    It's hard to fully comprehend the impact the Beastie Boys have had on popular music. In collaborations with Rick Rubin and The Dust Brothers, the Beastie Boys have birthed some of the most infectious and fun beats of the last 25 years. From the early 2000s, on a recommendation from band-mate Mike D, Adam Horovitz (Adrock) started making beats in Reason and instantly ditched his venerable SP1200. Reason has been at the heart of their beat laboratory ever since.

    @saynotogmailforyoutu have you seen the deleted scenes? It's all old stories from Adam and the Beastie Boys. There's tons of cool stuff in there and no mention of Reason if you're not into that. We wanted to share both... cool stories, and also how Adam uses Reason since that's what our users are interested in also.

      @MilkoOfficialChannel 5 років тому +3

      I think he knows better than you. He started to make music because it was exciting for him, you just get tired of doing things the same way. He eventually will go back to the SP and then back to Reason again because you just have more options to explode your ideas into it. Easy.

    Actual Chopping steps on the SP......1.sample loop, copy it to all pads. 2. save. 3. delete all pads except for one. 4. chop first sound, usually a kick. 5.permenately truncate. 6. load loop to next pad. 7. chop next sound. 8. permenately truncate.....keep loading and chopping until you have all your drums or sounds chopped. So ya, ReCycle is a lil faster

    It always depresses me, but then also doesn't surprise me, when I read racist screeds under UA-cam videos. How about we just watch Adam talk about music for a few minutes? Sounds infinitely more fun and/or interesting to me. Hip-hop/rap is for everyone, regardless of race, and the Beastie Boys helped to drive that point home. Weren't a whole lot of white folks in the rap game when they came on the scene, and there still really aren't now. They're the definition of pioneers.

    @NachtSchreck13 Рік тому +2

    Yeah but Reason will never sound anywhere near as dope as an SP1200. as far as the tedious copying and pasting and cutting of samples on the SP1200, the ENSONIQ samplers killed it back in the day. When you loaded or recorded a sample, every copy was a ghost copy of that original sample, and no matter how many copies you made, you still had just that one original sample in the memory. You could copy a breakbeat, kick on one key, snare on another, reverse snare on yet another key, hihats, etc. and none of those copies used additional RAM.
