    Rules That Help Producers

    A couple of weeks ago we did an episode called “Rules That Hurt Producers” where we talked about ten unspoken rules that hurt hip-hop producers. This week the most infamous does a follow up to that episode and show the other side of the coin by talk about ten rules that actually help producers. If you dug the first part of this two-part series, you will dig this one. Big shout-out to our fan who suggested this topic.

    Five Differences Between Reason and Ableton Live

    ReasonTech_02

    Since switching my production from Reason 4.0 over to Ableton Live 8.0 a couple of months ago, I’ve been asked by quite a few people to explain the biggest differences are between the two programs.  As one would expect, there are a lot of technical differences between the two programs–most of which would be too nerdy/technical to write about here–but I would like to speak about the differences between the two programs at a really high level.  My concern is that getting too technical will turn it into something that only few people can understand, so this post will just speak about the pros and cons of each program.

    I would also like to preface this by saying that I am not a master at either program. I’ve been using Reason for seven or eight years, but there were a lot of things I never learned or used in the program.  I’ve only been using Ableton Live for two months, and clearly that is not enough time to master the program either.

    That said, here we go.
