Beef Up Your Reason Sounds Collection

Before anyone starts looking for Torrents, I'd suggest supporting the developers who spend time programming nice sounding patches for your use :)

Now to get on with the post...

Check out Reasonstation. It's an old site meaning it's been around for a while so the wealth of resources is vast as well. And to help you out, check out this link.

http://www.reasonstation.net/refills/browse.php?ft_type=rfl&ft_style=0&am...

Now this will lead you to refill packs you can buy and download to add to your refill collections!

If you are new to Reason, Refills are like zip files in your computer. Refills are merely a container for sounds/patches, that you can use in your Reason devices may it be a sound source or an effect. The onboard Refill that came with Reason are the Factory Sound Bank and the Orkester. Both are very capable to provide inspirational sounds and can last you for years just exploring what you can do with them. But if you find yourself looking for more sounds, then I'd suggest going on a Refill hunt. There are a lot out there that are free and some of the paid ones are also worth the money. Just make sure it fits your sound and you feel inspired listening to them for your own use. 

There are Reason haters and even users who say a track sounds "Reason-y" which I think is because they're so used to hearing sounds from the factory sound bank. It's not a bad thing but perhaps some people just don't tweak anything or try to explore more of the possibilities. For the more adventurous, this is where Refills come in and this is what makes your track indistinguishable from those not made in Reason.

Enjoy the hunt!
