From Raw Chord Progressions to Full Songs with Chord Sequencer

[@cmdkaboom]

Give this guy a raise man.He's funny.He drags into the videos and gives you so much knowledge

[@ldandco]

The quality of this video just elevates even further the product, namely the chord sequencer

[@compteprivefr]

YESSSSSS!! More videos like this please, of showing how to use these Reason workflows to make SONGS like you just did here, instead of showing them in a vacuum.

[@jordimoraguesmassanet1179]

Ryan, your videos are the best. Concise, well-produced and memorable. I'm going through your older tutorials and tricks, which are tremendously useful. You're my Reason teacher :)

[@jamesr2934]

Completely agree, Ryan you are my favourite KZbinr, more videos please!!

[@jazzsong8566]

Agree! If I told you that I can watch Ryan’s videos while cooking, doing my workout… and yes! Even with my laptop to follow up the steps in his tutorials 🙌🏻

[@Kaitain]

Can we please get a video that is 10 hours of Ryan raving in a dark room?

[@ReasonStudios]

That... can be arranged.

[@arothmanmusic]

But he needs to put that hair in some epic pigtails on the sides this time.

[@ReasonStudios]

@@arothmanmusic You know I contemplated doing the pig-tails but I ended up going with "chaotic fluff" instead. :D /ryan

[@ashleyprincewashington2130]

Definitely we need him to rap to some hip hop 🤣💯🔥🔥

[@RyanHarlin]

@@ashleyprincewashington2130 Funny you say that - one of my livestream topic ideas is to have an actual rapper teach me to rap. I would be terrible, of course! But I wouldn't mind looking foolish trying to learn if it helps encourage others to try because they might be good!

[@PhilipGarciaReacts]

Whenever I work in Reason, I hear Ryan's voice! I went through different DAW phases throughout the years. But I have to say that because of Ryan's personality and fun engaging videos - Reason is my number 1 favorite for life!

[@Sol_Keez]

We need a Reason Chord Sequencer community lol... More chord progressions ... Love this!

[@LoneGRoEnt]

9:50 Wiring bass notes of the sequencer. That is sick... Love it.

[@joshuaaustin4355]

I didn't realize just HOW much I missed Ryan's videos (nod back to Super Neat Beat Cheat Sheets). The shorts are good, live is good, but these are GREAT! Thank you Ryan!

[@RyanHarlin]

Thanks Joshua! More to come, I can promise!

[@joshuaaustin4355]

@@RyanHarlin Absolutely fantastic news!

[@jazzsong8566]

Ryan’s videos are my favorite: educational, practice oriented, and so full of humor (your rave costume is absolute genious). Think I’ve learned as much of Chord Seq as an 3 hour class. Was missing you here, man! 🙌🏻👏🏻🎉

[@Citizen-Ken]

As usual, Ryan’s video is not only educational but incredibly inspiring. Bring back the livestream for a new season!

[@ReasonStudios]

Talks are underway for more livestreams! /ryan

[@ContentScientist]

This is the best way to do incredibly complex chord progressions....I will study tremendously!!!!

[@Dangerousdaze]

I think this is one of the most impressive tutorials of *any* DAW I've ever seen. Seriously. It's a fantastic showcase of Reason presented by an incredibly talented musician, and it leaves you eager to drop a quick comment before firing up the product and having fun. You've really made my Sunday. Cheers!

[@DJWILDTV]

Ryan videos is one of the few things related to Reason that never disappoints, lately.

[@LukeAWarren]

This was absolutely incredible. So much immediately usable info packed in here.

[@jnbtravel]

This is the most inspired I’ve felt in a long time watching this episode.

[@RyanHarlin]

Jon!! I say this with every bit of sincerity that I can squeeze out of a KZbin comment's text-only delivery format: That means SO much for me to read and is all I (or Reason Studios) could hope to hear. The work I do in making these videos ends up inspiring myself to make music, and my main goal is to make that inspirational feeling contagious in the video itself. So thanks for sharing that with me. It makes the effort feel worthwhile.

[@jnbtravel]

@@RyanHarlin you are very welcome. As soon as I can repair and upgrade my Mac (today) I wanna get beck into production. (It feels like my birthday all over again ) 😂

[@ReasonStudios]

[@usedusermoser]

Yeah Ryan is back with amazing tuts 🎊 🎉. More footage of Ryan the dancer 🕺 please

[@LoneGRoEnt]

Ryan, you went crazy with the wiring. Wow. Didn't know you could do all that. Wouldn't have even imagined it.

[@christophertodman]

I've always loved the interjected comedy. Well played.

[@razhmazh]

Ryan's videos are the best! Keep 'em coming!

[@StephenRybacki]

Mind blown. Thanks Ryan for giving me some new stuff to try!

[@UnconsciousChanting]

Excellent pedagogical approach! Also, not typically a fan of the generally slick type of pop track he was creating, but have to admit it was a banger when he was done. Loved all the subtle little techniques and additional skills/tools he touched on as he rounded out the track, all building off of the themes he elaborated on earlier. Wonderful!

[@garyb7950]

I want to keep diving into Reason because it is POWERFUL and has many interesting creating options. WOW! 🎼🎹😀💃🏽🕺🏾

[@SefNitty]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 I needed this video today 💯💪🏽

[@tokyotrap2579]

Same 🎹🤞🏽🔥🔥🔥

[@ProdbearUK]

Great additions to the player. Very nice rave gear too Ryan! I like the small point updates on the devices 🙂

[@ragingoracle6239]

Wow.. Exactly what I asked for during the live stream launch.. Way to go!!

[@damienb8096]

Has to Be 1 of the Best Jobs in The World! Cheers Mate 🍻 !!!

[@djbigpump]

Mind blown every time I watch this guy's videos.

[@micromando4669]

It's funny how i noticed this morning that i'm kinda addicted to these reason videos, thinking: "where is my every second-day-Reason-Video?" The answer was not long in coming, with a neon Ryan waving with a 17 min video out of my YT Thumbnails 😆 @Ryan can't you just cancel everything else in life and just concentrate on our addiction please? 🤩🙏

[@ContentScientist]

I'm nominating this for the best Reason Video in the last 2 years - OMG - you got down this video!!!!!!

[@alfredoma5015]

Im an FL guy but this video single-handedly made me purchase reason

[@robertgrant721]

Ryan is pretty damn good at this! Fantastic presentation.

[@gregserenade6653]

Fantastic! This is modern music composition, and I love it 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

[@ShovellETH]

Even after using reason since its inception it keeps amazing me how versatile it is, this is a great example of many things, but most of all i love the managebility part you showed here. This concept is awesome and has so much potential. Going to try it out immidiately! Thanks Ryan.

[@KamoMbatha]

The best in the business! Thanks Ryan... you're making me fall back in love with Reason again

[@rickzsax]

Enjoying your wonderful work in Alaska. Bravo! Reason has a steal in you!

[@Caelo_music]

Fantastic tutorial and demonstration of Reasons flexibility and ease of use. Keep it going!

[@SidMercutio]

*clap clap clap* brilliant Ryan!! i only started testing CS last week.....time to pony up for it....been awhile since i got a RE. this is worth it.....

[@churchlesssociety]

Man this dude is so fun, and straight to the point informative… Thank you so much

[@kentwood9821]

Excellent tutorial, I bought this recently and worked with it and you blasted away a few questions I had right off the bat.

[@relax_with_shawn]

This video made me come back to Reason 😁😁😁😁😁

[@theretrophonix]

Ryan, simply the best

[@BigPharmaBeatmaker]

Ryan puts more work in his educational videos, than anyone around. Before him there was a bold guy, who produced this tutorials of this quality. Now it is Rayn

[@AL.N-music]

What an amazing feature addition!

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Welcome back Ryan, it's been a while since one of your videos has been posted, great video.

[@GoldenTweezer]

Seriously hahah Ryan you’re fantastic !

[@ashishlakhani3446]

Ryan is the best teacher more videos from Ryan please

[@osherezra8460]

Nothing like Ryan's Tutorials thanks

[@kristoffersalomonsson]

So informative. These Reason videos always leaves me feeling like even though I've used Reason for years, I've never really used Reason. So much more to explore

[@kronweed]

14:48 Thank you for this tip

[@nickintime8621]

Fantastic work Reason Team !

[@marcotronic]

That's the probably the best Reason video I have ever seen 😂. So well done and entertaining!

[@boying.]

Yoh! I missed Ryan’s tutorials. Feels like it’s been some time since the last one.

[@anzatzi]

still overwhelmed on the third viewing--so much info presented so clearly!!

[@Bassman01]

Got there!!! This amazing tech has helped so much since purchase. Now even better! well-done Prop guy's

Wow!!! Awesome work Ryan! Gratitude 🤝🏾

[@song23ministries]

Wow Ryan! This is a great vid. Very cool and very helpful. Thank you so much. You cover so much in such a short time. Humorous and informative! Great combination. Keep it up. We love your videos. Sincerely, Steve & Cheri I love Reason!

[@jam3-z8s]

Respect and blessup Ryan🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

[@shawnmcandrew6923]

you sir are a mad musical scientist.

[@jkenlive]

Just spent a few hours after work, reauthorizing and updating all my plugins and Reason apps then watched this inspiring video but now I'm tired - lol! It is inspiring though.

[@matthewstuartnz]

This is awesome! Love the updates to the player and those were some great tips. I particularly like that idea you mentioned about having Chord Sequncer one control the chord selection of Chord Sequencer two which might have different voicing. That's a really cool instrumentation idea 👌🏻

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Hey Matthew, 👍😎

[@Chrisreedbeats]

Yessssssssss Ryan totally inspires me every time! This is dope sir!!! 🔥🔥🔥 #reasongang

[@jeffreykasbohm7685]

You crack me up dood :-) And you give GREAT lessons ans descriptipons!!! Will be back 🙂 .

[@touchthatdial]

Great video Ryan, so good at explaining the creative options for routing all the stuff in Reason. CS is already one of my most-used players (great song-starter IME) and this update looks dope. Reason is (in my setup anyway) finally stable and back to the Reason of old I remember over the last 20 years. Just need to get VST3 and M1 out the door now…

[@mikekohlgraf4737]

Excellent tutorial! Need to check out your other videos! Thank you!

[@freethinkers-inc.]

Always fun to watch Ryan...Ryan!😂

[@faulttolerantstudio]

Ryan you're a great presenter. Informative, engaging, and funny. Really enjoy your videos!

awesome Bass CV trick, this will definitely come in handy!!

[@shunpillay]

😳 Epic video. And laugh-out-loud funny as well. Loved it! 😻

Amazing video Ryan. Well done! Love and appreciate the amount of time that must go into making it. And you’ve given me some ideas I have to try later tonight. Thanks for a laugh too!

[@ReinhardWedemeyer]

Very nice tutorial for creative music maker. This is the way I like to make music with reason. Very very cool. Thanks man. This will help me on my next project.

Really nice video, chord seq has been in every single production since launch, very happy to see an update - is this one of many to come?

[@djshmul1]

Makes me want to get reason plus

[@shoogabooga2072]

your amazing! I can't wait to make some new songs with this

[@TonjuwelenDeAgentur]

Great Video! Tons of stuff to learn. Good fun. Thumbs up. The Vocoder Part was a bit tricky. So I start again from there :)

[@eagletown8977]

Great tutorial 👌👌

[@tokyotrap2579]

If I wasn’t pumped about making music before I am now 🎹😎!!!

[@LoneGRoEnt]

lol, Love the Videos. The sequencer is an awesome tool specially for those of us who want to be creative but lack the knowledge of musical theory.

[@challism]

Great video! Thanks Ryan. :)

[@jeroenbeltman515]

You're soo cool, dude! Love to see ur vids, thnx.

[@SsgtHolland]

Damn, you look good in rave gear!

[@TheValueOfN]

Avoid the waffle and read the last paragraph. I'm loving learning about how to use Chord Sequencer and Reason 12 in the ways that the programmers and designers intended and the ways that my mind creates tangents as I experiment with Reason in general. I think that it's clear that Reason Studios is focusing on the Rack more than it is on the sequencer and - after having watched most of this vid - I've just realised that I'm actually okay with that. The Rack is significantly unique to Reason and that fact should be built upon so that Reason can be the ultimate plugin rather than a lacklustre attempt at the perfect DAW that it used to try to be. After having recently bought Live 11 and FL 20, my opinion has definitely become somewhat swayed because I feel like the combination of their attributes and Reason's Rack plugin's awesomeness is already within my grasp. I had to rewind and pause many times. I'm going to have to slow the vid right down now so that I can follow the steps. At 17:16, I recommend doing the same. Start at 13:52 for context.

[@BIGHARVEY2005]

Ryan never misses.

[@ashleyprincewashington2130]

Fantastic video 💯💯💯🔥

[@DaleDaleDaleDaleDale]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you!!

You sir have just sold me on Reason+

[@JPrana]

Absolutely love this. Please do more like this.

[@TwstedTV]

Hahahahaa 😂🤣😂🤣 This video was fun to watch. Even though I left reason 8 years ago to Studio One for my particular needs. I still upgrade my owned reason though. Reason is still a fun DAW. And this video keeps proving that. 😉👍 The rave outfit bit had me LMAO 😂🤣😂🤣 again fun video to watch.

[@chuckaudio3191]

I LOVE raver Ryan!

[@timeades7889]

Hey Ryan, pure gold as always with your videos. Very informative - I always look forward to your content. I have leaned more about chord sequencer in this video than I had on my own - next question is how you found a great ‘song vocal’ on splice so quickly - I spend ages looking for something other than small phrases ;) Thank You

[@RyanHarlin]

Well Tim, I wish I had great advice on the splice search. It can be tricky. One thing I use that helps me narrow it down is the key signature filters you see me using in the video. Then after that some of my scanning happens visually by just looking on screen for long waveforms that would indicate more material to work with. I've also tried stuff like search terms that include "verse" or "hook".

[@carsten7058]

Super DOPE!!!! But I am a beginner, it was an overload of information for me!!!!

[@pq1151]

Pretty, Pretty, Pretty good!
