“ Hello guys at macprovideo.com !
Firts of all, thanks a lot for your tutorials, I really learned so much with them. They are always very well made and never boring. BUT I was a bit dissapointed by the latest Reason tutorial. I had seen the Reason 3 tutorial and it is basically the same ! Reason 4's new features are mentionned but I didn't learn anything new. I was expecting some great tips about the Thor and Regroove and other stuff but nada !
The tutorial is very good for somebody new to Reason but I've been using Reason for quite some time now and I wanted more. Hopefully in the next one... ”

“ I thought this tutorial was very good. It gives a complete overview at a basic level of how to use Reason V4. But I want more ... I would like to see Paul do intermediate level tutorials as well, say on Reason 4 as well as for Pro Tools V7.4, you know more like a "110" level of training.
Well done ”

Description
Propellerhead Reason was the first "Studio In A Box" to be come out, and it still makes waves to this day for being one of the must intuitive, easy to use, and FUN audio programs on the market. There's something about being able to create a custom rack and wire it up like your patching together an old analog synth that makes Reason a really rewarding program to use. This software is all about instant gratification, but you still need to know a few tricks to help you get the most out of it.
In this 5 hour tutorial program, macProVideo.com's star trainer Paul Garay demonstrates some incredible Reason 4 tips, tricks, and workflow techniques that will get you making music quickly. You'll learn how to create and patch together custom racks and then use Reason's sequencer to edit and automate MIDI data so your custom racks sing like a concert diva.
Paul also provides a solid overview of Reason 4's main synthesizers, including the NN-XT Advanced Sampler and the amazing new Thor Polysonic Synthesizer. Once you've created your sounds, see how reason's built in DSP effects can be used to enhance your sound. You'll also learn how to use Reason's M-Class Mastering Suite to put the finishing gloss on your songs.
