Reason 4 is an amazing "studio in a box" ... watch a pro show you how it works!
Propellerhead Reason was the first "Studio In A Box" to be come out, and it still makes waves to this day for being one of the must intuitive, easy to use, and FUN audio programs on the market. There's something about being able to create a custom rack and wire it up like your patching together an old analog synth that makes Reason a really rewarding program to use. This software is all about instant gratification, but you still need to know a few tricks to help you get the most out of it.
In this 5 hour tutorial program, macProVideo.com's star trainer Paul Garay demonstrates some incredible Reason 4 tips, tricks, and workflow techniques that will get you making music quickly. You'll learn how to create and patch together custom racks and then use Reason's sequencer to edit and automate MIDI data so your custom racks sing like a concert diva.
Paul also provides a solid overview of Reason 4's main synthesizers, including the NN-XT Advanced Sampler and the amazing new Thor Polysonic Synthesizer. Once you've created your sounds, see how reason's built in DSP effects can be used to enhance your sound. You'll also learn how to use Reason's M-Class Mastering Suite to put the finishing gloss on your songs.
