LIVICATED TO PROPELLERHEAD'S
DUB-FRIENDLY MUSIC PRODUCTION SOFTWARE |
| In
this time, making music using just a computer has
become what it should be: commonly accepted.
Propellerhead's music production software Reason
has played a huge part in this wonderful
development. The Dubroom shamelessly promotes
Reason as the most Dub friendly music production
software and therefore livicates this section to
all users of the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). CLICK
HERE to read the Dubroom's in-depth review of
Reason 8.0 for the Dub producers community to
discover why this section is here. |

REASON
8.0 IN DUB (3): Delayerings and
Reverberations
STUDIO
DUBROOM ON PROPELLERHEAD'S REASON |
| WWW,
November 2014 - Reverb and delay: the
two basic effects for a Dub mix. In this
third chapter of REASON 8.0 IN DUB, both
effects are subject to a deeper reviewing in
word, sound and sight. Another original
Reggae riddim was created, rendered to eight
audio tracks and imported into a multi-track
DUB set up in Reason. A report.
Before
we'll take a look at some of the delay and
reverb devices and -more important- see and
hear them in action, a few words about
creating a riddim in Reason. Reason 8.0's
new browser is a tremendous help during this
process. Where it's rather obvious how the
quality of the work-flow had dramatically
improved since Reason 3.0, this browser in
itself contributes significantly to it.
Picking sounds for your sampler or drum
computer goes very quick, especially when
you use the drag-and-drop possibilities.

REASON
8.0 IN DUB (2): The Echo And Synapse Wetness
STUDIO
DUBROOM ON PROPELLERHEAD'S REASON |
| WWW,
November 2014 - For this second part of
REASON 8.0 IN DUB, Messian Dread created
another original riddim and took a
thirty-day trial of the Synapse DR-1 Reverb
Rack Extension. He also tweaked THE ECHO in
what became yet another fat Dub created only
with Propellerhead's Reason 8.0. Another
report from the studio.
Reason's
RV-7000 Advanced Reverb does more than a
decent job, especially when you consider
it's the standard reverb in a 450 Euro DAW.
It has been used by many producers whose
choice was the RV-7000. Still, it turns out
the blue device doesn't do everything and
that's exactly where the DR-1 comes into
focus. Taking a thirty-day trial for the 35
Euro Reverb device is free, and it turned
out to be a very interesting choice.
Another
thing that really needed a deeper review is
THE ECHO, Propellerhead's very own
"Advanced Delay". To see it live
in action during a Dub mix is obviously the
best way to discover some of it's features
and that's exactly what can be done in this
report.

REASON
8.0 IN DUB (1): ACTION RACK EXTENSION
STUDIO
DUBROOM ON PROPELLERHEAD'S REASON |
| WWW,
November 2014 - After the very well
received review of Reason 8.0 especially for
the DUB Community, the Dubroom continues to
explore and review Propellerhead's flagship.
In "Action Rack Extension",
Messian Dread mixes eight audio tracks into
a heavy DUB using all six FX outputs on
Reason's console. A report in sight and
sound.
The best
way to explore Reason, obviously, is to
create riddims and make a Dubs from them.
This is exactly what has been going on these
last weeks over here in the Dubroom. At a
later stage, more about creating riddims
with Reason. For now, just the report that
creating riddims is a true joy and Reason
has a positive role in the inspiration.
Reason runs
in 64bit on a machine with 8 Gigs of RAM and
Intel processors of the newest kind. The
software was loaded with drum computers,
sound modules, loop players and of course
the Neptune voice synthesizer. As soon as
Reason hit the ceiling, the riddim was
rendered to hard disk in the form of eight
multi-tracks or stems. Unfortunately
these multi-tracks cannot be shared as that
would go beyond the Dubroom's license, but
the result can be witnessed in the form of a
You Tube video you can watch later on in
this report.

THE
T2 PHASER RACK EXTENSION
STUDIO
DUBROOM REVIEW |
| WWW,
November 2014 - The in-program phaser
in Reason is not the DAW's strongest
feature. This very fact has been picked up
by "That Music Company": they
developed a very fine phaser which can be
yours for the price of about 15 euros.
Presenting the T2 Phaser Rack Extension!
For
a DUB engineer, browsing the Rack Extensions
can be, well, time-consuming. After all,
most are aimed at the production of EDM
("Electronic Dance Music") and
will not really add much to the standard
effects and instruments in Reason. Not
so with the T2 Phaser. It's
the second device created by the small Rack
Extension developer "That Music
Company", based
in San Jose (California, USA) and it truly
is an extension to your rack.

REASON
8.0: A Review For The Dub Community
DUBROOM
SOFTWARE REVIEW |
| WWW,
October 16 2014 - It's been close to a
decade since the launch of Reason 3.0 and
the Dubroom's review of the then
groundbreaking, ultra-flexible Dub-friendly
music production software. We've promoted
the software continually ever since it was
established how it was possible to make Dub
using just one program. Just recently,
Reason 8.0 was released and arrived in the
Dubroom not much later. We went in-depth
again, from 3.0 straight to eight and came
back with this review exclusively for the
Dub Community.
Of course,
we don't have to re-establish how it is
possible to make DUB using Reason as a
Stand-Alone Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).
We did that when Reason 3.0 had arrived and
changed the way to produce the music we all
love to produce. It's obvious that
Reason 8.0 enables you to do what version
3.0 offered, and it's obvious that we're a
decade later into the research and
development at the Scandinavian
laboratories.
Just in
case, though. Yes, you can make Dub not just
using just a computer but using just one
program. The name of that program is Reason,
of which version 8.0 was released just two
weeks prior to the publication of this
review.
