Good shit! I definitely think Reason can generate some great loops given some tweaking and a few good sound banks. A friend of mine that produces locally is way more a Cubase fan than Reason, but, I guess, using both is the best way to go. I really need to get a midi adapter for my synth and start using it. I am clueless about that machine though. Trying to take it one step at a time.

The program doesn't make the tracks. You do.

Which plug-ins for Reason do you guys like best? My friends have been getting some new plug-ins that are supposed to be pretty awesome, with multiple sound ranges playing at once. I played with them for a few minutes, but haven't loaded them yet.

There are no plugins for Reason.

Ok. Devices. Which synths, etc. And I know I make the track, but I use Reason to facilitate that. I guess I will have to be more precise.

Just do a search man, it's all been covered, and there's stickies in the production forum with tons of advice to get you started. If you have little money, get Reason, if you get Cubase you will have to buy the vst's to get some funk going, and they are not inexpensive, thought there are some free ones available.

I'll check it out. I already have Reason and think I'm getting close to having a track or two done, but I won't know til I hear the complete sequence. I will probably be able to get a fairly full version of Cubase soon. I have a basic version, but my friend in Kuwait is coming back soon and has Cubase with a shit ton of plug-ins. They are referred to as plug-ins for Cubase, right?

Originally posted by Nell ok i'll explain again. if YOUR track appears on compilations, is used in an advert or something in a similar form, YOU will as the producer be entitle to a share of profits made from sales etc. normally only a small % BUT if the Cd comp sells well or you get on several CD comps it adds up to a half decent amount! Also remember, when your track is signed by a label, it might not a be a one off fee, they might have something in the contract which says you will recieve a % of the sales (this is a royalty) so if the single continues to sell (even over a 5 year perdio) you will still keep getting money. The overall point being that you can obtain more money overall from these little extra's than from the small lump sum of cash you get for the initial signing of the track. Radio plays are tracked (national radio stations at least, not shitty internet streams) and artists will recieve money if theyre track is played etc etc. BUT if you track is played in a club, you are entitle to nothing!!! why? because the club owner is paying for a specific music license that allows them to play the stuff. These licesnces also extended to radio stations. Radio 1 hold a (i forget name right now) license which enables them to play FULL RELEASES, WHITELABELS, BOOTLEGS on air. Not every station has this right. And no, there are no specific licenses to particular labels. so EDM gets jackshit overall.

yeah cheers i understood now
