I said it before and I'll say it again. If Toro came out in the 60s. He would be diamond selling! regardless. I don't care about sales, he's my favourite musician of all time!

The amount of muted tracks was impressive! And hearing why they were muted was interesting... so much re-recording! Everyone works differently, but it's a good argument for keeping the songwriting and mixing/polishing as separate tasks. It's so tempting to get picky about that bass sound before you even finish the song... then at the end of the day, you have a nice sounding bass line on a song you're tired of listening to that doesn't have any other parts. Amazing interview - I've loved his music for a while, but had never heard him talk... glad he seems like a nice dude - makes me like the music even more!

Host was clearly a huge fan and was even dropping mentions to Chillwave in 2010; I was right there with him. First loved Toro's "Minors". "Rose Quartz", "New Beat" and his remix of Tyler The Creator's "French" are also slaps.

idk about all that. he very strangely asked if MAHAL was “real instruments” or samples early in the interview. it’s a jam album. would take anyone 15 seconds to figure out that it wasn’t samples.

What's so good/unique to Reason compared to other DAWs? I haven't tried using it in years and have mainly used Logic and Ableton (and a tiny bit of Bitwig which seems kind of a cross between Ableton and more traditional DAWs like Cubase/Logic). Just wondering what's good about Reason? I kind of remember it was frustrating as it didn't seem to work in the same ways as the other DAWs, but I did last use it about 8-10 years ago so I've no idea what's it like now. Can you use Kontakt and other plugins like that or are you limited to what's in Reason?

Ryan, thanks to you and the team for introducing the public to this gem of an artist and producer. I’m definitely digging Chaz’s artistry and looking to check out more of his works. I especially like the upfront lead vocal on the first song, it makes the track for me. And the female vocal on the second track is bannanaz sweeeeet. Nice drop.

I’m half way through this, cannot express how grateful i am for this interview, incredibly insightful, passionate interviewer who is also a good listener and knows the right questions to ask. I was already a fan of Chaz but this gave me new appreciation for what he does and his process. Thank you both ❤ I have dabbled with Reason but will definitely be revisiting it again after this, I really liked those iPad apps (figure) that you guys made many years ago, when i was learning computer music stuff as a young teen that and GarageBand on iPad were by far some of the most intuitive and easy to use tools to quickly put something together.

Firstly on the basis that Chaz sounds like such a nice, genuine and sound guy. Then I start hearing some of his productions, and I'm feeling like I could have his music in my collection.

@10 minutes, a good way to divorce yourself from the bar markers in reason is to set your project at a ridiculously high BPM, but record at a normal tempo, and then arrange everything from there with snap turned off. You can still line things up, but the bar markers will be so tiny that it will help you to ignore them on the sequencer while you're moving stuff around.

15:45 So happy I'm not the only insane person. I used to play along with Reason as a backing track, then import my recorded audio into NN19. I ran into the same issue of not being able to hear the track unless I started the song over. This lead to my earliest experiments in bending Reason to my will, which gave me confidence to try other ideas. My solution was to split the audio into measures, map each up the keyboard and trigger them in sequence, which was super time-consuming but very rewarding to figure out. I think I remember that NN-XT does this automatically and I was so happy when it was added to the rack.

Reason now has alot of stuff but from 1 to 4 it felt like actually using physical gear, and sounds like it, there was limitations similar to real gear. I listen back to My early Reason music and it sounds like the currently popular Dawlass set up. When I first see some one using Reason 2, I instantly needed it.

That topic at 16:25...I really really wish Reason will get this problem fixed in near future ( I think it's called midi note chase?). I really like Reason but I find it REALLY annoying not to hear any sound when you start playback in the middle of a long midi note. Please Reason Studios, please fix this. For me, this is a huge drawback for Reason compared to other DAWs like Cubase, Ableton or Bitwig. Other than that, thanks for the nice and interesting video as always 🙂👍
