Benjamin Hinz aka Aen aka Dwarfcraft recently released an animated short called Dead Astronaut (https://youtu.be/dcrhKJT7XvY) and is now working on a follow up with another pal of ours, Nick Reinhart.
Through some random experimentation with the Polar Dual Pitch Shifter device, Benjamin came up with a few musical (or should we say noisy) motifs and concepts that served as critical anchor points for the upcoming score. In this video you’ll see how you can use the Polar device to explore, warp, modulate and even wreck your sound to take it in new unexpected directions. As our very own Mattias talked about in one of his own Polar tutorials a few years ago (https://youtu.be/l9Y4cH2Du78?t=265), "accidents often give unexpected and sometimes fantastic results".

We’ve been blown away by how much amazing music you’ve been making with Bassline Generator. So much so that we wanted to share some of it with you. We asked some of our favorite producers to explore the new Bassline Generator and share the results with you. Here’s what they came up with.
MasterVerb contains two different algorithms to generate the dense late reverberation: a hall algorithm and a plate algorithm. Each of these algorithms has independently adjustable size and decay time controls, so they can be morphed across a wide range of characteristics. The hall algorithm is intended for acoustic spaces, e.g. rooms, chambers, studios, halls, while the plate algorithms is for, well, plate reverbs. An early reflection section allows for various early reflection patterns, again with adjustable size. Wet and dry delays allow for pre-delay and other delay effects. Two three-band EQs are provided: the early EQ shapes the overall tonality of the reverb response and the late EQ shapes the frequency dependent decay. On top of that there is a triggered amplitude envelope which can generate gated and reverse reverb effects. So, there is a ton of flexibility here. MasterVerb ships with 60 presets which cover a wide range of reverbs and serve as starting points for further exploration.
Subtitles can be turned on by clicking the CC icon at the bottom of the video.

Reason comes with over 75 included instruments and audio effects to process your sounds in nearly any imaginable way, and even some unimaginable ways too! But what if you have some one-of-a-kind or vintage hardware effect that you’d like to process your Reason tracks through? Round-tripping outside of Reason to color and vibe up your tracks with any outboard hardware can be done in the back of the Rack and with your audio interface. In this quick tip video, house producer Tobtok shows us the workflow he uses for bringing the Reason Rack into his real world rack of hardware and back into Reason.

Since Reason 12’s release we’ve been hard at work addressing some performance and VST issues a small but understandably vocal minority of people were experiencing. While we were at it we added some other improvement and added some new widgets to the new Combinator too!
We asked some of our favorite producers to challenge themselves to create a brand new beat using only the Mimic Creative Sampler in #Reason12. Here’s what they came up with.
