gotta give it to mattias, he really knows how to showcase the product well yeah
I’m an old Reason user. I’ve used many DAWs. but I still go back to Reason. The paradigm of connecting/disconnecting virtual gear is really satisfying to me. I’m not having to guess what is connected to what. Just follow the cables.
Did you tryed Mulab ?
Really loved it, was extreme deep into it for several years.
I would recommend it for every beginner, cause it is cheap, has everything you need, easy to use, and you get very fast results.
But reason clearly sound better on the Audio Engine and it´s devices.
I have Reasons since 5 Love it .Protool is way over priced.
I've been a Reason user since vers. 2.5 (for more than 23 years now) and too many musicians simply are unaware of how insane Reason is. I'm guessing that if you see the amount of stuff you get for the price, you might think that 'well, half of it is probably rubbish then' and the opposite is the truth - these instruments and effects are among the finest there is.
same!
Reason will always pull me back into making music no matter what even when I don't feel like making music all I have to do is think about reason devices 😂
That spreadsheet comment is 100% accurate. DAWs are pretty much the same at this point and they all come with enough tools to keep most people busy for years. What matters is their individual workflows, QOL options, and aesthetics. I prefer Reason's virtual rack because I feel like I'm working with real equipment. rather than a piece of software.
Reason is frickin awesome. I never run out of inspiration. Been a user since Reason 3. And it only gets better and better. The players just knock it out of the park. So much fun.
his face, says it all...the funky stank face...excellent presentation...I really have no clue how reason isn't any producers favorite choice...excellent presentation by Mattias as usual; but even without any words...the sound just speaks for itself!
I still love the old versions of Reason, a lot simpler and with that awesome 3D look! I’m on Reason 6.5 and Recycle, and the fun is just endless. I also Rewire it into Live9 every now and then.
The one thing I’m really missing is Rebirth, which I began using around ‘98. I wish it was still available even if only for the iPad.
Gotta love the way Reason plays nicely with other DAWs...that's been my experienced across several. I can pull up a Reason rack in Studio One and hardly touch the CPU. Now, I have seamless access to Reason Rack. That's big. So, big I just stocked up on more Reason synths, which I love! Of course, the mixer(s) in Reason to do it all in there and pull my other VSTs in is always there. Quality. Flexibility. +1
Might be the most inspiring video I've ever watched. The enthusiasm of both the host and presenter is obvious and very contagious. Thanks!
I play keyboards live with rock cover bands. I use live many VSTs. I never considered Reason. Now with the rack that I can drive with my host, it's becoming attractive. And this video shows it very well
I use Reason 12 in a live band and only run the sequencer on one song. I use Reason on every song, playing various instruments, sometimes with splits. I know the set lists in advance. I save a file with the Reason instruments in that order, so I don't squint at the computer and scroll around between songs.
@@bullcrane1 I use GigPerformer which is a nice host for a full automation of a concert with virtual instruments
It really is fun. Reason pulled me out of a three year writing block sometime ago and whilst I still spend some time in trusty cubase, ableton, and logic but when I want to have fun, and just write something for the hell of it. It’s truely unique compared to the others in my opinion, there’s nothing quite like it
This is an amazing and wonderful journey. It also made me feel validated about not being able to switch to Ableton after years and years of trying. I just love Reason and the spirit of how it works. It just makes me happy and makes making tunes FUN.
I've been a user since v1 in beta when it was two separate products (Reason and Record).
Reason is awesome, I started making music with Reason in 2003,I use Logic Pro now and the only reason I switched was because they took so long to add 3rd party plugin functionality. If they would've made that available earlier I never would've left. I now use Reason inside of Logic Pro and I absolutely love it! I was blessed to be selected as a beta tester for Reason 13 and I am loving the new updates! I highly recommend Reason!!!
I'm a Logic Pro guy who sometimes uses Ableton, but I have Reason 5 running on a 2008 MacBook (still). It's super interesting to see what Reason has become all of these years later. I love the concept of making your own synth inside of Reason - that's a killer feature. Also, great video - subscribed!
The combinator is an amazing tool. One fun thing that I’ve done with it is to take several instances of a mono synth I like the sound of and then use Blamsoft's Distributor (paid extension - $9) to turn it into a polysynth. Each mono can be configured slightly differently so every note will have some variation that is repeatable, not necessarily random.
It can also act as an effects chain that you can build and drop in wherever you need it. Such a versatile tool, especially now that they've opened it up and made it customizable with more controls.
Reason 12 can be loaded into Logic as VST.
@@somuchfortalent But can you use Reason's sequencer to control Logic in the same way that you used to be able to with Rewire?
I prefer Reason's sequencer and the virtual rack and virtual CV signals for suuper fine tuning of certain values that often aren't possible through other means. I love that Reason supports VST now, but none of my Reason rewired with Ableton projects will work with the last couple of versions of Reason. Rewire was awesome, and everything had it, so it's a damn shame it's been abandoned. I used to use Ableton as my mixing console for Reason, but now I'm not sure how, or if I can still do that. I also used Ableton for mixing bounced files instead of Reason due to my Reason files growing to multiple gigs* for complex projects, which wasn't an issue for Ableton (*saving copies as I progressed, I practically needed a HD for each project x_x ).
What an awesome video. Mattias seems like a really genuine fella!
This is a great overview, thanks!
Never seen this video before. Good to see Mylarmelodies checking Reason.
Very very nice to watch !
thanks
Thank you!
Great presentation!
Great video, thanks!
You've shown everything what I looooove about Reason!
Wicked Sound! Ouuu my god! 13:24
Great video! I have been with Propellerhead since Rebirth. I love using Reason today (standalone, or as a VST in other DAWS) and maybe Propellerhead can make an updated Rebirth rack extension (without it being a direct copy of Roland stuff if copyright is still an issue).
Not sure how I got here but Reason was my first introduction into beat making. One of my friends had an uncle that was into edm or whatever and had this disc that said “propellerhead reason 3” but we were into hiphop and tried to make due with this copy of reason we had. We were loading samples into redrum, not really knowing what we were doing, making some absolute bullshit. I didn’t really figure it out until I got my hands on recycle and used drrex like an mpc. The last time I remeber using reason, long was barely being introduced and I remember being upset they replaced drrex with octorex. I used it as a rack from time to time with rewire.
Reason will always be good in my book but it’s definitely a program that nobody ever talks about.
I have the Hydrasynth and Europa was the synth I learned on that actually had a visualization of the oscillator and filter movement. Ive been a longtime Reason user. the modifiers are the mutators kinda like the modifiers on Europa
ok now im goin go download it
Being able to resample everything in Reason it boss!
Nice one Mattias, I still waiting for someone to convince me to use or even try another DAW period. LOL
Dam you haven't even tried another one lol. B4 reason had audio I used pro tools and abelton live. I dropped them when audio and rack extensions came around.
@@kjwworldwideI've always been a synth player so I only deal with audio when mixing (not always) and\or mastering and prior to Reason 6 (or Record) I use to just do it inline as I don't have any issues to deal with like floor noise etc...
I produced "Club 80 - In the dark" with Reason. Have been using it since 2015. When I have guest in the studio, they tell me how quick and easy the editing and tuning vocals can be. With support for VST3 there is very little you can't do. But I know it's limitations and keep using it for songwriting and producing.
Reason device's are great.
Reason is fantastic 😊
Reason has the fire syths thats a fact
...ableton homies always are in awe ✅
Best sales pitch ever
You convinced me 🎉
The reason vst won't load in Reaper. Anyone get it working in Reaper?
Reason since 2.0, bought every upgrade. but this video wants be to buy it all over again haha.
22:12 = The question whose answer slightly blows Mylar's mind
Lovely. Can the players be routed to control external (real) midi equipment? Thanks. ❤🎉
Absolutely yes!
The visual style for the stacking deffiantly is appeasing and good, it's still a good DAW To use
GREAT instrument and sounds amazing. more for a synth user of experience. layout a bit messy for someone without synth experience.
Why didn't you show the mixer???
Owning 90% of what Reason and plugin alliance has made. No need for subscription. Then i watch this and now i need those sounds packs 😭. I finally gave in.
Reason since 2.5, now on 12, and I'm fighting that urge right now. The new players would be so useful.
Are 'old' Reason files from previous versions (i.e. From Reason 4) compatible with Reason 11/12? I'm considering upgrading to Reason 12.
DR. OCTO REX NEEDS A GLIDE BUTTON
THOR NEEDS REVAMPED WITH A THICKER ANALOG SOUND AND KORG ELETRIBE DOES THAT. AND THE SEQUENCER COULD BE REDESIGNED. 2 MATRIX BELOW AND A NEW THOR SEQUENCER?
Try out "the legend" by synapse. I think it has what you're looking for.@@christopherrichards8808
the packs should be available for ppl that bought reason too, not just subscribsion.
Reason = LEGO
mind is the limit
but u need to add 3rd party VSTs ... softube, PA, arturia, soundtoys,... (this "analog" good stuff)
Redrum forever!
Propellerhead was the first to use Rewire
they invented/created it... and they're letting it die off.🥲 I hope they can come up with a paid version or something.
Of all the DAWs i like Reason the Best .I just hope they don't do what Pro Tools did with their License
waiting on 14
Reaper is great also
Love Reason but I don't like the decisions this company has been making. There is 0% chance I'll be renting my software, and it's a bit of a sucker punch for RS to favor the renters over the buyers with the extra goodies. Many of the buyers have been around since the early versions. Don't leave them out just to favor the renters.
What are you talking about? The subscription is for the monthly sound packs. The perk to subbing is that if you don't own a specific device, you can still use the sound pack because they give you access to everything. If you want the sound packs, buy them. Don't complain that they're not giving them away for free when people put their time into making them.
The subscription is for the DAW plus devices NOT included in a perpetual license. The perk is access to to everything and WEEKLY sound packs for subs. Renters can cancel any time and are not invested in the software. Buyers ARE invested in the software and get less for their money than renters. @@somuchfortalent
@@somuchfortalent That's not accurate, the OP has it right. I don't blame RS for a sound business decision - I'm sure it's good for their bottom line - but it is annoying that upgrading no longer gets you the latest instruments, players and effects. They throw in a couple, but you have to buy most separately, whereas a Plus sub gets you everything, including the Sound Packs. I didn't mind waiting for a new version to get the new gear, but it's not as worth it for me to upgrade anymore.
Please don,t go the protool route
The daws that don’t have clones. Reason and FL studio
Take my money! . . . oh, you already have 😋
Reason is life i wouldnt do anything else
ah, so you created your own minitaur, eh?
Reason is slept on. Why? I have no idea! maybe because it doesn't have some already popular producer making a hit in it but, it's awesome. My only issue is that they took the racks out of it lol
Reason is fun for nerds.
Once circle makes other circle do stank face.
Reason has become nothing but an instrument loader for most people, cause that seems to be the only thing that it does well.
Please elaborate?
I use it to make complete House tracks and have made some decent music! If people can't make a song with it they have bigger problems. Using as a VST opens a whole new realm of possibilities but i can see the hard core users want a pure DAW experience and dont like diluting the program but for me personally, I use it as a stand alone DAW!
Reason USED to come with over 80 devices. Since reason 12 they jacked everything out and make you pay for a FX RACK.
Reason is so far behind the competition though. I had to step away from reason for the sake of my career. perhaps they should make their "devices" vst plugins... because reason is today, detrimental to artists. The competition is too far ahead...
Don't forget that their devices do run as VST plugins in the Reason Rack Plugin.
How is it "so far behind" tho? I'm genuinely asking, because it still makes more sense to me than the others. Plus, I get ok results with Reason. Only ok because I'm not great, not because Reason isn't great.
@@jbrassic5434 Could be that I've been spoiled with other DAW's, maybe reason isnt far behind and other DAW's are just far ahead? either way, Propellerhead isn't fighting fire with fire right now. I've made career changing music with Propellerhead software, I've been around since rebirth. What's always compelled me about reason is that since it was self-contained, I could come back to my projects 5 years later and theyd still be there, waiting, working... then reason 8 i think it was.. with record. they added, then lost the line 6 amp plugins, projects started breaking, then came vst support. now vender updates are a gamble... I mean these are things I need to manage in other DAW"s but what I loved about reason was precisely that I didn't have to. I used what was built in and I was happy with that..
I think their doing too much now a days, and none of it to an efficiency thats better than whats on offer in other DAW's. Reaper is small and fast, logic has industry leading song writing assistance, like virtual drummers... Live treats Audio files like you would an instrument.. they all do something thats top of their class. reaper... what is it good for?
Old versions of reaper, the routing was novel, i could use the vocoder to break my signal down by the band and program the combinator to trigger things on and off.. and yeah you could do that now, but reason isnt taking advantage of the advanced routing, their focus seems to be in partnering up with venders and piecemealing plugins and additions to their software. Also, pushing a subscription service... I think their shooting themselves in the foot. They were in a place of their own, and because of that they were the best at doing what they do, but now... theyve put themselves in the same place as everyone else.. and they simply cant compete with what other DAW's are doing right now...
Yes, sequencer lacks features of other DAWs but IMHO rack and Instruments are ahead of other DAW manufacturers. Although, if you don't like the sequencer you can use it as a plugin in another DAW. It's all about choices
As an owner of Ableton 11, Bitwig 5, Sonar and Cubase 12 Reasons 12 is a remarkable program that can run standalone or as a VST which makes it super powerful. but it really depends on what you make, I do electronic music so it inside Bitwig allows me endless possibilities...
First off all its not reason, it’s a subscription. With reason you don’t get any of their new stuff. Thanks you for making reason the most undesirable daw.
Yes you have to buy every new device since Reason 12 or do subscription, however that's the same for most Pugin and DAW brands nowadays.
You have a choice - buy the perpetual licence but pay extra for devices and upgrades or subscribe, simples
@@robbarnett684 grab the money wherever they can.
Dont like it dont use it! Personally, I couldn't careless about the sub for $20 per month it's worth it to me or buy it outright.
"why can't i have free stuff"
every starving "artist" ever.
