Would a beat pad, reason 4.0, an audio interface and a condenser microphone be best for a home studio?

Wednesday, December 28th, 2011

Question by Rob G: Would a beat pad, reason 4.0, an audio interface and a condenser microphone be best for a home studio?
I am trying to build a home studio. I also have a keyboard and stand, headphones, cable wraps, a micstand and a surge protector I just need a general idea.

If your keyboard is capable of sending midi, then you are set, unless you want some speakers.

You are set with a audio interface, beat pad, and microphone, and reason 4.0, but a good suggestion is running Reason through rewired to another musical program such as Fl Studio. What rewired allows you to do is use the instruments of reason, which are the best i have ever seen, and the sequencer and patterns etc of fl studio. I find the reason 4 musical sequencer and etc hard to record, and set up what you want to do, while fl studio is simple to make beats.

Point: You are set hardware wise if the keyboard is midi, unless you want a mixer which i find no use for.

Reason 4 & FL Studio – Liquid Drum & Bass [Occult - True]

Friday, October 14th, 2011

‘Sup! A new one from me. Getting the drums to sound how I want them to, I can now finally start producing properly without mucking about to figure out how to get the right punch out of them. This one’s a bit chilled out, but as I said the drums are stomping pretty hard. Enjoy! Johan.

Fl studio, protools, or Propellerheads Reason 4?

Saturday, April 2nd, 2011

Question by rohr: Fl studio, protools, or Propellerheads Reason 4?
Which one should I get? What are the pros and cons of each?

What would have the best virtual instrument samples, vst plugins and be best with a keyboard? I would be recording and want effects.

Answer by Nicholas
Since I do not know what kind of music you are looking to make, the best general advice I can give is for you to look at what some of your favorite artists/bands/producers are using and go from there. Read some interviews, check out their websites and so on for more information. Do some research and it will pay off later down the line.

If you are looking to use VST plug-ins or want a software package that includes bundled samples, then Pro Tools is out for you (unless, of course you are willing to shell out some extra money for a VST-to-RTAS adapter and some sample discs). However, keep in mind that Pro Tools is a dedicated multi-track digital audio recording program that is the industry standard. If most of your projects are going to involve recording with microphones, then Pro Tools is your best bet for this task. Just know that Pro Tools has the steepest learning curb of the three.

FL Studio is an easy-to-use piece of software that will run VST plug-ins and includes virtual instruments/samples (though, in my opinion, what FL Studio came bundled with were not up to par). I would recommend FL Studio if you are new to music production. However, I have never used FL Studio for audio recording. If you are big on this, looking into it deeper on their website.

As for Reason, if you are looking to do audio recording or must have VST support, then it is not even an option. However, if MIDI sequencing is your thing and you want to work with quality virtual instruments and samples (which are far better that what you will find included with FL Studio), then this might be your best choice.

Let me know how it goes!

How does Reason 4 mastering equipment stack up against recording studio equipment?

Monday, November 15th, 2010

Question by Malon J: How does Reason 4 mastering equipment stack up against recording studio equipment?
I’ve been trying to compare Reason 4 mastering results to those of a mastering studio. If you know of any comparison tests taken, or have experience dealing with both let me know. Thanks.

I don’t have results nor have I used Reason’s mastering suite, but the big answer is that mastering is an art, no equipment can make a person good or bad. Although the quality of the plugins DO help alot, you must know how to use them correctly.

From what I know most mastering studios probably use hardware, which adds that analog feel people so often talk about, however there are alot of great software plugins that recreate this well.

For mastering you basically need a great EQ and compressor, and slightly less important a limiter, the rest is up to you.

Reason has the awesome reviews and ver4 sounds excellent so give the demo a try and compare it to what you normally use. I dont think theres anyway to directly compare a mastering studio to a piece of software, it’s mostly up to the technician using the programs.
