WOW! I must say that I'm mightily impressed with the amount tutorials now available for Reason 6, and with my favourite trainer too.
Yay Mo Valens, and Yay macprovideo.
Thank you
I just wanted to echo deankay's sentiments. I signed up for Reason 4 tutorials a little over a year ago, and then moved onto 5 when those came out.
The tutorials for Reason 6 are just head and shoulders above the previous offerings. Tons and tons of quality here. I especially enjoy the detailed instrument/effect specific modules where they really dig deep and show what can be done. So thanks, MPV. A job really well done on these. Please keep 'em coming!
On a side note, I notice there is a bit of lag on how soon the videos available by standard web page are available in the N.E.D. player for mobile devices. Any info on how soon newly introduced videos might take on average to show up in the N.E.D. for iPad app?
I have purchase Reason 5 102 and 103. What are the differences between them and their corresponding Reason 6 tutorials ? Is there an upgrade path for customers that are interested ?
I don't think there have been any specific changes to the version 5 102 and 103 to their version 6 equivalents. The re-branding is help make all users aware that these are the same for Reason 6.
You're good to go with the version you currently own :)
I have purchased the mixing and mastering songs for reason/record however I would perfer to have it done professional. Any recommendations on who mixes and masters songs in reason/record?
There are a lot of professional mixing and mastering engineers out there. You'll need to decide a few things...
- Your Budget
- Their reputation / credits / genre
- the equipment and acoustic quality of their studio space
It's not important whether they use Reason to mix or master in. In fact, it's more likely a pro in this field will be using Logic, Pro Tools or similar with 3rd party plugins/hardware.
What you'll need to provide for mixing:
- individual uncompressed audio files (Aiff or Wave) for each track at 24 bit and the standard sample rate, e.g. 44.1. - all with the same start points.
- Find out from them whether they want an overview of the entire song and/or whether they want the individual tracks with or without compression and effects.
For a mastering engineer you'll need to provide a single stereo audio file of the mix in sample quality as listed above. Make sure the volume level of the mix isn't too high. i.e. leave about -12dB of "headroom" (or ask them what they need).
Hope that helps,
Rounik
P.S. There is someone I know who is a good mixing/mastering guy that comes to mind. He can work with you remotely... He is actually an author here on the MPV Hub, Darren Burgos. If you're interested I can pass on his contact details...
This is Darren Burgos (the guy Rounik mentioned above). I mix and master electronic music exclusively. Check out my site below, then contact me and we'll go from there. Talk soon...
