anyone instruct me how to produce that loud snare with echo on reason? the snares i have with reason are very short and not atmospheric at all. or if anyone can send me few instruments like that i would appreciate it.

Layering of snares, timestretching if need be, reverb...

Try making an effects chain of delay, reverb, compression, and then running it through that Scream distortion thing on a subtle setting... the tape emulation perhaps.. been a while since I used Reason. The compression is important since it brings up the reverb tail in the mix. Also, there are tons of snare samples on the net if you look, get on your file-sharing program of choice and search for drum samples.

route your snare into a spider audio merger/splitter, send one clean signal to the mixer and one through an advanced reverb wich then goes into the mixer (one clean signal on the mixer an one with verb in the mixer.) do this with delay also if you want but i like to use either the echo or mutitap settings in the reverb that gives you a fat verby delayness without the added channel.

^ that will give your snare the verb and delay you want but also gives you the snap and precence in the snare needed to keep it form drowning in the mix to much.

mmmmm...nice tip!!

OK you should probably listen to the people who actually use Reason rather than me; I've messed with the 2.5 demo a few times but that's it.

wicked help there. more beats coming sooon from the looks of things.

layer a good clap and snare with more nice "crackiness". take some time to mix appropriate volumes. send them both to the same mixer channel and drop in a delay 2 or delay bank. put automation on the vol input knob on your delay this way you don't have to do a separate track for your echoed snares or you can bring in just a little echo for taste.
Another decent trick is to use the LFO on the peak controller to cut the volume on a long set delay time on a good reverb. gives the effect of a subtle echo.
