Eric is such a gifted composer. To make a soundtrack like stardew's for your first game is absurd. It sounds like it was made by a well established seasoned pro. Its honestly one of the best game soundtracks I've ever heard, and I'm not just saying that
Eric Barone is seriously a generational artist. There are only a few people every generation with talent like his. I’m so glad I exist in the same time and place as his art.
Hilariously, I slowed some parts around 1:24:00 to .5 speed so I could write down some inspiring notes etc. Man, they sound crazy drunk at that speed and it turns it into a late night chat about how to make music. 10/10
Eric and Amber both deserve everything they have and will have for their family. What a top pair of humans. Thank you for Stardew Valley, and thank you for the inspiration.
I'm so glad RUclips decided to show me this. Eric Barone is absolutely one of the reasons I got into indie game development. I don't know if I'll ever have to grit to get into a solo project like he did, but I still decided go from a counselor's career to going back in college to learn Unity and independent video game design thanks to your influence. And now thanks to this live stream, I actually feel more confident about attempting music too. Thank you.
As a long time Reason user and casual SV fan this was phenomenal. The music was always my favorite part of the game and it should seem obvious in retrospect that it was made in Reason, but it's so far beyond that. It really goes to show how simple tools/stock sounds can create something uniquely amazing when you have the creativity. What an intelligent and humble guy. Thanks for this!
There is no other daw I know of that has such a vast variety of fairly high quality stock instruments, all packed into one plugin. Most daws stock 'real' instruments sound like shite.
Eric Barone is the best. It's pretty awesome to learn that someone I consider an inspiration uses Reason for the same reasons I do, and even cooler to see how close my methods of composition are to his. 10/10 interview.
Any chance you remember where in the interview he mentioned those reasons? Among all the options I'm still wondering how / why he chose this specific software..
Great interview with an amazing artist! Thanks so much for the interview, and for Stardew Valley! Looking forward to Haunted Chocolatier in the future!
If theres anything wholesome in this world, it's Eric and his game(s). Absolutely cannot wait for Chocolatier and the countless blissful hours it will bring. also OH MY GOD that snow piece... Autumn and Winter tunes are my absolute favs in Stardew. I'm getting chills from this.
Excellent interview. Eric it was so awesome getting to know a little more about you and your story. I love Stardew and can't wait for Haunted Chocolatier. Also, thanks for the sneak peek into the music, that was so great!
Eric is the one who got me into using Reason. Years back when I started learning about game design and composing, I already had a background of music as a pianist. But I knew little about music software and DAWs. I remember reading an interview where he mentioned what DAW he created the soundtrack in and I was playing a lot of Stardew Valley and loved it so figured I would give it a shot. For many years, it was in the back of my mind wondering how he did some of the songs and would have loved to see the project files. With this stream, that is a long wish that has been granted. This was absolutely awesome! It didn't disappoint at all either seeing just how simple he kept things and just the full reliance on the songs just "feeling right". Not worrying about anything else. It is too easy to get caught up in so many details and trying to get too fancy with racks, plugins and details. He is a great reminder to just focus on a good song and, if need be, worry about the rest later. Thanks for this stream!!
As someone who has composed only with a desktop keyboard for the past few years, it was super inspiring and cool to see that Eric also composes music in a similar way. Super thankful to see a stream like this and excited to hear more of CAs music in the future!
I think the music Stardew is a huge reason of why the game just makes you feel sooooo cozy. When I’m not playing Stardew but hear the soundtrack I almost want to cry. The music just makes you FEEL Stardew Valley! This man is so talented. I’m almost as excited about the music in Haunted Choclatier as I am about the game itself.
This was really great, thank you so much Reason Studios and Eric Barone for making it happen! I feel so... validated right now! I'm a Studio One user, and when i do my electronic based music, i mouse click on piano roll more often than not! The computer is a legitimate instrument. I play guitar, too. Twilight Zone moment: I've never sat through a music production live stream without hearing "DAW" and you never said it once! : ) For people curious, some long-ish thoughts on a couple of topics: There are very small USB keyboards ("midi controllers") that do make input a lot easier in many circumstances. I have an AKAI LPK25, the best most reliable affordable entry level item i could find. it has tiny keys which are perfect for my slender girl fingers. I graduated to an Arturia Keystep, more features, bigger, great quality. I work in a tight space and i didn't want to get too much too soon and i honestly don't think i'll ever need another. I had found the QWERTY interface (for me in S1) tricky to set up and the midi controller took some of the stress away so i could get to making music faster. Another great way to input is Musescore! When i want to flex my theory, i can work til i have what i want on standard notation staves and export midi files to import into my S1 session. Once in there i can edit, change, cut paste etc etc. (I worked hard to learn that theory and it's a great tool to have in the tool box!) Compressors... more often than not, a compressor is applied to a recorded live performance of a bass, (drums, guitars, vocals, etc.) when the input is going to have a large variety of volume and attack. No live performance is ever perfect. You can use a compressor to smooth out variations in volume, but you have a lot of control about how to shape the attack and sustain which affects how the sound sits in the final mix. Many guitarists will have a compressor as part of their pedal board chains for live shows. And, again, wholeheartedly agree, stock plugins are great, and I know I use my Studio One sample based instruments for a lot of what i do. For people interested in some other great and FREE sample library instruments.. Check out Spitfire Audio LABS. Get out and make some music! It's (almost) as much fun as playing Stardew! : )
Oh my God this was so incredible! I always wished I could make music for fun but those softwares are so complicated and when I search online people are so technical. I never imagined we could take such a simple approach to this art. Eric is such an awesome dude, I listen to stardew music almost everyday to clean my house or work, it turns daily activities into magical moments. Loved every bit of this stream and I'm a bigger fan of his now.
Eric is such a down-to-earth, humble, and insightful person. I have the utmost respect for him as a programmer, musician, and person. The SDV soundtrack is amazing because it has soul. *Older games had catchier melodies because they had to compensate for the (relatively) primitive audio chips.* That influence shines through but his music isn't constrained by sample size, polyphony, or channel limits. The effects and "glitters" are the icing on the cake. I can't think of a developer who has more genuine love for his fans and work. I love the term "glitters", by the way. I always called them "fills" but his wording is more interesting The SDV soundtrack reminds me of music I grew up listening to during the 8, 16, and 32-bit eras. A lot of tracks sound like they were influenced by Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, and Dragon Quest but *they have their own identity.* Modern games often suffer from soundtracks that are overly ambient, orchestral, and unmemorable (not bad music but nobody listens to them outside the game). I was surprised to hear he has no formal music theory or classical training! I assumed he was playing piano and reading music as a kid based on the production quality. Music theory can help you understand it but can also lead to constrained and artificial production, "I have to make it in G minor for... some reason!", lol A lot of people get caught up in the technical details which is self-limiting (and sometimes elitist gate-keeping). When I started making music I felt obligated to make my own synthesizers from scratch. It just left me frustrated with half-baked ideas. I make the best sounds when I start with a solid preset and modify it's ADSR and effects to suit the music. I make my own patches but only for very specific sounds, effects, or synths. SDV proves that you can make an amazing soundtrack consisting largely of Reason presets. It's not the tool or "how technical" but *how you use it.* Plenty of blues legends made amazing and groundbreaking music on worn-out and beat-up guitars. *The most important thing is that the music sounds good.* If only I had the nerve to publicly publish any of my original music. I only show it to my friends when they express interest, lol Thank you for having this interview and thank you, Eric, for taking the time to participate and share your work! *I loved your reaction when he showed that ethereal arpeggio was actually a percussive patch with very low attack. That put a smile on my face :)* Eric is one of the few people that I *admire* in the world as I don't like celebrity worship (the other people being my parents, brothers, and David Lynch). Although, I get the impression that praise and compliments make him uncomfortable, lol. Further proving that he's a genuinely good dude. Massive respect and *intuition is underrated!* Haunted Chocolatier looks like it's going to be the perfect balance of new and familiar. The 3 tracks I heard are awesome! The Bee Boss music is *very* unique. It's like techno-Latin music with a buzzing synth lead. Catchy as hell and very interesting!
What gets me is, I wasn't originally interested in HC because it clearly differs from Stardew Valley which is the game I'm into. But that boss battle music not only made an impression on me but it made me interested in the game. The fact that the music alone did this is impressive, considering how rarely I follow a game's development.
I love Eric’s music in the game and I believe there’s a SV orchestra performance now 😊. I love gaming music and film soundtracks and bond with my 14 year old grandson about games. I don’t play Baldur’s Gate or similar but I watch run throughs etc. I played Super Mario when younger and the music still makes me smile. With games I think there is a music/heart/+mind connection which is kinda unique. Can’t quite put my finger on it. Anyway, I’m very grateful to Eric and all creative folk out there that fulfil this combo 🥇👏🏼.
Thank you for Ryan and Eric to make this happen! Really neat and inspiring share. I definitely have the same feeling about Compressor 🤣I believe it's more important for certain kind of genre or workflow. Like sound design in electronic music and as a trimming tool for real recordings. But it would not make too much sense otherwise. Some tips on using Reverb: You would always want to check your reverb amount on headphone, because it tends to exaggerate the effect, while using speakers would down play it. Same goes to the panning and stereo stuff.
Thank you for enabling things like this with Reason! I have always been on a music class here in Finland and I am currently on my first music high school year so I am 16 yo. I didn't earlier no how composing nowadays really worked but only watching Eric and you talk with the software I became interested of composing myself. You know I just usually make those little songs but don't really mark them down anywhere. Now I realized I could actually make music with practise with the software! A new customer in a few years at least! I live in Finland so I'll go to army training after high school but after that I promise I will start composing!
the advice at 29:40 I am the opposite! xD Im really good at getting on with things by myself. But as soon as I tell someone my plans and what I am up to, the pressure is enough to make me quit. xD
Great livestream and a fantastic start into the new session. I never played Stardew Valley but Eric seems really passionate about the music and the game. I think he would have stuck around longer just to show more songs and get into some of the melodies and small ear candy sounds he made. He seems to really enjoy showing his tracks. Great talk for both Stardew Valley and Reason fans and thank you for bringing him to the table. All the best for his new game!
This is amazing, like I don’t even know where to start. I was literally doing google searches hoping to find at least an article going over the star dew compositions and you guys provided 2 hours! Edit: don’t give me the f***ing verb pls, or make it a macro
If anyone is curious about one of the old games ConcernedApe mentions in this video, one of them is called Air Pear and I just uploaded the soundtrack recently.
A stream with Coffee Stain Studios from Sweden would also be nice. The Satisfactory soundtrack was also created with Reason. Or directly with the producers Jannik Reuterberg.
That was a demo song made using a sound pack that's included with our Reason+ subscriptions (music making software). It was made by Seán Murray. Sounds great right?! Thanks for tuning in! /ryan
Does anyone know the story behind his choice of Reason? With so many bigger alternatives out there, that's what I was hoping to learn here (didn't seem to be addressed unfortunately). Was still very cool to see and hear about his process. Especially glad he brought up "The Wind Can Be Still" - love playing that one on piano
OMG he's hot too. Sorry for being shallow. I majored in games design so already in awe of the guy for doing what we all dream of and /making that game/ we all want to make but don't actually have time for with our real jobs. So he's inspiring but damn also good looking. I also didn't know he did his own music. Respect.
I think he did fine. I get the sense Eric isn't hyper talkative, so he's gotta fill the void otherwise the listener gets bored or the interview feels empty and awkward.
I make so much better music in my 40s compared to my 20s .... let’s not forget Quincy jones was well into his 50s when he produced thriller.... me personally I think I get a lot better with age when it comes to music production
14 million on PC and 9 million on consoles. The guy is worth over $130m now. Just from bedroom coding a single game. Amazing! Hope he marries a supermodel, buys a horse to ride around on and has 2 kids that never grow past the age of 8. He's earned it!
So many people are bad at interviewing. Let the dude talk my man its not a discussion or you becoming his best mate by talking the most. Its you asking smart short questions
Eric is such a gifted composer. To make a soundtrack like stardew's for your first game is absurd. It sounds like it was made by a well established seasoned pro. Its honestly one of the best game soundtracks I've ever heard, and I'm not just saying that
I once was in an Asian grocery store and heard the spring theme playing over the speakers! It turns out people really like it 🤣
Eric Barone is seriously a generational artist. There are only a few people every generation with talent like his. I’m so glad I exist in the same time and place as his art.
Everytime CA is interviewed I'm reminded of how humble that man is.
Seeing CA vibing and geeking out to his songs is something I didn't think I'd ever get to see. Truly remarkable. Thank you for this
Listening to CA talk just puts me in a good mental space, he's such an inspiration
Hilariously, I slowed some parts around 1:24:00 to .5 speed so I could write down some inspiring notes etc. Man, they sound crazy drunk at that speed and it turns it into a late night chat about how to make music. 10/10
1:37:12 is a Haunted Chocolatier soundtrack tease.
It's just like boss fight
Legend for the heads up
Holy shit that song is so good
Undertale/Deltarune vibes. I love it.
This song is too good
ConcernedApe is so wise and this was quite insightful.
Eric and Amber both deserve everything they have and will have for their family. What a top pair of humans. Thank you for Stardew Valley, and thank you for the inspiration.

So, how is it going? Where are you at?
Re: the discussion at about 31:00 Stardew Valley came out in 2016. We NEEDED something this wonderful, and fun, and positive, and beautifully made.
Thanks both of you guys! As a Stardew Valley fan, it's fun to watch!
1:37:12 Bee Boss soundtrack tease
1:48:53 Snowy Night soundtrack tease
loved this! it's always so cool to hear about eric's process and work. it was also great to hear some of what he's got going in haunted chocolatier!

@@jimmccloskey3601 it's been a year and this is a 2 hour long livestream, no I don't remember where in the interview 😄
That was awesome. Eric is such a role model in every aspect!

Never considered playing this game but the fact he’s a Reason user is opening my mind up to it.

This was so incredibly informative and inspiring. Cannot THANK YOU all enough for doing this!
7:12 once he said this. i started tearing up. dude knows whats up. being ell into my 30s, i still take moments to ponder those thoughts
Thank you for Ryan and Eric to make this happen!
Really neat and inspiring share.

Loved this guys. As a longtime Reason user (Reason 1.0) I am reminded of why i love Reason in the first place.
Keep this series going forever guys.👍🏿
10:00 - video games are the best artistic medium because they combine visual art, music, and writing...
Incredibly inspiring! What an awesome dude!
1:14:14 This seems like the appropriate time to ask: Is there a switch to bypass all effects in a Reason project?
whoa recognizing the name of so many stardew creators in the chat was fun
Talking about Chiptune. Look at David Wise. An absolute genuis. :"] I loved this interview. I love the game, the creator and I'm an avid Reason user.
So awesome to see Reason *STANDALONE DAW* being used in this capacity! Awesome livestream!
Great livestream and a fantastic start into the new session. I never played Stardew Valley but Eric seems really passionate about the music and the game. I think he would have stuck around longer just to show more songs and get into some of the melodies and small ear candy sounds he made. He seems to really enjoy showing his tracks. Great talk for both Stardew Valley and Reason fans and thank you for bringing him to the table. All the best for his new game!
Thank you that was outstanding
Damn when he booted up the summer track I got hit with the nostalgia train. Really wanna do another playthrough
This was so awesome. Thank you so much!! ❤
This is amazing, like I don’t even know where to start. I was literally doing google searches hoping to find at least an article going over the star dew compositions and you guys provided 2 hours!
Edit: don’t give me the f***ing verb pls, or make it a macro
that bee boss song is my new favourite thing ever
If anyone is curious about one of the old games ConcernedApe mentions in this video, one of them is called Air Pear and I just uploaded the soundtrack recently.
A stream with Coffee Stain Studios from Sweden would also be nice. The Satisfactory soundtrack was also created with Reason. Or directly with the producers Jannik Reuterberg.
Loved the stream and cant wait for HC!
What was that banging track at the start of the stream?!
That was a demo song made using a sound pack that's included with our Reason+ subscriptions (music making software). It was made by Seán Murray. Sounds great right?! Thanks for tuning in! /ryan
@@ReasonStudios Sounds great! Would listen to that day to day!
@@ReasonStudios It would be cool if one of the stardew songs was a demo song!
@@ReasonStudios Are we able to find the track literally anywhere..? Keep returning here to listen to the few seconds at the start haha
ericccccc boiiiiii. i wasn't aware you so handsome 🤩 thank you for stardew valley, love it, can't wait for haunted chocolatier
Does anyone know the story behind his choice of Reason? With so many bigger alternatives out there, that's what I was hoping to learn here (didn't seem to be addressed unfortunately). Was still very cool to see and hear about his process. Especially glad he brought up "The Wind Can Be Still" - love playing that one on piano
This game is popular for a Reason.
39:18 spat my food when he said that.
Hahaha, Eric is low key comedian.
Throughout the whole interwiev COLUMBIA FRUIT be like: 📦
Not gonna lie as a long time Ableton user this made me want to use Reason I just like how everybody seems really happy 😂😂
Little do we know that Haunted Cholocatier is a crossover between stardew valley and elden ring
I just had little bit of issue not host talking too much, I know Eric is more like person of: now its your turn to talk, but you know
Great interview
This was great, thank you!
Bee Boss really slaps
1:56:43 - Maybe 8bit Music Theory could look at this soundtrack?
Damn this is a great interview 🤓👍
1:15:22 no effects part
1:05:43 with effects
what software he use to make the soundtrack?
It says in the title? Reason.
55:00 they start talking abouyt the specific instruments :) note for myself for later
Hello :) What is the name of the song in the intro? Thanks!
OMG he's hot too. Sorry for being shallow. I majored in games design so already in awe of the guy for doing what we all dream of and /making that game/ we all want to make but don't actually have time for with our real jobs. So he's inspiring but damn also good looking. I also didn't know he did his own music. Respect.
Eric is a special fella.

My fav game 🥰
Please let the artist talk 90%, host 10%
I agree, this was so interesting. But the host wouldn’t shut up 😂
I think he did fine. I get the sense Eric isn't hyper talkative, so he's gotta fill the void otherwise the listener gets bored or the interview feels empty and awkward.
Wonderful if only reason wasn’t completely pay to use after the trial would use again!
Reason 13 Player “Glitter Generator”.
I make so much better music in my 40s compared to my 20s .... let’s not forget Quincy jones was well into his 50s when he produced thriller.... me personally I think I get a lot better with age when it comes to music production
14 million on PC and 9 million on consoles. The guy is worth over $130m now. Just from bedroom coding a single game. Amazing! Hope he marries a supermodel, buys a horse to ride around on and has 2 kids that never grow past the age of 8. He's earned it!
🤣 gonna tell my ex wife I’m back with the milk !
can the host let him talk? this guy needs to realize the role of an interviewer
So many people are bad at interviewing. Let the dude talk my man its not a discussion or you becoming his best mate by talking the most. Its you asking smart short questions
I’m almost 40 and im a different musician than I was in my late teens/early twenties. A different person now but a better musician.
