115 Reason in the Real World
115: Reason in the Real World
Reason in the Real World is written by MIDI master and EQ’s executive editor Craig Anderton. It covers all of Reason's basics and advanced concepts, MIDI and shows how to make Reason part of a music composition system. Reason has always been recognized as a superb stand-alone application. However, it's also an outstanding team player when rewired into a host program such as Pro Tools or as part of a MIDI-based composition or live performance system.

 

115: Reason in the Real World

  • MIDI meets Reason. The details behind Reason's MIDI implementation.
  • Reason as an instrument. How to use MIDI controller signals and hands-on control devices to add expressiveness.
  • The Reason sequencer. Go beyond (note on/note) off by learning how to maximize the use of controllers, velocity, pattern-based sequencing, and the like.
  • All about ReWire. Learn the ins and outs of using Reason in context with host programs such as Pro Tools and Sonar, particularly with respect to MIDI and audio integration. Experience (The Power to Create).
  • Reason in live performance. It's not just for the stage; taking a live performance approach while recording can lead to more spontaneous music.
  • Loops and Reason. If you're into loop-based music, Reason is a great playback and development tool. This course also covers the relationship between MIDI and REX files, and how to use MIDI editing to alter digital audio.
  • Reason as a signal processor. The new MClass processors don't just add a professional veneer to Reason projects, but can be used with external audio as well.
