In part 2 of his beat making videos, producer Justen Williams is back to share his music making process when he's got access to his full size AKAI controllers. Much like part one, which if you haven't seen it is worth the watch, Justen uses a keyboard controller and a pad controller to their fullest advantages.
We'll also see how he taps into the music community at Allihoopa to get some stems and samples for his beat. If you make music by clicking with your mouse and wonder what opportunities might await a switch to a controller based workflow, you'll definitely want to check this out.
Reason Lite is available for free with the purchase of the following Akai hardware products:
• MPD218, MPD226, MPD232
• MPK225, MPK249, MPK261

How do I put the 808 Europa patch with the rest of the sounds of the library?
This guy... making a fool out of everyone by being real and pouring his soul into his music.
Respect.
I just ordered my akai midi player and my scarlet solo. Wish me luck y'all
3 month update...how's it working out for you?
@@himdownstairsmusik thanks for checking. It's been good so far. Main thing getting comfortable with your DAW
Bro is lit!
This is dope. It would take me years to learn 😂
Very true, and I thank you, I know,, really is useful helps,, 🔥❤❤❤🔥
IT was good If you showed that you opened a Second Kong for the drumkit after you used a Kong for a Sample
And IS IT the Same way to use the mpd Pad with the mimic Sampler ?
Damn you’re good bruh
RIP Allihoopa
Daaaamn this dude rocks those pads! I don't even like trap, I'm stunned.
check out DJ SMOKEY or SHawty redd
This is really cool, I love watching people own it in reason.
This video always make me wanna make a track... 👍🏽😎
It'd be fun to see someone who really knows how to work the MPC live and Reason and how they use them together. Right now I just record my MPC as audio in.
Love this guy, no unwanted adds, he doesn’t use bad words such a nice person with great knowledge 👏👏
lol
This is why I will ALWAYS use REASON ; )
I'm not a huge fan of Trap Style music but, bravo! Probably the best insight i've ever came across on the internet. Sounds really good.
You showed us why you’re a Reason and Beat God!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
My mouse click tap to tempo game is on point 😂
Dope.. seriously I've been using reason since V1 and I'm so proud of it now. Good work man!
Justen you the man and your creations are fire... MUSIC on dude!!!
Really motivational and informative. Dude killed it!
Very nice! Can you please make some sequencer workflow videos? Hoping the next Reason update has some major improvements to the sequencer, and possibly Blocks 2.0 or a merging of the two that work more intuitively together, maybe right on the timeline without having to go to block mode at all! ☺

This is hand down the best beat making video for Reasons I have seen.
It's The People Like You That Enrich The The Lives Of People Like Us... Great Love And Respect From India...
How can I link up with you and make me some awesome music beats for my songs... Kindly let me know
Why use the mpd when you have the same pads on the keyboard controller?
i wanna see more videos from you you're awesome make more tutorials about reason
This is why I will ALWAYS use a controller.
That was a freakin awesome tutorial! I make different kind of music, but this was really inspirational.
Lowkey this was like the coolest video I’ve come across! Very inspiring
what is the website he go the better days nights sample i cant find it alleyhoopa??
Where can we listen finished songs in these proppellerhead videos. They are very cool.
We trained on REASON back in 2010 and still love the reason software and that's a fact!
If you freeze the video at 2:59, you will see my smily face.
Everything is good, but this woman's voice does not match the music - I hear sing out of tune. This is my personal impression.
same but is good..
True dat. Voice sounds major and the beat minor.
It's what happens when you know nothing about music but dj-ing. Nice tutor though.
you are right
yes the harmony is off and it was super annoying, also the shakers tempo is off he set it to what he feels like not what it is actually but still he is a very nice tutor very entertaining
2 years laters these videos are still useful and relevant in terms of music music making. Come to think of it, I'll need to check up on my boy Justen just to see how he's been. It's been awhile.
Thanks for the amazing video Justen. Is there any reason you're not using the pads on your MPK keyboard controller?
yaa.. I too wanted to Know that..
but I guess ,Because the pads on are mpk are smaller..than mpd.
Sirge Mahender i think they are worse,less responsive etc,but im not sure
@@TomboyVale thank you for confirming this. I'm currently in the process of replacing my mpd226 with an mpk249 and have been scouring the comments for some clarity as to why he didn't use the pads on the 249.
I'm always impressed with the results he gets, and only after watching many videos featuring him, I finally understand a little better how he gets inspired and builds his beats.
But for me, starting with a "mood" sample loop with a rythmic texture that isn't an actually laid down drum beat is crazy weird and not how I go about doing it. But seeing him do it, I think maybe I should try out approaching it how he does
daamn , he is very good .. i admire him
Good stuff Just10 . Reason allows to get ideas out fast.
Why does Justen use two controllers with pads...because of the tapping?
Great Job! Im.back using Reason!! Just upgraded to Reason 10.2. Thanks for the Inspiration!
I need one of these. Well preferably a 49 key rather than just the 25 I have
Breh lol I’m over here bugging… I re-learned Reason and the VST part 🤯 loved the refined search & the preset for the drums 🙌🏾
YES!! I said the same thing. I haven't used Reason in years but this vid got me right back up to speed and eager to get going again.
Wow, amazing! I love following along in others workflows, and the way this video has been put together, so solid! Thanks so much for sharing!
Yes... what u told .. mood will make the best music and .. what we can't imagine... that's Reason software.. I have experience..
Sir.. thanks for.. what you show us.. it's good.. give more updates.. I like To work in Reason software...
Wow wow wow wow let me find out finally somebody that show me how this really works what a beat!!! Much appreciation I'm getting reasons tomorrow that's what I'm talkin about that's what you call a tutorial!!!!!!!
Excellent tutorial
Man your a great inspiration and I’m 47 yrs old. I work with reason 9. I’ve learned so much about the inner workings from you. Keep doing your thing. I’m in Avondale, La.
I tried to load a sample in Redrum ,Redrum disappeared and Dr.Octorex opened . Why did that happen . How can l o it the way you did in the video.
Good looks J. I’m one step closer to making my tracks less “boring”. This video exposed a subtle hint to what I’ll need to add to my production. Gotta get back to my MPK. Warm wishes and be well.
Nice performance 👌🏻 Reason is probably the only daw I haven’t tried out..
I've gone through most DAWs and I've come back to Reason especially now that it supports most features in addition to it's unique strengths.
I used to produced in FL, I just got my MPK61 last week and I'm going to get a freaking Reason. That's the reason to buy a Reason. Propellerhead Im sold take my money 💸😎
Hey man, I need help! I'we got a similar keyboard, it works good but only have question. How did you setted up the drum pads to works well with kong or redrum? Thanks for the help and have a nice day!
@4:53 THIS is usually the trait that separates artist from everyone else. You have to have your thing. When you make music you don't TRY to be like everyone else, you get the mood that YOU FEEL and take it to the next level. I love dudes videos. Real Artist recognize real!
Edit and he's right, it IS the mechanics. Whatever your mechanic is. Some is clicking a mouse on different keys on the screen, some is keyboards, some use different peripherals like the Nanopad 2... Mine happens to be his. i like doing melodies sometimes and smaller things on the keys but USUALLY I need the meat of the track to come out of those pads. It's that "mood" he was talking about. that "feeling" that traps you and takes you to the zone.
guys someone help me out... can you do the same thing with just the 249? i mean it has all the pads, just seeing if it is a waste to buy both these. does the 249 allow you to do that drum note repeat ? cos that shit was dope.
i just asked this question myself, good to see someone else was wondering the same. I have the mpd226 but am considering replacing it with a 249 because it seems to have all the same controls and more. From reviews i've seen, there's nothing on the 226 that's not also on the 249. But i wonder if there's a Reason (get it?) he's using them separately. Would love to know before i buy the 249.
Crazy bro. I wish I could be right there to learn from you. Im using reason as well and axiom 49. I want to get to that point of you just freely being creative with your art. Mmmm, sic!
your a cool DJ
dude looks like kaytranada
For real Reason's saved my life and many others... I'm blessed this is my era, our era. There's No "I", In team!...20/20🏁
AWESOMENESS YEEEEES.....
where can i find that Europa slapper 808 patch?
Greg Mack looked like he programmed it from scratch if I'm not mistaken.
I want it too
Justen has been kind enough to share his patch here: www.propellerheads.se/blog/beatmaking-and-production-with-reason-and-akai-controllers
THANK YOU!!!! :)
i downloaded the patch and its not working?
This guy is amazing. Best tutorials ever and dope beats
Sorry.. Question... AKAI FORCE ???? yes??? Thnx !!
Please, where can i find the MDL-Shaker.wav?
Try searching my computer -> C drive 😏
Geeze I wish I could hang out with you for a couple days. Every few years I try to learn how to do this stuff and then forget it because it's too hard to figure out. This is with the fact that there's nothing I can't figure out. lol
this is amazing... although, just my personal take - but in the original vocal sample she's singing in major, and the brass/synth is in minor, and the clash of the major and minor 3rds rubs me the wrong way. overall this is incredible though.
Man you are a Beaste with this ONE!
I only use the mpk249
Thank for the tutorials we appreciate and need them. I want to know why you reset Redrum and do you have to do that every time you use it.
men you know exactly hat you're doing, makes so much fun watching this!
beast
Love watching this guy produce, he needs a channel. Super refreshing to see these videos be more focused on the actual production and everything as opposed to constantly throwing features in your face.
THXXXXX....
he should add motivational mentor to his resume/CV
Great Video, REASON simplified!
How can I call, text or email you? I have some questions regarding installation
But in the end it's about puttin' that vocal sample in the end you know
It would be great if you could let us know where to find that 'Europa Slapper' preset.

How did he load the brass wav? I didn't see it. Anyone?
🔥He makes me wanna throw my iPad out the window along with iRigs and buy that who Reason Set Up including AKAI💪🏻!🔥
Thank you
Awesome!
Got damn...I had reason lite for a few years and never used it......WELP I think its about time to use it......
Support for MPD 226 is in Reason 9 too?
Well…I THOUGHT I was a music producer…wow
How to set up the controllers for reason? I have a m-audio axiom 61 and it’s not working automatically. Thanks
Very good video, music production. There was only one thing that bothered me about this arrangement: the female voice is singing on a scale with a major third, while it should be minor. generates an interesting strangeness. However, musically it collides with the bass arrangement. Out that little detail, it's the fuck amazing arrangement!
this is so bad ass. I want to do this but to make traditional ska, rocksteady reggae, and northern soul beats/riddims. Do you use NATIVE Kontakt horn session?
This is really helping me start of with the basics of reason beats.
jsus i literally just bought a frickin akai pad controller and keyboard and Reason like 3 mins in...
Hi where have you Got the Akai VIP Combinator from 😊 thanks 👍🏻
I am from India my name is lebat E.J. Sir..whats your full name..???
Damn Justin is too cold with it 🔥🔥🔥
Man, let me buy that Europa Slapper!!!
Would be great to have it for Maschine.
I am really interested in making my own beats!! But I really have no clue on how to work a Keyboard??
Legend. What a intro and a demo
This might have just sold me on the MPK249, great video man
I'm inspired!! thanks for this.
Great teacher..striaght to point..nice. (subscribed)
