    MixTape Clearance Needed?

    You need permission to use copyrighted material. Period. It doesn't matter if your giving it away, promotional use only, seling the cover art, you need permission. You need permission form the master copyright holder to use the track, and from the publisher to create a physical duplication...

    Reason Midi Question

    Under preferences and MIDI you need to specifically select which controller your using so Reason knows how to assign the midi to your device. You also may need to call up a pre-loaded pre-set on your controller that was made especially for reason.

    Remix VS Scratch

    I thought remix was just a mag about techno. Thanks for the look.

    Reason users: i DO NOT feel sorry for you

    Reason is a powerful sampler. The other stuff is just add-ons. If you use it like a powerful, customizable sampler, you will get the best results.

    Reason users: i DO NOT feel sorry for you

    This is diffidently the case. It is no complaint. Reason users are proud as shit cause they got the best thing in producing going, and it was cheap. Definitely a brag that they can do shit that people have spent thousands on gear doing.

    Reason.. Question

    There is no "separate the tracks" button if that’s what your asking. Reason is like a studio, there are no magic tricks. No, do the work for me plug-ins like an auto tune or vocal align. What you can do is take your sample and chop it up. You can do this with an audio editing program like...

    how does a motif 6 compare to an mpc1000

    Yeah Reason def has the sounds, and you can add more by getting what’s called a ReFill, which is kinda like a zip file that Reason reads that stores a ton of new samples. As far as the sounds on your Roland, you can use them in Reason but its not as simple as we would like it to be. Reasons...

    how does a motif 6 compare to an mpc1000

    Assuming you have a decent computer, what you need to get started is a Copy of Reason. It is an all in one studio software package. Some people prefer Fruity loops, but I really think thats only because they haven't taken the time to learn Reason (controversial point). Reason isn't that hard...

    how does a motif 6 compare to an mpc1000

    Go the software route man. Much more affordable, and much more upgradeable. You decide you want a compressor, good luck buying one. However, you can get a good software model for much less. If you have the dough to drop on all the stuff you need to make a hardware studio fine, but if not...

    Monitors: Which to get and Powered vs. Unpowered

    I noticed in the "What 1 thing is ur setup missing?" thread a lot of people said monitors. I am in the same position, and I am thinking about buying a pair. I plan on going to guitar center to test them out, but what brands/models should I be on the lookout for. Since I don't think many of...

    Beat Battle In Jersey On July 31st

    Sounds good. I think there should be some rules about having to trigger your samples live. Just hitting play and then pretending to conduct shit in the air is kinda stupid. Trinidad, Static flipped This Love 3 times! That shit was sick . The horse racing thing was crazy. When he...

    The top 5 super producers

    Who are the top five producers right now? Who has the most bangers, original beats, and started trends? I feel like Dre, Timberland, and Pete Rock will top this list, so lets take them out of the discussion for now and keep it focused on the relatively newer cats. I would say: 1. Scott...

    A Serious Question...

    Laptop, Dell, the inspiron 6000 is amazing. Get Protools Mpowered, the m-audio hardware is much better then the mbox and your going to need to have protools anyway if your going to engineering school

    Beat Battle In Jersey On July 31st

    Just got back from this battle. Not a Cd battle? That’s exactly what it was. The fact that the dudes were playing their tracks off an MPC or laptop isn't any different then popping in a CD. Some dudes were triggering a break now and then, but most had the whole thing tracked out...

    Holla Back Girl

    What do you guys think of this song? I think the beat is pretty dope, the lyrics are terrible. Seems like it has some good remix potential. Put a new acapella on it, and it would probably be pretty hot.

    REASON TIPS & TRICKS THREAD!!!

    The s1 and s2 controls at the top of each channel on the redrum refer to send1 and Send2 on the mixer. That way you can apply effects to each piece of your kit. I guess routing the entire thing to its own mixer and applying sends there would do the same thing.
