I've been a drummer for 25 years and was introduced to Cubase when I was 17 but never got into it. I was then introduced to Reason and Logic when I was 19 and never got into those either. 13 years later and I somehow went absolutely crazy for Ableton and have been addicted to it for the last 4 years. I've just decided to check out the Reason plugin and MAN I wish I had explored it more when I was 19. Better late than never.....

Ryan- you are a true talent in the creative realm and an absolute gift to the Reason team!

What a solid casual production. Mimic is just the best ready sampler available today.

7:18 we need a whole version of this please. Love the sound.

Reason is one amazing DAW... They make the software feel like your in a real studio, and mimic is a very good addition to the reason family... I hope to god within the future of Reasons DAW THEY CHANGE THE THEMES IN THE D.A.W AND SEQUENCER AND MIXER but the overall D.A.W is amazing!!! I love it they are one of the leaders in the industry!!!🔥🔥💯💯

Wow, this looks soo dope! Soooo this is what happens when Grain, ReCycle, and Dr OctoRex have a baby!?!? Aaaaah man, I love it! I can’t wait to use this later today! Thank you 🙏🏽!

This is exactly what I had suggested not too long ago. We needed a flexible/modern sampler ala Ableton and bitwig. One of the few things I'm excited for. Lazy chop should be on the list of updates for mimic, lazy chop should be a feature for mimic. Read the sentence before this one Reason.

I have not used reason in many years. I love it. I cannot believe how far they have come. This is incredible.

This is getting me pumped! I’m excited to upgrade 👌 Add a dark mode on the SSL and I’ll never use another DAW again lol

I never knew the Reason is not alike. It is unique and got its own lane. Especially that Objekt modelling synth, damn man!

I think Reason Studios always nails the design of their devices. They look modern but also carry a lot of character. I also like Abletons design language but they just don`t have so much character to them. Great job Reason Studios!

I just bought Reason 12 yesterday after seeing all it has to offer now. I'm a 36 year old going back for his Masters degree, so I got Reason+ 12 for only $99. Reason 3 was my first DAW I bought back in 2007. I learned so much from it. I had only used things like the Korg Triton before that, but that keyboard wasn't mine, so I had to part ways when I left my parent's house after high school. I only switched from Reason to Reaper in 2009 because Reason 3 didn't allow audio recording at that time. I've went through a ton of DAWs since then. Currently using Pro Logic X since 2018. But I'm happy that I've decided to switch back to Reason. And so happy I can now use all my plugins with it, as well all my outboard synths and drum machines. The reason why I also love Reason is the built-in SSL like mixer. I don't like using so many plugins. I value being able to mix on a board. Rather it be analog or a built-in one that resembles an analog one. Which is one of the reason why I used Cakewalk Sonar for years (in the past before switching from PC to Mac).

I use many many many samples and this has me more excited than things I cannot mention here. Excellent work!

Just got reason 12.. love it!!

THIS is what I've been asking for years. Might make me come back to Reason after watching this.

Your reason rack behind you is the most realistic rack I have ever seen. Reason has done a really good job on realism. I bet it makes you feel like you are in a real recording studio.

There is no other Music making software like REASON on this Planet. Period! - From a 20+ years reason user. (Although I only use it as a Rack Plugin / REWIRE)

Man, thank you for this content. This is helpful, we need a lot more content from Reason on how to use all the tools

I see me using this A LOT when R12 has dropped. Nice job!

I was skeptical of what this new sampler would entail but gotta say I'm very impressed. 7 things I was very much hoping it had and 4 (3 of which NN-XT doesn't have) I know it has from this video:- Playing a sample up and down the keyboard without it changing speed, layering samples and transient detection with sensitivity. I now need to find out if the other 3 are there - tempo detect, tempo match and key detection but doesn't immediate seem so at first glance. However, if these features aren't in Mimic, it could be rectified if in Reason 12 you add tempo detect, tempo match and key detection of audio in the sequencer and allow to be easily just dragged into Mimic.

Excellent video. Very well explained. Unlike the other videos out there where the person seems confused or unprepared.

First 30 seconds got a like from me! "I don't use samples ^^;;" I stayed away because I saw way too many songs that were nothing but Dr Rex stock clips. It made me fear that if I wrote something bad, people might tell me it sounds good just because of the samples. I obviously came here with an open mind. After watching this video I am DEF going to give mimic a try!

You nailed the UX with Mimic. Congratulations, Reason team. Looking forward to playing with it.

Fantastic new sampler! Great addition to Reason.

Thank you for this, I've always used NN-XT as my default sampler (mostly because I was using an older version of Reason) and just started messing around with Mimic recently. This is a huge help. I've always loved that weird chopped up vocal sound but could never quite get it to the point I was shooting for, so now I'm super excited to get in and try these techniques out.

I wish Reason came up with this before, a proper sampler with slicing features was missing since a long time.

People people, the ones that are hating, if you don’t like it don’t use it.

Time to dig out all those sample CDs from 20 years ago I think... Nice one, ReasonStudios!

I have never used a sampler but this mimic thing has me hooked now. And they way you explain it is very very good. From now on I am creating my own instruments from samples.

You’re golden my man. This is such great content!

People who never used Serato Sample, Ableton Simpler, or the sampler in Bitwig: Oh my god! This is life changing!!

ok so you put the Time stretching algorythm we got for decade on the timeline of Reason, directly from the sampler FINALY !!!

im glad that there are stereo multi outs on this. could be a replacement for redrum.

The last section shows a great alternative to Exhale and you can use your own samples. Looking forward to the update next month.

I’ll try to sum it up: It’s basically grain advanced. The sampler has no pitch recognition, so I need to know in advance what key my sample is in. As much as I like the functionality of this device, this is one important feature missing for a sampler. Imho. I was afraid, when they announced it, that this would be missing. I hope the new combinator is more thought through.

Got so many goosebumps when those hang drum chords came in under the vocal chops! Reason+ here I come.

This new RE is the answer to my prayers. Thank you Reason Studios! And thank you Ryan, your videos are a harmonious balance of personality and information.

This is what I've been waiting for! - Recycle grows up and becomes Mimic! NICE WORK! This is awesome! Thank you for great videos on how to use this amazing software.

Now I might start using samples too :). This looks great, guys!

Makes me miss my Emax II from 1990… I am a bit surprised people seemed to missed the possibilities of samplers as they been around for quite a while but that said this seems to be a great addition to Reason that I look forward to pick up. Thank you for the great video.

I've been using reasons since the beginning. A true beat maker knows that unlocking any new form of making beats is golden. I remember when I 1st integrated the mpc slimline and its software (rewired) with reason. Definitely a highlight.

This is like the 5th time I’ve been back to view this video. Great info and a great Mimic reference video. From someone that grew up off sampling.

Ryan! This is beautiful. Cant wait to dig in! My jaw dropped when you showed stretch in advanced mode, that is freakin sweet! Love the multi-slot stuff too. As always, your video is an inspiration!

Pretty flawless video. Engaging from start to finish. That’s a rarity.

Really impressed with the edited vocals at the end.

Reason is the perfect tool to nerd out with! I love making my own samples & then manipulating them so I can throw them in Dr. Octo Rex. Mimic looks like an incredible way to enhance this process!

Brilliant ! This is the kind of innovative creative tools that made me use Propellerhead for a decade, and exactly what I have been expecting when subscribing to reason+ 🙏🏽

Man, every time you open your mouth I get inspired to do something new, thanks for your tutorials!

Woooow! Im blown away. So glad I stayed team Reason

Wow a sampler with sampler features… They took a while to figure this out. 12 versions of Reason.

Absolutely love this 😀 just started using mimic today and this is incredibly helpful 👌 thanks!

Loved this tutorial! This is what I have been trying to do in the NNXT for so long. Mimic makes it easier!!! Cant wait!!!

Sample reluctant here 🙋‍♂️. I cannot believe that ONE sample could turn into a whole instrument like that! Wow these software algorithms are getting very powerful 😮

Ohhh... I am going to have fun with this....

Great job! Drum sampler and slicer we ever wanted.

Not much of a sample user myself. Mimic looks like the sampler for me. Fantastic.

This is awesome !!!! This will come in so handy for hip hop/rnb

Bro Spoke well with graphics and I was able to catch on first time around, Thank You

Entertaining and informative as always, Ryan! I've just finished downloading R12 and will experimenting a LOT with Mimic! Thanks or the tips!!

Awesome!!!!! I was wanting this device in Reason 12 a few days ago, and now here it is! I love surprises

Love the Madeon/Porter Robinson hook! Can't wait to try out this technique.

This looks dope, can't wait to get my hands on it in R12. Really nice tunes Ryan!

I cannot stress enough what a great video this was. One of the best showcase vids I have ever seen on youtube. Very happy Reason+ subscriber.

I feel like I'm back in the late 90s again! Samplers are so fun!

Hey wow, the way from silence to what you show is a reason to walk it....:-)

so great channel. love in it

Hey Ryan, I've been away from your videos and Reason for a few years. This was a great video and showcase for new tools and ideas in active use! I really enjoyed and was inspired by it! Thanks dude!

No pitch detection? What an odd feature to leave out of a sampler

Very helpful tutorial ❤. Sounds nice

Great video. Inspired me to have a go at it too, using my disks full of ancient loops and one shot samples from back when I was using E-mu Ultras

"I love you man"! Thank's Bro!

Man that soundtrack in the background at 0:25 is 🔥

Great job guys! Looking forward for Reason 12 :)

You are a genius friend... really thank you.

Thanks Ryan for this great video. I'm always amazed of how good Reason instruments sound.

Very straight forward video! Thank you 🙏

Thank you for giving us these jewels! You are valued! 💪🏾👍🏾💯

Damn I didn’t even realise there was a new sampler since I updated. I know what I’ll be doing this weekend

the production value here is insane

The last part was sick! 👌🏾🔥🔥🔥

I love this. I love Reason12

Not even a reason user but u make tutorials fun to watch

Hey ryan. Has anyone actually mentioned before that you are amazing ? Oh. it has happened yet? Never mind. I haven't done it yet. So I do: YOU ARE FANTASTIC. Your videos too. oh. that rhymes ryan :-)

That last song is a wee banger 🔥

its nice to finally have something like this because reason 11 has incredible stretching abilities, even MPCs cant stretch samples like 11 can, you can speed up or slow down samples in reason witthout losing quality to extreme levels, so having an actual sample tool is long due

Long overdue but nice to see it implemented to Reason. Let’s see if I can dive into Reason more with the new v12

Ron Jeremy! Did not make you are so multi talented! Great vid!

These videos are excellent. Easy to listen to and comprehend. Thanks!

excellent tool, infinite everything that can be done from an audio sample. Reason is the power of creativity. Thanks

Great video ! Good ideas and talent using good tools ! Rien ne se perd rien ne se crée tout se transforme… Good job

I seriously Hope Reason Studios develop some hardware to control the Reason Universe. It’s the missing piece to complete the picture. It would be a game changer. I could possibly forgive the omission of VST3 compatibility if this were to happen, and gladly stay within the Reason daw. But until then, it’s still Ableton and push for me. This sampler “Mimic” is very impressive though. Very similar to Abletons “Simpler”. Mimicking it 😁 Reason still in the game.

Great video. Please make more

Thanks again for this video - always a good reference to come back to

Keep it exciting, Reason ! Keep it exciting.

This reason man is really fantastic 😮 such wonderful tracks in 2 minutes

Very well put together mister.

Awesome vid, even more awesome sampler

dude you blow my mind with that last mix. fantastic job !

Mimic is a no brainer, it is powerful but ultra simple to use, I love it ;-)

That last part of the tutorial was 🔥 🔥 🔥
