This question I've answered like 4 times now.

MUST GO! MUST BUY! When I shipped the CD's to Rayza, where you write the name of the person you are sending it to, I wrote "Mr. Rayza." The UPS guy mistyped it and now it's going to "Mr. Royza." HAHAHAHA Royza. that's awesome. It will still get there, so I didn't correct him. Awesome. Well I have the Reason file on my site in www.supergreenx.com/tutorials.php if you have Reason you can look at it. If you want to email me about it, I can export it to midi and give it to you. I don't have any notation software myself, so I can't make any sheet music.

omg I'm on teh radio!!11

Yeah me too...but if you listen to Aurora it sounds more lika "a boat". Awesomeness.

You can select a bunch of your song, right click, change events, and time stretch a bunch of the midi by a percent. This will sound fine, but everything will be off of the note grid lines, making editing it really irritating and innaccurate. You could just write your whole song, changing the tempo yourself to where it sounds good when you're working on the different sections, and then when you're done editing, time shift the midi. Irritating, but it will get the job done.

It might just be easier to sequence your drums in the track sequencer and not in the redrum's pattern thing. That's how I usually do it anyway. It will keep things simpler.

Yeah just do like 12 steps at the normal 16th note division. Some multiple of 6 should do it.

What are you talking a-boat?

Not really. Reason's sequencer doesn't do time sig changes. You'd pretty much just have to continue sequencing in a set time sig but just keep track in your head where the REAL 6/8 measures would be. Oh be careful: if you bring a 2.5 file into 3.0 and save it (even without any 3.0 exclusive machines in the file), the file won't work on 2.5 Reason anymore.

Errr. Binster's great, but I made the track, not him.

You can't.

Not sure what you mean by 'digital tracks.' You mean like writing out the notes yourself? ACID can do all you mention. Acid comes with effects, you can get plenty of free vst effects online, Acid can run vst instruments (which you can get for free online also), Acid can record audio. Seems like it can do all you need it to (though you might have to grab yourself a bunch of vst's to get there). However, Acid's midi editing isn't too great. It works, just isn't great to work with. If you're looking for other programs that do this stuff check out Project5 (which actually looks and operates somewhat similarly to Acid, so you might like it if that's what you're used to), FLStudio, Abelton Live. Stuff like that might be what you are looking for.

Reason can't record any audio at all. You'd have to use another program and then import the wav as we were saying before. Something like www.goldwave.com Goldwave or Audacity (google it) is free and can do the job, but its much easier to record straight into your sequencer program. Reason may not be for you. Or maybe if you have Acid 5, you can use Acid for that audio stuff and rewire Reason into Acid (that's what I do). Works well.

If you're wanting Reason to act like acid and bring in premade loops and whatnot, then you'll want to use Dr. Rex and load in .rex loops. Dr. Rex only loads the rex files though, so if you wanted to use a library of .wav loops or something, you'd either have to buy ReCycle and convert those loops into rex loops, or load them in nnxt or nn19 as Arcana explained. However, loading them in those will lose their sliced time-stretching abilities.

You need to load samples into the redrum first

Zircon needs more than 100 machines (which happens to me quite often too..congrats to me), but its not like you need to control 100 machines, so I'm not sure what the problem is. We were talking about controlling machines, not having machines.

Maybe if you have both Reason and the demo installed, its screwing up rewire? Whenever I have rewire issues, I just go reinstalling any rewire compatible programs I have until the rewire issue is fixed.

He might have made the song in 3.0 or recently modified it a little bit with 3.0, making it incompatable.

Does anyone play Unreal Championship 2? That game rox sox. And it costs $20.

A way to sorta get around this is to arrange at one tempo, then select the area you want to change tempo, right click, go to change events, then scales the velocity. It makes it tough to go back and edit since note snapping will most likely be off with the new tempo, but it gets the job done. We did Frame of Mind (Beyond Good and Evil) all in Reason and its got tempo changes.

Fucker can't even say "Sadorf" right! Edit: "This is Super Green X... BLAGHGHGHGH" (Gets crushed by garbage compactor in the Death Star in Episode IV) I thought people weren't sounding excited enough so I started screamin'.

Us folks at Otakon called up and left a voice message hope you like it.

Here is how you use favorites: RTFM LOLZ. Actually I haven't used it yet; it was weird and I haven't bothered to find out how to work it. I have made several folder shortcuts in the browser though. That is usefull enough for me.

www.combinatorhq.com has video combinator tutorials. I dunno why they would be needed though...I thought combi's were extremely simple to figure out.

The getting started manual that came with Reason is good. (Does it still come with it? I bought mine back when it was 2.0) I'm thinking about doing some video tutorials for Reason newbs at some point. Not for at least a month though. We shall see.
