Reason Soul School: Using Soul School with Record Video Lecture | Reason Tutorials: The Ultimate Guide - Video & Sound Editing

hello and welcome in this tutorial we'll
take a look at how you can use the
reason soul school refill in record if
you have record and reason you can load
the Rex loops and patches straight into
recent devices like the dr. Rex loop
player just like you would in reason
however if you use records stand alone
you can work with Rex files as audio in
the sequencer which has some advantages
over using dr. Rex let's start with an
empty song document we begin by creating
an audio track
now select import audio file from the
file menu and browse for a Rex loop
let's select a drum loop in the
Cincinnati folder as you can see the
tempo of the Rex loop is indicated here
in the details section to get the best
audio quality when importing the Rex
files to audio tracks and record the
sequencer tempo should match the Rex
loops original tempo we won't go into
details why but it has to do with the
clever way record handles Rex files now
let's select import audio file to open
the browser and load the loop we found
now the Rex loop has been rendered into
an audio clip on the audio track sounds
good
a very nice feature with audio clips and
record is that you can import several
audio files or Rex files to separate
comp rows in the same audio clip you can
then comp the audio clip and have
different segments play different parts
of the imported audio files this gives
you virtually unlimited variation
possibilities let's import another Rex
drum loop to the audio clip that we have
here open the clip by double clicking it
now select import audio file from the
file menu we're looking for a drum
groove similar to the one we already
have in our clip but with a fill okay
let's select this one as you can see the
new Rex loop is imported to a new comp
row in the clip now let's switch to comp
mode in comp mode we can switch between
the two Rex files just by double
clicking and we want the field to be
played here at the end of this part
sounds good let's add a bass track by
importing a couple of bass loops on a
new track and then use the razor tool to
create some variation create a new audio
track then import a bass Rex loop as an
audio file
open the clip and select import audio
file from the file menu and select
another base loop switch to comp mode
and then add some cuts to create a bit
of variation
like so this comping technique can be
used on all Rex loops in the reason soul
school refill this way you can create
really nice variations to your grooves
and also because of the excellent time
stretch and record you can easily change
the tempo of your grooves so that's how
you can work with the reason soul school
refill and record groovy as that
