Recording Revolution

Graham Cochrane’s Channel is dedicated to help you make better recordings and mixes in your home studio. This channel includes hundreds of free tutorials: mixing and mastering & motivational speeches. If you are a music producer, then you must subscribe!

Bigg Vic Tv

This is how I can describe Bigg Vic TV: it is 99.99% Reason, 100% Hip-hop, and 100% Inspirational! keep going dude, always a pleasure to see a new video popping in my feed.

SyncMyMusic

I discovered Jesse’s channel recently, and I suggest following him immediately, if you have an intent in monetizing your music. Jesse is providing courses and free resources on his website, too:

TechMuz Academy / Dezz Asante

I really enjoy this channel. You can find very useful information about mixing and mastering and interesting podcast & interviews. With TechMuze Academy, Dezz is providing courses & services

Zeb's Corner

I found Zeb’s channel a couple of years ago while I was looking for information about compression in Reason, and what a great discovery! Zeb will definitely inspire you. He deserves more views. So, go checkout his channel and subscribe!

Learn Reason

Learn Reason is 100% about the DAW Reason, and all of the community around it.

Stock Music Musician

Evan has a true passion for sharing information in general and helping the music community. StockMusicMusician channel is a must-follow: you will find great Reason tutorials, information about music licensing and other motivational videos.

PEFF

Peff is a YouTube pioneer who started video tutorials with Reason 4. Peff’s channel has always been a great resource to increase my Reason skills.

“But where is number 10? You don’t know how to count?” - I know what you’re thinking, but I did not keep number 10 for self-promotion (even though you SHOULD subscribe to my channel ??). I kept it for the official propellerhads channel.

If you are a Reason user, I’m pretty sure that you already follow this one. But if you don’t, I suggest that you follow it, especially to watch

• The “Reason QuickTips” playlist
• The “52 Reason / Record Tips” by James Bernard
• The Super Neat Beat Cheat Sheet tutorials produce by Ryan Harlin

If you have any suggestions on other channels, shoot me a comment on social media or send me an email (contact section). It will be my pleasure to add more fresh and interesting content on my own feed.

• Record your ideas while traveling without your main midi keyboard ?
• need a second controller for your DAW automation ?
• Or just stay on budget

As far the best investment I did for a mobile application to improve my production with Propellerheads Reason

Every music producer should have this app ! Try TouchDAW free version NOW.

The Abbey Road Reverb Trick

The trick is simple:

We just need to add an EQ in front of the reverb device. Now, the whole secret to the Abbey Road Reverb Trick is the fact that they use these two filters. An high pass filter, around 600 Hz and a Low Pass filter around 10k Hz.

An EQ with an high and a low pass filter, and it really makes a difference in the way the reverb sound and the way they meld into the track.

Simple trick but very powerful in your mix! Play with the frequency to find the perfect result for your mix. you can use any EQ device.

the patch available in the download section

A default template in my humble opinion is the basis of workflow optimization. After spending / wasting a lot of time in the past, I decided to focus on my own Default template which I want to share with you:

Firstly, you can download my template in the download section then after unzipping the reason file, drop it in the reason template folder then you can create a new project with this template.

I know I know, seems messy but if you are new with Reason don’t be afraid, a lot of stuff is included in this template and we will try to cover it.

KEEP IN MIND

• A template can / should be adjusted
• This is MY template: What is working for me not necessarily work for you
• I am using some rack extensions in my workflow feel free to remove / replace it
• Enjoy more free time and be more productive ??

Instrument mix Channels (green)

Based on an Instrument Frequency CHART

If I want to use a specific Instrument I just need to drag and drop the instrument to the proper mix channel. The EQ reflect the Instrument Frequency Chart and can help for your final mix.

For every channel I used the EQ Rack extension SYNAPSE GQ-7 EQ but If you don’t want to use it I duplicate the EQ in the SSL MIX Channel

Drum Mix Channels

I decided to split channels on my Redrum / Kong / 808 into multi mix channel then route them to a specific bus because I like to have a level of granularity when I am mixing. Again: feel free to update the template or maybe use the template to grab some pieces

For example, you don’t have / use the 808? just remove all the mix channel / instrument

You need a second Kong / Redrum or you want to use a Kong / redrum inside another project: copy or duplicate the tracks.

NB: I hope one-day Propellerhead will fix that one day but for now, if you change a patch or a sample in the Kong, you lose the channel output mapping and you need to reset it manually.

Send FX (pink channels)

I reuse this tip from Evan (stockmusicmusician) This technique provides more control and visibility.

If you activate some effect, you will automatically see the result in your SSL console and have more control.

Master Section

I put here some effects and utilities I use very often.

AND KEEP IN MIND AGAIN
