Producing Music with Reason

With a rack of virtual instruments, effects, mixers, a comprehensive sequencer, extensive groove control for fine-tuning the “feel” of your music, and a patching system that emulates real-world hardware setups, Reason provides a nearly complete production environment for producers and engineers. Producing Music with Reason presents a broad overview of this versatile software’s capabilities, and the techniques you’ll need to learn to operate it effectively. The course covers sampling, sound design, and sequencing basics, and guides you from the fundamentals of mixing and mastering to more advanced problem solving techniques that will improve your overall productions. You’ll learn to create your own unique sounds, and because the program’s parts closely parallel much of the setups used by today’s top producers, you’ll also learn portable skills that you can transfer to a number of different software and hardware setups.

By the end of this course, you will:

• Develop your own instrument patches
• Understand simple and advanced samplers
• Compose using multiple pattern sequencers
• Apply real-time grooves to change the “feel” of your music
• Know how to make and use a catchy hook
• Give song structure to your project
• Mix and master your final project
