Here's a lil hate for you:
Kanye's a COLLEGE dropout, not high school.
Hope you got your GED in case dub C doesn't re-up with Cube and Mac 10!

HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE!
(*cheers and pumps fist*)

As he spreads hate through out the room, I am struck by an odd silence... Could it be that silence is your musical career??

Doggz trust me, I'm just a litle bit better than you on Both Reason and Being a wise-ass!!! So before you begin to make this a real foul place to exchange info, get your weight (and your credits) up. Unless you have more than 18 gold an Platinum tracks on your wall, I'd suggest you fall abck and try and learn something!

There are a great number of cats out there making music and getting paid to do so. I see very few of them reaching back to share the knowledge that got them where they are. I am doing just that. And for my effort, I have to deal with mental midgets like you. Relax, your little joke was funny for about a half a second. Now can we get back to what everyone really came here for? Where are YOUR beats son? And for the record, Dub-C is my cousin!!! I'll tell him u said what up!
 
relax big rush!
it was a joke, don't you watch Chappelle's show?

i actually enjoyed that rnb joint on your site and i appreciate any time someone with some credentials comes in and shares some knowledge.

not at all joking when i say i wish you and everyone here the best, playa.

jeez.
tough crowd...

In the future you may wanna try and save ya Dave Chapelle impression till we've had a proper intro. I can take a joke but, at the time I was in work mode and u were interrupting. Do I come and knock the dildo outta your ass while you're working??? Hows was that for funny?

Apology Accepted.
 
not bad,
but i prefer "the mop outta your hand".
it's a little less crude.
either way, it's all love.

since your posting, let me ask you though: are there any hardware controllers you've used or recommend for reason knob tweaking?

You invoke the name of Dave Chappelle and you think I'm Crude???? Now THAT was funny!!!!!

I use the Kurzweil 2500 because thats what I have. I've heard the triton has nice controller features (I.E. Programmable buttons, knobs, sliders etc..) If you are on a budget, Any of the M-Audio Controllers work just fine. I tend to like programming my sliders and etc myself, so the Kurzweil is my choice. I use the Akai MPD 16 and it has programmable features. I set it up sometimes to comtrol drum mutes when I'm doing automation... I think it comes down to a personal choice. I'm not overly concerned about pportablity although I do all my beats from a laptop, so The board with the most stuff on it wins.

You mentioned earlier the R&B track on my soundclick site (http://www.soundclick.com/bands/5/bigrushmusic.htm), for the samples to change keys in DrRex. I programmed the MPD 16 to switch the transpose because I liked the feel of the drum pad (I use real loose quantize).

I think it comes down to personal choice.
 
Don't know what happened to my rply but I'll hit you when I get back...

I didn't read all of the postings above so chances are that someone has probably allready said some of the things I'm about to say hehe

Oh how I'm glad to see that it isn't just me getting tired of people doging reason and calling it a toy, "a great steppingstone" at best. That program is loaded with capability and if you're not getting what you want...guess what? It ain't the program that's lacking potential, it's the man behind rack.
Currently I'm using Reason rewired with Cubase, but mostly for the vocal recording. I've been using reason since it first came, and listening to the things I made back then compared to what I make now, I'm able to support the statement that; "If you're not getting what you need it's the man behind the rack" even further.
Reason has come a long way from starting with only one sampler and one synth, but that's where the challenge lies isn't it?
I think that people have a tendensy to dog what they don't understand and people of this generation (myself included) hasn't had all that much experience with hardware so when presented to Reason, really gets thrown off by the complex look of it. I'm a musician so I take it upon me to learn how they did it in the old days to understand production better, and back then it was all hardware and hard work. Now, when R3 is coming it's getting even better, allthough I have to express my disappointment in the sense that it's lacking any new synths to play with. The combinator caught my eye though and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on it. Of course the new MClass tools isn't exactly going to hurt either. I wasn't all that happy with the compressor in the Reason before now, the new one is way more userfriendly and not to mention the fact that the knobs/faders on R3 has "real values" instead of 0-127...it really is better to see the ms & Hz...

Ok this is getting way to long so I'll back of now hehe

92, i feel u on what u were saying. alot of people knock on people who use reason, not knowing what they are talkin about. its like, if u don't have an mpc hooked up to a triton, u aint makin hiphop then. wtf, lol. it doesn't matter what u use, it's all about whats in ur head and how u can freak what u got. i remember i was in a studio one time playing some of my tracks for some people, and this one producer there came up to me and asked "what u use for that track, sounds like an mpc2000." i laughed at him and said, "naw man, it's just reason linked up to cubase." at that moment, i turned a skeptic into a believer.
 
So what ur saying is that you made dem beats that r on the westside connection album?
 
question?

reason or logic pro?
I'm just talking about usable prof sounding synth sounds
 
Sota30002000 - That's like asking pizza with the things I can find in my fridge or go get some (third party) ingredients.

If you're using Reason you have 2 synth modules and 1 advanced sampler to play with, not to mention that you get to rig the cables yourself to reshape and mangle sound at your own will. Now...I'm the kinda guy you'll probably see fighting some guy on the corner cause he said that Reason sucks, but if we really put things in perspective here, comparing Reason to Logic when it comes to synths, it's like rigging a battle between Malstrøm and Absynth...sorry mate I'm dedicated to Reason but there's no way in satans hometown that Malstrøm is going to win that one.
Reason has the advantage that you get to play around with the cables in the rear and thus offers some serious room for experimentation.
If you ask me, I'd go for R3...first of all: I don't have a mac...so I guess Logic really isn't an option...2nd...I would marry reason if it had legs and the female curvature (God knows Reason is smarter than some of the lady's I've come across) 3rd...It's a challenge, and by having challenges at your hands they will aid in making you a better musician in the end. Cause you're gonna spend so many hours trying to get things right, not because Reason can't give you a fast "ok sounding" track, but simply because every challenge increases your level of quality and sets the bar even higher.
In the end you've done everything so many times that you'll end up fixing a less than prefect track by using a technique you've gathered thru your learning period with reason.

Can you give me a copy please? Just kidding,.... Unless you gone do it.
 
i'm thinking of becoming a properller head
i went to guitar center inquiring about cubase sx3 and found out there was no such thing as an upgrade. one must purchase sx3 for 600 beans i'm like what the f%^$. cool i'll spend my money on something else

reason 3 is $200 for student
 
Reason 3.0 Factory Sound Bank Cd3

hey i am a newbie at this reason thing...i was on board with the fruity loops thing, but now i am trying to step up my game and take it to the next level with reason 3.0. i here so much about it..and what you can do with it....anyway my question is does anybody know where i can down load the factory sound bank for reason 3.0 i already have the first 2 cds i just need the factory soundbank to finish my install. so if some was to be so kind and help a brotha out it would be much appreciated.......thanks in advance



here is a link to one of my projects give me some honest feed back i am working with a artist called BIGGA BLACK he is featured on the majority of tracks on there got some solo joint on there too. the label is called GIFT OF GAB ENTERTAINMENT so be on the look out we tryna make some nosie in the 05

Check this out: http://www.soundclick.com/util/DownloadSong.cfm?ID=1646088
 
I might be wrong here but...I think you can get the factory soundbank from...www.propellerhead.se...but I guess I'm stupid to suggest that...after all they make the software, so why should you pay them?
With this rate of cracked software users we should be lucky to even see Reason 5 enter the market...ever...
 
Maybe I'm a little in the dark, but how did you acquire the first two cd's and not the complete package?
 
And if I may add............................
I Love Reason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is the upgrade from 2.5 worth the hassle? I am content with 2.5......If it is simply new toys to play with I probably won't bother!
