Ok so i just got reason and im an avid drum and bass connoisseur and so im really wanting and starting to learn how to semi produce the music..
im so in love with the music.. i figured what a great way to express my love for something.. than to create it.. or at least try...
anyhow, I got Reason 3.0, the only thing im lacking is the manual.. and unfortunatly for me, most of the people i know dont know what Reason is.. more or less how to operate it.
so ive got most of the semi basic concepts down.. just from messing with it.. and ive got a lot of the other things down.. like each of the particular components etc..
now ive got the loop i like.. and my bass line and snare line etc.. but.. and ive got a good sampler.. that i use in conjunction.. and ive got some good samples.. but im so confused on how to record each individual component to the main track.. like i click record.. and it doesnt record.. i mute certain things and try different variations.. to record it.. and i get nothing...
this is in arranged mode not edit mode.. not sure if i understand the total difference.. besides being able to edit each note and other things..
but i just want to get say.. my dr rex to track on the timeline. or perhaps just my redrum to track on there.. that way i can start editing when things come in.. and so fourth.. when things drop..
Now when i hit the to track on the dr:Rex it tracks everything and every component i have.. wether or not its muted etc.. its very odd..
anyways i guess my main question here is.. how do i get each component to record for a set amount of time onto my timeline..
sorry for the newb questions but i guess we all gotta start somewhere.. any help would be greatly appreciated..
