Reason for Beginners
proposed by kevinmccallister
I will teach the basic principles and functions of the software application Reason for making music. This will also include:
strategies for compositions
demonstration of various synths and filters
mixing and mastering
Class is free of charge. If you do not own the program, I encourage you to download it. A free demo version is available on their website.
Class will take place at my apartment. Bring your laptop and the program. Will teach however many are interested.

could this class be paired with the basic electronics class? Maybe it can be like a 2 day thing-- make instruments on day 1 then day 2 is composition/mixing? Either way I'd like to get together and play with Reason

Reason is a music software program developed by Swedish software developers Propellerhead Software. It emulates a rack of hardware synthesizers, samplers, signal processors, sequencers and mixers, all of which can be freely interconnected in an arbitrary manner. Reason can be used either as a complete virtual music studio, or as a collection of virtual instruments to be played live or used with other sequencing software. Reason 1.0 was released in November 2000. The program's design mimics a studio rack into which users can insert virtual devices such as instruments, effects processors and mixers. These modules can be controlled from Reason's built-in MIDI sequencer or from other sequencing applications such as Pro Tools, Logic, FL Studio, Digital Performer, Cubase, Sonar and GarageBand via Propellerhead's ReWire protocol.lpi practice test
