i usually learn a lot by recreating other beats, usually sampled, but im trying to recreate beats with synths in them. i was going to try and recreate " bring it back " by jae millz, produced by Ron Browz. i have reason, but i've been wonderin what would you suggest I do to recreate it? I'm really not looking for an easy way out because then I wouldn't learn but I'm mainly looking for some tips on what you do to recreate synth sounds in malstorm or maybe u use something else in reason. im wondering what you guys do during this process.
 
Check into some books on synthesis. Or use google to find some tutorials. It will help to understand exactly how it all works.
 
thanks for replying, im eager to learn so ill read up on it some more. if you really read a lot about it though, would u be able to make any sound that ur thinking of?
 
Ayo, there's another thread about this same exact subject just down the page; there are some great website and book recommendations in it.

And yes, you can create pretty much any sound possible; it's called sound synthesis.

I always drop these two, since they'll get you pretty far, at least with substractive synthesis...

These are great learning resources posted by Krushing.

My advice, start by learning about subtractive synthesis first. This is what synthesisers as we know them evolved from.

Learn about basic waveforms, about the different functions on Reason's Subtractor synth. Load up a soundbank patch and just play with the various knobs and sliders and LISTEN to what happens to the sound.
