Change velocity on multiple notes quickly

[Skeebs]

Hi there, I am novice using Reason 12 and have written a full song. However, the drums are too prominent and I'm trying to improve that by reducing the velocity of the notes. I want to do the entire length of the song and then raise the occasional crash or ride. Is there a way of doing this without highlighting each note and changing the velocity amount?

Hello and welcome on board! You can select all your notes, hit F8 on your keyboard, and on the Tool Window that appears you'll see a tab titled Note Velocity. You can use the note velocity tools on there to change the velocity of all selected notes by or to a given value, scale them, or randomize them to your taste.

Yet another situation where Delta comes to the rescue. It's truly a Swiss Army Knife for Reason.

Depends how your song is structured, and where the samples are being triggered from. There are multiple ways to change the velocity. If you select all the notes you want to change like the kick lane for example, you can simple decrease the velocity from the sequencer or press F8 for other more advanced velocity changes.

If your drums are too prominent then they could probably do with being mixed again in all honesty. Changing the velocity would be the hard route to mix drums, but if the velocity isn't to your liking to begin with it would be best to look at that before mixing again, you will most likely have to mix again if you change the velocity.
