Acid techno in Reason 12 (a safari into CRUNCH)

Let's test out Reason 12, by making some acid techno! It's been about 15 years since I last opened Reason, so let's rediscover it together and put together some squelchy 303s over some rumbly techno.

Haha! Reason 1.0 experience meets Reason 12.0!! This was a fun watch, and even gave me some interesting insights to how people returning to Reason approach the newer features and workflow. Great vid!! /ryan

[@jankalinowski6767]

Fuck! That vid i meen b General guyble ist members only!

[@twatmunro9563]

Have the Redrum samples ever been updated? They sound like the samples from Reason 2.5 to me.

[@gb4643]

im wondering, do you guys at reason plan to make the licensing a bit more user friendly? like a copy paste from email and no internet connection required? id love to buy reason plugin but this is a bit off putting

[@Artek604]

@@twatmunro9563 Probably not, but there's been tons of samples added e.g. for Kong + there's Drum Supply pack that was added in v10

[@samueldecker2406]

@@twatmunro9563 Hell yes they did. They didn't take the old samples away, but they added a TON more with Reason 10.

[@Mike_Benz_]

You should definitely make more Reason videos as you look like you were really enjoying using it again.

[@mathijsvandersanden316]

Fun and inspirational to watch. Really cool! More Reason workflow please!

[@ramikhandakji3710]

Reason forever! Forever reason!

[@craste2000]

Yes, yes! more Reason content videos please, makes such a change from the sea of Ableton videos! Keep’em coming!

[@rustyreview]

wow a video for Reason! thanks for that. This couldn't be more needed.

[@janmoyen]

Yes!! Delighted to see you using Reason, you’ll be amazed by some of the new stuff. More reason stuff please!

[@Bhodisatvas]

You didn't have to go through all that trouble to make kick delay, main SSL kick mixer channel -> right click -> create parallel channel and done. You can make 303 sounds with a multitude of stock devices or simply get 3rd party dedicated devices like the ABL3. You have barely scratched the surface of what Reason can do these days, it is an amazing bit of software and the rack can also work as a plugin in Ableton if you don't want to use Reason's sequencer. Enjoy!

[@esIworld]

One of the reasons (no pun intended) i am sticking with Reason is the sequencer.

[@alphanumeric1529]

Too little, decades too late!

[@drBROner]

Definitely produce some more Reason work! I really think Reason deserves even more attention than it already gets.

[@raul.77]

OMG, love to see you using Reason, it's my DAW. I really appreciate if you share more videos using it!!! Super Fan of your channel!!! Cheers from Barcelona!

[@extraterrestrialexcrement530]

You Had Lots Of Fun Creating In This Video With Reason. 🤘🥳

[@deeorlando6536]

Fun fact, DJ Pierre, the inventor of acid is a reason user, it's his main DAW.

[@VNDM-MUSIC]

Well than Reason should have a native 303.

[@skunkyhigh5]

@@VNDM-MUSIC i second that

[@VNDM-MUSIC]

@@skunkyhigh5 I use Ableton myself but would recommend the ABL3 rack for Reason. I use ABL3 as vst and my RE-303 for proper acid.

[@gnuttz1972]

There’s was a legal claim by Roland I believe back when Rebirth was binned.

[@philgolden8619]

@@gnuttz1972 Roland in general are extremely anal about emulations, who could blame too they received no royalties from iconic sounds used in so many tracks so their main income has to come from their hardware.

Finally you're on reason, praise the acid lord. Keep banging out some reason videos man.

I'm so excited too :D

great reason video. not that many of quality on youtube for techno.looking forward to more!

[@gassy2657]

I find Reason very creative in my workflow and come up with sounds I don’t intend to create but sound great . Please add more content and tutorials with Reason 👍👍

[@AcidCortex1]

Thank you for this! I was watching the rumble vid and was wondering how to do it in Reason. More reason please :)

[@eskodemusic]

Nice surprise to see reason being used on this channel. I’ve been a big fan since version 1. Thumbs up ;)

[@EnochLight]

@Underdog Electronic Music School - very cool video! Yes, more Reason videos please!

[@Ryan-id9rj]

Literally the best thing I’ve see all year. As a primary reason user I’ve been having to translate all your ableton videos into reason. This was so cool to watch. I would pay for a techno walk through similar to your latest ableton techno walk through too. AMAZING stuff mate 😁😁😁

[@WillHatton]

I loved seeing your genuine reaction to the changes of Reason 12 compared to Reason 2.5, it was super playful and enjoyable to watch! Would be excited to see a playlist separate to your tutorials where you just try new stuff!

[@shawncarr8387]

I second this.

[@michaelvandersteen7188]

Cool to see how you react to the Echo :) Great you put a Reason tutorial -thumbs up-

[@JosBlomsma]

Yes, please! Loved this walk-through.

[@artemisnite]

I'm deep diving your old vids and just wanted to drop a huge thank you for all the invaluable instruction. Thanks, Oscar!

[@peterbakker9531]

Use Reason as a vst3 plugin in Ableton both worlds in one!

[@VNDM-MUSIC]

never thought of that, will try!

[@rollinwood9453]

This is the way

[@djsimson]

Nice one. Last time i used Reason was 2007. All the maschines look very familiar^^

[@tehedx]

Knowing what to do makes all the difference; you made more quality with a (partly) unknown tool in one video than what I did in years!

[@chrislamb2690]

I too have reason 12 from a long stay out of this world . About dropped out my seat when I saw a tutorial from you ! Perfect timing .

[@SonareDJ]

You should definitely try Reason as a vst inside Ableton, it’s a marriage made in heaven. I would 100% watch more Reason content asks I use both DAWS routinely 🖤

[@vindizna5703]

I guess that's setup is a CPU killer, or maybe I'm wrong? Would like to use Reason inside Ableton, it's so interesting in terms of sound design an workflow, also it looks amazing!

[@thinknumbers7718]

I love it will check out reason. Hours of fun.

[@thedelaylama1379]

yeah i love reason!!! i use it since 2002

[@Macacos]

I love reason and loved see you explore. Please do more!

[@samueldecker2406]

As a Reason lover, I tip my hat to you. It's great to see you having fun rediscovering it. So many more things I would enjoy seeing you explore. Like how extensively you can edit and create drum sounds in Kong. Or creating pulsating sounds in Europa. Or reinventing samples in Mimic. Especially for someone with your expertise. That could be a popular series, because of how much you would be genuinely loving it. And so would we all.

[@OscarUnderdog]

Hey Samuel! I'm happy to say I'll be doing quite a few more Reason videos in the future :) I'm stoked, and very curious to explore these new tools!

[@PeanutButterAM]

I lost it when he said “oh, cute” 😂😂😂 Reason is 100% one of the best production softwares out, for sure.

[@alanjupiter]

More Reason stuff pleeeeeease!!!!!!!! I'm a heavy user of Reason since version 1.0 and I'd love to see you explore it now1

[@jryanmark]

Love using reason rack as a plug in and recording output as audio into ableton and then using like loops in a sample pack.

[@AUTOSAD777]

Oh man oh man oh man!

[@K4g4m1]

I have a simple tip for using Reason and that is to reset devices you add unless you specifically want to use/edit a preset.

[@vicioussuspicious894]

Yes, thank you!

[@spiritwisher]

I love his reaction to the different effects, Its there's just so much pleasure in making a sound that really hits

[@____s6_]

More Reason man! I've switched to Reason from FL studio about ten months ago and boy it's amazing. I like to call it Techno Generating Machine 😈

[@atohms]

Sure expand! I hate ableton for being too pro. Reason looks like way more fun.

[@kektex01]

Looking for some really unusual and weird sounds? Give a try to this leftlover in Reason : Maelstrom !

Keep it coming! Subscribed

[@lenglain]

This was so fun to watch but you approached Reason the "old" way. THey now have "players" that do all sorts fo crazy stuff, like you could've used one of those sequencers instead of matrix. There's the Beatmap as well to generate beats and monster synths like Thor and Europa.

[@slinky576]

We all loved reason, be about the same sort of time I last opened it too! Might actually go get it for a change of scenery daw wise 👍

[@megatraum420]

[@antr611]

Great video Oscar, loved how excited you were revisiting some familiar and some not so areas of the Reason rack. Reason is really under supported from a techno (and dance music in general) point of view great to see that maybe you will be doing more with it as your videos are always informative. Looks like this video is popular enough to consider it 👍

[@rhytmicaloverdose]

special thanks from a reason fan! )

Yes man!!! Please give us more Reason content videos!!! Best wishes!!!

[@BellucciLust]

More Reason videos. There’s already a million and one Ableton videos.

[@silverfiltersoundlab]

Been bingeing on your videos the past weeks and especially thrilled to see you using Reason. Glad to see you enjoying it . It’s changed a lot for sure hope you could explore more of it. I’m pretty sure you’d enjoy using it as a plug-in too seeing how you enjoyed the other native devices like Echo and Pulveriser

[@raphaelfuchs8222]

16 year old me also started out with a "second hand copy" of reason 2.5 (and rebirth) seems like a lifetime ago…

[@Carlho80]

Haha me too had a lot of “second hand” software when I was 16 😂

[@friedliebfrohgemuth2144]

Years ago I spent hundreds of hours with Reason 2. Today I have a small DAWless setup. But Reason is kind of a DAWless DAW. Version 12 sounds tempting. Would be great to see more of it! And thanks for all your great videos, Oscar! It is a real techno revelation 😎

[@Lion4de]

Absolutely I would love to see more Reason stuff!!

[@KattKirsch]

Even now with my actual music hardware, I still adore Reason's love letter to skeuomorphism, and it was far easier to route my synths and effects when I just imagined the racks like they were in Reason. Now Reason 12 controls all those real cables. XD More Reason content, please!

[@oceanspray6969]

That groove you got going in this sounds super dope.

[@PhillipOmusic]

Awesome! More Reason stuff! The workflow has changed quite a bit, though, you may want to explore the workflow a bit more. For example you don't need to create a mix channel before creating a new instrument; they get created automatically. You do want to create mix channels when you want to route audio from one device (like a drum machine) onto separate tracks though. Keep it up! Edit: ps: holding shift when creating a new device el prevent it from auto routing, so you can do any uncommon routing you desire without ruining your current routings.

[@Bigleg2]

Yes please more videos with Reason12:) best tutorials here!

[@patrickh2053]

I'm working a lot in Reason, I think since 2005, and yet discover new things everyday. I really enjoyed your video and would love to see more video tutorials in Reason, especially regarding techno. I take a lot input/ideas/inspiration from your Ableton videos and techniques, that have helped me to achieve a better workflow and better sound in Reason too. However it's a bit hard for me, to transfer these techniques to Reason, because it uses different tools than Ableton and is a different environment. So yeah, I would really love to see you doing more in Reason to get even better at what I love doing: creating music. Thanks for the great and inspiring videos and keep them coming :)

[@mattwoodman3017]

That was awesome! YES! make another video further!

[@kurtslobodan3510]

[@bricelory9534]

Love to see you explore Reason further - fun stuff!

[@PieterLaroy]

Hey Oscar, very nice video! I'm both an Ableton & Reason user, and I use both products. Did you know you can now use the Reason Rack as both a VST instrument and effect in Ableton. For me, that's really the best of both worlds. Maybe some tips. If you're working in the reason daw, you could in my opinion use parallel mixer channels to achieve a similar, but more controllable rumble effect. And for your acid bass, you could use the Pattern Mutator Player to generate the variations (also when using reason as a plugin). Keep on bringing your video's into the world ;-)

[@DonVincenzooGame]

REASON IS THE BEST FOR FUN AND CREATIVITY

[@gergelynyary4314]

I've found this video in my recommendations. Since weeks I search for videos like this. Reason and techno. Please, please do more videos for us Reason users. Also other genres are welcome! Thanks.

[@ASUSfreak]

As a Belgian myself, I just came across this channel! Very nice to see some more Reason vids because I bought all the stuff my buddy has... only he knows what he is doing and me not :p So a basic how-to-use-reason tutorial would work fine ;) Greetings from a Flemisch Belgian!

[@sflo3398]

Can't believe I haven't explored the Monotone bass synth yet. The randomise function on the Matrix works a treat. Thanks for the inspiration:)

[@Vymix]

[@goamusiclab]

Cool, thanks. I recommend resetting Reason and its devices to empty - and build from there from scratch. Peace from Goa

[@avefuqua]

yes. Please show more Reason integration in Ableton. I think Reason knows its role as a Plug in into the big DAWS. Smart move _ consider adding it for that purpose.

[@KojiKamori]

Rebirth was its own thing, so was Propellerhead's Reason. The cool thing about Propellerhead was and still is for me, Rewire. It allows you to combine many DAW's including Rebirth with Reason so you can bring in the audio from Rebirth into Reason and then edit it. Since I moved on to actual hardware, Reason, Rebirth and Rewire still has a place in my heart as I too started there.

[@TheMorMor]

You should check out the player devices! I don't know much at all about making techno but I do think that you would have a lot of fun with them, especially the Pattern Mutator!

[@andyholton7959]

That was dope dude, really enjoyed this, please give us more, am a Alberton user, but nice to see a different platform 🙌🙌

[@ssilk]

This was really fun to watch. Waiting for when you get in touch with the player devices (sequencer on steroids), and the mixer. Ah, and the best way to get in touch with the “old sound” is to use the subtractor …
