5 Things to Do Every Song in Reason (Number 4 is Essential)

[@kevinphillips6333]

Cool. Thanks for the reminders. I do love audiomatic, the scratches and dirt filters and the radio functions are gotos. You asked for suggestions, so here goes… Input stage gaining is an important one, to roughly balance levels of channels/samples/synths before you even start using faders. Faders should be used as fine tuning and to have channel volumes flow during the mix. Grouping/bussing can be a lifesaver in both DSP and the way sounds interact. You usually want your 8 violins all in the same space, so group em up and put effects on the group - saves cpu and sounds more natural. Maybe it’s worth doing these 6 top tips for different genres. Because each will have different priorities and considerations. EDM doesn’t work at all without sidechaining these days and classical music sounds awful without positioning instruments even halfway correctly ;)

[@StockMusicMusician]

Great idea and great tips!

[@gainesdominique]

There's a channel I think called Learn Reason or something. He has a video on Gain Staging. Highly recommend it. 👌 Oh plus the Reason Studios video on levels.

[@Amazology]

Audiomatic rocks ! And what a great way to think about your instrumantation . CHARACHTER

[@stykzmusic]

Thanks Man!! Great videos. Def always somethin to learn. Been using reason for a few years and always very creative things you can do. btw love the FX bus as sends videos too;) that alone made a difference in my mixes.. Stay chill

[@gainesdominique]

Agreed. The FX bus is next level.

[@rolfedrengen]

Great that you mentioned the thing about creating an illusion of the elements are "recorded" the same place, or placed in the same room. This technique can let you get away with all sorts of things, like making everything very dry without the track loosing power, or very long thick reverbs (like "tak me to church") without sounding cheezy. Thanks for a great video! You have a very inspiring style and easy way to make complex things easy to understand!

[@BillyBanter100]

I haven't used audiomatic for years. Many thanks for reminding me what a useful effect this is. Also using the Reason rack plugin its possible to use it in other daws as well.

[@cadaverkev]

Wow! Really invaluable tools demonstrated. Thanks for the tips! 🤘

[@StockMusicMusician]

You're so welcome

[@catherineevans576]

Wow. These are great tips. Thanks AGAIN!

[@StockMusicMusician]

You’re welcome!

[@DonVincenzooGame]

[@StockMusicMusician]

Fair enough!

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

9:42 Its Stereo dynamics and a must in every song.

[@StockMusicMusician]

You said it!

[@adoseofmetal1]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

[@StockMusicMusician]

You bet

[@markgivens2557]

How do you use the template do you send out stems then bring them into the template?

[@gainesdominique]

Thx

[@DrGameTazo]

Instrument Bus Side chain by Kick.that is what I cam understand. But Mater bus Side chain by Kick.it confus me. The kick also be compressed....Does it not turn out NO Effect at all?

[@FireAtWill253]

10:25 saving this for later..

[@Higgzmusik]

what percentage of character should i use?

[@tonalcry]

Why do you not use Selig Gain to flip between stereo and mono?

[@StockMusicMusician]

That’s another way you can do it!

[@TheBlackJewelz]

Hey man I’m trying to find a controller that’s integrated to Reason basically out of the box. I have a Novation Launchkey MK3 49 key & a Korg NanoKontrol 2, both of which can control the gadgets in the Master section, but I’m looking for a controller that can control the input gain knobs all the way at the top-without having to map every single one to a knob. Especially since the controller only has 8 knobs/faders and some of my sessions have upwards of 30 tracks. My aim is making gainstaging my sessions a lot easier and faster, instead of having to use the freaking trackpad with my fingers on every single gain knob.

[@StockMusicMusician]

The Nektar keyboards are the best for native support of Reason

[@andrewgreatorexmusic]

@@StockMusicMusician 100%. I have the Panarama P4 and Impact LX25+. Never looked back.

[@aquelay]

Very useful and helpful tips! The demo songs is a bit hard to listen to for 30 minutes..

[@StockMusicMusician]

No doubt it is! But I thought the changes would be more evident if folks could hear them on a song they were familiar with!

[@aquelay]

@@StockMusicMusician Still a helpful vid. With so many different videos we often overlook the essentials. I appreciate your work!

[@GarryGDJ]

Thank you 👍

[@MrMllx]

I would like to do the trick where you have a guitar on one side and the reverb send panned to the other side. Does not seem to be a way to pan sends in Reason. So to do this it seems like i would need separate 'verbs for each guitar. Am missing something?

[@StockMusicMusician]

Search for my video on “how to use sends the right way in Reason” and it will show you how to pan sends!

Hey diudue where's the template .. keep getting a massive ad

Hey Stuart, try looking in your email inbox or junk mail folder, I'm pretty sure you'll find a link there mate!

[@stuartcry]

@@astro-decon3016 thank you sir all sorted

[@StockMusicMusician]

Thanks @astro-decon for replying! Sorry for the late response, I was on a trip!

[@grasshopper808]

Why is your reverb up so high

[@grasshopper808]

Oh must be on a solo sound

[@grasshopper808]

Defanetly do a vidio I will watch

I got reason 10. Its started to cut off certain sounds in the middle of them playing. I recorded what it is doing and put it in this youtube video. kzbin.info0CORI4VF4qE?si=anJhU7CDfeI39gvH

[@Gabrielland150]

Typical example of being technical and not musical. People confuse producing with mixing because of this concept of work. C64 music composers like Rob Hubbard was musical genius and there was no technicality at all. No offense mate this piece of work I would bin before I start it.

[@distantgalaxymusic1447]

I know this is about effects and mixing space but that beat is whack.

[@StockMusicMusician]

Yea, sometimes it's hard to find a good example track to use.
