My case is quite similar to the OP's. I began making tracks on Reason a few weeks ago and most of my attempts are totally weak. My songs are sequenced like a parody movie.

my god, you should be amazing by now.

what i don't get is that i've become progressively worse at music over the last 5 years.

and have made electronic music for like 12 years :(

I use fruity loops and I dont understand why this program is treated like a toy too.

But im gonna give Reason a try.

As far as reason goes I'm fairly knowledgable about:

- Most devices excluding the RPG, Vocoder, matrix and DE-Rex.

- routing cv cables

- mastering

- general other tidbits.

 

I am a hugefan of reason, as it is really the only program I use to compose, but I have to say, you can't really do any kind of final MASTER without an external audio editor. What I do usually is get the song sounding as good as I possibly can within the program, then export each individual track as a .wav, which I then open as a multi-track session in COOL EDIT. Then I do my signature DSP edits, eq where nessissary (which isn't much - I tend to to usually do most of the eqing within Reason), then mix it all down. Then I'll do the final master as best I can.

Your production skills are ace so this sounds like good advice to me.

well fuck you guys, i'm the new afx. no, but seriously me on reason = embarassing awful shit

i'm a fruityloops master at this point but i still can't do shit with reason (although i guess it was about 4 years ago last time i tried).

these days i'll make a decent track every now and then but nowhere near as many as i used to a couple years ago. now i make a lot fewer but they're a lot better.

feels good man

Well you're probably right but you need to experience different things every now and then, especially in music.

Next step for me is that:

I am buying it next week.
