How to use parallel processing in Reason 12 to make your mixes sound more professional

[@Dayta]

making music for over 40 years ... and still there is always something new to learn out there :)

[@captainblood9616]

Truth, music is endless like all true art forms

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Good tutorial however all but one device was 3rd party VSTs, I'd like to see how people can use Reason 12 stock devices more to do similar tasks.

[@joni.sirvio8867]

bro, there is synths, eq, reverb and delay in reason. Portal was only that you need to create your self with modulation in syth.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@joni.sirvio8867 I know, I'm just saying I want them to use Reasons own devices, I'm not going to go and buy 20 plus 3rd party VSTs to do what they are. I think they should use Reasons own devices alot more.

[@micromando4669]

Maybe that Gentleman does not know how to use the awesome RV7000 MkII 😅

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@micromando4669 I find it funny that people where complaining about featured artists on this channel kept using other DAWs but used Reason Rack devices, now We get artists using the Reason DAW and no Reason Rack devices and they use all 3rd party plugins, We can't win lol.

MORE!!! YOU MAKE IT EASY BRO. THANK YOU

[@PrimaudiaRecord]

Very nice and easily replicated with reason stock devices. I tend to use splitters and line mixers so will try a combi patch with this approach.

[@1STSUN5THCHILD]

Can you make a patch and share it?

[@PrimaudiaRecord]

​@@1STSUN5THCHILD I could but honestly it'd be much better for you to do it. What your hearing here is powerful but not complicated, use your ears and look at this objectively, what's he actually doing?

[@mattavalon]

Really great advice for us Reason Users! Thanks matey

[@andydebaeke9668]

So easy but powerful. Great tutorial!

[@valleyofwaves1578]

Very nice and very hands-on, Reasonstudios. More like this please and def more by this producer please, thank you!

[@RigatoniModular]

What would influence your decision between using parallel processing for reverb vs. using a send?

[@finnie]

I'd like to know this also, how is it different from using a Send FX? To me the outcome demonstrated here is pretty much the same..?

[@RawDawgginnit]

U can do alot more with parallel processing alot easier such as chopping up the effects or making pan effects the world is your oyster when u do parallel! Not only that but like he said u can do all these things and still have a dry mix​@@finnie

[@plesjonesDJ]

Thanks for sharing this! I always Parallel in Logic Pro. Didn’t know it was an option in reason!

[@UltimateMoralizer]

Wow, that’s very clever and useful. Yeah, I need to watch more videos about paralleling.

[@Bendy2K]

Can't you do all this with the mixer send/returns? Is there a sonic difference?

[@sinewaymusic]

I believe that's identical. The only difference is that you have an infinite number of parallel channels and only 8 sends. Another benefit of parallel tracks is you can solo them. A benefit of send channels is that any number of tracks can share the same send.

[@inglesfluente2693]

Never thought of using a bitcrusher (?) to add white noise in a parallel channel of a drum track to add energy. Amazing tip

[@samuhoglund4928]

Awesome stuff! 💯 Gonna totally use this in the future productions. 💪🏼

[@carnmarth334]

This tells me how to stick parallel channels on, but it omits to tell me *why*. Why do this? What advantage does it have over using insert effects and turning them up or down to the desired volume?

[@otrie]

That's lovely drum and vocal processing!

[@korax_dnb]

Nice! A good Reason DnB tutorial!

[@balalajkeaccordeone4711]

nice didnt know about parallel process and always double track and device to do same. thxx

[@flatlyna2223]

Cheers fella, appreciate the tutorial.

[@TrailBlazers757]

What does the bus do for the parallel channels? Learning the technical pieces.

[@hermancharlesserrano1489]

Great vid…Nice to see Portal in there too ❤️

[@kalush81]

I kept hope you will play it all at once processed :D

[@DeclineMusic]

great technique big up

[@inonbramy]

Great video!!

[@ssilk]

Is there a special reason why you use the Fabfilter instead of using the filters of that channel?

[@SynthStreet]

I guess the slopes mostly.. I would use the channel eq a lot more also if there would be more slope options for the LPF and HPF.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@SynthStreet Dont you want to see Reasons own devices being used instead of so many VSTs?

[@SapphicSteph]

This was a great tutorial. Thank you!

[@SapphicSteph]

UPDATE: I decided to try it out on a project I’m currently working on, and just like that, this technique is now added to my mixing routine. What a difference!

[@superfly3438]

I'm curious why you would ad an eq, when the channel strip has an amazing eq and pass filters.

[@overseastom]

Did he actually explain what a parallel channel was? Presumably it's just duplicating the audio, but we can now add other fx, and A/B mix them?

[@kriss12loverap]

thank you for this tip, using this in ableton

[@-profit-]

Is there a way to do parallel compression on a parallel processed channel so I can make the reverbed track duck when the main vocal is playing?

[@AudialDreams]

parallel processing is really powerful. Also wish the eq's in reason had more db slopes.

[@yellowlinks]

cant you just throw in an endless amount of eq's to solve that problem

[@AudialDreams]

@@yellowlinks true :) but easier to update the eq's :) I know I can use vst ...

[@dereosroads]

@@yellowlinks yeah, would love more bands, but an easy work around is just to add another equalizer.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@dereosroads That would require more buttons on the mixer.

[@micromando4669]

I wished Reason would give us some decent analizing on board tools. The eq with options to dial in more tracks for comparison, maybe some dynamic processing also. A decent scope like Oszillos or Psyscope. Maybe a talk with the Fabfilter guys to make some ReFabs ❤

[@thecrookinc]

Do the effects from the original track carry over to the parralell tracks?

[@velvik]

Can you do a video on how to delay compensation? There's this free RE VMG-01 sample delay but I have no idea how to use it.

[@Dangerousdaze]

Outstanding.

[@YuleNevano]

Is parallel same as sends?

[@saubervonHerzen]

dang, I wanted to hear it all together

[@micromando4669]

So if i use the mix or dry/wet knob in a plug-in in the insert, ain’t that parallel processing anyway? I was hoping to see a tutorial on parallel compression, gluing kick & bass together 😊

[@micromando4669]

@@Audiomuscle Thx for your detailed reply, therefore comes my next question, so i don’t really need the send section wich is limited to 8 slots anymore? Or ar least use them for the busses? I have issue’s while mixing, it sometimes getting pretty cloudy. Especially one instrument uses two delays from the mastersection and one huge reverb. I think I’ll reroute them to parallel for better control

[@micromando4669]

@@Audiomuscle Thanks again, this indeed helps a lot and was nearly how i see this also. I never used parallel processing before, always came along with sends or inserts. I think my possibilities have just evolved 🙃Your explanation is more worthy than many 10 minutes “every pro producer uses this secret trick and does not want you to know!” Videos 😅 cheers mate

can't you do this with the "wet" mix? Same thing.

[@Martinshobbies]

I Will create Music in reason all day at home today :-) i Will surely play around with this :-)

[@MrMllx]

Is there a difference between using the "create parallel" command and just copying the track?

[@PauLtus_B]

You won't have to do every change twice.

[@pietroruffo7221]

super useful. Thanks!

[@JeremiahTrue]

I saw this tutorial a few days ago, really liked it, and was curious about something. Is is possible, when creating parallel channels further down the effects chain, to have those effects stack up? For example, I have a bassline and created a parallel channel with a delay and mixed it in. I want to add a chorus to the mix to give it some more presence but even though the chorus channel is a parallel created from the delay line, there is no delay in the chorus signal. Would this be a situation where i'd need to put both effects in the same channel or route the cables differently on the back?

[@ontheruntonowhere]

The short answer is no. You can't stack effects because each parallel channel uses the OG dry signal. You'll need to add the chorus after the delay on the same parallel channel.

Hi i need your help i use reason from version 2. Now i have 7.1 but in windowss 10 my reason Worth more than 1500 USD not work. What to do, it reason studio must give ne New version, for free because i was paid reason and i can. Not use. Tnx

[@valleyofwaves1578]

seriously mate, that`s 2 or three OS` further. So just wait for the christmas sale and update to v12 on low cost.

[@contrabone10]

Why are you making a parallel channel, why not use aux send for reverb?

[@designomomento]

Sounds not like a regular compressor. It feels like really squeezing the waveform. 😄👏

[@adammolot]

👍👍👍

[@likelydaily6767]

To my ears it sounded best with only the first compressor parallel Channel added.

You guys got a lot of 'mumbling' bass sounds somewhere in the background of the room playing / resonating, a very noisy mic and a regularly buzzing phone too... hahaahahaa. Well how can I say it...: pretty annoying when listening this video thru headphones, for the best hearing experience of all the changing settings being explained. Otherwise: very nice tutorial. Thanx!

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

There is probably more then one studio there, and in most places like that there are more then one studio next to each other.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

To add to My other comment, Gentlemen's clubs Studio might be in a multiple studio building and they rent one of them, Or the studio is home studio and some one in there block of flats is doing or playing music.
