    I like how you explain electronic music production with punk rock examples.
    I hate how every fucking song on the radio has the stupid "hey" all over it.
    I kinda appreciate the fact that I know why that is happening now.

    Damnit Ryan you make this stuff look TOO easy! All my hooks and melodies still resemble variations on happy birthday...

      Marc Laflamme hahahahahhahahaha that really made me laugh cause i can relate. Keep experimenting and most importantly listen to a LOT of music. All sorts of genres but make sure you enjoy it. Melody writing will become natural.

    i feel like the balance between predictability and unpredictability that we prefer is different for everyone. i feel that this is why some people enjoy catchy music and others just can't stand it.

    • @CharlesVanNoland
      @CharlesVanNoland 5 лет назад +8

      Good observation. It's interesting to note how the mainstream appreciates repetitive predictable radio pop music while 'refined' tastes prefer the likes of classical music - which is much less predictable and more of an ever-changing and evolving flow.

    That repetition with just a different last note results in about the most poppy melodies I've ever heard. Actually heard it a lot.

    I moved to Studio One for the expanded VST support. I was listening to some of my previous Reason recordings and I have to say - I impressed myself. Plus, Reason is so easy and intuitive. I might have to head back. Plus, these are the greatest tutorials. Nice job, Ryan!

    @NelsonCartier 6 лет назад +1

    I been dealing with reason for yrs I just started getting good 8 months ago buts its so much to learn I suggest being on it everyday fooling around that's how you get good...while watching videos like this helps increase your style...its ah different story when you got ppl in the booth.. you gotta be able to perform fast

  • @cgollimusic
    @cgollimusic 7 лет назад

    What's great is that none of this is new to me. It's stuff I've been aware of and been doing before, but the video puts it in such a straightforward way that you just want to go and pay more attention to it and experiment more.

    Hey Ryan, great tutorial, its going to give me some help in the studio! I have a question or a request rather. In like the first 10 seconds of the video, where the opening song comes in, can you make a tutorial on how to create that lead synth? It sounds like a sawtooth but I'm not sure, it sounds super clean. If anyone else has any idea or knows how to do it as well, it would be really helpful! Thanks!

    Ryan can we have a video for catchy chord progressions and also a Neurofunk drums and bass video ? Thanks :)

    • @ReasonStudios
      @ReasonStudios  7 лет назад +8

      Chord progressions is one I've considered but I fear people would dislike it because I'd be telling people how great it is to fall back on tried and true progressions that have birthed the greatest melodies of our time... but that inevitably leads people grumbling about cliches. But I'm considering it, anyway. :) /ryan

    • @ReasonStudios
      @ReasonStudios  7 лет назад

      Reason Essentials is 1/4th the price of Reason's full version but has very many of the same features. The rack and cabling power is all there. The Rack Extension instruments are available, too. And there's a cross-grade version available to the full Reason version when you're ready to move up to the full feature set. It's worth checking out if you're interested in getting into Reason in the easiest way possible. /ryan

  • @hereisrich
    @hereisrich 7 лет назад

    Great tips ... though a bit too "instant" in terms of your sudden composition choices that just so happen to sound in-scale and perfect. Might be good to avoid the doubletalk on repetition and variation by specifying *what* they apply to: repetition of overall structure, length, and rhythmic pattern; variation of expression that provides a sense of dialogue with a "call" and "answer".

    Can you show us how to tell if some sample of element in a track is off key

    • @ReasonStudios
      @ReasonStudios  7 лет назад

      It's a good question but I'm not sure I could easily show that. On the one hand, I'd say "does it sound bad? then it is bad." But that certainly isn't a good answer for you. :) Another thing I could recommend if you wanted to be absolutely sure would be to figure out which notes are playing in the sample and then double check that they're all in your song's key, which you could do even with a temporary piano you create in your song and a Scales and Chords player set to your key. But even that technique relies a lot on just 'well use your well-trained ear to figure out the sample notes' and I suspect that's a bad answer for you too. So I'm not sure if I have a good simple answer for you. /ryan
