    He said "Hope you enjoyed, and go make some music", that's right, didn't ask for likes or subscribes. Brilliant video.

      George Koukouris - I hate the artists that ask for subscribers. This guy is genuine.

    • @Lebowski69
      @Lebowski69 6 років тому +46

      Guys... this is an advert or "infomercial". He doesnt care about subs, he is trying to make his product (Reason) look attractive to you. He says "go make some music" but what he means is "go a purchase my product and use it to make music"

    • @idiomasentusiasticos7954
      @idiomasentusiasticos7954 6 років тому +20

      Lebowski69 - That’s just basic business. You didn’t have to explain it. It was implied. What I was trying to say is, he isn’t one of those desperate people that tell you to either sub/spend your money. He does it properly.

    • @Lebowski69
      @Lebowski69 6 років тому +12

      I agree. Asking is just sad. Nobody is going to sub just because the video told them to. Show me something interesting/relevant to me and I will sub.

    • @idiomasentusiasticos7954
      @idiomasentusiasticos7954 6 років тому +5

      Lebowski69 - Exactly. When people beg it just kinda makes me feel bad for them in a way, but also just repels me. This dude knows how to advertise. I don’t really like the product, but it was interesting to watch.

    I’ve been a Reason user for years. All the Propellerhead tutorials are awesome and all have a friendly “just do it” feel. THIS one however takes that to another level. This man is so inspiring and smooth with his skills that I literally jumped out of bed and started working on my next film score right after watching this! Beyond awesome!

    Here's the elephant in the room. Justen is absolutely amazing no matter what controller he's using. It's nice of Reason to share his elite skill set with the masses, Akai like Arturia both have released many products that essentially have no reputation for having a real 1to1 integration with hardly any software daw. Justen is being Justen but there's no mention of any recent developments software wise to support the functionality we're seeing here. Justen knows his stuff but the average consumer needs to know specifics. These controllers aren't new by any means yet these videos will lead some into thinking they are. Both Akai and Reason should have really teamed up on this presentation and explain to the consumer why buying Akai for Reason is the way to go. Again, Justen is a phenomenal talent, but he's not making the millions of dollars from the equipment. He's a skilled musician and skilled Reason user but it's not his job to reassure the consumer base.

      Johnnie Harris Reason is dope, and I'm a longtime user, but it's not for everybody. It's not as easy as everything else out there, but it will make you a real engineer if you're really into being more than a "plug and play" type. Most people are scared of Reason, but there's no need to be. People just don't want to take the time to learn.

    Update: AKAI's promotion to receive a free copy of Reason 11 Lite when you purchase this controller is over! I was so disappointed because they sent me a discount code for the purchase of Ableton Live instead. I already had Ableton Live. What a bummer! I really wanted to start out making beats like Justen, using this controller and software.

    Thanks for the info! I learned a lot from this video. I am transitioning from guitar 🎸 over to beat making but not giving up on the guitar. I layer the guitar in with my beats. Or, when playing a gig, I just play the beats and come in with the guitar live and improvise to the beats. I’m more of a live performer and most of the times I make a beat up on the spot. Thanks again! ✌️
