How do I remove clicking? I'm getting clicking on every chop.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@moosedawa8263 I fixed the problem, I just didn't know how to chop samples in Mimic because I have always used a 3rd party audio app to chop samples.

[@KattKirsch]

I want to give you credit for leaving in his discussion of his having started on a cracked version of your software. Too many companies seem to forget that so many of their customers tried before they bought; and I think it's a shame that there's been a stigma about this kind of thing being mentioned, especially in poor or underserved community. Much love from paid user who used to be a broke girl with a thumb drive.

My first copy of Reason 2 was cracked and I probably would never of started making music had My friend at the time gave Me that. They are fully aware that most people started with a cracked copy.

[@sdonagmac2293]

I was very surprised they left that bit in there. I’m from South Africa and it’s very difficult to have enough money to buy anything, let alone software in this part of the world. As a youngster, I started on a cracked version of Reason 4 in 2008 and bought Reason 9 when I started working some years ago and upgraded to every new version since then and currently on 12. I’ve also purchased countless rack extensions and creative players over the years. It all started with me on the cracked version and I’m now a locked in customer. #ReasonGang

[@quamb]

100%. You'd be hard pressed to find a working professional creative who didn't start with cracked software

[@PeterJohnBailey]

@@quamb Absolutely, until they are established musicians are some of the poorest amongst us, and even when "established" it is a fine line between success and poverty. I have been using cracked software since 1985 and the beginning of MIDI. If you make money and don't buy the software then shame on you.

[@somuchfortalent]

It's that cracked version that gets you hooked.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Every Reason user I have ever met personally all originally stated with a cracked Reason.

[@nobody-tt6qc]

Lol right 😂

[@moosedawa8263]

Haha word 🤝

[@DaChillSpot-MacMechi]

After watching this video, 😢 I need to go get my studio back right. So many kids lived this life and still do. When the music don't support those hungry mouths tho is when you see the decline in engineering and beat production. Man this video is the best video of 2023

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

All I need is My laptop and Reason, That's why My gear stays covered in plastic or boxed, Obviously thars not very professional.

[@RFX01]

That bit at the end there, FutzBox RE with Sim enabled on default settings. I use it on almost all my songs to get some of my vocals sounding like they're coming from a crappy transistor radio. Gives amazing contrast compared to the full vocals, makes them hit even harder when they come in. Huge recommendation right there. Also, massive props for acknowledging that beginners start out on cracked software instead of just sweeping it under the rug. I started out on a cracked copy of Reason 5 in 2013 and asked my parents for a legit copy of Reason 7 as a Christmas present the very same year. I remember being so hyped for it I was watching the announcement trailer over and over again. I wonder how many great producers wouldn't even be making music today if it weren't for them starting out on cracked software.

[@brandonp.9371]

Best video y’all have ever done. I truly related to this and now I’m going to go create!!! Thank You

[@Kaitain]

Really great vibes, and Reason not getting in the way of the musical flow! And nice to hear someone point out that once you start digging rare records you realise how much old music isn't on the internet or even digitised.

[@AdamsOlympia]

I'm sure most of it was available online a decade ago , before WhatCD was taken down. Broke my heart to see it go -- It was like the library of Alexandria of music. By far the world's largest repository of music, dwarfing Apple/Spotify and the rest; Collectors and record store owners and employees around the world would rip their Vinyls, CDs and other media and post it there. I got 5 TB archived before it was raided, just a drop in the bucket.

[@moosedawa8263]

Word 🙌

[@thegroove2000]

Sampling is art. Sampling is LIFE.

[@toshea1980]

This video reminds me of a feature request I had for Mimic! I'd love to see an update that incorporates the MPC "lazy chop" feature where you can tap in the slice points as the sample plays, maybe by way of tapping a key or pad. Great stuff!

[@Drew21v]

A "lazy chop" function for mimic would be a game changer! Mimic is my main chopping tool. I have been loving it and I feel like with a few tweaks it could be THE BEST ONE ☺

[@fplusbeats]

I'm Waiting for this too. it would be amazing

[@KnoWareMan03]

Reason since V2.5, on V10 now. No need to go further IMO. Take the limitations and break ALL the rules with it.👊🏿👊🏿

[@UltimateMoralizer]

It’s cool that there’s beat makers who sample records. However, me personally, I’ve always preferred to compose the melodies as I also play piano. Boom Bap will always be irreplaceable!

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

I think most Reason users started on a cracked version and sooner or later and up buying a license or doing Plus.

[@markscott3146]

Yep! Me too bro 😂

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@markscott3146 They know it's true.

[@arothmanmusic]

I started with a legit copy of Reason 1. It was my Photoshop that was cracked. :D

Hey reason devs! Can u pls make the mimic sampler sync to global BPM?

[@whitelionmuzikproductionz9725]

When Zlatan visits...Malmo is the guest!..😂😂😂

[@miltmanmusic_BCS]

Feels like #rhythmroulette and a nod to the dope Reason users that know sample flipping is more than just adding drums to a loop. Thanks for the showcase.

[@highestsettings]

I got a cracked version of Reason ages ago too when I first started trying to record my music, except I had 4. I had to buy Reason 5 as soon as it came out because I could record my guitar with it, bought every other version ever since. Wouldn't surprise me if a lot of more modern producers have a similar story of starting out with a cracked version.

[@terra_h4429]

AMAZING VIDEO! Hiphop is forever. Please make a Friktion device but for Brass instruments!

PLEASE make more videos of this vibe. One of my favorites from y'all 👌🏻

[@iengineer_247]

I know a producer that was a killer with making beats years ago and I think he does till this day use Reason. I use Reason as a sound patch in Ableton. I love the Chronic Bass and Radical Piano!!!

[@TheDiabolicalSavage]

Im so mad at propeller head for not doing something like this 10 years ago, sampling sucked in reason that's the ONLY reason I didn't like using it back then...If reason would have had good sampling it's all I would have fucked with for years

[@henryskillz1090]

[@moosedawa8263]

Much love g!!

[@jonathanterol4528]

This kind of makes me wonder why there's no virtual MPC in Reason. If I had to guess Kong was kind of close, but it wasn't very workable as a sampler like Mimic, even the NX- sampler was kind of hassle. I'm glad with Reason 12, jumped from Reason 5 to years later 12 and it has much improved.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

The Dr Rex is a copy of the original Akai MPC samplers and has the exact same functions. You have a mini Dr Rex inside of Kong.

[@jonathanterol4528]

@@HOLLASOUNDS A good sampler allows you to chop the sample. I believe Rex doesn't have that feature, and also they must be converted to Rex files. Mimic, on the other hand doesn't need ready made chops, you can just load the sample and experiment and see what or how you like to chop the sample up, that's what makes it great!

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@jonathanterol4528 You load your sample into a audio track in the Reason DAW sequencer cut out the bits you want, delete gaps combine audio into one section, then bounce to Rex loop, load into Rex.

[@jonathanterol4528]

@@HOLLASOUNDS Wait, so no slice editing?

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@jonathanterol4528 The Rex format is slised on every transient then those slices are arranged in chromatic order and will play as is or you can bounce to midi and arrange the chops any way you want, you can change pitch reverse and so. Prehaps you should read the manual for Dr Octo rex. Everything that could be done in Recycle is in Reason DAW.

[@markscott3146]

I'm not being critical of your work; but I would be to scared of the copyright issues forthcoming if I were to sample to this degree?

[@Miss_Manoosh]

I thought the same... how much sampling can be done and then getting released as a new product??

[@WizWordofficial]

Tupac didn't sample anyone. he wasn't a producer.😂

[@moosedawa8263]

Haha I think you understand what I mean 🙌

[@xkidmidnightx]

I prefer serato sample because you can time stretch and chop at the same time. Mimic doesn't do anything the sequencer cant do already.

Should you be openly admitting that you used a CRACKED version of a software you're promoting on a video? I mean if yall gonna be that transparent fine...I used Reason 3..cracked of course. It was my first DAW.

[@moosedawa8263]

I think it’s nice to be transparent, I was young and didn’t have the funds to buy it at that point. It was also a part of my journey in producing beats which I think is nice to let the listeners get into. And ofc I bought it as soon as I got the chance :) Peace!

[@TapeGone]

Great and inspiring video, thanks a lot for that! I worked with Reason for many years since version 5, but switched to Ableton during pandemic and honestly not looking back much. Mimic is really nice tho, feels like Ableton Simpler with some extra perks. That's so good Reason rack can work as VST now. CPU consumption could be more optimized tho.

He can just bounce them in place through rex, I know it's long winded but it can be done.

They should put a disclaimer to do this at your own risk. I run an entertainment law channel and We deal with issue all the time with producers who don't get their samples cleared and the songs goes viral (Even social media bootleg clips), and they end up losing all their earnings and take down notices because they didn't get it cleared. Make sure you have a great entertainment attorney that can help you get your samples cleared before you release them and run into trouble. This isn't the '90s and technology has made it way easier to identify the samples for songwriters. 🙏#ReasonGang
