Broooo the Bassline Generator + Mimic Slicer tip was dope. Very cool.

My mind is officially - Thanks for sharing this

21-something years ago a friend invited me to his house to show me "the new ReBirth thingy". it was one of the biggest WOWs of my life. After all these years of exploring Reason far and wide, a video of a minor update to a single device still manages to make me say WOW and I have to force myself to watch the video to the end, because the urge to launch Reason and make music is too strong.

[tinnitusuk]

This is brilliant. Thank you for developing and extending existing devices.

Hopefully Reason Studios lets that Bassist they trapped inside the Player out for a lunch break every now and again!! Thanks Ryan! Awesome guide for the new update!

[synthcreeper]

That fill trick at the end is kind of like performing your own variations, really cool.

YOU ARE CURRENTLY THE ULTIMATE REASON GURU ON REASON TUTORIALS - THANKS DUDE.

This was a masterclass and we got it for free. Small edit OMG, the shifting CV has blown my mind. I can use this to easily create instrument solos.

[PrimaudiaRecord]

The update looks great, as does the video, but it's when you pulled the guitar out that you really grabbed my attention.

[strictlyprohibit]

And this video is so epic on so many levels. The way you explain everything is so precise and your knowledge on reason and music is just so deep and never ending! Talk about experienced!

Even though i "only" use the rack, it is still my favorite VST device... i use it in every song on multiple tracks, for melody ideas as well as actual instruments and effect processing. I have to commend the excellent videos of Ryan. Funny and full of interesting ideas. I have the urge to immediatly get producing right after watching one of these ...

[rjbush]

I'm seriously impressed with BLG. Its genius dropping it on Mimic and a drum loop. Who needs an MPC or Maschine now...

[frankyoualot]

7:03 omgosh, so fun, you're so good at helping us "Have Fun!"

[dustintheblacklight]

Cool device and very inspirational tutorial video, Ryan. I like the way how you promote more devices and not just the Bassline generator.

[jordimoraguesmassanet]

Great video as always, Ryan. I'm not really sold on the players but, man, your presentation is always so inspiring.

[SMEL]

If I had to only choose one daw... Yeap, Reason Studios ❤️

[ragingoracle]

And Ryan explained "Minorness" to a degree! Excellent update.. So good.. So good.. Will add this to the beta testing!!

[courtlaw]

This update is a game changer. I have been using this with the update for a few hours now and revisiting many of my past songs. Thank you Reason Studios!!

[jazzsong]

Awesome, Ryan. You guys are always creating tools in a cool daemonic way. It’s the best way to create music and, above all, to break one’s logic and be able to make new rules 😂💚🔥

[bluesyDude]

I'm so confused. Wonderful video but I'm gonna need to slow this way down and watch a gazillion times. Thanks, Ryan.
