It's been a little while since I have had a play around with Reason, so I thought I'd have a quick browse of YouTube to see if there were any interesting tutorials up since I last looked. With Reason 4.0 out on the streets now, there are a few new tricks to learn, as well as a few new tools to play around with.

This first clip is a useful demonstration on using custom granular audio manipulation in Reason 4.0. Sounds pretty cool to me.

This second clip is a little more details, in a "how to..." sort of way. It is a tutorial on how to import vocals into Reason 4.0 (or even 3.0), using a touch of Eminem's Lose Yourself. You'll also need Recycle 2.0 to make this work. Once you have this trick mastered you'll be creating your own remixes in no time!

You may want to find acapella versions of tracks to make the remix process simpler, but that's a matter of personal choice.
