Vocal Sample Juggling: Super Neat Beat Cheat Sheet

[@blaxative]

Reason needs to bring this series back

[@sattv9370]

True. They need to bright it back. I come back to the series from time to time.

[@gainesdominique]

Agreed.

[@Gray_UK]

This video series inspires me every time! Thanks again, Ryan.

[@player042]

Another great video! Thanks Propellerhead

[@djceddy6945]

I love Reason even more after watching this cheat sheet video for sure! I like when Ryan says.... mess up, have fun and create the new sounds we inspire to make! Agreed for sure. Not just audio sample kits to download and purchase. Make your own is the best part.

[@whoddaya]

Limits to creativity are literally endless. I'm mesmerized. Thanks for this!

[@rolunetn]

Thank you!! I've struggled a lot to understand this kind of effect in modern music. And now it's super easy!

[@alexmontgomery4471]

I agree with other comments on these videos. I don’t use Reason but these are such good tutorials they inspire every time and the teaching style is so easy to follow!

[@wadecarson3386]

2021. These are still great, useful tutorials.

[@sieziumusic588]

Going to try working with vocals soon, this is so inspiring @Propellerhead! Love the capabilities of Reason! Thanks and props to you!

[@energylab227]

Love that "Automap chromatically" tip! 😎

[@davids736]

energylab227 agreed! :-)

[@SpiderBRidin]

I've done this several times with samples, but not my own vocals... Brilliant! This is why I love Reason so much! Thanks for the tip🖒

[@l3ftyxdudemax7]

wtf. been scouring for tips and tricks since lockdown. finally. a tutorial that is is concise straight to the point but beautifully well made with sonically important information. Guess I'm buying reason now

[@Sumbibebe]

Super cool lesson and that track is happening!!

[@michellew.3691]

Your videos are eye and mind-opening. And makes reason a better place to enjoy!

[@mrhelperguy4]

Thanks for the tutorial! Been looking for just this exactly.

[@zealmajesty4952]

Great work ! Even with its 5 years old, this Tuto is still incredible.

[@Datacult]

Ryan, I love you! ;) Although I'm not actually a Reason user, I still in find so much inspiration in your Cheat Sheets. Thumbs up twice!

[@ReasonStudios]

Well I'm happy to have you around, Marco! Everybody's welcome. We don't check your DAW membership card at the door. /ryan

[@skeledrop9923]

Agreed. Ryan's videos are very informative and I am mostly a Bitwig user but I have bought Reason 10 intro and am liking it a lot. I wouldn't say I'd leave bitwig as that suits me well but I use Reason for the fun factor and the great sounds ... I like the colourfulness of Reason and how everything feels like I'm in my own studio. Reason is a great daw !!!!!!!!

[@hedron1985]

Ryan, your tutorials are top notch!

[@JeremiahTrue]

As someone who has had limited interest or practical use for sampling, this was a great tutorial. I don't trust my voice to sing but I can definitely make this work with some vocoder effects.

[@paulweyer4339]

Love these videos. Ryan's got a knack for explaining this stuff (aside from doing it).

[@anzatzi]

Is this Ryan? Brilliant video!

[@kayedans8779]

Just beautiful

[@wesheriveaux9325]

That is a sick trick, OMG

[@terra_h4429]

Now, if NN-XT would get an upgrade it would be the best thing in the world. For example, if i load a longer audio clip into this sampler it is so ANNOYING to have to hold the "shift" key while moving the mouse from one side of my room to the other just to be able to set that perfect starting point for the sample using the "start" knob. I know there are workarounds to this but i LOVE the NN-XT and i wish it was treated with more respect by the Props. Also, I loved this tutorial. Thank you, Ryan!

[@followyourbliss101]

thanks for showing the steps in doing this! Can't wait to play around with it. It's a lot to learn at first but looks like it's pretty easy once you've done it a few times. Definitely a less is more technique. It was way overboard when it was overlapping lyrics.

[@anzatzi]

I was just thinking of this issue. Suppressing consonants is brialliant. Thanks!

[@FilippeFlogger]

Wow! Great video Ryan.

[@MartinGonzalez-vh9ug]

I was exactly looking for this type of tutorial.. Thanks man!!! i love propellerheads

[@fang425]

Ryan, I became a fan of you because of reason tutorial!!!

[@MonoLith2049]

That is mint! Easy to understand & simple to do! Tidy

[@LeopoldoVictor]

Ryan, dude, if possible, can u upload this project? Id love to practice flowing your steps.

[@johnkasonga6634]

Wow. Excellent video. Thanks

[@luvidfrankkelyslinares1551]

Amazing. I thank you so much. You're a great producer and very creative.

[@simplejournal9613]

Thanks alot man! Always shrieked away from sampling a bit. Gonna head right into it tomorrow :)

[@heikaymusic]

one of the best Reason tip! Thx!!

[@davids736]

I first discovered Reason in 2002/3 when it was a very early version, maybe even v1. Anyhow, I really liked it even then, but the general vibe was that it was a bit of a "toy" DAW, not really something to create music on professionally, like FruityLoops or whatever. However, Reason has evolved into an INCREDIBLE piece of software, totally out there for professional use. But, I do wonder if, even now, it has shaken off that reputation. I really do hope so, because from what I have seen of other DAWs, Reason is (for me and IMHO of course!) the best that's out there, and thoroughly deserves to be recognised as such. Any thoughts on that? :-)

[@DylansAndHoes]

David S reason is professional as hell and I don't even use it. But there are instagram vids of Timbaland using it. Timbo! The Beat king. Enough said! Hahaha

[@wesheriveaux9325]

I love that second track

[@aldricmorris148]

That's a cool technique!!

[@heikaymusic]

Hey Ryan, where can i get your 380 productionfacts? I need them!!

[@sal-rage]

i wasn't able to find the list anywhere.....

[@ReasonStudios]

I mean... there's not REALLY 380 of them but somewhere up in the comments I pasted the list I made for the video.

[@weststarr2046]

Nice SHOW as allways!!! But....WHERE can i get that beat, i mean the whole song, incluiding the first chopped vocal made along Junten Williams? THANKS in advance BOYZZ!!

[@lebate.j.1368]

Wow.. so Amazing creativity.. thanks lot... Sir..

[@omarsharif927]

Wow that is so cool awesome tip

[@dwaynemusik]

man this track is beautiful!!!!!!!!

[@wardulenaers]

where can you find only voice records. I can't record so...

[@justmic2771]

where can i check out your music. u got amazing stuff?

[@ternitamas]

Using the voice as an instrument is a very interesting concept, enya based her career on it, creating textures from overdubbing

[@Marylegs14]

Cheers Ryan

[@punchingthepad8626]

Is there a way to figure out the key or tune an 808 sample in kong or any other sampler ?

[@nmohan1936]

Where can i get a copy of your crazy list :P ??

[@ReasonStudios]

366) Two kick drums sound better than one kick drum, almost always 367) If you can’t play it fast, play it slow with feeling 368) The catchiest melody will come to you at the least convenient time 369) Bass guitar playing synth lines - bad move. Synth bass playing bass guitar lines - great move 370) Lazer tom toms are never the right call 371) Oboes are like clarinets with a HPF filter on them. They’re the trance arp of the orchestra 372) If I’m distorting a vocal, it better be as cool as Beck or Beastie Boys or else I’m blowing it 373) Separate tracks for each drum makes for good mix technique. Separate tracks for each drum hit, bad technique 374) When isn’t banjo the right instrument to add to heavy metal? Answer: never 375) 140bpm at half time doesn’t feel the same as 70bpm. It just doesn’t, m’kay? 376) Half rhymes in rap count for 3x as many rap-points 377) One oscillator square wave subtractive synths were all we REALLY needed in life 378) Castanets will never substitute tambourines 379) Some bands are better live than on record. Other bands just aren’t good anywhere. 380) Vocoders are a conspiracy put forth by the French to make everyone else feel unskilled as producers 381) Some of the best hooks sound weird on first listen, but catchy the next time (see also: Rock Lobster) 382) I’ve spent far more time editing and covering up my lack of piano skill than I would’ve spent learning piano

[@foxfire180]

This needs to be on the top!

[@appar1tixn]

and other previous 300? or they're just to make a fun big number? =) @@ReasonStudios

[@Zegmaar_Bas]

pfff, real power user just use KZbin's 0.25 playback speed and just pause a lot ;)

[@uniqhnd23]

@@Zegmaar_Bas I love how people come back to these incredible videos even after many years.

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

That bassline at 9:25! Hooooo!!

[@ReasonStudios]

My friend Ben played that and I shared your comment with him. He was very happy. Thanks for making Ben happy. :) /ryan

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

You need to feature your friend Ben more often! :-) Keep it up Ryan, sweet tutorials!

[@andreasmusic1222]

Not only a great tutorial but also an incredible song! Any ideas for what plugins a logic pro user can use to get this sound?

[@KiloMegaGigaTerra94]

This one of the biggest cheat sheets ever. This is basically the style of most of todays music.

[@MartinGonzalez-vh9ug]

hey Ryan where can I check out your music ??

[@Jiffthegeneral]

Lol...Classic Na Na Nineteen Person...(jeez forgot all about that song) .love that reference!

[@gainesdominique]

Thanks. I love this.

[@jyseninthecloud]

Ever since i heard CHURCHES "The Mother We Share" I've always wanted to create that sweet vocal juggling :)

[@Nelkrod]

Please Ryan, please, I want the song starting at 2:00!! It's so catchy.

[@BeatCommission]

Very useful tutorial, loved it... but I have a question: Is the Reason 9 upgrade EVER going to be on sale for $99 or less?

[@aaronkandlik]

Is it possible to arrange the slices by pitch automatically, so they correspond with the correct key on a keyboard? (I know I could go though all my samples and do it manually).

[@JotaStroeter]

Thats great!

[@typo1807]

I'm saving this video until im skilled enough to try it....for now I just bought reasons V10 intro. Any free refills or sounds you can recommend?

[@djkirkdigglerusn5476]

I love this video brother FOR REAL thanks a bunch :)

[@careylea5922]

Thank you!

[@galiab_dnb]

Love this!

[@AutumnRed]

Any way to get the name of the song at 1:04 by Justin Williams and Ryan Whatever? I guess not, that question were made like one year ago and still no answer...

[@Ryan93Lion]

This was dope

[@ReasonStudios]

Glad you liked it. :)

[@moltengrace]

2:42 Is there a tutorial or another vid that describes what was done here with the vocals? It says it was "doubled, upwards compressed, and pitch edited" and the end result is vocal clips that segue into one another seemlessly, even with space in between. I would love to replicate this effect but am unsure of what precisely you did. I can see you made two audio tracks with the vocal clip, but the one on the bottom looks like it's been compressed. Is that really all it takes to get vocals to sound like that? I feel like there has go to be more to it simply because it sounds so nice

[@ReasonStudios]

Sure... I made a whole video about my vocal processing techniques. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn61Yamjlpxmr6M

[@moltengrace]

Sweet, this is perfect. 🎤+ 🎼🎼🎼 = 💡

[@3dfantasymarkkun]

Thanks! Awesome vid! Keep them coming! :D

[@EsquireMusic111]

Amazing! Thanks for the tip!!!!

[@titi8137]

wow thank you

[@1lovjoy]

I love it!!

[@42HockeyFan]

Awesome!

[@xvicermusic]

AWESOME!!

[@douglastname9189]

These vids are informative and hilarious

[@anzatzi]

Wow/ great workl

[@Theuf28]

ty so much!

[@jimmahey6615]

That list is hilarious

[@BloodPreist]

Is there a setting to automatically trim all samples to remove clicks? Is there any reason why this isn't implemented already?

[@ReasonStudios]

You could skip that fade step I'm doing and wait until you've clipped everything up, then select them all and set the fade at the same time. /ryan

[@alex_arguelles_echevarria]

Mucho like!

[@jyseninthecloud]

Incredible! nice one ;)

[@djkirkdigglerusn5476]

Thanks bro :)

[@tobiaskonheiser]

Can someone tell me what's the name of this song, he is editing?

[@xlife123]

Cool - thank u! :)

[@AlexJohn2us]

YES

[@kotchuprecords9286]

😳 awesome

[@RedMartyr]

374 is kinda confusing... so is it never or is it not never (or even not ever ?) lol

[@arothmanmusic]

Not that this isn't a cool gimmick, but this is kinda why every song in the Top 40 Pop Charts this year sounds like a Pogo remix. By the time you've seen a tutorial on how to do something, you can be sure it's already played out.

[@amnishubby24]

do you have a tutorial about mixing and mastering a song to make it sound proffessional?

[@ReasonStudios]

Hey Alex I've got a whole series called "Ryan's Picks for Quick Mix Fix Tricks" that I do from time to time. If you look on our channel you can find them. I'll attempt to link them here as well... There's one on the benefits of mixing in mono to help your mix sound professional: kzbin.info/www/bejne/il63oYOCr7ejqbc Two Knobs That'll Change your Mix: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3KUaJ-PfLGkps0 Finally Understanding Levels and Clipping: kzbin.info/www/bejne/il63oYOCr7ejqbc But I also have more videos in this Super Neat Beat Cheat Sheet Series worth checking out because they all contain mix tips too - like the one on Liquid Drum and Bass covers parallel processing, for example. Thanks for watching! I considering doing a mastering tutorial soon but I want to make sure it's done right. There's some really terrible videos out there where people overprocess their masters just to make the video comparison from before and after sound more dramatic. Mastering is a subtle art that doesn't lend itself to video tutorials but I might try. /ryan

[@amnishubby24]

Do you have a video on how to use automation clips?

[@ReasonStudios]

Both good questions, Alex. As for mastering, I'm considering how to do one because it's an often requested topic. The problem is that mastering is a really subtle artform and videos usually only work when you can REALLY tell the difference. The risk is to overdue the mastering to make it more obvious when you A/B compare them - but then I'm teaching bad mastering technique. I'm still giving that one some thought, so I can teach you all good info that is clear to see as well. As for the automation one, I tend to cover automation whenever the topic comes up in various tutorials but what sort of use of automation clips did you have in mind? Thanks for watching and asking! /ryan

[@billgue7543]

Have Reason 8, and can't seem to select more than one sample at a time to bring into the NN-XT. Any advice?

[@ReasonStudios]

Are you holding down shift to select multiple samples? It should work the exact same way in 8 and 9. /ryan

[@billgue7543]

That did the trick. I was holding down control. Thanks! As a beginner, these videos are fantastic :)

[@cerebrumexcrement]

Cool

[@sulevyoooo]

opening track? its crazy

[@tverdyznaqs]

Hi, I am an FL Studio user. Is there a way to do this (6:51 - 7:05) in FL?

[@mihailfomin5194]

ZzzesChannel use slicex

[@tverdyznaqs]

Micha F mkay, this is a good idea, thanks

[@Nokka10]

I hate the way a lot of these tutorials all assume we all know the terms and explainations. I really wished there was a set of tutorials in sequence so i can progress as i go.

[@TyphoidMary1980]

could've taken out a step further by incorporating a synchronous and alligator filter

[@TheWorldTeacher]

8:57 The sampled voice counterpoint is a tad too loud in the mix for me, so much so that is seems to be part of the vocal part.

[@GhostSamaritan]

Makes it sound like Daft Punk.

[@Zeisslermusic]

reason is cool :-)

[@463-l9t]

Oo this looks fancy I'm still on reason 5 :(

[@litibarra407]

Reason 5 has enough to get to know getting reason 9 has to much I'll get lost in all the goodies I'm having trouble with my vocals do you need a mic or just the laptop one they talk about all the other stuff but never what you need to get it recorded

[@I-_-I_SB]

YOU BASTARDS, KILLED ALLIHOOPA😳 \-_-/

[@shearkhanbangerz4881]

My samples come out really really great and I don't use any of these techniques. I have my secrets haha. Still a good video

[@LeopoldoVictor]

Can u share them like Ryan did?
