Trance or Reason?

discover the secrets contained within this eBook and worse still, some people
never get it, no matter how hard they try they just cant get THAT sound.
Why not just buy this eBook and save
yourself a whole lot of time and trouble.
Had enough of working through tutorials that read like Taiwanese
stereo instructions?
The Reason 4 Trance Tutorial will
endeavour at all times to explain concepts of a technical nature in down to
earth layman’s terms without detracting from the science in any way.
Just bought another book on Reason only to find out it is a poor
retread of the manual?
The Reason 4 Trance Tutorial takes a
completely different approach to these kinds of books and focuses on learning
how to use the program to make
the music you want to make
rather than just learning how to use the program.
Fed up with buying books on Reason that promise so called ‘expert’
techniques and end up focusing on obvious basics like how to load and save a
song file?
The Reason 4 Trance Tutorial will
bypass that kind of chaff and get straight to the heart of the subject, like
how to make better music!
Bored of reading articles on Trance production which focus on a
style so outdated (like some ancient 303
This eBook will show you how to get
the sound of modern Trance. E.g. Paul van Dyk, Tiesto, Armin van Burren.
Sound like you?

software and you’re going to be the next big thing, trouble is, you’re finding
it a little more difficult than you thought it would be, now they keep asking
to hear your new tunes, but you’ve got nothing finished or none of its worth
hearing. You have searched every forum and bought every book going but somehow
you cannot get your tunes to sound anything like the pro’s.
Things don’t have to be THAT
difficult. Purchase the Reason 4 Trance Tutorial and cross over into the fast lane.
How about this one...?
You spend weeks searching on Google or in books and magazines for a
Reason Tutorial, finally you find it, begin working through and realize the
author is only telling you what he
did to create his track, he doesn’t
bother to explain why he employed
certain techniques and how you can
use them to better your music. So,
you go around twiddling knobs and increasing faders not having the first clue
what each knob or fader is actually doing. You finish reading and realize that
you are none the wiser; all you know is how to create somebody else’s track!

and evaluates each step along the way making sure the techniques and reasons behind them go straight
into your brain and stay there.

Who will benefit from owning the Reason 4 Trance Tutorial?
People who own Reason and would like to learn how to write Trance
music...
This is without a doubt the eBook for
you. You will learn building blocks that will help you in years to come,
simultaneously exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of Trance music
production while learning the Reason software.
It is pointless lying, this eBook wont
make you a successful Trance producer, no eBook can do that. That is governed
by talent, which cannot be bought. However, the Reason
4 Trance Tutorial will significantly reduce the path towards enlightenment (and
hopefully a record deal). Remember, the faster you learn the rules the faster you can start
breaking them.
Beginners to Reason and/or Trance music production...
This is the ideal quickstart guide
that will take the reader on a journey from beginner to advanced quickly and
easily. Impress your
friends with your production skills and theoretical knowledge, and do it in record time!
Music Technology Students...
You wanted to learn how to make the music
of your wildest dreams, so what better way to do it than enlist in an
educational collage course and get ‘trained properly’. These courses are run by
the government, so they must be packed full of great teachers pushing students
to the highest of highs who will know all about making it in the Trance scene
right? Well...not exactly.
The majority of staff at TTI qualified
with at least collage level music technology and it is the sad truth that in
our experience many music technology courses are at best geared towards rock
and hip-hop musicians. At worst, you will find them understaffed, badly funded
and lacking in direction.
If you are lucky, you might get into
some hardcore Sabine’s formula, but that is about as hardcore as you are going
to get. You see, these kinds of courses work from a curriculum and that
curriculum includes things like, how to use a sequencer, how to timestretch. It doesn’t include the most important thing...how to get GOOD!
If you want to get good and do it quickly while also learning the theory behind
what you are doing, you need the Reason 4 Trance Tutorial.
We are not totally ripping collage
courses here, they are great fun, and they will teach you about meeting
deadlines and making friends, and there is always the competition, competition
is healthy. When you know deep down everyone’s secretly hoping it is they who
come up with the best tunes during the year, you want to make sure you get a
piece of that. Imagine being able to confidently produce competitive Trance
tracks and come in to collage with a CD full of new material to show off to
your peers. Breeze through collage, safe in the knowledge that you probably
know more than half the tutors, and best of all you learned it using a quick
and easy method that you actually enjoyed. The Reason 4 Trance Tutorial is the ultimate
collage companion.
People who own Reason...
Perhaps you own Reason but are not
really into Trance. Perhaps you are interested in another style of music or
maybe you write music for computer games or advertisements. Therefore, you don’t really need to learn about Trance music
right? Wrong! Trance is perhaps the most influential of all electronic
styles, Trance music or a derivative appears in television advertisements,
radio commercials computer games etc. Trance is a massive influence on a
variety of other styles from Hard House to Tech House, Trip Hop to Pop. If producing is your
bag, you will benefit from a working knowledge of Trance music production no
matter your discipline.
!Please note!
This tutorial is specifically designed
for the Reason 4 series of programs, many of the
exercises WILL NOT work with Reason 3. Please take this into account
before purchase. We cannot refund you for… ‘Sorry I thought this was for Reason
3’...If you do not plan to upgrade to Reason 4 anytime soon you can still
purchase the Reason 3 Trance Tutorial here.
