Micro tutorial 15 - Record for Reason owners: better sequencer; better rack; better creative flow Video Lecture | Reason Tutorials: The Ultimate Guide - Video & Sound Editing

in this video we'll take a look at what
record offers reason users other than
the obvious features like audio
recording the marvelous mixing desk and
the line six amps yes record also brings
heaps of workflow improvements and
features that reason users will
appreciate if you're on a plane on a
boat or just don't have your MIDI
keyboard at hand when inspiration
strikes just hit f4 to bring up the
on-screen piano with this piano you can
trigger MIDI notes with your mouse or
computer keyboard
you
here's a quick MIDI recording we
prepared earlier we want to change the
first hi-hat to a crash cymbal but on
what note is the crash record lets you
audit notes in edit mode so we can
easily find the sound we're looking for
when moving notes like this or when
drawing new ones like this what if we
want to change all the snare sounds in
this beat to a rimshot just select one
of the snare notes right click and
select notes of same pitch to select all
the snare hits and drag them to the rim
shop there it is all these drum notes
are in the same note clip on the same
note Lane if we want to apply a regroup
a CH to the hi-hats
but keep the feel of the rest of the
drums we can select the hi-hat notes
right click and move them to a new note
Lane we can also explode the clip this
lets you split parts into separate lanes
for individual editing or regrew
processing pretty convenient in recent
version for the boundaries between clips
are like the walls of Alcatraz in record
they're more like well they're they're
not really like walls they're more like
a shrubbery no what I really want to say
is that in record you can move notes
between Clips just by dragging them
across the boundaries like so and if you
make your notes longer your clip will
expand with them
and for the old-school crowd out there
just activate keep events and clips from
the options menu to get the clips to
behave like they do in reason and that's
some of the new sequencer features but
we didn't just improve the sequencer
record has multiple racks and you can
drag devices between the racks to keep
your songs organized the rack Navigator
on the right-hand side of the screen
helps you well navigate your rack and if
you click a track in the sequencer the
associated device will scroll into view
and light up so you'll find it easily if
you flip the rack to reveal the back
side and hit the L key to hide cables
you'll see the record shows the
connections for the selected device only
there are a couple of settings for this
in the Preferences if you want to hide
all or only show cables you've routed
manually right clicking a cable
connection and selecting scroll to
connected device will scroll the rack to
the connection on the other end of the
cable and Mark it with a little circle
pretty sweet-looking huh oh and record
is optimized for multiple cores look at
how Josh Mobley's Reason demos on narrow
escape is distributed between the cores
on this Mac Pro as we enable the
multi-core processing
your workflow and record better than
ever
