Making Catchy Hooks In Your Songs

[@elpaolo2009]

Adore this series. Totally hooked!

[@gaetanodepaola2ndchannel179]

Ba dum tsss :D

[@ReasonStudios]

I see what you did there but it took me a minute to catchy on. #punfail /ryan

[@bgimusic]

boysbeingboys me too!

[@joshstewart290]

Exactly

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

Damnit Ryan you make this stuff look TOO easy! All my hooks and melodies still resemble variations on happy birthday...

[@DavidGonzalez-oo2cw]

Marc Laflamme hahahahahhahahaha that really made me laugh cause i can relate. Keep experimenting and most importantly listen to a LOT of music. All sorts of genres but make sure you enjoy it. Melody writing will become natural.

[@Borderlinepsycotic]

Marc Laflamme ..... Hilarious..... lol.

[@arturkarlov3000]

I like how you explain electronic music production with punk rock examples. I hate how every fucking song on the radio has the stupid "hey" all over it. I kinda appreciate the fact that I know why that is happening now.

[@edwnx0]

i feel like the balance between predictability and unpredictability that we prefer is different for everyone. i feel that this is why some people enjoy catchy music and others just can't stand it.

[@CharlesVanNoland]

Good observation. It's interesting to note how the mainstream appreciates repetitive predictable radio pop music while 'refined' tastes prefer the likes of classical music - which is much less predictable and more of an ever-changing and evolving flow.

[@pentabitsmusic]

i really REALLY love unpredictable music. not too much but a little more than normal

[@AaronTrimbleMusic]

Oh yes, and that’s one of the things that define genre and preference

[@aslanyo]

"nohhh shee didntttt" was hilarious!

[@MG-ti9bl]

This is legit the only video I've seen where the musical example is something I actually really like

[@PauLtus_B]

That repetition with just a different last note results in about the most poppy melodies I've ever heard. Actually heard it a lot.

[@kaulinman9670]

fucking love these tutorials

[@domthecreative2396]

Kauz Music same they are super helpful

[@yung_legna]

Future dropped 2 albums in 2 weeks. he must have found an algorithm for hooks 😂

[@Tmoney7182]

😂😂😂😂

[@patrickstarshooter5221]

@33 33 I don't think people like @yung lil Lega think like that.

[@adeguzman1115]

Oh man. I'm sorry. I'm not using Reason but damn! Your tutorials are super great! The tutorials are applicable to any DAWs we can use. Great job, man! I am hooked.

[@kathykaura7219]

[@mockcroc]

Love these tutorials, especially now I find I am already incorporating some of these techniques and ideas into my music before I even watch the videos. Reason has so many endless possibilities under its engine it keeps me excited about creating music. Thank you for creating and posting 👌🏻

[@thedelacruz]

Love the tutorials. Hate the way songs nowadays sound the same when this stuff is so freaking powerful. People use 1% of Reason's power.

[@RockinSG]

I moved to Studio One for the expanded VST support. I was listening to some of my previous Reason recordings and I have to say - I impressed myself. Plus, Reason is so easy and intuitive. I might have to head back. Plus, these are the greatest tutorials. Nice job, Ryan!

[@cgollimusic]

What's great is that none of this is new to me. It's stuff I've been aware of and been doing before, but the video puts it in such a straightforward way that you just want to go and pay more attention to it and experiment more.

[@Jafetlugo]

No other daw company creates such inspiring and educating videos such as this. Awesome!

Thanks for these tutorials! The Propellerhead team has always been committed to excellence in putting affordable creativity into the hands of all music lovers. You keep raising the bar!

[@SpiderBRidin]

My favorite part of beat making! Sometimes I make the hook 1st unknowingly

[@alexcvx3906]

Another amazing and educational video, great job Ryan! 👏

[@comebacktheman]

yea he's awesome

[@WhiskeyDip]

Your tutorials are very well thought out and planned! I love how you use the viewer's ear to really get your point across

[@NelsonCartier]

I been dealing with reason for yrs I just started getting good 8 months ago buts its so much to learn I suggest being on it everyday fooling around that's how you get good...while watching videos like this helps increase your style...its ah different story when you got ppl in the booth.. you gotta be able to perform fast

[@shrade2837]

I usually don't comment but I have to say this series is one of the best I've come across. To the point, effective, and easy to follow along with. Thank you

[@brianholloway7468]

I love Reason!

[@NotDavidX]

I´d love to see the entire list of Musical Alternative Facts.

[@theHumanBryno]

I've been watching a few videos on this subject and so far this one is the most useful. Thanks.

[@Xopher30]

I'm always impressed by your tutorials. Crisp, compressed, and superb video editing.

[@dirtsawmusic9295]

That scales and chords tool is super dope!

[@kevinstoneham1245]

Excellent. Just need to remember to have a look when next doing some music.

[@arothmanmusic]

I thought the trend of people shouting "hey" in every damned song had been replaced by producers vocal-chopping in every damned song?

[@erikhalle6504]

Been incorporating these techniques in my music but i never saw this video. Not trying to sound like a jerk but it makes me happy to see that I seem to be doing something right! Glad that this video exists though, feel like I'm more sure about what exactly I'm doing now.

[@bambatacandt7921]

This was amazing and very helpful! I didn't know that pichting was that easy, need more of these. Thank you!

[@HAZARDOUS88]

Nice One! Nice One! Nice One!

[@HAZARDOUS88]

Indeed lol

[@n3bbian]

Chat disabled for 3 seconds

[@youaintasbadasyouthink]

Calvin Harris - I'm Not Alone is probably one of the best 'Shout it out' hooks I've heard, it always goes off at festivals

[@tdotwellsmusic]

Cool video. I always find that adding any kind of human voice element makes a track/beat catchier.

[@bloodsweattones]

These Reason tutorials are awsome! Keep up the good work, hats off.

[@precisionsoundworks8371]

Nice work on this vid! You've set a new bar in production tutorials! Thank you!

[@felixpersson9154]

You just got yourselves a new subscriber!. Equal interesting and fun!. Love what you have done with the video/series. Amazing. So excited to try out the tips. The best, FLX

[@ReasonStudios]

Well THANKS Felix! Having just recently crossed the 100k subscriber mark, I'm pretty happy for each new subscribe that comes in because now I have a new target: 1 MILLION Subscribers! /ryan

[@felixpersson9154]

Sky is the limit!. Keep the good work up ;D //FLX

[@Simon-ol6qf]

crazy how they got me hooked on the channel by talking about hooks. Nice vid

[@NoNotDave]

This is just amazing. I love the quality of your videos! Please keep this up.

[@antimissilemissile]

he just showing you different ways to melodically express yourself or lay chords down in a more interesting way than the average “producer” would just trying to make a beat

[@jaabab]

Superb demonstration...you are a great teacher!!

[@sagar_m]

this is fucking gold mine of knowledge

[@k.santana]

"ela ela ela" lmfaooo ..I fuks wit this dude

[@domthecreative2396]

K Santana same

[@basssavage954]

I don't even use reason, but damn, you guys are nailing the music making for dummies (like myself) game. Good Job!

[@billyrigney4455]

I love Reason

[@BelaInkster]

Another brilliant tutorial! 🤓

[@akeemhimself]

Wow. Just wow. This was fxcking amazing tbh. Thank you so much. Simple, precise and to the point.

[@carlosmoon9616]

[@zakaroonetwork777]

Would love to hear Ryans take on The Bridge.

[@iamcharleskrause]

this was exactly what I was looking for, so helpful. thank you!!!!!!

[@chriswhite1184]

Thanks man, this really helped me understand some things. Definitely subscribed now. Btw that was catchy as hell.

[@hitmusicplant]

This is really really good concept tutorial, thanks. hope can see more. great job!

[@slimaskaro]

Thank's for all your ideas !!

[@l33talchemist]

These tutorials make me so glad I bought Reason!

[@RateOfChange]

9:34 why am I laughing so much?

[@diorviolin]

love you man !! subscribed,good job ,keep it up

[@thenorthstar311]

Ryan can we have a video for catchy chord progressions and also a Neurofunk drums and bass video ? Thanks :)

[@ReasonStudios]

Chord progressions is one I've considered but I fear people would dislike it because I'd be telling people how great it is to fall back on tried and true progressions that have birthed the greatest melodies of our time... but that inevitably leads people grumbling about cliches. But I'm considering it, anyway. :) /ryan

[@thenorthstar311]

I`m sure if you did one it would be a great addition to the series anyway. Thanks Ryan , I look forward to more videos . I really like the latest 808 cheat sheet by the way...keep them coming :)

[@dez5]

Propellerhead has got me hook, great video.

[@tiffanyc7729]

SOOO COOL!! I loved this video❤. This helps me SO MUCH with making my song. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH

[@quentinboucher]

Hey Ryan, great tutorial, its going to give me some help in the studio! I have a question or a request rather. In like the first 10 seconds of the video, where the opening song comes in, can you make a tutorial on how to create that lead synth? It sounds like a sawtooth but I'm not sure, it sounds super clean. If anyone else has any idea or knows how to do it as well, it would be really helpful! Thanks!

[@ChilluminatiKA]

Hahahah, "I´m gonna go rogue" - Great! Good video, thanks :)

[@danecustance2734]

Pure gold thanks.

[@dirtsawmusic9295]

I use ableton these days, but I wish I could magically have a license for Reason again. I was a huge Reason 5 fan back in the day. I just don't have the dough to spend on another daw.

[@halo231halo]

Man, this video is gold

[@insanecomicdude]

Wow this was super helpful. Thanks.

[@CPtheCreator]

THIS!!!!!! ... was incredible Ryan!!!

[@rifofo]

wooooohooo i need this, thankyou for bring it up this “hook”ies method 🔊

[@FishPlinko]

Ay freesound is such a wonderful site for finding samples

[@michaelsomer6829]

NOFX! Im coming back to reason just for that reason. Great reference

[@leonardyoung5626]

This guy is awesome!......Actual helpful tips...

[@sahawndada]

Please keep making these videos !!!

[@ikabbite]

i love reason, its so nice to look at and from what i can see its more than effective, but ive never used it, iys expensive for nigerians. really wish they was a sort of cheap version for students or something. lobe your tutorials by the way ryan 😊

[@ReasonStudios]

Reason Essentials is 1/4th the price of Reason's full version but has very many of the same features. The rack and cabling power is all there. The Rack Extension instruments are available, too. And there's a cross-grade version available to the full Reason version when you're ready to move up to the full feature set. It's worth checking out if you're interested in getting into Reason in the easiest way possible. /ryan

[@phunque]

Fine work! Thanks for another informative video.

[@elementexmusic]

I just can't stop listening best song of 2018

[@yenthesage2717]

Awesome man!!! Keep doing these vids, I'm learning a lot good sir!!!

[@didierjoomun]

Thankssss, great tutorial and examples !

[@stratquebec]

Excellent tutorial. Very helpful. I would like to listen to the full song we hear at 2:06, "Falling down", is the title ? Can we listen to that song somewhere?

[@MarcusConstantine_Cavalida21]

Thank you for that, I'll keep it in mind.

[@thepretendraver312]

I find most stuff on reason a bit tinny, you really need to push it with compressors, effects, mastering to get a good sound.

[@LennyThroughParadise]

Great video thanks Propellorhead!~

[@ZyklnAeon]

For those who looking for the full version of "falling down" I think this song does not exist but this one is close :Shadow Gallery - Ghost of a chance

[@ReasonStudios]

Wow! Someone referencing Shadow Gallery in our channel. I'm a huge fan of them. :) /Stefan

[@Todd_Writersroom]

As always excellent thanks for the knowledge

[@defsessions4976]

Back to school! Thanks

[@cosmos1250]

Very nice Video - Well Done !!

[@TheRealWinsletFan]

Great hints. Thanks.

[@chrissweetleaf5453]

Respect for the NoFX clip. 👍

[@TrackMasterAsh]

as a fellow Ryan I thank you

[@alveek]

most common summary of many tutorials: it's all about experimentation.

[@mysoberlife.]

This is a good video. Very helpful for u, beginners. Thumbs up

[@mysoberlife.]

*us . Not u. typo

[@spyspacetr4518]

I am hooked!

[@liamhenderson3753]

Must be said though, Reason is the absolute shit tits. It's almost literally infinite in it's scope. I have wasted years just messing around with building my own instruments, crazy effect chains and all sorts of nutty professor shit. Just love it.

[@bgimusic]

Amazing tutorials 👏🏼

[@loopduplicate]

Good s@#$ to watch with coffee in the morning :) Your vids always give me good ideas.

[@BrianSky751]

Thanks for the advice and the methods, it really helps :)

[@the_wilson_smh]

If only I could afford the £313 for Reason 9.

[@micromando4669]

Hey it's always worth it compared to the hit single you'll be writing with hit ;-) If you really wan't it, you will get it.

[@DreErdna]

Hey awesome vid! You should release that song you made. I think it would be super cool! Let us know man!!!

[@Barefoot67]

that melody is fuckin good

[@user-gj1lb6xp3t]

Awesome videos, please keep it up!

[@jyseninthecloud]

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom :)

[@hereisrich]

Great tips ... though a bit too "instant" in terms of your sudden composition choices that just so happen to sound in-scale and perfect. Might be good to avoid the doubletalk on repetition and variation by specifying *what* they apply to: repetition of overall structure, length, and rhythmic pattern; variation of expression that provides a sense of dialogue with a "call" and "answer".

[@shunpillay]

Master Class as usual - thanks, loved it. :)
