Reason Electric Bass tutorial with Mocean Worker Video Lecture | Reason Tutorials: The Ultimate Guide - Video & Sound Editing

hey so we're going to talk about the
reason electric bass refill and we're
going to create a real baseline so you
can see how a real world baseline will
work with inside reason what I'm holding
here is to some people a monstrosity but
it's actually for bass players this is a
gorgeous beauty of a bassist this is the
1963 K hollow body that's featured in
the reason electric bass refill and what
I'm going to do is I'm going to show you
how you can create a baseline that
sounds incredibly realistic within
reason using the sounds that are hyper
sampled from this bass so here we go so
let's alright let's play a simple bass
line here on the 63k and it goes a
little something like this alright
sounds nice I'm going to steal this base
now let's play it on the keyboard and
let's just play it first with none of
the articulations which would be what I
show you next
sounds pretty cool sounds very cool but
one of the really cool things about
reason electric bass is the modifier
keys and what I mean by that it's all
the fret noise and glistens and little
picks and articulations and gritty
noises that actually go into making a
real bass line so let me just run
through some of them for you now here
come my favorite ones can't really hear
them these are all the little dirty
pieces and then my favoritest of all the
real modifier keys and what is that
that's this it's a lot of times when
you're playing a bass line you slide
into a note a little bit you know
holding down see and hitting notes is
the effect of a hammer on which would
mean you hit the strings with your left
hand so check it out also very effective
in creating a realistic bass line now
let's record a bass line using the K 63k
electric bass first I'm going to just
record the notes and then I'm going to
put in on another Lane the articulations
so check this out
yeah so now let's record the
articulations for this bass part because
even though it sounds really good and
the bass basically sounds like a real
bass what you want to do is add the
articulations to make it sound more
realistic and make it sound like a human
plated so let's play it now with the
drum beat alright now that sounds that
sounds pretty good
actually I'm really kind of happy with
that but let's even get a little more
detailed let's go into the Edit window
and we'll listen to a three-bar portion
of this piece this is what I want to do
with the modifier key inside of the Edit
window here if you just go in and place
just a little bit before let me make
sure this is there pretty small here but
just a little bit before the notes are
played let's get some glissando in here
now that sounds really good but there's
a problem on the downbeat of bar six
where I have a note and a glissando at
the same time which is physically
impossible so check it out listen to it
sounds kind of awkward but you know what
all I need to do is go like that and
check it out
so there you go realistic bass sounds
inside of reason with the reason
electric bass refill what we've done in
this tutorial is recorded a bassline and
added articulations and then furthermore
done more editing by adding modifier
keys to create a really realistic
sounding bass
