How To Make Beats in Reason 12 for Beginners

[@Chrisreedbeats]

Making beats in Reason 12 is getting easier and easier with Players and tons of sounds, loops, and tools. Check this video out if your looking for some workflow tips or inspiration!

[@OGimperial97]

I made my first crappy beat using this tutorial, I need to obviously keep practicing and watching tutorials. But I wonder would taking a few keyboard lessons hurt, even though everybody who uses Reason says I don't need too.

[@ctrainbeats]

@@OGimperial97 dude ive been messing around with music for 10 years or so. sometimes its disheartening bc i feel like i havent progressed much, but id rather make music than not

[@cwright5882]

Brother, I have had reason 11 for about a year now, and never got a full understanding of it. I watch your vedio for the first time and sat down and may a full banger. I do that you for this video. I will continue to watch your video and become a master at it.Blessing

[@PhilHulett]

Dude, I learned more about how to use Reason watching this video than I did watching all of the official Reason tutorial videos! Thanks!

[@daniel_dumile]

the funny thing is Reason hired him to make videos, probably for this reason. I hope they paid him well

[@gtrdude6]

Chris, I have owned various versions of Reason for 2 decades and watched many tutorials. Yours are packed with info that's easy to follow and use. I'm so glad I found your channel!

[@yorfavmike]

Kudos! One of the best beginner tutorials i've seen.

[@RafaelSequera]

Best Reason tutorial on youtube!, thanks!, hope you do more!

[@Chrisreedbeats]

Wow what an honor, I’m humbled! Will do my best 🙏🏾

[@Professor_Pat]

Thanks for the advice. I never knew about holding shift and lowering the volume for smaller increments.

[@Chrisreedbeats]

Thanks for watching!! Yea it works pretty much everywhere on faders knobs etc.

[@MONQTV]

Yoooooooooooo I'm back. I just made my first joint today thanks to this video. Really really appreciated. subbed

[@nelsonlove405]

Man I've owned REASON 12 for over 2 years and thi sis the first tutorial I've found that explains it and make sit so much easier! I couldn't get a down so I've been using REASON RACK in FL Studio, which is also a powerful way to use it in and of itself. Thanks so much,

[@RockieTorres-f2k]

Thanks for the breakdown Chris I'm a student just learning appreciate ya

[@ricktowers-hn8rd]

[@C-ROCK242]

what to press to copy pattern to track?

[@NelsonCartierGaming]

this was alot of help not as diffcult as i thought it would be, me coming from fl studio i had reason for 10 years was to scared to touch it smdh im just now getting the passion to start

[@alfaganstha]

Thank u bro🙌🏽

[@GabriellaDangelino]

hey Chris, thanks for this ! after buying quite a few DAWS I've decided that reason 12 is the one for me to start learning the music arts but I made the huge mistake of buying cubase 12 pro and now get so frustrated with it, especially setting up audio of all things, so will that DAW come in handy for reason 12 or could I sell Cubase 12 Pro and not miss any features that could be used in conjunction with reason ? I understand that's a personal thing but it was quite expensive and a major faux pas by me. Also I had reason plus for 2 months which has now lapsed and I purchased a reason 12 full perpetual license but there are reason rack extensions I want that were included in the plus version like friktion and complex 1 and I already bought the layers bundle. I'm going to follow your tutorials but I want to create some sort of orchestral rock with a touch of ambience genre of which probably doesn't exist atm haha. :)

[@Chrisreedbeats]

Reason Rack in Cubase would be a good thing to try out! I can't say I have heard of that genre but I'd be willing to do some more videos on Complex and Friktion!

[@KPELIOS]

You make me ❤ reason

[@breakfreak9238]

hey Chris could you please create a tutorial about how to make the basic lead of "can't be touched" by Roy Jones Jr??? i m looking for a sound like that and i don't know what it is called like.... thank you in advance

[@MONQTV]

im having trouble getting my mpd to trigger, any suggestions? BTW this helped me allot with the navigation for beat making literally I watched the whole video. I couldn't get this help from the dozens of other channels i watched so Thank You

[@Chrisreedbeats]

MPC?

[@Chrisreedbeats]

Thanks a lot bro really glad I could help and thanks for watching!

[@MONQTV]

@@Chrisreedbeats ACTUALLY MY MPD226 is not mapping but its cool My Akai mpk3 mini does the job =)

[@producerbenford]

🔥🔥🔥

[@grownman1ify]

that piano part was hard to follow but other wise great video

[@NelsonCartierGaming]

i notice when i start a beat like you did i notice at the top rack there is 4 racks like the echo and rv7000 (we didnt put there) do those need to be there or have to be there dont that change the sound of the beat we after?

[@Chrisreedbeats]

Those are “send effects” they work with the mixer. You can delete them if you want and you can add send fx in later

[@NelsonCartierGaming]

@@Chrisreedbeats ok yea that what I was thinking just wanted to make sure 🔥🔥🔥 I been using fl studio since 2010 so reason don’t seem hard as I thought you basically explained all the doubts I had in this one video I turned on all notifications I’m gonna scan thru your channel in ah hour 💪🏽

[@Chrisreedbeats]

@@NelsonCartierGaming Appreciate you bro! If you need more help after you check those videos out, I have coaching available as well on my website Chrisreedbeats.com

[@RockieTorres-f2k]

What I'm lacking is how to make my own hi hat patterns and the details of that as far as playing sounds in a got that part just my drums is were I'm weakest

[@Chrisreedbeats]

Poly step sequencer and drum sequencer can help you out in that area

[@RockieTorres-f2k]

@@Chrisreedbeats thank you Chris means a lot I started back on 4 got to 5 then jumped to 12

Thank you sir! Reason Gang

[@Chrisreedbeats]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@ctrainbeats]

lol man i gotta re-evaluate some things..

[@Chrisreedbeats]

Like?

[@ctrainbeats]

@@Chrisreedbeats i am by no means a professional and music is a hobby for me but the way you whipped this up made me feel like I really have so much more to learn, and its been like 10 years since i first started dabbling around. honestly it feels like i havent grown in my craft much recently, i hope to learn more from you my guy. when I listen to my beats its cool sometimes, but then i'll listen to real producers and I just kinda feel lost lol

[@Chrisreedbeats]

@@ctrainbeats I see where you’re coming from. I was listening to this video the other day saying similar things. It’s good to take a step back and reevaluate the music. I tell myself to Be encouraged, and just keep going. Evaluate. But keep going. Make changes. But keep going. Set your intentions. And keep going

[@ctrainbeats]

@@Chrisreedbeats "Keep Going" I hear that. thanks for the reply and videos Chris. I just saw you did coaching so hopefully I can make that happen soon, that would be dope to learn from a pro
