True... I've worked in Reason since it first came out, and with the adding of VST's etc. i feel pretty confident i can do some serious stuff on sound design. That being said, i'm lucky enough that i got a somewhat nice studio which helps and goes a long way BUT it still comes down to the mind behinde the screen. I've seen 14 yrs. old kids doing crazy stuff on crappy equipment.. My favorite synth which helps a lot in my productions is Serum, combined with LFO tools and Infected Mushrooms plugins from Polyverse❤️🙏🏼🔥
God bless your soul to think that talented people can't use any program to make hits. It's a program, not music. I don't use reason but use whatever you want man.
Just take it one day at a time! You honestly can’t rush the process. Sure, you can binge producer information on TH-cam but you can’t binge experience. Stick with it.
To see the diversity in genre, culture, creative process in the Sketches Series definitely shows how NI has its influence on the game. So happy to see the Blap-god Illmind on here doing his thing.
I haven’t seen this yet but I know it’s fire! Respect for !llmind for doing so much for beatmaking community and being an innovator that he is in our industry.
I came across illmind back when i was the biggest justus leauge fanatic. His sample bass shit in the earlly 2ooos was incredible. Shout out to the. North carolina music scene back in the 2000. Best musical era in my life. I started making beats using COOL edit. Old editing program. I use to fuck with. I love that shit. Man illmind is a dope producer insane how he became one of the biggest industry go to. Producers.
Ok, you can see Ilmind is using KOMPLETE NOW as a plugin within Reason. Dope!!!!!!!! Cause I've been a Reason user since 1.0, now on 12 and just got into NI Maschine about two years ago and loving it (got a Maschine Studio Platinum Limited edition).
Yep however you will notice that Illmind dont say or talk about Reason because they are in direct competition with NI Komplete Plugin because of the Reason Rack plugin.
Hopefully ReasonStudios will contact illmind and invite him onto there channel as a feature, would love to see him on a livestream with Ryan Harlin, that would be dope.
@@tizzybeatz3761 Party ReasonStudios fault they need to do more to work with producers like Illmind, hopefully they will expand there affiliate program.
Superb? He did linear timeline editing after converting perfectly usable MIDI composition and made an elementary degree of copy paste edits. I haven't seen a composition made this way in over a decade. Shame on NATIVE INSTRUMENTS
As someone who comes from a totally different angle music wise, I really enjoyed watching this, really informative, and surprisingly similar in method....thank you for this
Cool video and building process. I still prefer the hardware and manual build process of the 2000xl, but cool to see how technology is helping the workflow. Illmind is solid as a producer!!
I have a way to make the kontrol series work in reason...thinking about making a tutorial. Basicly you add the kontrol as a normal midi device,but for the transport it uses mackie protocol,so add a mackie controller and push play on the transport and it will be mapped. Loop won´t work as it sends ´end as a mackie instructies,just click loop in reason to map midi knobs to,click loop on the kontroller and then it will work. You ca go further and add metronome,dub/alt anything you can map is possible to the 8 buttons on top,and leave the knobs with midi cc to map them to a few functions. BuT choosing the kontrol instrument works by choosing instance,but you have to select the track manually. Now one thing,i hope ni and reason studios work together to make the kontrol keyboard fully compatible. The remote protocol dates from reason 2.5...not much people still use the korg kontroller,or the old maudio 25 keyboard...it needs an update,then reason and komplete will be heaven together. Also i can´t wait for maschine to support vst3, running reason instruments,fx,players etc in maschine will be awesome,and save cpu (vst3 sleep feature)
I think I'm getting back into Reason, looks dope. Dropped it for Logic about a decade ago (I think my last was v5), and still got thousands of .rsn files doing nothing.
Yes come back to Reason, 12 is dope HD 4k graphics you can put Reason on a huge wide screan TV looks great. It now has VST3 so all your plugins work great, you can now make your own Combinator with custom face, you can make it look like Minimoog covered in knobs and slidders. Works as a plugin so you can load Reason rack devices into any DAW. I love it.
I really love his work ethic and how he arrives at his sounds and puts them together would have loved to get in on the remix unfortunately I'm in transition until I get my new studio up and going Salute to Illmind.
@@davidtrig he used reason from the beginning. Back when he had an ASR he was using it with Reason. He switched to Pro Tools for a min but he was using Reason back in the day too
Hybrid keys with time based fx is really cpu heavy. If you budget enough money to buy the whole suite kontrol keyboard komplete 13ue, mashine mk3, don’t forget to budget for a massive computer hardware upgrade minimum ssd, nvme preferred, at least 8 core cpu, 32GB ram, basically u need 3k of disposable income.... i no longer have a wife! 🤣
Unless you're running an excessive amout of plugins at once, You do not need all that to run Komplete. I'm using a $600 laptop with 16gb ram and 4 core Ryzen 5 processor and I use Hybrid Keys as well as a bunch other Komplete stuff just fine.
@@AJWise "Hybrid keys with time based fx" Trust me, some of these plugins will take all the power your computer has and then some. He is 100 percent right. As these plugins update and evolve, our hardware must as well.
@@AJWise I run Kontakt rack passing channels to ableton as an instrument rack, the bare minimum of at least 5 sound sources(abbey drum kit, noire piano, hybrid keys, action strings, bass ). noire piano is another hungry one. Especially when BPM sync is on and particles engine is on. Apple Macs are some what better at processing music generally, but latest M1 pro max, need to wait until all vendors catch up to that insane concept of split brain cpu cores dedicated to different types of workloads.

Good session...
I like that He is using My chosen DAW which is Reason.
he is awesome hands down
I love when producers share their methods. It defines the love they truly have for the craft. And this is dope.
God bless his soul he's using reason... you never see people use reason to make hits, and it has some of the baddest synth tones.
Dj Khalil and Dj BattleCat & Dj Babu have all used Reason too.

REASON!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shout out to all the Reason Users!!! Amazing to see Reason on the Native Instruments Channel!! :-)
I love watching producers make beats. I am a super beginner at it, and when I see this it's inspiring but also overwhelming. One day!
Go for it!
Me too bro 💪🏿

It sounds generic

Honestly you cant beat NI for "straight outta' the box" sounds (even the old stuff) for getting right to the business. Thanks for the video.

@@promiseesimorp2519 honestly. I'm not native english and a little drunk, but i love the fact you got it
I love Reason the DAW He is using.
I'm glad he showed how he to format the song as well as how to catch that vibe for the artist. This was extremely helpful.
You mean copy and paste on a timeline haha. Slow
I just picked up that Vapor Gray Komplete Kontrol controller. It looks so cute with my Maschine Studio
reason gang
This is so dope!!! So many gems
Masterclass
Best Video ever!
Native instruments does it again!!
He is one of my favorite producers and I have been into hip hop since the 80s
same... but changed styles... I know he was always good at sound design though... likes creating original music
Really helpful and insightful! Thank you Native and !llmind!🙏🏿🙏🏿

He's an awesome producer! He produced a few tracks for my brother Silent Knight. Btw he's performing at B.A.M (Brooklyn Academy of Music)
illmind da goat

Cant you just put the Kontrol VST in a Combinator then control it from there?
imma collab with illmind one day, speaking it into existence
Or me start small bro
that metronome sounded good on it,
Reggae thingymabob ting sounding.
Most Definitely a good interpretation and illustration of creativity! 👍👍
i love illmind he is dope producer
Cool workflow with bounce in place - keeping things moving forward
So happy to see !ll here 😄
DOPE BTS !LLmind
This video was very fun to watch and good to follow through, hes a good presenter. Im looking forward to see more of these video!
More is on the way 👀
Good presenter? Boring as......
Damn this was awesome. @Ill Mind always has a great workflow and love seeing him basically give a masterclass and using these NI products
Entirely way too slow and archaic methods. Music isn't made like this anymore. Can't believe Native Instruments put this video out.
MPC X and Komplete🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾!
!llmind is one of the 🐐 s
Illmind's beats were soo much better when he used to post on the UGHH Producer Forum around 15/20 years ago
That's your opinion, not everyones fact. This is a demonstration video made to demonstrate Komplete.
NOW or not... I love Hybrid Keys since I've got it.
G.O.A.T 💥💥💥
!llmind put the loop on! 😁👍✌️
!llmind is that 🐐
How do you keep expansion sample instruments on keyboard without tempo changing?
this is gold

I was thinking the same thing! He's been using straight protools last I checked
He switched a couple years ago
@@davidtrig he used reason from the beginning. Back when he had an ASR he was using it with Reason. He switched to Pro Tools for a min but he was using Reason back in the day too
Yep and you should be to.
You're late, he been reason.
Every rapper: "No more of them sci-fi spy movie beats plz."
Illmind: *Nails a sci-fi spy movie beat*
😂 💯
Really useful video. The structure and format of the midi is where I always get stuck
I cant find the studio session video with TOKIMONSTA? where is it?
I just got this...bro killed this video, hope for more. Native should pay the hell out of you $%
I already picked up Kompkete 13 collector’s edition, but if I hadn’t I’d be quite happy with Komplete Now in the meantime

He converted it to audio, so it isn't CPU heavy at all at that point.
