I did the music, sound design, small volume corrections/mixing and voice-over recordings for this documentary.

Larry Klein on using Propellerhead Reason for the production of Walter Becker’s Circus Money
Larry Klein was involved as a producer and songwriter for recording Walter Becker’s Circus Money album. Released back in 2008. And Larry is (or was?) a happy Propellerhead Reason user it seems.
The web needs fluent audio
We treat audio in an old fashioned way. It’s time to innovate!
Recording a voice over in Reason
I’m working on a Dutch documentary doing music, sound design and post-production. The doc needed a few short voice over parts which I recorded yesterday. The voice was delivered by the well experienced Rob Captijn. I recorded him in my home studio.
Complete list of all Beatles anomalies: What Goes On
“Comparing the work of The Beatles to modern music is unfair: The Beatles were innovating, experimenting, and working beyond the limits of the equipment. Equipment that at the time was the best available, but now looks very dated and clumsy. Modern recording technology allows the tiniest anomalous sound to be erased flawlessly, and performances to […]
Gotta love this: home-made 4 hour long documentary about Todd Rundgren
Jason Stuart Kamasz, musician and artist, has made a 4 hour long documentary about Todd Rundgren. The film is an entirely home-made project and a non-profit work.

Dedicated EditorsKeys keyboard for Reason

The keyboard has a professional studio look and will improve the work flow on operating Reason. Instead of clicking through the Reason menus and toolbars it visualises all Key Commands which you […]
The sound of Gravity reminds me of the climax of A Day In The Life by The Beatles
Have you seen the film Gravity yet? Highly recommended! You get a view from space you’ve never seen in a movie before. It’s very much computerised but it looks real. Because of that computerised process there’s a lot of controversial discussion surrounding the movie.
Happy that Pharrell Williams is in tune
I often hate the Autotune effect. Because it is used in such an unoriginal way most of the time. Pharrell Williams though, he just loves the Autotune. Hell he’s even responsible for Propellerhead choosing the name Neptune for their pitch-correction device in Reason. For those who are now left wondering: Neptunes is the moniker under […]
Kill the noise: use an Expander
In general my little helper for solving noise issues is the Expander. And I love using Reason’s build in Expander for that. An Expander works like a “reversed” compressor: instead of limiting the peaks, an Expander will push back the softer sounds and therefore the dynamic range will be expanded. And because of that the […]
