Advanced Songwriter Chords in Beatmaking

My first target always was harmony and still till day classical and jazz pop , maybe a new piano roll generation need more of this .Playing piano both classical and jazz ,dont have time to learn new So called updete Reason 13,better sitdown and learn more improvising and voice leading like phrigian dominant or some sharp 11 with flat 13 or lydian sharp eleven

Thanks Ryan for another fab video!...I'm a huge fan of Olivia Broadfield so this was a special treat - thank you!

This is exactly what I need. Thank you!🙏🏻

ok, going to get chords finally. btw, is it only me who's missing Ryan's banjo?

scales and chords is such a fun player.

THIS (among so many other things) is what makes Reason the best music making software. with the right sounds (which Reason has plenty of) and programming the players you can command the Reason rack like a band and make yourself a world class producer. Literally

Chord inversions with cv routing information. Nice job as usual Ryan

🤯

I learned what Chords sounded good about 14 years ago, in Reason by spending hours drawing in Midi notes, You dont need to know any theory all You need is to have the ability to hear when things are in key. Music theory is cool but I would never sit down and make chord progressions buy looking at chord sets on paper.

I'll be a Reason fan for life. The 13 update to me has been incredible and having spent over a month with it now, its the best Reason has felt in years.

Wow I remember Olivia's video about the old Reason. Really inspired me

Fmaj9 for reference

I have been making my own sequences this month. I find it interesting what I am into at the moment. And that might change a year from now. I love the fact I can make my own presets.

I am pretty new to reason as I could never afford to buy it but now with the reason plus I have got it. People seem to hate subscriptions but it allows poor people to get high end software to use. I love using reason as a plug in in studio one. My songwriting skills are very limited but using the tools in Reason allows me to cheat.

Love this format for videos. Getting technique through conversation and example, then applying it into a workable solution. Great job on this!

The beat with the 1st bass line reminded me of Mike Oldflied. I wonder what Mike would make of this :)

Ryan the goat!

reason is not it. The workflow is trash and to clunky

The scales & chord player is cheating. Get good at your music theory. Learn how to do it, this will never work perfectly.

Lovely that you guys done that with Reason 12, and did not allow a Reason 11 Suite update to allow those. You guys got all your money for these advertisments from people who paid for versions of Reason below 12. Stop being assholes. Those that paid for Reason 11 Suite have very valid claims that you sold them an old product.

Great video, really showcases how a bit of simple yet well thought decision making can make an impact to your music

Ask her why she hasn't upgraded to R13, please :)
Great video, BTW! Olivia's awesome!!! <3

Why did you decide to use the Channel EQ rack device and not just the mixer channel eq?

Unbelievable! Shall we be friends?

A beautiful explanation by Olivia to her thinking on chord structure, loved it.

Wow I wondered what happened to her as she was part of the old reason community.

Thank you, Ryan! Your tutorials are always the GOAT and make me run into Reason and experiment. Thanks to Olivia too ❤🎉

Why 500 dollars for a daw? For such workflow. So expensive for indian buyers.. are you guys only thinking of your country only? .. think of every country in the world.. and the prize model..can you fit the needs of that particular country music . I wanted to buy reason but its to expensive for me.. and don't ever start a subscription model.

Awesome tricks! Thanks alot :)

My struggle is always taking what Ryan ended up with here — a sonically interesting 8-bar loop — and turning it into a functional song. I know the whole "break it down and build it up" method, which works for club tracks, but all too often I end up coming up with a neat loop that I can't seem to turn into anything more.

Im Sorry I refuse to believe that Reson just hasent made any of the Akai MPC'S avalible on the platform. I'm a Regliously Loyal Member of the Reason Community. I love the DAW. I figured that I would buy a MPC because I ams a natural Beatmaker at heart. So needless to say I bought an Akai MPC one +. at the time Reason 12 was the newest version avalible. I knew that Reason 13 would soon be avalible. But to no availe Still No MPC Support. Reason PLEASE and any of my Breatheron that shares my frustration. Reason Propellerhead Please give us support for the MPC's .... Thank You.

no offense to Olivia or anything but why are you calling the broadfieldian chords? she didn't invent them. I've been playing these chords for 35 years. Among millions of other musicians who have been playing them for as long as they have as well.

How would I CV root the Bass generator when I use Reason as a rack in Ableton? I'd love to have a chord channel in Ableton control the bass generator that is on another channel. Basicaly, have 2 different rack extension communicate with each other via CV.

Thanks for doing these videos. Really helpful!

Awesome

They stopped responding to my ticket because I am eligible for a free upgrade. How shitty of a company 😂 haven’t heard from them since June 24th

Love it ❤❤❤🔥💯

ah i was following along perfectly until the drums were pulled out of thin air. haha. guess its not really about copying it, but rather learning the process and seeing what's possible. these chords sound great!

She thinks like I do with regard to chords. I am a piano player and guitarist and my use of triads has always included some sort of enhancement note(s) within the whole key. Piano is so cool to do this kind of stuff with. On guitar some of the notes I try to add stretch my fingers pretty far. Excellent video.

This is easily one of my favorite videos. I love Olivia's approach to chord phrasing. Thanks for putting this together!
