ok so iv been playing around with the redrum sync(is that what its called?)

and when i find a patch i like and try to load it, in the browser window in breaks the patch down into all its parts and then gives me the option to load each individual part but theres like 15-20 parts and i only have 10 channles


I have no idea what this redrum sync is, but try making combinator patches.

It has a nice sound, but the arrangement at the beginning is too spastic in my opinion. Strangely enough, I have the exact opposite problem with my projects...

That's just called redrum, not "redrum sync". That kinda had me confused. I really don't know what to say about your problem. It would seem like these kits consist of more than 10 hits, which none of the Reason ones do. Is this a kit from somewhere else or one that comes with Reason?

Something you should probably learn: press tab to go to the back of the devices and route each drum output to whatever effects you want. Then send back to the mixer.

ol' great topic..



here's my doubty (as always):



i've always use Acid Pro 6 for doin my songs...

i also got Reason 3.0 but i have never installed it due to disk space and doubts like:



1- is it similar to Acid 6? i mean, can i make songs 'painting' samples?

2- does it support wav files? import, etc




i think thats all 4 the moment



:D

Not in the least. It's an independent virual hardware program. You can load one-shot drum samples, rex'd loops, and use a virtual sampler, but it has no recording, or audio tracks. It's kind of the polar opposite of acid.

so Reason 3 is kind of an advanced Fruity Loops?

No, not really. Acid and Fruityloops are much in the same camp of things these days. Take a look at some screenshots, and you'll probably get the idea. It's like having an unlimited rack of electronic music hardware, basically.

Take a look: http://www.propeller...e=closeupreason



It's my favorite music program, atm. Limited as it may be, I feel most creative with it.



A very good use for you if you already use acid would be to use the two together through ReWire. This basically lets you put all your reason stuff into and acid project.



I'd say the best thing for you to do would probably be to just go ahead and try it.

i apreciate your help man... you fully convince me



and here's another:



what about my more-than-200 vsti's i have (that i use on Fruity)

does Reason 3 support that?

or its so powerful that i dont need add-ons?

No problem at all.



Reason is pretty much comparable to a whole lot of vsts in the first place. No, it doesn't support them, but you can bring Reason into your acid projects to work alongside vstis via ReWire (integrated technology in frutiyloops, acid, ableton, cubase, logic, nuendo, you name it... most major programs).



OH, Reason DOES support ReBirth, the tb-303 emulator also made by propellerheads that's now abandonware that you can legally download for free. Properllerheads also announced a new gigantic semi modular synth called Thor that you can integrate into Reason, but that's about it. There's also some program out there that somehow fools reason into letting you run external audio into it, but I'm not so sure about it as it's 3rd party. Might be worth checking out either way though: http://www.petertools.com/hammer/



I will go ahead and say that I'd rather have Reason standalone than just about any sequencer+vsti combo, though thanks to the miracles of the internet, I don't have to make any sacrifices.

i've been using almost every software out there, and Reason 3.0 + Fruity Loops via ReWire is the best combo out there.



The thing with Fruity Loops is that it's great, it's got VST support, so you can do pretty much everything, but the major suckage appears when you look at the sequencer window (it's just ridiculous how you have to copy the whole pattern 'block' to another channel just to have a slight change in the original loop). Plus - you have to get samples from....i don't know, sample them, have plenty of old records copyright free? Sample packs for fruity loops have been a problem for me for way too long so I switched to Reason 3.0 - you get sample refills with that one.



Where Reason kicks ass are all the synths, and the sequencer window, which is really good. It lacks the waveform representation of the sound, so you could cut it up, just like in cubase, but you can always export the wav's to a soft like cubase or something else to do all the tweaking. Reason doesn't have VST's, so you won't get sophisticated fx.



Hook em up together and you've just got yourself the ultimate producing soft. And you need 2gb of ram and a good soundcard to run it. Have fun...

That's how you have to do it.

Either that or burning them to CD.

At the moment FL Studio is the most intuitve prog. to me. When i got my axiom 49 together with the ableton live lite 5 version it drove me nuts handling it. You've got to know everything or get to know it. Creating a simple beat and at least putting that into the sequencer took me . . .argh don't ask how long. It felt like years!



At the pros out there: do i always have to push the record button for making a sequencer pattern? In FL Studio i simply make a solo pattern first (like this -> http://emusician.com...torial-Fig1.gif ), then i only need to choose the appropriate block which consists of that pattern (like this: -> http://www.audionet....4243/obr1.jpg).

Yo, Foxboy, you gotta be careful when installing software that's gonna work in ReWire. I remember having problems with Cubase+Reason because you have to install them in a particular order. The oldest versions come first. (and if I'm mistaken, do it the other way around). And I don't think you have to burn the ISO's to get the working, but I'd recommend it.



@Csar



No, you don't have to push the record button everytime you want to put some sounds together, that's what the sequencer window is for. The first button on the left in the sequencer window is edit mode, it works just like putting sounds together in Pattern Window in FL. BTW, in ReDrum when you're done making a loop, just righclick on the device and choose 'export to sequencer window'. easy as that.



I still can't figure out Ableton, I know it's good for DJing and whatnot, but I just don't get it, don't know why, don't know how, odd, or I'm just plain stupid.
