Track Colors

I'm trying to color mixer channels the same that all go to the same bus.
But there are four channels in particular that when I change any of them it changes all four.

Any idea why? They don't all go to the same bus, and I can't see anything else they have in common.

Re: Songwriting with Reason.

And how do I do multiple takes on a track? Lets say I have an audio track and I record 6 measures starting at the beginning of the timeline. Do I just keep that track armed, go to the beginning of the timeline and record that track again? I always assumed that would just overwrite what I already rec...

Re: Songwriting with Reason.

Also, quick question. In Reaper (only bringing that up because I am familiar with it) I can select multiple tracks, then click a spot on the timeline, then hit "s" for split and it cuts all selected tracks at the point I had selected on the timeline. Is there any shortcut like this in Reason, or do ...

Re: Songwriting with Reason.

Ok, thanks for the great replies. Really helpful so far. I didn't know about insert and remove between locators. When you do that, do you have to cut first or it just does it for you? Maybe I was doing it wrong, but I tried selecting multiple tracks and then using the razor tool on the timeline trie...

Songwriting with Reason.

Hello, my name is Wayne. I am using Reason 9.5 and have been a Reason user since 2.5. I mostly use Reason as a sound module, for my keyboard rig. I play at my church about twice a month. And it has been amazing for that. At times I have tried a workstation for this, and other times I have tried othe...

Re: Can someone please create this RE for me? (and maybe others too :-)

It would be cool if you could just assign the foot controller to tap Tempo so that it's always tap Tempo-able at any time Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk I think Remote can do that. Yes, you can use Remote override to do this now. To the main topic, I really would like to see something like a "s...

I think everyone is hoping a new combinator will arrive in v10.
That would be awesome. I'm not getting my hopes up until it happens though.

Can someone please create this RE for me? (and maybe others too :-)

So I use Reason as a live keyboard rig, and have for many years. I've tried Ableton Live and Mainstage, but keep coming back to Reason, for the sounds, and the functionality, and the fact that I can create just about any sound I can imagine in Reason. That being said, Reason isn't really designed fo...

Re: Problems with Kontakt in the Reason Rack

I had no issues when I first installed Kontakt and loaded it into Reason. Then I bought a Scarlett 6i6 and it came with Ableton Live Lite and everyone says it's better for live use, but I have never tried it. So I installed Ableton, and loaded up Kontakt in there, with no issues. But after a week o...

Re: Problems with Kontakt in the Reason Rack

I tried both, playing live and playing back a recorded sequence via the sequencer. The problem didn't go away in either instance. I actually heard back from NI and they recommended I downgrade to an older version of Kontakt, because Reason may not be compatible with 64-bit plugins. Now I've heard f...

Re: Problems with Kontakt in the Reason Rack

Are you playing notes with a keyboard controller, or drawing them in on the piano roll? If you are doing the former, make sure your controller isn't set to the wrong preset. For example, I used to own an M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 controller. It started doing what you described, so I found out that ...

Re: Problems with Kontakt in the Reason Rack

And when I record midi notes I played, it shows that I held the notes out for a full measure, but even during playback they cut off almost instantly. Check your preferences - sounds exactly like you have your controller assigned twice. Make sure there is only one controller assigned to Reason and s...

Re: Reason Pianos vs VST's

I love NI "The Giant" for compressing to get that squashed piano sound that sits great in a mix. And I love NI "The Gentleman" for more intimate piano playing where you really want to hear the nuances. I got both along with other NI Massive, Scarbee and Vintage Organs for only $250 in a package. But...

Re: Problems with Kontakt in the Reason Rack

Just tried using Kontakt with the External Midi instrument device, and it works fine that way.

It's just when I load it into the rack.

And it's just Kontakt.
I loaded Massive into the Rack with no issues at all.

Problems with Kontakt in the Reason Rack

Hello, I wondered if anyone else was having issues with Kontakt in Reason. I had used it for a while after 9.5 came out with no issues. But all of a sudden it sounds strange. Most notes are cut short, and sustain doesn't work at all. But Kontakt in standalone works fine, and in Ableton it works fine...

Re: Whats your Keyboard weapon of choice?

I have used an M-Audio 1st Gen Axiom-61 for more than 12 years or so, and I love the action, and all the controls have been solid as well. Recently my pitch-bend wheel has gone out, to where when it returns to center, the midi cc is not in the center, so it detunes whatever I'm playing. So I've had ...

Re: So what are the first things you did/do with 9.5?

I replaced Radical Piano with NI Kontakt (The Giant) in my live setup.
Happy times!

I've always thought Reason was lacking in the piano area, and then since VST's weren't an option, I was stuck with the aging NNXT pianos and RadPi.
I upgraded from v8 to v9 almost exclusively for this reason.
