Ending the year with Reason

Right now, I'm working a lot with Propellerhead's Reason. It's a great sample and sequence program. It's easy to use and the possibilities for your the music are nearly endless.

Finals week is coming up and I'm using Reason in one of my music tech classes. We have to compose a 2 and half minute song for our final project. While having everything that I normally have oopen on my desktop, and then with Reason, makes my desktop look like a disaster.

It's great to use the combinator feature Reason has to make any sound I want. After about 20 minutes of work with it, I can get some great leads, , or literally anything I can think of. For those who of you who don't know what it is, the name pretty much explains it. It take different virtual instruments, or effects you have selected, and then combines them together to make sweet sounds. I'm not quite sure how to put patches on this thing or I would put up a couple I made.

Everyone should check out my friend's site, free-loops-and-samples.com. He's got some sweet groove.

I work at Capital's fitness center as "the guy who checks your I.D." and I used to sit in a “box office” out in the lobby but now, because something got stolen about a month ago, we've had to sit at a desk in the middle of the walkway. Also, the basketballs are stored inside the office, so whenever someone wants a ball, I have to walk back into the office and get it. Normally the door's opened, but not today, when every five person needs a basketball, and I have to climb over the desk to get to them.
“Well why don’t you get your supervisor?” I have a different supervisor today I can’t find him anyway.

Once I google how to put downloads on the blog I’ll post some of my own patches for you to use. Until then, have a great week.
