Big love Reason crew for having me! Hope you dig the Boy Racer tunes 🏁

This has to be the best Reason related video I've seen in many years. I want more of these "Reason as a DAW" videos. This is the kind of stuff that inspires us Reason users to make more music. Well done Sharpson and Reason Studios on this one.

Blocks are really useful and not promoted enough by RS. Vids I see using Blocks are typically like this vid. Just used to colour code an arrangement when there is so much more using blocks can bring. I use blocks with the addition of extra note lanes per instrument so I can toggle on/off note lanes when I want to. This way, you don’t need extra blocks for variation. I also use blocks to hold different chord progressions to try different arrangements and progressions.

What is really inspiring is that you are working full-time but still producing.

This is amazing and one I will watch again and again as a reminder to keep it simple. Now, to go build my combinators 💪

Time constraints are so beneficial for my production.

Wow the Irish know how to communicate 👍 : )

Big up Sharpson, legend. Never knew he used Reason too, what a guy! Great tips, gonna start making and saving combinator patches now.

Even though this is not the type of music I make I found some good workflow tips here. Developing a workflow that enables creating of a complete song quickly is something I' ve struggled with. Blocks and Tower + Pyramid are techinics I'm going to employ on my next song idea.

The way your able to pump out so many beats is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Talk about staying in the zone. I think you have literally changed my work flow. Me and combinator are now best friends.

It is very nice to (finally) hear someone who speaks and presents well. I am not really into what he suggests, BUT there is a logic to it and seeing his pre-made sounds are suited to his intended results (and not RND hopefulness) it is working well for the formulaics that define EDMyness. Giving himself an Arrangement and therefore Targets has a fair sense. Musicians use targets (or "set pieces" like furniture in a room) to help make their pieces work all the time. IF personal parts are added around these set pieces, the bones can become something ok - assuming of course he is not correct about Spotifry (non)listeners not wanting to hear creativity (or is that humanity). "Keep it quick, Keep it going" is very good advice as many DOA from overworking rather than focusing on the target and moving forward. :-)

This is great. I'd love to see more behind-the-scenes building tracks with different styles of music. Maybe mixing guitar and Reason instruments.

brilliant video buddy..respect...

I don't even make trance but now I want to. You make it look too easy.

Wow this video was released on my birthday! After watching your video Sharpson I AM A FAN! Bro I love your workflow. I have not produced anything with Reason in a few years but I will be dusting it off after watching this. Looks like fun quick process!!!

Most useful workflow I've seen mate sweet X

Thank you for saving our ears at the 32s :D

I've designed a gargantuan amount of combinators and can't recall reusing any of them haha. Great workflow and ideas.

Unlocked comments? What's happened? Are we close to R13 announcement & you're confident it's going to go well? :)

It's really cool!!! Cheers!!! 🤟🤟🔥🔥🔥

thnx for video/ please upload more content like this

Excellent info. My workflow definitely needs improving.

The idea of all this Ctrl+D without any song planning makes me recoil but I guess if the overall message is to take advantage of Combinators to save time or to get something on the canvas then cool. Another trick which saves even more time if you're going in this direction then you want to build out the elements of the song within each pattern of the Block View in bite-sized pieces especially with drums. That way later on during Song View instead of Ctrl+D or drag 'n drop the individual clips you can draw those small blocks or patterns up top with the pencil and it automatically repeats as many times as long or as short as you need it whether it's one instrument or 20 instruments. Then if you want to add variety for particular parts of the song in Song View then what you record on top in Song View will override what's underneath just for that 1 part of the song. The patterns underneath in Block View still remain untouched if you change your mind on that variation or decide to delete what's on top later. 😃

Fantastic video love it

Fantastic info

How about a different artist who isn't doing tunes for the club? A singer songwriter, perhaps?

Looks like he did 3 EP in one day!

Hello! I have a music education background. I am interested in music production. Should I go back to school for this? Are there any books I could buy for self study on music production or Reasons as a DAW?

Helllo? How does one get boy racer for reason?

How did you get boy racer? I have never seen that in Reason

I use Reason 12 quickly but not like this! Templates and presets are applicable to all DAWs of course. Patches are a must. I tend to make templates based on style, historical and social context

Hey! I'm used to watching you eat snacks! Not talk about Reason workflows! Get back to work! Edit: OH GOD THERE'S TWO OF YOU

ya'll can have your discussions about artsy fartsies while I'll be dancin to these tunes in a parking lot somewhere..

Yes, it's Magenta. He doesn't need to know. Not knowing hurts nobody. It's. Magenta.

But why blocks for this? Is this not just a simple build up like in a linear sequencer?

Just tell ChatGPT to give you the Reason keyboard commands for a 16 bar trance loop.

Wait a minute....Isn't this the guy always getting smashed on the Try Channel??? lol

The days where artists and producers took time to craft the perfect music and sound is over and it is aa case of quantity over quality. The music sounds good but not necessarily memorable because those true classic masterpieces of records often took years to craft and can never been replicated in the space of a few hours.

I prefer real musicians and artists never in a hurry to constantly release crappy and soon forgotten tracks like.

EP in a day sounds like an EP in a day. High-quality music takes months.

I have an even better workflow tip! You just make one track and then you copy it twelve times. Using this technique you can make a whole album in a day!

Tip #1 is don't use Reason

Literally butchering it to porridge, selling pure shit with 110% confidence based on nothing at all. And kids actually believe one'd win with that utter crap. hope he's been paid well for the free marketing. Maximum profile neurosis on the rise. RS laughing off their bloody arse - other companies have to heavily invest into marketing.

That is some serious clickbait bullshit
