great fucking host dude seems so passionate about toro's music. also listening to chaz talking about ANYTHING it's always interesting. mahal is on constantly repeat this year for me ❤️

The amount of muted tracks was impressive! And hearing why they were muted was interesting... so much re-recording! Everyone works differently, but it's a good argument for keeping the songwriting and mixing/polishing as separate tasks. It's so tempting to get picky about that bass sound before you even finish the song... then at the end of the day, you have a nice sounding bass line on a song you're tired of listening to that doesn't have any other parts. Amazing interview - I've loved his music for a while, but had never heard him talk... glad he seems like a nice dude - makes me like the music even more!

This man is inspiring me to get back into producing!!! Thank you CHAZZ!!!

Knowing that Toro uses Reason completely re-ups my loyalty to him and the DAW.

Dude toro is so real for this, he gained so much respect after doing this for me

Chaz makes the music I dream of making, so seeing this is really quite incredible.

I said it before and I'll say it again. If Toro came out in the 60s. He would be diamond selling! regardless. I don't care about sales, he's my favourite musician of all time!

what a gold mine. toro y moi is such an inspiration to me and the music i create. this is so valuable hearing his take on his creative process.

I’m half way through this, cannot express how grateful i am for this interview, incredibly insightful, passionate interviewer who is also a good listener and knows the right questions to ask. I was already a fan of Chaz but this gave me new appreciation for what he does and his process. Thank you both ❤ I have dabbled with Reason but will definitely be revisiting it again after this, I really liked those iPad apps (figure) that you guys made many years ago, when i was learning computer music stuff as a young teen that and GarageBand on iPad were by far some of the most intuitive and easy to use tools to quickly put something together.

Mahal is my favourite album ever made. This is utterly fascinating to me

i’m so happy this exists, crazy chaz shared this. never thought i would get insight on his process. love it!!!

This dudes a great interviewer

Definitely: I am “Team Ryan”. Your videos are always amazing( live, tutorials, tips, whatever). A huge thank you and, if this is the premier for the Reason season 2022-2023, you really started with 🔥🤩

Thank you for this. I have really enjoyed it. I know NO ONE else that uses reason besides myself. I love getting different perspectives and angles for fellow producers. Thanks again!

Ryan, thanks to you and the team for introducing the public to this gem of an artist and producer. I’m definitely digging Chaz’s artistry and looking to check out more of his works. I especially like the upfront lead vocal on the first song, it makes the track for me. And the female vocal on the second track is bannanaz sweeeeet. Nice drop.

I LOVE this one guys! So much good info in here and the entire conversation was inspiring for us Reason users. Especially for those of us using it as our primary DAW. You guys rock

Dont laugh but I didnt know who this was. He is thoughtful, very open with the process, humble, articulate and such a lovely presentation. Seriously will but his music and as always, Ryan is knowledgeable, insightful, great interviewer, a fan, truly interested in the back n forth convo. Thank you for such a wonderful peek on how he goes through his thoughts, reasons and steps of creation. Amazing….

Embarrassingly, I'd never heard of Toro Y Moi. Guess I'm in my own bubble of what I "normally" listen to. Buuuuuut, I'm a new fan now. Firstly on the basis that Chaz sounds like such a nice, genuine and sound guy. Then I start hearing some of his productions, and I'm feeling like I could have his music in my collection. Bandcamp page found. New fan right here. Wonderful interview!

This was amazing! Thank you! It was so great to see Chaz's creative process in this way!

Insane that you brought this producer to the stream

Very down to earth. Like the simplicity in his arrangements. Very to the point

Chaz is a legend. Thanks for this. Also Lindsay’s vocals on Magazine are insane. Just her demo track is so nuts, what a vibe.

I've been listening to Mahal for the two weeks and wondered what had happened to the TYM stream from spring. Very happy to see this!

This is fucking huge bro. Atleast for me.

I honestly started using reason because of this guy

Causers Of This...still monumental!

Chaz is my favorite artist of all time, his music with Toro y Moi is sooo fire. Love to see it!

Reason now has alot of stuff but from 1 to 4 it felt like actually using physical gear, and sounds like it, there was limitations similar to real gear. I listen back to My early Reason music and it sounds like the currently popular Dawlass set up. When I first see some one using Reason 2, I instantly needed it.

duuuuuude that midi thing from having to start in the beginning was such a throwback! I had to do that for a remix competition back in the day. It was a 5 minute drum loop on midi. Such a pain.. I got first place though!!

Great interview. One of the best bands Toro y Moi. Also Crumb, Remi Wolf, Skinshape, Tommy Guerrero, Gardens & Villa, Generationals, Body Language, Soft White Sixties. Dig it.

Ryan!!! Thanks for this, been waiting to hear from him for YEARS!!!! Score!!!! flatout!!!

Been waiting for this 😩😩😩😩😩😩

@10 minutes, a good way to divorce yourself from the bar markers in reason is to set your project at a ridiculously high BPM, but record at a normal tempo, and then arrange everything from there with snap turned off. You can still line things up, but the bar markers will be so tiny that it will help you to ignore them on the sequencer while you're moving stuff around.

Hell yeah!!! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for.

Met him in person at a concert when he came to Perris , and ask him what program he used, when he told me reason. I was like woeeee meeee ttoooooo....

Awesome interview! Toro is an inspiring artist. Thanks for getting my question in on the funky bass - need to get the wah pedal out : )

Great interview w Chaz/Toro - he's a hugely talented, down-to-earth dude and you can tell he loves every aspect of creating music. Glad he has stuck w Reason. I noticed he mentioned Todd Rundgren as a major influence. Todd has been a hardcore Reason user for at least the last 15 years - both for recording and live shows. How about an interview w him !!

Chaz you're a freaking legend dude!

wow the legend himself!!

shoutout to all my reason brothers in christ

Been waiting for something like this!

I went to a toro y moi show when Anything in return dropped and its top 5 concerts I ever experienced

been on reason since 2013 cus of chaz :3 love reason. i was a huge fan of the balance midi!

I really love the minimal tracks. Was just thinking that for every beat I've made. Just need to improve the quality.

This is a great interview! Love that it's both picture ideas about songwriting and detail specific techniques :)

So cool to see someone discussing Reason in way similar to how understand it. That's not to say i don't enjoy Reason being discussed in a way that seems foreign to me. I think i need to get more involved in the Reason community. Thank you for the great shares.

Really enjoyed this interview especially the part about recording to a click and nudging slices 😂😂 great music!!!!

The things you can do with Reason! Love it 💯👏

Awesome. Didnt know he is using reason!

Don’t sleep on the reason factory sound bank 🔥🔥🔥

15:45 So happy I'm not the only insane person. I used to play along with Reason as a backing track, then import my recorded audio into NN19. I ran into the same issue of not being able to hear the track unless I started the song over. This lead to my earliest experiments in bending Reason to my will, which gave me confidence to try other ideas. My solution was to split the audio into measures, map each up the keyboard and trigger them in sequence, which was super time-consuming but very rewarding to figure out. I think I remember that NN-XT does this automatically and I was so happy when it was added to the rack.

Yes!!!

favorite album of 2022 for me

Omg I love his music!

Excellent as always

I'm curious why "Why I don't use splice" was in the thumbnail as if it was a quote from Chaz, but splice is not mentioned once in the interview lol. It would have been interesting to hear Chaz's take on sample libraries in general. I'm sure he avails himself of the latest tools!

I actually do hear the Tennessee by Arrested Development reference! They both have reversed elements as melodies and similar tempos

Funny how sun started to shine and dog just teleported there

haha such a good sleepy dog in the background

Great Interview lots of gems, can we get a sounwave interview pretty sure I saw Reason on his screen one time

dude i was under the impression that he recorded anything in return on his BOSS, i was like wtf how is that even possible hahah.

Really cool to see these tracks broken down

Toro y moi is so cute and has a beautiful voice ugh 😫

"take me to another place, take me to another land" Tennessee by Arressted development. definitely got the southern feel

Im jealous of this guy whole life.

I feel anyone who uses Cubase Reason or Reaper understand the dismissing by the mainstream normies. I went from FL -> Ableton -> Cubase. I learned so much from trying different DAWs!

this is a great interview. thank you !!

One of my favorite interviews oat

ha, I heard arrested development too when you mentioned it

So much useful info. SaLuv SaStrong SaRespect Always

what a great intervierwer.

This is golden

Legend!

that part about the 'Reason user diss' is soooo relatable. as long as we know why we use & love it it's all good right?

What a great interview! Thanks for sharing!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Woah, after the Beck mention I instantly recognized 29:20 Odelay Beck vibes in the guitar

this is great. thank you!!

OMG he did an interview

Yooooo! 'Tiny House Nation' dude. His build was exactly what I'd do, only an immobile cube design🖤🖖🏿

reason fammmm :D

Inspiring interview! Thanks 🙏

another great reason producer is kodak to graph. He has since switched to ableton but his first 3 albums were made on reason. incredible stuff

Love this wowww were those real instruments? Lol

Fantastic interview!

Chaz is da goat

RE: The "Days in Love" track. Does anyone know the synth sample at the end? It also plays at the beginning of "The Medium".

44:40 "...the story of every musicians life." Ha! Totally 😸

Amazing

Loved this!

oo so happy to watch this and I don't even use reason

Love how genuinely connected they are in a Reason conversation. I'm going to try n nail one of these interviews

AMAZING !

Amazing that you got Toro for an interview, one of my biggest influence. Host should get out of the way more, I care about how Chaz uses what he uses, don't care about what the host uses he's a nobody. You should have let Chaz talk more.

open the causers of this project!!!!

this is so inspiring

Crazy 🔥

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 -OY3AH!

Great Interview!

For what he’s doing it makes sense to mix in mono but if I want a huge stereo sound I do not care about anything or anyone trying to listen to my music in mono..

great video
