Like many people, Justen Williams often finds himself making music on the go. And when he does, he wants to be just as creative and prolific as he is at home. To make that happen, Justen travels with AKAI portable controllers to help his fingers work as fast as his mind thinks in the rush of inspiration.
In this beat making walk-through, Justen shows us how and when he uses each of his controllers and offers a couple tips on making his small controllers work beyond their apparent size and range.

i hate how he never made an actual song off this beat, no matter how old the video gets im always gonna come back to watch this to hear the beat ! such a great beat
He said "Hope you enjoyed, and go make some music", that's right, didn't ask for likes or subscribes. Brilliant video.
George Koukouris - I hate the artists that ask for subscribers. This guy is genuine.
Guys... this is an advert or "infomercial". He doesnt care about subs, he is trying to make his product (Reason) look attractive to you. He says "go make some music" but what he means is "go a purchase my product and use it to make music"
Lebowski69 - That’s just basic business. You didn’t have to explain it. It was implied. What I was trying to say is, he isn’t one of those desperate people that tell you to either sub/spend your money. He does it properly.
I agree. Asking is just sad. Nobody is going to sub just because the video told them to. Show me something interesting/relevant to me and I will sub.
Lebowski69 - Exactly. When people beg it just kinda makes me feel bad for them in a way, but also just repels me. This dude knows how to advertise. I don’t really like the product, but it was interesting to watch.
I can't believe how fast this dude puts something together.
A song for me is a year long project.
lol i know the feeling
Well the video is heavily edited, do not doubt the fact that he put time into that track and than he wasn't slower when he was a beginner. Keep making music
I’ve been a Reason user for years. All the Propellerhead tutorials are awesome and all have a friendly “just do it” feel. THIS one however takes that to another level. This man is so inspiring and smooth with his skills that I literally jumped out of bed and started working on my next film score right after watching this! Beyond awesome!
I have not made beats in 10 years but this has really motivated me to take it up again, am buying a mini in the morning
Never give up making beats. It’s a form of therapy 😁 great videos will always inspire just like this one ✊
One of the best videos I've seen advertising Reason. I love Reason!!
ad for reason, and ad for the controllers
Reason sucks
Fl and Ableton are so much more capable
Redstone Jones you can use reason in FL and ableton.
@@TheGovernanceNavigator I think the opposite is true.
Right, makes me want to switch daws lol I just might, I've always like reason due to being able to turn the rack around but grew up on garageband and logic
Why would this video have any thumbs down??? 😐 It was a excellent lesson and demonstration, with a hot beat! 👏 Guess you can't please everybody.
facts
made me eager to get into it idk what their problem was
How much does reason cost?
Its My Real Opinion ...... you already know why
I gave a thumbs up and i don"t even use or own Reason,
but now i'm eager to get more out of my current controllers and DAW.
At first I was put off a little when he said he's a "music producer" since everyone today call themselves that. Later on I realised this guy really knows his trade. Great video.
SUBBED. Got a MPK Mini about a year ago with intentions to learn and start from scratch... this video has sparked that motive.
Never give up. Im 60 and just ordered the mpd218 and a Novation Launchkey to go with the other stuff I have.
@@doyrayburn2668 Enjoy that Novation brother. Between that and Korg, that's as good as it gets!
I enjoyed this video so much. Thank you!
I don't know anything about music production but watched this whole video because this dude was so dope at explaining the whole thing.
When he breaks the beat and slowly brings it back up... 🔥🔥🔥 dude straight killed it!!
This guy has skills and knowledge...and he has a effective way of demonstrations and articulated in clear manner to grasp the concept...fantastic presentation...bravo bruh..
That beat was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Trash? All I see is the burning trash emoji.
LPD8 - $99, LPK25 - $75. Talent to come up with that track... Priceless.
this is dope. always fun watching someone who is passionate, skilled and humble
Damn, why does this sound like something you’d find in an Apple commercial would play😂😂
Kay Jee bc it can sell millions?
Lol
id say an google commercial
Its in the music theory they chose for this commercial. They chose particular chords to work with those who are looking to be inspired, in order to provide them confidence in their product.
@@Umgijus music is magic
This was so well done and produced. Easily the best video I've seen on this subject. Thanks so much!
Well done really enjoyed. The whole experience, no click bait, advertisement pitch, begging for subs just real raw talent. Flowing like water. Exactly how you sell a product.
Booyah
He motivates me to be create music like Bob Ross motivates me to live.
You mean to make art.
This man inspires me to start painting!
Yea I’m motivated for sure I’m going to find those keys plug in he used and that Ecco plug I I have reason 10
Bro thank you! I just picked up an Akai MPK249 not wireless but you showed me what can be done on much smaller devices. Track was 🔥!
Bro that beat was sooo tough🔥🔥
Brilliant mini tutorial. I learned as I got inspired and blissed out by the music in you. Blessings and many thanks!
That was one of the best music making video that I ever seen so far ! Big up for this guy!! Peace !
Okay, I need the full song!
Really enjoyed this. Great video.
Who cares.
Beats Clout he’s trying to inform the channe-
You know what nevermind
The most beautiful video I have seen on beat making, chord laying and melody writing
I'm simply loving this. Thank you! I've never been motivated like this before to create music.
Came for a tutorial , instead came into a crime scene this guy is killing it 👏
its an actual reference to the drum kit he used Redrum just spell it backwards and you'll know why
You make it look so easy!!!
One of the best beat videos I've seen on youtube. Respect.
I usually don't comment on vids. This was DOPE! Super simple and straight to the point without sidebar conversations. And a dope track to boot.
I bought a Mpk mini long time ago but I haven’t found a way to learn how to use it this is a great intro
My dude winning!! Lets go!
Reason is one of my favourite beat making tools.
This is one of the best HOW TO vids l have seen yet. Makes you understand equipment and process so easily. Will be watching it a lot more thats for sure. Thanks.
What a talented guy! Absolutely in awe of what he did with so little kit.
oh my god im loving the beat... can i find it somewhere to continuously listen to it?
Probably one of the dopest tutorial beats I've ever heard!
WOW! What a demo! This video proves that Reason is such a simple DAW to use. I was searching for a DAW to begin my Production career with and I've just found it. Thanks a bunch.
bro
Love Akai. Love Reason.
Wow, how he made the chords sound so epic with just a few adjustments, added bass, a melody, strings all within a few minutes was incredible. Amazing but a little too fast for us beginners to follow along :)
Justen Williams has a great sound and love his teaching style.
Man, the guy is really good 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Best Music-TH-camr ever. I like this guy. Love to see your Videos. I have so much learned. Thx to U. Now i go - and make some Music 😉
Amazing video, beat was amazing, was jamming to it, thank you for going through this, my Akai Midi Controller comes today in the post and I can't wait to get using it.
Reason has really came a long way, haven’t used it since 3, the akais work well with it also. Inspiring video!
Wow it’s amazing how this mans brain can put all that together... When he got down to the synths i’m just like damn this sounds great and he just kept adding more and more and it sounded even more amazing each time. This beat is dope af and so is that man
OMG!!! I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE WIRELESS! GREAT JOB ON THE DEMONSTRATION
Me neither. And I wonder how does he use two wireless devices... bluetooth?
cool lil vid u put together showing in a simplistic manor the basic functions and benefits of using midi controllers and what they can bring to your production.... being a long time user of soft studios now and the ever increasing variety of equipment to use with them its good to see a vid that for someone starting out to watch and it not be over complicating things and using jargon that may aswell be another language to them..... a good example shown and explained.... nice one
I feel like this is one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. Wow
This video have gave me a lesson and items to start my dream career as a music producer 😎🔥
Darius Cruz So 1 year later, how’s that dream going? Have you stuck with it?
@@doorsnack8454 I think not
I’m just getting stared 😎
5:30 is when the magic starts
Very new to this.. came across this channel when looking for how to use the Akai Mpk mini.. your work is just amazing.. really appreciate the time you took to put this up.
I just bought and will receive the AKAI Controller w/ Reason Lite tomorrow. I'm on my way! Great video. Thanks!
*you didn't ask me to but I SUBSCRIBED!* 🤙🏽
Yooo!!!! dude thats dope damn dope is still an understatement but thats what i know
What a beautiful and clear demo' man. I love the beat.
I am pretty new to music making.. this has sparked confidence in mean as your explanation was clear and to the point. You can very easily get confused with all of different plugins. Thank you!
Smooth
Wait.
You can do REX chunks in Kong like that? :o
This just blew my mind daaaamn
I love the variation in the instruments at the end sooo dope
Dude, hell yes. What an amazing video. Such a sick artist!
Nice tune :)
WOW that was a crazy smooth beat! Where can I buy it lmao
Thank you for posting this important work. I am finally able to understand the new way of writing.
bruhhhhh that was so much fun to watch!!!!! Simply inspiring...
I should have watched this first before my other comment. Looking at my controller in a whole different way
Whatever dude
When he hit that bass I was like OH SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
This dude is the man! Awesome to be behind the scenes like this I dont thinik Ive been so motivated to get that rig till this vid thanks man!
Whoa,I like this video a lot.I'm very happy with it !! Almost got tears in my eyes!!! Opens up new ways for me !!!!
Update: AKAI's promotion to receive a free copy of Reason 11 Lite when you purchase this controller is over! I was so disappointed because they sent me a discount code for the purchase of Ableton Live instead. I already had Ableton Live. What a bummer! I really wanted to start out making beats like Justen, using this controller and software.
Dude you're the man!
Thanks for a great educational video on Reason and controllers! Oh, great composition, too. Like the usage of space when you put in the strings.
I got so hiped with this video! Great production quality!
Where Can I download his finished/sample track ?
Ahh wireless! I need the combination like the usb one I have
your hard work and talents shows thank you for sharing
He's a beast! Wow he made that look so easy. Cool video for sure
Where can i get the music? totally in love with it XD
Yo Brother you be doing that _ _it Mannn lol
Inspiring stuff, those controllers look great to take anywhere, even outside!
Wowser man. This great video. When beat kicks in... sick
Start supporting the newer Arturia controllers Props. Keystep and Beatstep codecs would be great.
I'll second that
Absolutely!
No thanks.
Can You Please Release This Track ?
Seeing this set up makes me want it. Its like all i need for unlimited beats for days plus years!
Such a wavy beat
I need to try Reasons
Johnnie Harris Reason is dope, and I'm a longtime user, but it's not for everybody. It's not as easy as everything else out there, but it will make you a real engineer if you're really into being more than a "plug and play" type. Most people are scared of Reason, but there's no need to be. People just don't want to take the time to learn.
That beat got me like 😭
Wet in the @$$?
Fantastic tried to sort reason out on my laptop to try all this and worked pretty well cheers mate
Everything sounds good, I loved the tutorial, I have the Panda Mini to see this tutorial inspires me to keep learning more ...
i like that bass...
Here's the elephant in the room. Justen is absolutely amazing no matter what controller he's using. It's nice of Reason to share his elite skill set with the masses, Akai like Arturia both have released many products that essentially have no reputation for having a real 1to1 integration with hardly any software daw. Justen is being Justen but there's no mention of any recent developments software wise to support the functionality we're seeing here. Justen knows his stuff but the average consumer needs to know specifics. These controllers aren't new by any means yet these videos will lead some into thinking they are. Both Akai and Reason should have really teamed up on this presentation and explain to the consumer why buying Akai for Reason is the way to go. Again, Justen is a phenomenal talent, but he's not making the millions of dollars from the equipment. He's a skilled musician and skilled Reason user but it's not his job to reassure the consumer base.
This guy is a genius fr fr.
I took it as a colab/ integration video.
Great video! Thanks for sharing your process!
Anyone else watched this dope demonstration over a dozen times like myself? This dude straight killed it...
why not jusrt have an mpk mini?
because this is a commercial advertisement for AKAI.
MPK Mini is a product of AKAI also, it's simply the combination of both in the video
Because the MPKmini is crap. I have one and it doesn't work well with Reason.
Uh, are we talking about Reason, which released version 10 back in October? You know the marketing team are different people from the devs, right?
Raizor
I'm pretty sure the devs are working on improving reason while the sales team simultaneously make these videos.
Anybody figure out a way to fully map old akai APCs to Reason?
did it load up under generic surface ,
in preferances , surfaces
That's why is old. Burn that shit.
Best video ever. Reason and AKAI must hire you for ever. 2 thumbs up!
that beat is sick. good job
