Guest tronicphace Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I was going to post a couple of songs I've been working on in Reason, but after listening to other people's, my stuff sounds pretty crappy. Looks like I need to practice more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tronicphace Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 well, I figured I shouldn't post in that forum unless I actually attached music, like everybody else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest all_purpose_sandpaper Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 you failed to even put your failure post in the right subforum rofl try pitchshifting one of them to match the other and them mixpasting them together, that's what i would do, and that's why i also belong in your thread.

BCM Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 i think you should post them in this thread and get the worst over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Betty Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I doubt your tracks are bad. They're probably half way between good and bad, which is worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's all bad they will leave you be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 or you can just not show your tracks to anyone and claim to be sitting on a goldmine of awesome electric idm musics. "NO IS MINE!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Betty Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Next time I see a homeless beggar who's really down on their luck, I'm going to drop a few choice mp3's in their hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rambo Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Betty is right. At least if your tracks were awful we could enjoy them. Unfortunately it sounds like your tunes are just fairly shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Enter a new display name Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 My case is quite similar to the OP's. I began making tracks on Reason a few weeks ago and most of my attempts are totally weak. My songs are sequenced like a parody movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chax Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 It's easy to get discouraged and give up, but stick with it, nobody started out sounding good. Keep trying to capture that specific sound/feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 isn't it a bit late to jump on the fucking about with reason bandwagon? yes it really is, Fruity Loops doesnt get enough credit for being something like 20x more verstatile and powerful than Reason but it's treated like a toy where as Reason is 'fuckin sick cause of all the wires bro' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehauntingsoul Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I use reason, I'm getting fairly adept I think. We should make a thread In EKT for Reason noobs because I don't know alot but I'm willing to share what I do know. As far as reason goes I'm fairly knowledgable about: - Most devices excluding the RPG, Vocoder, matrix and DE-Rex. - routing cv cables - mastering - general other tidbits. The best thing to do is use a Combinator, assign any variable to a rotar and then route the rotar to a modulator. Once you learn how to do this there is an endless variety of setups to be made. feel free to PM me if you have any questions. I might not be able to answer but I'll try because its fucking hard to find people who use reason to talk to about this sort of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneaksta303 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 As far as reason goes I'm fairly knowledgable about: - Most devices excluding the RPG, Vocoder, matrix and DE-Rex. - routing cv cables - mastering - general other tidbits. I am a hugefan of reason, as it is really the only program I use to compose, but I have to say, you can't really do any kind of final MASTER without an external audio editor. What I do usually is get the song sounding as good as I possibly can within the program, then export each individual track as a .wav, which I then open as a multi-track session in COOL EDIT. Then I do my signature DSP edits, eq where nessissary (which isn't much - I tend to to usually do most of the eqing within Reason), then mix it all down. Then I'll do the final master as best I can.
