ReCycle Is Back — And It’s FREE!
Reason Studios resurrects a legend with the return of ReCycle, the iconic sample-slicing tool that helped shape modern electronic music. Over 30 years since its original release, “the sample tool that refuses to die” is now free to download, fully updated, and ready to inspire a whole new generation of producers.
️ What Is ReCycle?
First launched in the late ’90s, ReCycle changed the game by introducing loop-based sample editing that allowed producers to manipulate audio loops without affecting the tempo. It quickly became a go-to for beatmakers, sound designers, and genre pioneers in hip-hop, house, techno, and beyond.
Now updated with:
✅ Apple Silicon support
✅ Windows on ARM compatibility
✅ Improved performance and stability
ReCycle is once again ready to find its place in the hearts (and sessions) of today’s producers.
Join the “ReCycle the Beat” Contest
To celebrate the relaunch, Reason Studios is hosting the ReCycle The Beat challenge — a beat battle that invites producers to flip a provided sample using any production method.
Hosted by: Legendary producer Don Cannon
Prizes & exposure are up for grabs
Open to producers worldwide
Sample and submission details available via Reason Studios website
