Propellerhead Reason 7

Flying Lotus used to primarily produce with Reason, but later made the move to Ableton Live. It would seem he still uses Reason in some capacity.

When asked what equipment/software Kaskade uses in conjunction with Ableton Live he responded, "Pro Tools and Reason."

Toro y Moi's Chaz uses Reason to record his ideas and tracks. He's a fan of Reason's NN-XT sampler and Thor synth. He recorded his album "Causers of This" almost entirely in Reason, but for later albums uses it as more of a quick way to record ideas, before taking them into a proper studio. Chaz says "I still work within Reason for most tracks, but I'm not interested in maintaining any specific workflow..."

Before making the switch to Ableton Live for producing, Bassnectar was ReWiring Reason into Cubase. He says, "...that was really the breaking point for me, being able to have everything in one piece of software. That’s where I first simplified and felt a lot of liberation by confining myself to that one program. My friends using Logic would always tease me that my stuff was too low-fi, but I just had fun doing it. I loved hitting the tab button all day, looking at the wires shake; it was just inspiring to me, being able to make things quickly manifest."

Deorro posts a photo of him working with Reason's Kong Drum Designer: "About to make a kick with this baby! #propellerhead"

In this interview, Lucky Date talks about using Reason by Propellerhead, starting at 1:01.

When asked what synth he used for the lead sound in his track "Phantom," Fehrplay replies, "For most of the synths in Phantom I used the Thor modulator synth in Reason 5. Love it!"

Sandro Silva's posted a picture to facebook showing Propellerhead Reason 7 with the caption, "....guess what I and Junkie Kid have been working on lately... I have more news for you early next week"

RL Grime announces he uses Reason in [this interview](http://www.liveforthefunk.com/spreads/post/interview-rl-grime/) and it can be seen in this picture shared to his Instagram account.

"I “grew up” with Reason and that probably has a big thing to do with it. Normally I’m not scared of changes but every time I work in fx Cubase I don’t get that certain feeling of playfulness that Reason has."

At 3:08 in the video "In the Studio With Ryan Lewis" he talks about using Reason inside of Pro Tools: "Reason, I don't use for any sequencing. In fact, I don't even know how to use it for sequencing. Thor is the shit. Thor has a whole variety of random people's presets. It's a bunch of fucked up sounds, and very unique stuff outside of the synth section."

In this interview by Propellerhead, KOAN Sound talk about how they approach sound design in Reason: "We use Reason mainly for creating synths and basslines. The Malström synth is used for pretty much every bass sound, and we normally use the different saw and square wave variations. By themselves they’re very chunky waveforms so they provide a great basis for an endless number of sounds. Most of our bass sounds are made by first making a long bass note and giving it some movement so we can later resample it in interesting ways. To get the movement we tend to go crazy with automation and effects until we get a dynamic but clean sound. For example we’ll add an EQ before a Scream 4 in the chain of effects because when you automate the EQ frequency and gain, it combines with the distortion to create really cool movement. Then we’ll usually export and resample the sound. We resample a lot in Reason with the NN-19. It’s an easy way to get a bass sounding really techy. For example when we have a sound we like in the NN-19, we’ll duplicate it then apply different effects to each one, dedicating one to the low end and the other for highs and mids. For example we might add a bandpass filter to one of them and slightly detune it in the sampler so when the bandpass is automated it sweeps through the frequencies and phases them which sounds pretty nice. We could then export this again and repeat if needs be. Also, the notch filter on the NN-19 is awesome and we use it often to give bass more movement. The Scream 4 distortion is probably our favourite thing about Reason. It’s such a versatile tool and can completely mangle sounds whilst keeping them relatively clean. We’ve used it to process snares too. The loud, metallic snares in ‘Meanwhile, In The Future’ were made by putting live snare samples through the Scream 4. It created these huge exaggerated tails which didn’t sound overly distorted."

"I'm bored" DJ Snake on Instagram released a video where benefits Reason 7

This photo from Owl City's Instagram shows some of Reason's built-in synthesizers and modules.

In the picture on Droptek's Facebook, the Reason icon has been renamed "Riddim 7" as a joke. Other photos of Droptek's workstation (such as https://www.facebook.com/droptekofficial/photos/pb.200428406650207.-2207520000.1403889072./784237014936007/?type=3&theater ) also confirm his use of Reason. Given that the humorous rename of Reason included 7 as well as the recency of these photos, it's highly likely that Droptek is using version 7 of Reason.

In the video, and the other videos nanobii shows, he uses Reason 7 for producing.

Who is ready for new Tatanka tracks?! Getting sounds tight for our new album, we are excited to get these new songs out to everybody!

”I use Reason, Protools HD 10, Maschine on a 15? loaded MacBook Pro.”

"We actually worked on a beat together because he makes beats too, so we would nerd out and I would show him stuff on Reason, which is what I use and he starting using that." - via The Urban Daily [interview](http://theurbandaily.com/2014/06/13/producer-week-dj-khalil-dr-dre-pink-kendrick/)

Serj states that he uses Reason at 2:46, when he talks about what DAWs he uses.

At 12:30 in this video, the Propellerhead Reason icon can be seen on one of Sigma's studio computers. It can be assumed this is Reason 7 due to the date of the video.

At 1:22 Stromae talks about using Propeller head's Reason, and throughout the video you can see shots of his screen while he discusses a production of his, and takes you on a tour through Reason.

At 1:40 Cookie Monsta talks about Reason.

This video shows XXYYXX using the DAW Ableton.

love this program. I come from a straight analogue background, so I needed to work with a program that had the functionality and look that was as similar to analogue gear as possible. With the latest version of Reason you have the Rack Extensions, which essentially is Propellerhead’s version of a VST plugin. I love seeing my keyboards in a rack and with this vertical screen I actually feel like it’s a physical rack. The sound quality compares to anything out there. The new mix console looks and emulates an SSL console and now with the new MIDI options you can run, record and mix analogue gear right in Reason.

Coming out of that Drum 'n' Bass DJ world, what was your first production setup like? "Pretty much a computer and a little MIDI keyboard. I was using FruityLoops and the Hammerhead Rhythm Station. and then I got into Reason around the same time. I've been using Reason ever since. This was around 2000 or 1999 maybe. Pretty silly stuff."

Orlando speaks about how he grew using reason, though he also uses Logic to record audio and Live to play his show

"I wrote these songs I produced that I did it all with Reason too, I love it I wear it like a badge of honor" - Niles at :35s. From the date he is probably talking about Reason 7.

Seen on Swimming With Dolphins' Instagram profile, we can see that he uses Propellerhead Reason; "So excited, many thanks to @propellerheadsw !!".

On their FAQ page, at the "Our Music" section, when asked what software they use, they mention, "We use mainly Logic, but we also use Cubase, Reason, and FL Studio..."

In this photo, posted to Vexare's [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Vexare), one can see Propellerhead Reason 7.

You can see Reason being used on Jon's computer at 1:42.

at 3:48 you see boaz van de beatz work with reason 7

In the interview he states "The first album, Full Circle, was made almost completely with Reason and without any live audio." He later states he still uses Reason as it is what he is most comfortable with.

For FACT magazine's 'Against the Clock' series, mndsgn is seen using Propellerhead's Reason (specifically Thor) ReWired into Ableton. Starting at 6:09. The video was published by FACT mag on May 26th 2015.
