Whoops well all the things he is doing can be achieved by ear on older reason vertions that don't have live visual display.

exactly!

Shady Lou these tips are transferrable cross plugins and cross daws, the reason i used the plugins i used is because its what i am fastest with, and with other plugins it may have taken me considerably longer to show the result i was wanting to You can do very similar stuff in europa Ty for your feedback though, next vid will include more reason native plugs

You mean Neurofunk?

Yeah it's a bit of a reality check

Ennit🤕

Na all you got to do is the basic stuff and play around with it. I could get the exact same DnB sound 10 years ago when there was no visual display. All you need to instantly get punchy DnB Beat sounds in put a Scream 4 on a Redrum and use hi and low pass filter on it and a reverb. That's it nothing more needed.

Thanks a lot!

You're welcome! Also, feel free to check out my music if you like. On Soundcloud I recently uploaded some Hard Dance tracks. I mainly produce conscious hip-hop, but I like to branch out into other genres of music for fun.

Yo... Sinnerfire... Ur still about bro... I've bought some of your Kong preset packs a few years back.... Siiick. Hope your well... Big 👆🏾

Hey thanks for saying hi, yes im still about, got some new Reason packs on the go + a new website design drumandbassasylum.com/

Thanks! Im hoping to maybe learn how to put together more concise, flashier tutorials in future as i know editing these things isnt my strong suit but there is so much info to pack in such a short time, its hard haha

I think you did great! We are always our own worst critic. Just like with anything else, there is always room for improvement. Keep in mind, like you have already learned with the music, the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. The more you "DO" the better you will get. Just have to relate what you have learned in music to editing because essentially it is the same thing. Everything is related, just find/create the relation and let your creativity flow. Keep up the outstanding work!

Yep, very true!

Yeah ive thought about that, its just kind of hard to explain in a 10/20 min vid really, when most of it is really just about experience

Formant Filter

a sharp increase in volume at the start of a sound, usually only a few milliseconds long. it is what gives drums their punch

Sarenix Bentz usually its pretty tough to get both transients to overlap properly, and you will always end up with phase issues on the transient, either making it weaker or a bit stronger Usually the snare will sound like its flamming and the transient wont be clean enough, which isnt too desirable

Oh ok gottcha I was thinking exactly about that may cause flamming but wondered if u get surgical about it u may solve it but i guess is not worth it. Btw nice sub bass trick !

You play 2 semitones apart so the note will result inbetween. Its just as if you took 2 oscillators and detuned one -100 cents and one +100. The benefit of using the method i showed instead of that is that you get to use both a sine wave, and a triangle wave, instead of just one or the other. Also you get the benefit of some phasing added by 2 noise oscillators playing together, which helps create a washy top end

thanks man, yep i thought a bit more about this and did some experiments last night and it clicked as to why it makes sense. Keep up with these tutorials, they're super informative. big up!

YerNan you dont get the extra phasing created by 2 noise oscs playing :) you can do it by detuning 2 oscs but then you also dont get to layer a sine AND a triangle, only 2 sines or 2 triangles.

For these examples i didn't

three instances of reason.

Glad to be of help :)

hahaha

ahah, thanks :)

you can literally use any hihat samples or even synthesise your own in kong haha, dont be so rigid with following tutorials, its about learning the knowledge not following a recipe to the T :)

@@TheOfficialProtostar Right but when following a tuturial I will always aim to make mine identical to yours to prove I've grasped exactly what you're teaching and then mess with everything and make it my own remix or whatever

Artur Godlewski I dont work in blocks mode because i prefer to work in regular sequencing mode. Everyone produces in ways that they are comfortable with, this is mine And if youve played with this specific automation then you will know that this isnt true, as sometimes the transient will slip through if you leave it exactly on beat, feel free to try for yourself :)

Also if you cant or are too lazy to try for yourself, here is what the drums sound like with the automation on beat. As you can hear, the transients are still pushing through :) At the end of the recording, thats what it sounds like with CORRECT automation, like ive shown in the video. www.dropbox.com/s/sgrtu0ekx0hjwbk/dnb%20tutorial%20with%20automation%20on%20beat.wav?dl=0

Thanks, I was indeed "too lazy" to check it right away because I had to pick one of my kids from school and now I'm on the playground with the youngest :P

suryadnb its just a patch i made for the sidechain reaction rack extension in the reason store, if you want the patch you can get that RE and its in the signature patches folder :) And i didnt say i would cover every single minute detail, you can clearly hear me say we are going to be covering SOME drum production and SOME bass production, not sure where you got that from. theres only so much time i have for a video. It would have ended up being closer to an hour long.

Found it, thanks

watch it on 0.25 speed

As much as i love europa, it is missing a few key features that allows me to make a similar calibre noise bass in it. Namely i cannot edit the wavetable manually, which is huge for a bass of this type. Its just down to how i specifically made this bass, it need s a lot of control at the basic level, which europa falls slightly short on, but its still a great sounding synth

Awesome reply! again, i enjoyed the content you shared in this video and i subscribed to your channel as a result! Anyway, I just bought reason 10 about a month ago... but i have been a Reason DAW user since Reason version 3.0 so i've come a long way. And I also noticed that Europa has limitations when it comes to "EDITING PARAMETERS" which as well discouraged me when creating a specific sounds. At the same time I tried to to use the loss of editing as just the flow of the instrument itself. So ya, again, great content, Where are you currently in terms of music inspiration? I'm a DnB bass junkie and after discovering your reason tutorial i'm just curios what inspires you as a fellow musician 2018 Sept 22

Premade patterns? Do you understand the entire foundation of drum and bass lmfaoooooo

I'd like to disagree really, its a complex tutorial and fitting so much info in such a short amount of time needs the showing of examples to make it easier for beginners to see if they are getting close at each step.
