Non binding, non-gospel? Yet the best 808 tutorial in the world Ryan!! You are amazing! Precision 808 booms on fourths and fifths! Who would of thought of that? Genius!
Well thanks for coming by! And hey, if you're interested enough to watch, why not try making a beat. :) There's a link in the descriptions where you can download a trial of Reason and try things out for yourself. /ryan
Even as an FL user (of over 10 years), I'm obligated to tell you that I am super jealous of the Reason Rack and plan on getting Reason+ so I can use it in FL. I even plan on replacing Sakura with FRIKTION.
havent used reason in 8 years or something, and believe it or not I actually remember that patch lol, it was my ''go to'' as well, for crunk beats, yes crunk lol
All thanks! Coming from a user of reason since part 2 the information in this video is golden! Really impressed with the sound quality, and improved user friendly work flow! Reason is truly my favorite DAW!
I really appreciate these tutorials. They are getting better and better, and help pull the curtain back and demystify certain aspects of music making that people generally over complicate. The Cheat Sheets and rack extension tutorials are invaluable, but I think your video on general sound dynamics are also incredibly valuable to hobbyist musicians like myself. In particular, your video on 'levels and clipping'... It was less about techniques & plugins, and more about visualizing whats under the hood. And that visualization really changed the paradigm in which I view/create and understand digital music making. I'd like to see you do a series on general sound dynamic 'fundamentals'... for example, after watching this video you demystified saturation quite a bit! I realize now how poorly I don't quite grasp the fundamentals of Distortion and Saturation... and how that relates to coloring and adding 'warmth'. Is there an opposite to 'warmth'? How do these principles apply to brighter/higher notes & sounds? And how all these principles during the process of music making are relative to what it's being played alongside with. Wishful thinking! Either way, thank you again for the videos! I'm looking forward to more :)
It takes some work but reason is dope. The Bass Guitar patch is one of the best, coming from a bass player. Compress, edit, EQ for you specific feel of course.
That turned out wonderful!! I got mad that I couldn't keep up w you but that's just holding myself to unrealistic standards, I will tell you I learned more from you during this video then I have anywhere else for making 808 Bass, so thank you!!
Clever with the Powerchords and Pitchdive! 😊 I'm still a loyal Reason Fan, with all up and downs around this Product/Company! But i'm still missing the old Logo 😓
That pitch bend was crazy! Im definitely gonna use that in my next beat🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 im glad i re joined the reason community & got a copy of the daw. I like this community better than fl studio 😮💨😁
Awesome video, it taught me a lot of things for production I can apply in the software I already use and made me more familiar with what Reason uniquely has to offer. I look forward to using it more down the road!
I dunno if anyone is still replying to comments in 2021, but I have been following this video step by step and I'm around the 6:05 mark where he's telling us to disable Receive Notes in the Combinator. But my DAW isn't showing ANY devices when I hit Show Devices. Can someone help me out?
I have Reason 9.X and still didn't have the 808 Bass Drum mentioned. I solved it by making sure I had the latest Factory Bank since I've upgraded several times since I bought Reason. So, I downloaded the latest one and replaced the banks and there it was!
basically bro.... learn the basics of waves sine square triangle saw.. learn the parameters of an oscillator adsr. add distortion compression. eq. assign the sound to your keyboard. and finally you have 88 pitches of 808 if layered with A kick drum. or using the adsr, you can add the attack to hit hard and such. this can be done in ANY PROGRAM....
Well informative. I never heard of this DAW until now. My preferred DAW has been Logic Studio 9, Logic Pro X, Ableton Live 9 & 10+ Suite. Nevertheless, thanks for sharing.
I'm generally not too much of a fan of music that uses 808 basses but I'm looking forward to using it on more Neurofunk-style music where I think using kicks partially as basses can be a massive advantage.
I have the kick on the korg drum machine. And in the mixer i have the pulveriser on line1in the mixer and the kick in line 2 just like the tutorial but how come i can only hear the kick and not the pulveriser when i play keys
This doesn't seem to work with Reason as a VST inside Ableton. The MIDI in Ableton just triggers a single Kong kick at the beginning and the Subtractor, but not the kick too, although I might be doing something incorrectly
Hey Scott, I just followed my own tutorial here but in Ableton to check and see if you're right. It worked just fine for me, though. So it does work in Ableton and the Reason Rack Plugin. There must be something you're doing incorrectly. Are you starting by dragging in a Combinator? Have you turn off the RPG-8's arpeggiator button? I've just saved a Combinator file from the version I did in Ableton for you. You can load this in the Reason Rack and see how mine differs from yours to find your error or you can just start making music with my version. /ryan :) drive.google.com/file/d/1z5A_ayO5j_5ISDw3OPn5FxcIdQrM0uQE/view?usp=sharing
@@ReasonStudios Incredible! Thank you for doing the legwork haha. I have a feeling I may have been doing something wrong. I'll check out your Combinator patch and see how you did it. Reason's 'orders of operation' are still throwing me for a bit of a loop, as in you have to add XYZ device before other XYZ device for them to work, but I'm warming up to it. Also the CV is a bit new for me although I get the concept fully. I requested access to the file- I'll check it out and report back!
@@ReasonStudios Well, your Combinator worked perfectly. I'm not entirely sure why mine wasn't working. I think I may have had a MIDI device at the end that was confusing things. Anyways, seeing how you did it was super helpful! Thank you for the effort and knowledge!
I fucking love this. You guys are stepping it up now. We need more of this. Thank you so much. This is the best one yet. Can you guys make a tutorial showing us how to glide 808s like fl studio? I can do it in reason with the nn-19 and nn-xt gliding up but they don't glide back down as good. Thank you again for this. #ReasonGang
Ryan, the tip about using perfect intervals was awesome!! Loved it. Are the first two perfect 5ths one half-step off? I'm counting 8 not 7. The last one is right. Quick observation. :)
im stuck when i do the bass part right but when i add the kong to and reset it and add the sharp drum on the one pad my bass doesnt play with the pads idk im so confused rn
Hey Anthony: Salute; running into the same problem here in 2019. Also, when I open the Combi programmer, I don’t see any of the devices. Did you by any chance find the solution ? Thanks. -Dave
I can't find the 808 bass drum sample mentioned at 5:34. I'm running Reason 9.2.2 on a mac in the 30 day trial mode. Are these samples not included in the trial?
The Subtractor patch is in the Factory Sound Bank >> Subtractor Patches >> Bass >> Dirty South Sub. The 808 Bass Drum Sharp Attack sample is in the FSB >> Kong Patches >> Kong Sounds & Samples >> 808 Samples >> 808 Bass Drum.
Alternatively, if you click 'Factory Sounds' again after putting Kong in, then search 808 it'll come up. It uses a Kong filter when searching otherwise (since that is the flow of the tutorial).
Bet you everyone gunna start using dirty south sub patch now 😂
Prince Rolland you damn right!! I'm going to copy every step done in this video and save it as a patch!
I'm with you on that one bro
Prince Rolland been using it for years but ppl really sleep on the Thors 808 bd you can achieve all the pitches without going through all of this
+jonblakk73ab true indeed
+jonblakk73ab you gotta teach the people
Non binding, non-gospel? Yet the best 808 tutorial in the world Ryan!! You are amazing! Precision 808 booms on fourths and fifths! Who would of thought of that? Genius!
Never made a beat in my life. Didn't understand one word of this tutorial. Subscribed to channel anyway and now watching all the videos
Well thanks for coming by! And hey, if you're interested enough to watch, why not try making a beat. :) There's a link in the descriptions where you can download a trial of Reason and try things out for yourself. /ryan
Propellerhead dope
Lol
FAT JAXSON same lol i just like watching well made videos
FAT JAXSON me2 bro
I don't care how many times I watched this over the years, it is still one of my favorite reference videos from Reason Studios!!!
Wow, I've been using Reason for years and learned soo much in this video! Please keep the hip-hop tutorials coming
I don't use Reason, but this was a really well made and useful video no matter what DAW.
Never ever!
Yeah I use sonar but its basically just sub-bass with saturation tube doubled with a kick
Don't DAWscriminate
This series is great, really topnotch advice and tricks. This guy should get his own Masterclass!
That "Sharp Attack" loop is in with the 808 stuff from Peff, not the Factory Sounds, if you're looking for it.
Peff's stuff is part of the factory sounds now in Reason 9. /ryan
As it SHOULD be! I'll update eventually...
Glen McQuestion thanks, I was looking so hard for it lol
I can't find this loop. When I search for it, the 808 folders appear but they won't open. They seem to be empty...
Is that he loop that plays at 2 min mark? Cause I got an idea for it
Your the first person that has shown me how to be a better producer, your awesome and i love you for sharing dude.
AMAZING tutorial! One of the most comprehensive tutorials I've seen for anytNice tutorialng. Thanks so much!
For anyone who can't find the 808 kick sample: Click 'Factory Sounds' again, which will clear the search from only looking at Kong tags.
The production value on these videos is incredible! And the information is fantastic too. Thanks for making this!
great tut Ryan!
Can't wait for you to dive into my 808 bass project in the next video! :D
When?!
oh hi
Reason 10 is the best audio software ever...makes me creative
Yehh, if use vst Frutty Loops2.2 plug`ns and generators)))
The only sotware which tops Reason 10 is Reason 11 ^^
Even as an FL user (of over 10 years), I'm obligated to tell you that I am super jealous of the Reason Rack and plan on getting Reason+ so I can use it in FL. I even plan on replacing Sakura with FRIKTION.
havent used reason in 8 years or something, and believe it or not I actually remember that patch lol, it was my ''go to'' as well, for crunk beats, yes crunk lol
Man I was thinking the same thing! That's a very versatile patch!
Bruh…did the SAME THING! lol
Watching this video as I have my Reason on. Following the steps as I watch it and it sounds uuuhhhhhmaaaaazzzinnnnnnggg!
All thanks! Coming from a user of reason since part 2 the information in this video is golden! Really impressed with the sound quality, and improved user friendly work flow! Reason is truly my favorite DAW!
Thank you so much for such high quality teaching videos. I've completely sworn off protools and am 100% reason 9. LOVE THIS SOFTWARE!
You guys always kill these videos man, big ups from Texas!!!
7:09 This man hit tab and I lost my shit, that looks wild.
i'm an FL simpleton
I'm exited for that new 808 tutorial.
I use to only use Reason, but now I only use it for the racks and sounds. Utilizing rewire in Ableton is now my setup. Love both.
yall make me happy. I love Reason. Have a good day.
Great tutorial!, after the many many years of using Reason I am still learning neat little tricks like the RPG thing you showed in this
I still keep coming back to these video's... Such a good resource.

One of the best Reason tutorials, inspired me & made me wanna upgrade from 8 to whatever version this is.
this video is a blessing !! i've been waiting for this for years !!
Awesome. Some serious time has gone into producing this video. Nice work. Thank you for posting!
You don't even have to use Props DAW to benefit from their genius. Great material! Props to the Props!
really impressed with the quality of this video. that format works great
It takes some work but reason is dope. The Bass Guitar patch is one of the best, coming from a bass player. Compress, edit, EQ for you specific feel of course.
Great way to spend a Saturday w/ a cup 'o joe -- great tutorial!

Another awesome tutorial, Ryan! Love these. Thanks! Glad to hear that there's more coming.
That pitch bend was crazy! Im definitely gonna use that in my next beat🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 im glad i re joined the reason community & got a copy of the daw. I like this community better than fl studio 😮💨😁
Glad to have you back!
@@ReasonStudios when are we getting VST 3 SUPPORT??????? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✨🙇🏾♂️🙇🏾♂️🙇🏾♂️🙇🏾♂️
@@ApolloJetsonKND Ey it's here now!
@@Theyseemederp1n really?????! How do you know? They dropped an episode????? Or update????
@@ApolloJetsonKND yeah it was a really recent thing! They have a video out
I've been experimenting & searching for help on 808's lately and I think my answer should lie somewhere in this video, if not part two. Thanks, a lot.
Thank you so much! 🙌🏾👏🏾 been looking for this for so long I didn't know where the PITCH BEND was! Now it's over 🔊🔊🔊
Awesome video, it taught me a lot of things for production I can apply in the software I already use and made me more familiar with what Reason uniquely has to offer. I look forward to using it more down the road!
Awesome tutorial, especially the RPG Gate CV trick to combine the 808 bass notes to the same punchy kick
you guys are stepping up the game and I love it!
I’ve been producing with reason for 15 years and these videos are just fantastic. Reminded me of a lot of things I’ve forgotten about.
One of the best music production video I'v seen thank you:)
in 2018 still here and I have substituted the Kong with a NNXT to make sure the Drum sample follow the pitch, love it!
So much info in so little time, Great video
Awesome video, Ryan!
REASON GANG
Amen player.
Luv u kato
Kato on the track, bitch!
I dunno if anyone is still replying to comments in 2021, but I have been following this video step by step and I'm around the 6:05 mark where he's telling us to disable Receive Notes in the Combinator. But my DAW isn't showing ANY devices when I hit Show Devices. Can someone help me out?
One of the best videos on Reason I have ever seen. Not a gram of fat on this. It'#s perfect, to the point
This video is educational and entertaining at the same time! Great job guys!
This is why I love you guys.
WE NEED AN UPDATED METHOD CUZ THE UNCHECKING RECEIVE NOTES DOES NOT WORK
On point as always, awesome work. Looking forward to the followup video!
Ive nearly done it on my 3rd try 😁 just got to finish the pitch bends and will have a few good technical skills in bass lines 🥳 ty guys 👊
Love your tutorials man. Always learn something!
I have Reason 9.X and still didn't have the 808 Bass Drum mentioned. I solved it by making sure I had the latest Factory Bank since I've upgraded several times since I bought Reason. So, I downloaded the latest one and replaced the banks and there it was!
Very cool tutorial and amazing last song. Thanks.
Oh my goodness I’ve been looking for this for 3 years 😍
I love these tutorials!!!! So happy of these, really, can't get enough! :D
me: put an 808 sample into Ableton's simpler with glide. "yeah that's good enough"
KURU
Abletons build in sample of course ;)
KURU ikr
KURU basically
always make your own 808s
Jake Spellman-Hess if I knew how I would
basically bro.... learn the basics of waves sine square triangle saw.. learn the parameters of an oscillator adsr. add distortion compression. eq. assign the sound to your keyboard. and finally you have 88 pitches of 808 if layered with A kick drum. or using the adsr, you can add the attack to hit hard and such. this can be done in ANY PROGRAM....
I've mistaken the title of the video with Poly 801, which I use with Arpeggiator 1/16 (Reason 7, into Dark Wave).
the beat in the intro was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more dope than the stuff he showed us how to do in the actual video
Esham - Pharmaceuticals. S/O A-Okay!
Well informative. I never heard of this DAW until now. My preferred DAW has been Logic Studio 9, Logic Pro X, Ableton Live 9 & 10+ Suite. Nevertheless, thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Feel free to try out Reason for free if you're curious! www.propellerheads.com/en/reason/tryreason Cheers! /stefan
great, finally reason trap techniques and tutorials lol love it Ryan
I was ass at bass and this has helped tremendously
love the track at the end..
I'm generally not too much of a fan of music that uses 808 basses but I'm looking forward to using it on more Neurofunk-style music where I think using kicks partially as basses can be a massive advantage.
Sure.
Don't think it has been very good in _general_. I'm not saying it's all terrible.
Okay 👌, you've hooked me. Now I definitely go to check myself with Reason
12:59 - 13:01 🔥🔥🔥🔥 goddam i need to hear the finished beat so i can stop replaying those 3 seconds over and over again.
I love how Kay says "I put a kick on top of it and it hits even harder"
I have the kick on the korg drum machine. And in the mixer i have the pulveriser on line1in the mixer and the kick in line 2 just like the tutorial but how come i can only hear the kick and not the pulveriser when i play keys
I make all my beats with Reason. Excellent vid!
Cool Tutorial- 808 techniques are crucial for modern music
Thanks Ryan!! Now you're speaking my language. Can't wait for part 2. #ReasonGang
Amazing music production video tutorial, Sun Tzu quote included! :D
I don't even make music and watch this. So nice.
Your program is amazing
And you videos are intertaining and informative, i do use other programs tho, but you're awsome :D

Great stuff. This is so hard out. I'm too impatient to work like this.

Im a simple beathead, when i read: 808 bass lines, i just click 😎 this erned a SUB!!
Ryan, the tip about using perfect intervals was awesome!! Loved it. Are the first two perfect 5ths one half-step off? I'm counting 8 not 7. The last one is right. Quick observation. :)
Yeah, I'm counting them off as well
Your videos are fantastic!
yeah I've used that dirty sub for years. Great foundation for any sub ideas!
Is the song from this video available for download by any chance?
I used Reason 3, then reason 4 on 2 albums, those guys don't play! amazing product.
im stuck when i do the bass part right but when i add the kong to and reset it and add the sharp drum on the one pad my bass doesnt play with the pads idk im so confused rn
Same here... trying to figure this out. Help Propellerhead. Not using a MIDI currently just using the keyboard.
Hey Anthony:
Salute; running into the same problem here in 2019. Also, when I open the Combi programmer, I don’t see any of the devices.
Did you by any chance find the solution ? Thanks. -Dave
I LOVED THIS!!!! a well earned subscription :)
I miss using Reason, now i have seen this.
Oh my. The times i had Reason 3 and 4.
reason looks amazing
Awesome as always! Thanks.

Alternatively, if you click 'Factory Sounds' again after putting Kong in, then search 808 it'll come up. It uses a Kong filter when searching otherwise (since that is the flow of the tutorial).
FYI C# to F is a minor 6th interval, not a perfect 5th, but it still sounds great.
So this is reason that pitch bend automation is pretty dope
"And I tweaked that sh!t"
Excellent content! Just awesome!!
