Bro…it’s all about running Bassline Generator or Quad Note into Pattern Mutator! Thats when the madness begins. Algoritm is a savage beast once you spend some time with it. Love seeing your willingness to jump back into the Reason environment. Awesome video!

Quad Note Gen is vastly overlooked.

This gave me so much inspiration. Plus since I was at work it sounded menacing in car then hearing it back on the phone got lost in translation. So this definitely showed me what to expect if I don’t check my mixes in a variety of situations. Major lesson learned! Thanks Osc!

Time to thank you for your inspiring videos, Oscar. 14:05 moving notes down 1 oct: A faster way could be to select the notes, and type "-12" in the note textbox.

@Oscar - you could have used the Kick kong pad gate out trigger to trigger the rumble kick pad instead of needing to have duplicate sequencer tracks. Plus using one Kong and the individual outputs to separate them would have saved on devices too.

I downloaded a free Combinator patch about 15 years ago and it's been used in every Techno, Hardhpuse, Trance and what ever else has a repeating kick drum beat.

Do you, by any chance, remember the name of this combinator patch ? Very interested in decent kicks inside Reason (besides the Redrum Techno kit 3 kick 😉)

My hint for organisation? Use three monitors.left rack, middle sequencer, right mixer

@lauraemme2530 3 ай бұрын

very good, thanks, but if i can say my opinion, the synth is out of bpm and doesnt sounds good like that, it could even confuse playing a track like this... Ive resalised it when at the end you play the whole track

Having seen many of Oscar's and RS in-house videos, this one seems like content created for the sake of creating content. Like watching someone tread water for 23 minutes. Much respect to Oscar and the Underdog videos as they're usually pretty informative and useful, this one just seems like it was mailed in.

Hey Oscar I noticed that you haven’t updated the bassline generator it now has an optional bank B voor both on en off beats. Some and most of the reason studios rack extensions require you to buy the upgrade in the store (for free) and then sync your rack extensions it’s a bit of a hassle sadly. Always love to see your tutorials!

@ded_ryder Жыл бұрын

For the kick drum, you could use Redrum, reset device, choose your first kick sample, press "tab" to flip the rack, then run a gate out cable from the first kick into the second gate in, with the copy of your kick to trigger both at the same time. Saves time EQ'ing

@stopit4261 Жыл бұрын

Why do you throw effects under the instrument? Wouldn't it be better to throw them into the tool at the top? You can hide them there and press bypass if you want to listen to the intsrument without them.

Nice! One question though - why you're using right-click menus to add devices, rather than the browser? It's very good nowadays, with a proper search just like in Ableton.

Organization? LMAO! I have used Reason since Record was released and I have not even created a template. As close as I get to organization is to create every instrument in a combinator. (:
