ReGroove Groove Mixer - HD Video Lecture | Reason Tutorials: The Ultimate Guide - Video & Sound Editing

[Music]
hi this is stony music producer from New
York City I'm here propellerheads to
introduce to you the new regroup mixer
that's gonna be featured in the reason
version for what is a groove a groove is
the rhythm that you create yourself a
groove is your own feelin a groove
allows you to stay outside of the
sixteenth note realm where you can come
out and you can play with your
velocities you can play with your timing
you can play with your notes you can
play with your time signatures a groove
is your own rhythms regroup here I've
created a drum beat before you can
listen to it it's pretty much of a
straight run sixteenth quantize this is
without any groove applied as you can
hear the changing of the timing with the
hi-hat the groove is applied and it has
more of a human feel and a nice swing to
it we're gonna walk through the regroup
mixer in the transport area we have a
button designated for the regu mixer
click on the button here you have four
banks a through D with eight channels
designated for each Bank this button is
designated to load of group templates
that come with this factory sound Bank a
template contains the timing and
velocity that makes up the groove reason
factory sound banks come with a large
selection of grooving categories such as
MPC grooves live drum grooves and drum
grooves extracted from different vinyl
recordings the fader sets the impact of
the groove templates on your recordings
the shuffle adds and removes shuffle
from the loaded groove template the
slide shifts the timing by ticks letting
you create subtle changes and timing
let's take a look at how all of this
works I have a hi-hat we're going to
assign hi-hat to a one
go to China a one I'm gonna go into my
browser and we're gonna look at some of
the regroup patches that are inside of
this factory sound Bank I'm going to
choose a tambourine because of the
percussion and I'm using the hi-hat
right now so we're gonna go to the swing
Tam let's press play let's see what what
sounds like when you use the fader to
add some impact so the patch that I just
chose we're gonna use a shuffle button
[Music]
then you can automatically hear there's
a change in the timing and then I'm
gonna adjust it to my liking the way
that I see it fit that's pretty cool
I'm gonna go to my kick drum I'm gonna
sign that to a two channel a to go to my
browser and i'm gonna choose something
appropriate for the drum it's to the
kick drum I'm gonna choose something
from the MPC folder I'm going to
actually just get a shuffle groove I'm
gonna add some impact to that shuffle on
the kick you could automatically hear
that there's a change in the rhythm and
the groove but that also changes my
hi-hat now so I'm gonna go back to the
hi-hat I'm gonna take the fader and I'm
gonna bring it down a little bit just to
adjust it just so that it can fit into
the pocket with the kick now
and I'm gonna adjust my shuffle just a
little bit a couple of percentages there
that feels better I've just demonstrated
the regrowth mixer as you can see it was
really easy getting results right away
really quick with the impact of the
fader and with using the shuffle knob I
was able to see results from my high
hats and my kicks right away and only
weary groove I was able to do that in
that fast time in fashion and I get
results like that from reason for these
reasons busy busy busy
