Peachpit Press. Trade Paper. very good. Semester Rental. Making music is made easy with Reason software and this task-based guide! Combining synthesizer, sampler, and sequencer, Reason has put the fun back into creating music--for professional and amateur musicians alike. Popular task-based format makes Reason's wealth of studio tools, virtual instruments, and sequencers instantly accessible. Includes complete coverage of the essential features in Reason. Combining pristine sound quality with a comfortably retro-styled virtual rack (complete with polyphonic synthesizer, mixing consoles, sampler, loop player, and more), Reason software struck a chord with musicians and composers when it was introduced two years ago. Since that time, word has spread, and everyone from bands like Nine Inch Nails and Prodigy to video producers looking to add sound tracks to their projects is singing its praises. Here to get users making music with it fast is the first Visual QuickStart Guide on the topic. Using simple step-by-step instructions peppered with loads of visual aids, this friendly volume will have readers using all of Reason's instruments, loops, effects, mixing capabilities, and drum kits to make fat beats and deep grooves and more in no time. Best of all, it shows them how to put it all together--using each unit's own on-screen front panels (where all sliders, knobs, buttons, and functions mimic their hardware counterpoints)--either as a finished track, or using ReWire with other audio programs--to create a beautiful whole. Joe Lyford is a composer and sound designer with 11 years experience working on sound effects, music, gaming, and cinematic scores. He has six years experience working with Propellerheads' software, first with ReBirth 1.0 in 1997 and with every version of Reason that followed. He started working on video games in 1993 and made the transition from a journalist and live performing guitarist to a digital composer. After leaving Midway last year he's completed two game projects: (more information)
