“Week 4 is here and this time James shows you the basics of the Contol Volt and Gate features in Reason and Record.

Call me strange but sometimes I enjoy relaxed first looks at software. You know, the ones where the person doesn’t really know whats going on yet. Christopher O’Riley A.K.A Wassaname takes his first stab at Propellerhead Record. He doesn’t produce the kind of music I’m really into but for some reason I found this video interesting. I never heard anyone call something “giant sweet” before.
If you want the opposite effect check out the official commercial:

Even though I spend 99% of my time in Ableton live it’s good to jump completely out of that environment for a song or two. If you make music for a living and need an alternate universe to record in nothing beats the Propellerhead world.

Propellerhead is one of my favorite music software companies. I use pretty much everything they have released so far with joy. Their ware sounds great, doesn’t crash, has a nice Swedish aesthetic and is priced right. It’s been glaringly obvious the one piece of kit they lacked in their arsenal was a way to record actual audio. Better late than never is the motto of the day because our favorite virtual rack guys have stepped up to the plate. If this is going to replace your DAW or not will depend on your personal taste and workflow. My guess is it will be a nice tool to jump in and out of just like Reason is.
“Welcome to Record, Propellerhead Software’s brand new recording software. Record gives you unlimited audio tracks, world class effects and mixing gear, and a whole new take on music recording. With an intuitive, straightforward interface and a hands-on approach to capturing performances, Record was designed for musicians – not audio engineers. This is recording done right.” – Propellerheads.se

Dave Spoon says, “The best records sometimes are just very simple and easier said than done.”. I can’t agree with that more. Usually if you’re tweaking for hours with a mountain of sound layers your probably working on a turd. Here’s a quick look at his Reason file for his big UK hit “At Night” (iTunes).

Tonight’s homework is to throw some vocoder into a track. If you own Propellerheads Reason 4 you have a great vocoder. The video above shows you how to set it up. Can anyone name the tunes playing?

There’s nothing more pathetic than Polar Bear’s drowning because we melted too much the world’s Arctic ice shelf. Could buying a ReFill for Propellerhead’s Reason help? New Atlantis Audio will be release ReFills of which a percent of the sale will go to charity. Upcoming charities include the Elevate Hope Foundation, Shriners Hospitals for Children and the WWF (World Wildlife Fund).
“Hi Oliver, We are a new sound design company who’ve just released our first product, “Polar Elements”, a ReFill for Propellerhead Reason 4. Our mission is to provide musicians with unique, high-quality affordable audio products, while raising money for worthy causes which are important to ourselves and our users. A portion of the proceeds of this sale with be going to help protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Northern Alaska.” New Atlantis Audio, newatlantisaudio.com
The first ReFill from New Atlantis Audio is called Polar Elements. It requires Reason 4, contains 50 Combinator patches and has an introductory price of $5.00. Interestingly the ReFill was created to induce visions of the Polar region. You can hear an audio sample here: newatlantisaudio.com/reason-refill-polar-elements

I love the Formant Filter in Propellerhead Reason’s Thor synthesizer. I also think Scream4 is one of the best software distortions out there. So if your stuck in a cubicle or need a reminder that Reason is great here’s a sample:

A few weeks ago Propellerhead asked me to send them my favorite Patches that come with Reason. I picked my top five and wrote a little about why each sound tickles my brain in a happy way. To view my choices: click here
“Artist Patch Charts. Go-to sounds of the pros. Ever wondered what the bass sound in that track was? How they made the harp glissandos in that movie, the shimmering strings in that commercial, or why the snare in that track sounds so familiar? We did. And that’s why we’re presenting our favorite producer’s and artist’s top sounds.” – Propellerheads.se

Today I present to you a highly fun Reason beginner tip: Instead of placing notes into Reason’s fun Matrix Sequencer use the Randomize function. But don’t give yourself carpel tunnel syndrome by pushing the mouse pointer to the Edit menu and selected Randomize Pattern. Simply hold down the Command (Apple) key and hit R. Now… do it over and over until you get something you like.

The always busy James Bernard from Propellerhead Software went to LA to interview Bon Harris one of the founding members of Nitzer Ebb. It doesn’t surprise me to hear he’s using Reason to create the music for the upcoming all new NE album. Reason seems to be a center piece in a lot of EBM bands today. It was a happy surprise to hear the bassline Mr. Harris let us have a sneak peak of because it had an old school Nitzer Ebb feel to it. If Douglas McCarthy can get angry enough to put proper vocals on this remains to be seen. I for one really hope the magic returns.
Keep up with NE here: www.nitzer-ebb.de and myspace.com/nitzerebbmusic
