advice on reason

[4thereal]

yeah i use reason but its just a pain in the ass trying to find good refills for it....ive found lots of good vsts so i rather use fruity loops....reasons sequencer is more like using a daw or traccing on a workstation.....if i had better sounds for reason i wouldnt mind using it more often.....

so you can't put your own sounds into reasons at all?

i'm not a reason user but will probably buy it in the near future to try somethin new.

it took me a few years but my refill collection fills about 12 dvds. ive not even used all of them yet. i have sounds ive never heard. most of mine came from akai, roland, emu, etc.. types of sample cds using the repacker. they were hard to find but if you know where to look you can hit licks. now its not a thing you can get refills out the wahoo if you know where to look. the thing about reason is you can make dope sounds using the factory soundbank by tweaking the knobs and using the combinator. wild shit.

ok on reason can i sample song that are in mp3 format...i just make beat on the reddrum and i have hella samples and shit/.....anybody help with this....

i never tried sampling but i wanna learn how...anybody got any tight youtube linkz showing how it workz...hollla..

i went on youtube but they show u half ass shit...they dont show the full shit...

 

[siccness-user]

you have to import it to another program, chop it, then import it to reason again

i dont think reason is very good for sampling

 

[stackadolla]

like wat other programs....thankz boss

 

[siccness-user]

you need a separate program called recycle, which sucks

on my honest opinion,

id tell you reason sucks,

ill post some stuff tomorrow, but id be just helping you waste your time when instead you can get a better program like ableton

 

[phil]

recycle isnt a sampling tool. its a chopping tool for samples youve already obtained or made using other programs on your computer. for what it does its great. maybe you expected too much out of it reid.

i can fill up just as many dvds and more with all the good vsts that are out there and much easier to find....and every vst has patch editing capabilities reason isnt the only one that can do that....and fruity loops has a layers generator that can be used similar to the combinator in reason to combine any vsts and samples you want and you can add any FX vsts that you want.....

Reason can be the shit if its all hooked up right ive seen it in studios and have heard plenty of slappin traccs made with it....but its a lot a work to get it to that point in comparison to vst compatible applications like fl studio, cubase, ableton,nuendo,etc....shit you can even run reason in any of those using rewire but you cant run anything in reason you have to have refills or make them yourself....

reason is raw for sampling

im a big fan of vsts. who are you trying to convince? i dont limit myself to any one method of making music although i prefer reason due to having used it since day one. grab yourself some vagisil and calm down there. but since you wanna argue apples and oranges thats fine. your vsts and fx are limited by your cpu power. some of the simplest routing capabilities of reason would cripple anyone without the staunchest of systems running vsts and vstis. you are limited by your cpu power using vsts especially with programs like cubase etc... reason doesnt have that problem. i can have 400 synths layered (not that i would) and reason would run flawlessly while im simultaneously doing something else on my computer. try that with 30 vsts and vstis and a few audio tracks and your shit will come to a screeching halt.
theres pros and cons for everything.

yes it is if you know how to use nnxt the limits are endless and pretty much shit on hardware samplers when you take into consideration load times, storage, accessibility etc... its not even close.

easily the funniest thing ive ever read in here,

rooofl

lmaoo

*hits desk

allright allright back to the conversation

 

[siccness-user]

allright, i agree with working with different stuff, i wish i didnt have to,

plus you cant make changes to the chopped samples, unless you have some type of super tutorial or manual i can read up on

i also dislike reason's mixing

 

[phil]

why cant you make changes to the chopped samples? what changes are you talking about? elaborate and i will help you out. reason takes a while to get into all the niches but theres really nothing much it cant do when it comes to samples and editing. you do know you can open up your rex files in nnxt and alter every single chop right??????? please tell me you knew that.

i use my fantom g as an audio interface and it operates as that or as a vsti inside fruity loops so i can integrate it with reason, fruity or any other program out there.

 

[phil]

whats wrong with the mixing lol????

yes i did, i know a lot about it, but im not a master, or atleast as good as you are

i hate how i cant quickly edit, i have to import to recycle, chop, then make a dr. dre, search and load up the file, then if i change my mind, i have to repeat everything again

i also hate the browsing window

 

[MALKI]

i know a few tricks with the nnxt that will fuck your head up. that thing is official when it comes to making sample beats. a lot of producers make amazing sample beats on reason and you would have never thought thats what they used.

 

[phil]

you can chop it in nnxt you dont need rex

 

[siccness-user]

okay, do you have something i can read up on or check out

 

[phil]

the manual lol thats all i ever had

im here trying to help what do you want to know?

matter of fact let me dig i have a pdf somewhere that i never even got through its so deep. all kinds of tricks to help you implement devices in reason in ways they werent intended but come up with some interesting results.
