Automation is a great way to add interest and variety to your Reason tracks. It can be used to create build-ups, breakdowns, or simply to add movement to a static sound. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to use automation in Reason.
First, let’s create a simple synth patch. We’ll use the Subtractor for this example. Create a new Subtractor, and add a sawtooth wave to the oscillators. Add a little bit of resonance, and turn the filter envelope up so it’s a bit more pronounced.
Now let’s add some automation. In the sequencer, create a new track and add a note on the first beat. Then, on the second beat, add a note that’s one octave higher.
Now, select the track with your mouse and press the record button. Then, while the track is playing, turn the filter envelope up and down. You should see the automation lane appear in the track.
Now, when you play back the track, you’ll hear the filter envelope move up and down, adding interest to the sound.
You can use automation to control any parameter in Reason. So experiment and see what you can come up with!
