In this video we explore the legendary sound of the Roland TR-808 and show you how to create your own 808 inspired sounds using Reason 12.
‪@Chrisreedbeats‬ will take you through the step-by-step process of shaping and designing your own 808 bass drums, and show you how to use them in your music production.
We start off with an overview of the Kong Drum Designer and how to use it to make your own 808s. You'll learn how to tune your 808 and save it as a sample for use in your tracks. Next, we demonstrate how to build a track using your newly created 808 sounds, and show you how to use the Mimic device to add even more depth and character. We also reveal some key effects and techniques for beefing up your 808, including glides and slides, to give your productions that signature 808 sound.
So, whether you're a pro producer or just starting out, this video is perfect for anyone looking to create their own unique 808s.

I have the free G-tune vst hooked up to my master to instantly see the pitch of all the samples I'm playing at that time

Dude thank you because your method is way more efficient. If you do it his way and you click to bring focus on the Kong to play the kick with your MIDI keyboard then the audio track's tuner information disappears and only stays there if you keep focus with the audio track and click the kick on the Kong with the mouse button. It's not a big deal and I'm on the latest version of Reason 12.7.3d18 but I don't know if it's a bug or an oversight on their part.

@@thedrunkmonkshow do you use multiple screens? If so, move the Gtune to a different screen than the reason rack and make sure the vst is always on top (option next to screenshot function) and you'll be good

@@eelcostuy4641 Yeah I use two monitors and that's what I did by moving it to my other monitor, clicking the thumb tack so it wouldn't disappear and then it was off to the races. 😃

im not an 808 Addict, but your tricks to get perfect pitch bass drum, with just kong and mimic on Reason Studio is just phenomenal ^^, i usualy using KONG alone by itself and tweeking a lot to get some kind of Simmons sound and i usualy use Mimic to extend some Brass or other orchestral sound to make them more playable stretch all i can get from it, for making wierd granular stuff. for my kick and sub bass drum i usualy using the Rob Papen Rack Extension like Punch or Sub boom , sometimes i put a bit of Linn Drum or E-MU stuff with a mix of TR 909 or 808, it's not rare for me to use more than one drum modeling or sample stuff.

Bottom line is, if it sounds right to you then it is right. Using sound bank or making your own...it is up to your creativity and whatever the song needs.

All-dough you did a nice job, I still don't feel the 808 in there. The 808 is more then a sound, it is a feeling. And getting it close is not good enough! Even Reason had a better 808 feeling, because those were actual 808 samples.
