Re: Beat Detection now built in... ?

...and I know WAV files do not carry metadata like that. They do. Reason writes BPM (even if variable) in WAV files, in a unique way that only Reason can read. I heard of other programs doing that, again, in an incompatible way. I’ve experienced beats exported from FL Studio stretching to the best ...

Re: Bounce clips

This has always worked well for me. Unfortunately there’s no equivalent when it comes to REX loops. That is not what was asked, right? Not 100% sure Im understanding - what is the use case where you would have multiple REX clips on one track? Or do you want to export each slice of a single REX loop...

Re: Bounce clips

You can select multiple audio clips and bounce to samples, then select all the samples and right click to export to disk. Should accomplish what you want, IF I'm understanding exactly what you're asking… :) This has always worked well for me. Unfortunately there’s no equivalent when it comes to REX...

Re: Using Reason for keyboard patch programming

I’ve used the same setup as Selig (track/device) for live settings and it works great. As he mentioned, I’ve always setup my controller so that I have buttons for switching to the previous/next track. My setup allowed me to play contiguously without breaks for as long as I wanted a set to be. Reason...

The effects in Reason that you didn’t even know existed!

Great video about (almost) all the distortion effects in Reason.



I for one have always been a huge fan of Kong’s Overdrive/Resonator. I’ve used it to add character to so many things and it almost always makes everything sound better.

Re: Reason still has the "wow" factor ...

His streams have boosted my confidence in making the right choice when I decided to move to Reason as my main DAW. Got a l...

Re: Best Live Workflow For Reason?

I've used Reason in a live setting for a number of years doing realtime finger drumming. I load sets into Combinator templates that are usually either outfitted with NN-XT + FX or Kongs + FX. I like to setup sets that last from 10 to 30 mins and I play through them contiguously. Here's me doing a 4 ...

Re: kong can only loop a sample in ONE NN-Nano?

No you should be able to loop as many samples as you like. What version of Reason are you using? I had similar issue with NN-Nano a few versions back.

Re: Is it possible to do remixes with Reason?

I know Ableton Live excells at that sort of thing where one can import a beat or an Acapella and structure a song around it. I'm talking about a few minutes of sample not just a verse or a loop. I've pretty much missed the last 6 or 7 Reason upgrades and frankly I'm lost and can't seem to find an a...

Re: Reason and Huge Track Counts

I worked out how to avoid the break with podcast editing by cutting to shorter sections and then constant render/bouncing every 5 mins - and then bouncing to the template at the end. A bit annoying and 1999 but works. I too have done a lot of podcast producing and editing in the past and what I fou...
