  • A beatmaking tip came up on the Reason Livestream with Adam Fielding was so good that it deserved its own tutorial video. When it comes to programming beats, using Beat Map's AI to generate top end elements like hi hats and percussion while programming the main feel yourself for the kick and snare can be a quick way to add constant variety, fills, and interest to your drum patterns. Ryan shows you how in this video.

    Say you start now and you subscribe for three years and you put like £700 into it, then you need to stop it for whatever reason, you are going to roll back to a version that is at least 2 years old. There should be some kind of period of time where after say a year, you roll back max 12 months and after 2 years, you keep the latest release. etc etc - that would seem fairer in those scenarios.

    Going back to ReBirth, something I loved to bring in was an evolving beat. I'd do this by altering whatever's going on in a pattern, manually or via ReBirth itself. For more variety, you go with random but, you keep your kick & snare as they were, or with minor variations. - That's more or less as you've described here, Ryan. You don't run out of rhythmic ideas. - Old Dog: New Tricks? or, New Dog: Different Tricks?

    Ableton 11 is coming and all the other main DAWS has already surpassed Reason. As a Reason user if Reason 12 isn’t on Ableton 11 level I think it’s time for y’all to shut it down and focus on sound design. It’s either y’all can’t keep with other DAWS or just refuse to give user real updates. There’s big holes that needs fixing and new features that needs to be added. I love Reason I think it’s the best for music creation but it’s sad that it never gets the TLC that it needs to too be best DAW that it should be.
