Saturday afternoon, i headed over to Robotspeak in San Francisco where GW Childs and I presented a Reason 3.0 Clinic. Unfortunately, Robotspeak did not receive copies of Reason 3.0, so in order to give the presentation I had to install a beta test copy. GW and I were pleasantly surprised to see the place fill […]

Friday night, a group of Reason users from the SF Bay Area got together to meet up for the first time. The evening was organized by Ed (EditED4TV), and a group of 10 of us met up for dinner in downtown Walnut Creek. It was pretty cool to hang out and talk Reason and finally […]

Reason 3.0 is officially released! After several months since the announcement, it’s finally available. Yes, go order it now! If you already have R3.0, I’ve started adding a few small files for R3 on my reason page.
Definitely check out the Combi patches. A lot of us put a lot of time in on these and […]

It’s been a rough week trying to juggle things around. This year, my normal obligations have me quite busy, and it’s been pretty tough trying to switch modes from work to music projects to writing.
The main project occupying my time, has been the revised second edition of Power Tools for Reason. I keep thinking […]

In accordance with the NDA. This entry was posted after the Release of Reason 3.0

ReFill:: The second Circuit Bent refill went online this past week. A last minute change occurred while I was testing out this new mic-pre, and I got the itch to see what the Speak & Spell sounds like tracked through it. Along with a tweaked set of alphabet samples, a second straight set of voice […]

Reason Studies:: Yesterday. I dropped by to check out Gus Lanzas’ Advanced Reason class held at Robotspeak in SF. There were only a handful of people who attended so the class was pretty mellow. Gus also offers classes in Ableton Live, Logic, Pro Tools, as well as beginner Reason courses. Having been around the business […]

Reason:: The New Electro Mechanical Refill from Propellerhead Software is out. This is a sweet selection of Rhodes EPs, Wurly EPs, Clavinet, and Hammond Samples. The samples are fantastic. The 11 velocity layer Rhodes Mark I is really outstanding. It’s a free download for registered Reason 2.5 users at the Prop’s Website.
ReFill:: The first of […]

TXT:: I just finished up an article for Computer Music mag for the CM Interactive reader questions on Reason. This is one of two projects Ronan has requested from me, which should be appearing in the coming months. He sprung this one on me last week while I was in the middle of writing another […]

Reason: Example Project adapted from Power Tools for Reason 2.5

Reason:: I’ve added a few files to the Reason Archive as well as the Subscriber’s Archive. First is the revised version of Archer. This one has a few of the loops removed because of copyright issues with the publishers. The other is a little experiment with the subtractor. I basically recorded all the knob tweaks […]

REASON:: I’ve posted some detailed Information about the track Archer [Mix 2]. This chart details what sounds are synthesized, the loops used, and the samples used. Also the effects and control voltage modulations of the various devices.
