Hello everyone... I'm 19 and a bass player and have been playing bass for 3 years now I also play guitar and have recently got into piano.
While no master I consider myself a competent player and am always looking for ways to broaden my... musical horizon; I guess that'd be the best way to explain it.

Where I'm getting at is

I recently picked up Reason & an M-Audio Axiom 61 Key.
The program loaded with the default samples and thousands more.

What programs do you use?
Anything in particular I should know about writing this type of music?
What are some tricks with reason in order to get more control from my sound?
(It's supposed customization was the reason why I got it)

I listen to these remixes and I could go on about the level of depth involved in the pieces.

I just need tips on how to work Reason or what else should I get.

Cause remixes would be fun to do at some point but im mainly looking to compose original work.
Something along the lines of Ambient/Breakbeat/Chill-Out

So if you read this and have the time to post a response advice or otherwise id be grateful.

We've got an entire subforum dedicated to helping people learn/refine/expand their musical writing and remixing skills, including a sub-subforum for Reason.

You'll probably find a lot of helpful information there.
