friend’s computer running Reason he had an epiphany: “His computer isn’t better than my parent’s computer. That means I could be making music.” He started out not knowing the first thing about drums or music in general. Three years later he was touring the world as an international DJ.
When Uprock Audio in Sacramento, California got their hands on the new Balance with Reason Essentials package they set about on a new creative project. The plan was simple enough: They wanted to record a song with a local artist, produce it, then sample it, remix it, and turn it into a second entirely new hip hop song… all in one day!
Reasoncourses.com is the latest joint venture from sample boutique Loopmasters and online music production academy Producertech LTD. It is a new website which features two online Reason video courses for beginners, intermediate and advanced level students, which has been designed and delivered by qualified trainer Rob Jones.
When Jordan Atkins-Loria (DJ Lucky Date) was introduced to Reason, he instantly recognized the potential of its synths and set about to master them. Originally following tutorials he found online, Lucky Date began making his own tutorials which showcased his penchant for modern electro dance synths in Reason. As his tutorials grew in popularity, so did his career as a DJ and Producer.
Users have been waiting for this a couple of months now, since the announcement, but now they have arrived. The new versions and products Propellerhead have announced a while ago. You can get or upgrade to version 6 of the Reason DAW software now. Or pick up a copy of Reason Essentials, with or without the Balance audio interface.
Propellerhead Software today announced that for limited time owners of its flagship Record–Reason Duo product will be able to purchase the Reason 6 upgrade at whatever price they choose, starting at $1.00 / €1.00.
Reason 6 introduces three new creative effect devices: Pulveriser, Alligator, and The Echo. In this micro tutorial you’ll get a look at the Alligator Triple Filtered Gate. Gates are commonly found in electronic dance music and are widely loved by producers and audiences, alike. They add rhythm and texture to otherwise flat sounds like pads and sustained chords. A well-crafted gate pattern can make up the hook for a catchy track. In this tutorial, we’ll introduce you to gate effects done “Alligator style” and show you a few ways to use them in your own music, regardless of what genre you make.
Kirsten Price‘s music is likely already familiar to you. With TV licensing placements to high profile shows on VH1 and MTV, Price has thrived in the modern music business landscape where publishing is the key to longevity. Her style is eclectic, yet focused. Whether it’s a rock track, a pop ballad, or a hip hop tinged beat it sounds decidedly like a Kirsten Price track. In the video she also takes us through a recent track of hers produced in Reason.
The Pulveriser plugin is one of the three new effect devices within Reason 6, next to the Alligator en the Echo. In this micro tutorial Propellerhead take a look at the Pulveriser. Pulveriser is a sound demolition unit capable of destroying your signal but before you turn those knobs up to eleven, I wanted to show you that Pulveriser also excels at being an audio sweetener. In today’s world of pristine digital recording, meticulously sampled instruments, and quantized MIDI it’s sometimes necessary to add a little color and grit to your otherwise perfect material.
