Get started with Reason 13: A step-by-step guide!

[@hshx1n]

I made my first beat with Reason over 15 years ago on a cracked copy and now I've signed up for the Plus service. Thanks for re-acquainting me.

[@willa5551]

I'm pumped to try this out. Got a free 6 months of reason+ with my audio interface and just set it up. Let's goooooo

[@maveric_Reason]

great video. Cheers to all Reason Dudes out there

[@SimstonS]

Your content is of very high quality, I really enjoy your videos! Yes, we definitely need a tutorial for Polytone. I would also love to see a tutorial covering all Rythmik drums and the different techniques using various tools. Like pattern mutator etc...

[@KlaBoi-qj8oh]

No better teacher of Reason Studio in these streets. Nice practical tutorial of what in Reason 13 stands out.

[@thrillerboyrecords]

❤ the tutorial ❤the new features of Reason 13 workflow. The software is undeniable rewarding thanks Chris for sharing your tips.

[@cd3rd]

Great tutorial! You always give great insight

[@saisiga70]

Doing in-depth videos on individual instruments and effects. Would be great. It will give us, newbie users of reasons a quick hands guide, with the software etc. keep the tutorial videos rolling!

[@ninjasharkstudiosandmerch]

I really enjoy your videos! Thank you for these. Loving Reason again.

[@taplubambhos2869]

Yo we need that black Friday sale. Its too expensive even as an upgrade

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Next sale will probably be a end of summer sale 3rd off.

[@Ironically-Sarcastic]

What do you mean dude, it costs less than 1 night out in London 💀

[@fiddlestickzmuzik]

people are paying thousands for hardware synths, yet people will moan for a whole suite of software that is a couple of hundred ??

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@fiddlestickzmuzik One of My physical desktop synths with similar functions to Polytone cost £800 used, £1200 new.

[@taplubambhos2869]

@@fiddlestickzmuzik not when they've already paid for the main thing. Previous upgrades were never this expensive for reason.

[@PaulCylo]

Great video Chris 👍

[@bitley]

Great work, lots of new stuff to take in. I'll have to categorise a loooot ;-)

[@andyhsong]

reason 13 is everything I ever wanted

[@juicerox]

I'm loving the 13 update. Reason has never felt more complete to me than now.

[@ceespinz]

Good shit bro, appreciate this

[@dariondawn714]

Awesome 🥰

[@regmonmusic]

Excellent!

[@mikekohlgraf4737]

Awesome walkthrough. Love that little beat, too!

[@DavidGloshinski-ri3vd]

Great tutorial! Definitely more on Polytone and Ripley would be welcomed!

[@snackmsc]

Thanks Chris, love your light tone.

[@Rome.Monroe]

Okay. I get it now. Ripley is an upgrade to both the Echo AND the RV7000. Wow. getting my copy this week.

[@audiomon]

Nice vibe and very good presentation!

[@doktorgroove1258]

The new features of Reason 13, like the new browser with tags or the new devices, are all pretty cool! Nevertheless, it’s not an option for me at the moment because I am in the fortunate position of not having to be productive FAST. 😆 In addition, some features, such as the fading of the sound layers in Polytone, can also be realized with other on-board resources from Reason. Still a great release and a cool video Chris! 🎉

[@simon_esse896]

Good Job Reason!...🎼🎸💯🔥 Nice Overview 👍

[@nelsonferencic7169]

Thank you, Chris! Thank you! Thank you!

[@GowikMusic]

Autmation in the controller section (midi edit) is really cool !

[@ebelix991]

😮 avtomatization👍Reason best

[@Knowledge-411-x4q]

I hate to bring up STEM separation. But it would be nice Reason Studio Daddy 🤣. Other than that....An outstanding update. Ripley is awesome! I can't say enough about the ease of use with SideChain Tool, Gain Tool, and Stereo Tool!!!

[@309fliteschool]

I feel you on the stem separation. And Reason doesn't miss when it comes to the quality of their in the box virtual instruments so whenever they do get around to it, it's going to be a real game changer.

[@xgskrillax]

I feel like a lot of people are sleeping on polytone. Personally I think it sounds excellent and I love how direct and immediate it is.

[@Nenko_Music]

I agree , and it can go really wild thx to the morph feature

[@jonathongrinols283]

I didn't think when you duplicated the expressive electric cord onto your leaving Tokyo cords that it was going to sound good, but it sounded amazing.

[@TheLaser373]

12 update was last update I paid!

[@te-zo3ti]

Fantastic video. Very clear, no filler, great teaching! I’m back on Reason after a few years and 13 is sooo good.

[@RobbLeeMc]

Looking to get back after 8 years on logic

[@rosyrhodesmusic]

Yes please show a video on ripley's delay, and I commend you on your tutorial video I haven't gotten to try reason through Keene yet how's my computer broke down but this video is an exciting preview

[@jhcmusicii6181]

Nice tasty beat man.

[@TheJohtunnBandit]

Pretty bummed that I need to pay another $200 for this, I was really excited and currently cannot afford it. FL Studio lifetime free updates is looking pretty appealing, but I can't afford that either right now.

[@pulsarstar]

Same here. But I dont see a huge difference in 13, do you?

[@TheJohtunnBandit]

@@pulsarstar Don't know, haven't been able to try it since I can't afford.

[@klowe007]

Logic Pro also has free lifetime updates and they just added Ai

[@shauncarr2404]

I just buy the subscription when its on sale. 99 a year isn't that bad especially for the sound packs you get

[@Will313J]

Definitely want to know more about Poly Tone.

[@Nenko_Music]

great software

[@Boesel7068]

First of all thanks for all the helping videos. I hope Somebody can help me, i add two instruments to the rack both instruments got one pitch wheel. How to controll both wheels with one remote override? how can i link both pitch wheels? I read a lot of stuff but can´t find out how it works... thanks for help guys.

[@xxfranknittyxx2270]

just hooked up 13 and my kong is set on a kit or tutorial mode how to i take that off so i can play regular drums?

[@patwebb882]

Great Video CB👍🏾👍🏾The window for the instrument, effects and utilities can barely fit the name of the device in it.. it’s in need of an upgrade as well however it seems it would be natural to just hover the pointer over the side browser and click, a prompt will then automatically ask if you want to turn on or off this feature to enable the side horizontal browser to pop out just in that general side area to be resizable while in use then will automatically zoom back in position once the program detects you are now back to other perimeters of the DAW.(mixer, rack or sequencer). I think that will better utilize the new 3-D upgrades to visually be able to read and see graphics better and overall be a really appreciated and great upgrade to reason 13’s next update.. and I have more later.

200 FOR UPGRADE REASON STUDIOS OUT OF YOUR MIND BOYS

[@JamielDeAbrew]

Depends which version of Reason you are upgrading. The older the version you have, the higher the value in upgrading. This creates a problem for Reason Studios. This leads to Reason trying to push more people to subscribe (but some never will). Reason should change differently for upgrading depending on your version. The catch is that life is trickier for Reason Studios when their user base is fragmented across so many different versions.

[@endoflevelboss]

@@JamielDeAbrew I'm not feeling it. We have some basic business values that Reason Studios needs to observe more keenly. 1) Respect and value your customer base. 2) Reward loyality. This needs to be on a proportional scale so the more loyal a customer, the more concessions are provided. -- By neglecting these basic common sense principles of effective customer relations and oversimplifying the upgrade fees Reason Studios is shooting itself in the foot and driving users like me to alternative DAWs. Them's the facts.

[@JamielDeAbrew]

@@endoflevelboss I’m not disagreeing with you. I probably won’t be upgrading my version 12 to version 13 for that $199. Image you owned version 10. For $199, you would get all the improvements from reason 11, 12 and 13 for $199. That’s actually pretty good value. Of course, the more users who wait to purchase multiple versions of upgrades simultaneously, the more Reason pushes its subscription. This just annoys those who will ideologically never subscribe. Personally I think Reason should switch to having different upgrade prices for different versions. Eg maybe $99 from Reason 12 $179 from Reason 11 $249 from Reason 10 $299 from older than Reason 10

[@Metricfeet]

Can we use melodyne chord ripper in reason yet?

[@klowe007]

Been a Reason user for years. Some nice updates, but they sure don't cut legacy members any slack with the upgrade price! In comparison, my Logic Pro updates are always free and they just added some nice Ai tools. Anyhow...it is what it is.

[@coachd7846]

A couple of my refill patches are red folders since the upgrade. Nothing shows in them. What do I do?

[@kostyakonstantinoff]

You explain well. Thank you. What do you think about the fact that AI can generate dozens of similar tracks in seconds?

[@johnsexton8082]

When are RS going to add screen reader support? Reason 13 is even less accessible than older versions.

[@mrdavecee7248]

Love that Zelda shield

[@kingchron1798]

I use Reason as a plugin in FL Studio. Like the sounds. Cant get my head around the workflow.

[@song23ministries]

Chris, Can you PLEASE make a video on the sequencer in REASON 13. The New features are not making things easier. I have not seen a step by step sequencer turorial at all. If you know of one I sure could use it about now. Ready to GIVE UP ON REASON ALL TOGETHER. I just want to have my Reason 12+ back!🤥

[@Official360]

I don't like all the traxks he makes & i know they are mostly demonstrations but THIS beat is 🔥🔥🔥

[@soundsfromYYBY]

What producer thats out now beats you like

[@francoismathieu1504]

I've been using Reason for years but unfortunately version 12 will be my last. I don't understand where you're going. I am gradually starting to replace the sounds of my music with instruments other than Reason. I only use the Rack with the Logic pro. Paying CAD 259.00 for an Upgrade is ridiculous.

[@Stereo8000]

Ableton Live + Reason Rack Plug in.. everything you need ; ) 😅

[@fiddlestickzmuzik]

Yo can't log onto Reason studios at all anymore anyone else having this problem ? I have used the same password for 15 years and same email I logged on recently no problems now I can't even reset my password if I wanted to ?

[@StanleyMediaUK1]

Polytone tutorial for some of those nice gospel slide type pads would be nice.

[@keimonmcrath467]

Keep doing your thing bro. I have to buy everything over but wouldn't mind if you produce and make a couple tracks for me cause I have been singing, rapping and writing music since the 8th grade in would love to let you hear some of my craft.

[@KyleScott]

Looks like double time and half time are now missing???

[@StingaProductions]

Tagging Ain't Working For Me

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

How much of that midi edit was there in 12? Because I have never used it, now I know its there I'd there to be more midi edit options.

[@Nenko_Music]

in the old tool window ?

[@mimikova390]

nice

[@arsfishing]

good updates. always used reason. I have to say though, the browser is annoying. It will apply random filters so i have to click through other folders and it will reset. its very annoying and bogs my workflow a good bit. still - reason is an incredible program.

[@johnisrael5183]

If reasons would : make the Sequencer Part of its Production more Open and Faster is mind Boggling Add a Hover and Zoom Feature to the Mixer so you can see more of whats going on Update the Mixer to a Black SSL 4000 E And Add Drag and Drop for your Plugins right in the DAW instead of having to place them in Racks Add the Tool Bar to right side of your Procuction Screen like Cubase 12 and 13 And update all of the native Plugins in Reasons Add Multi Track Exporting as an Option and being able to send out a Mp3 and Wave at the same time I think these 7 or 8 Changes would pretty much make Reasons the DAW out there But they are way to busy trying to make the Program "Look like its been overhauled" instead of actually doing it You guys might have to loose some money for 2 years to then start making money to stop the business from running itself in the Ground and everyone leaving your guys for Ableton, FL Studio, Bitwig, Cubase and Studio One....LOL

[@wuerbe_beats]

Unfortunately, this new browser sucks. it takes up almost the entire screen and is not very intuitive

[@JamielDeAbrew]

I guess it depends if someone is using a large super high resolution screen or a laptop screen.

[@maikkaune]

v12 perpetual licence owners are treated like unwanted orphaned kids… 😭 there should be a lower update price, or at least some extra devices from the + version. Why there is a coupon for + users only??? I don’t get it guys.

[@krypticmusicofficial]

Is this a joke? $199 for this Upgrade!!! Seriously, put the VSTs on sale separately if you want but for the rest it only deserves a free update...

[@dmex7777]

Nice but playing by hand just sounds more real than using sequencing

[@Metricfeet]

Where’s the favorites section? This upgrade is so weird and expensive on top of that. This company hasn’t listened to their customers in a decade 🤦‍♂️ Now they’re a damn plug-in while the other daws have flourished

[@BeatvWILLIE]

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

[@pulsarstar]

Reason gives free updates to those who bought it from January 1st 2023. If you bought it on December 31, you are thrown off the boat. Upgrade costs as much a s buying a new daw. Why?

[@JamielDeAbrew]

Probably because they don’t have enough users to spread upgrade costs across.

[@dreason4844]

too expensive

[@Nenko_Music]

"expensive"

[@michaelcalderon6693]

Youre Trippin dude its pro music production software

[@lionbird7176]

Lol. It’s still reason. Ya know. Not Cubase for way less upgrade price you get areal Cubase upgrade. Pro is interesting term for Reason

[@Primesworld108]

This browser sucks

[@djshmul1]

Good beat , dope video , not worth it , tried on another machine , there's pluses, but more minuses, like tool window , i am not usin it and there's is no edit tools as it was on top and all these windows , its Resondows now😂😂😂

[@adz19751]

Too expensive for an upgrade, even for me owning R12 presently.

[@christophschallert6638]

i wont get it sry , all this tools are way to late , sorry i´ll stick with R12 in abelton thx for attention

[@TrakD]

I’m here because I had a hard time just zooming in and out on the piano roll. I’m honestly thinking about going back to 12 🫠
