I found this video to be exciting and very informative. The instructor is very knowledgable and easy to understand in his delivery of the subject matter. I am a musician that is normally a player, but I would like to take this course for creative reasons!

Hawk great post! It’s funny, you are still getting this same question from your students! Thanks for referring me to your blog. It was great to read Michael’s suggestions, thanks for the paraphrasing. Great tips for future reference.

Comment on Easy Sound Design in Reason by Rich Williams

Great post and overall message – developing your own sound(s) is one of the most important areas any aspiring producer should be working on.

I’ve had success with Reason in the past, although nowadays it’s mainly Native Instruments tools for designing and sculpting sounds, especially Absynth. But there’s definitely still room for Reason.

I like the interface for Reason though I also like Pro Tools Logic as well. But still I think Reason has more benefits and advantages.

I agree with ehawkins, the vast majority of the DJ’s on tour make music using software only. They already have little time to do this because they fly across the globe all week long and have to make their music on laptops, using VSTs and samples.

Too meet the deadlines, (either personal or obligated) they use studio headphones and software to make the music they know people are gonna like and listen too anyway..

So the use of mastering tools like Waves Limiters and Ozone and Maximus (yes it’s up here because I noticed how transparent it stays when maximizing/limiting my house music.)is actually a more common than rare.

Besides at least 60% of the DJ’s/Producers wouldn’t have been able to produce music the same way they do now. Not only because it’s too expensive for a starting 16 year old with talent, but also because the need for portability is higher than ever to be able to collab with others or like I said make music while traveling.
