I was just listening to some tracks over at the Propellerhead Music Forum.
Some tracks lacked a cohesive “vibe” to them. This often happens when using REX loops.
A loop is a recording of a performance. Depending on how a player plays, what the sequencer was set to, bad editing, or anything in between, the vibe can be very different from what you might get when quantizing. Let’s not go into the quantizing debates. 
If you have a loop with it’s feel kicking away in your track and then you sequence along with it, you may notice that the feel/vibe isn’t there. Quantizing may not fix it as the vibe in the loop may not be quantized. Playing it over and over until you get it right may not be helping. What to do? Groove Quantize!

Alright… Since the the release of AGZ’s “Toys Breaking” Sample set I have noticed a gaggle of folks requesting organized REX file versions of some of the samples. Knowing Jon, like me has little time to spend on such things… especially for the $5.00 he asks for the set I figured I would give a easy to follow 4 step guide to using Propellerheads Recycle 2.1 to create your own REX files from the samples you find most deserving of the transformation. I swear its really easy!

As you may know, Protools has the capability to “rewire” additional software to work within the ProTools environment. It is a very useful feature, that can streamline workflow so you are not constantly switching hosts, use additional effects not normally available in ProTools, or to create an advanced guide track such as a beat created in Reason.
ProTools LE comes bundled with Reason Adapted for Digidesign. A stripped down version of Reason, limiting to only one of each effect or instrument rack. Using Reason with ProTools via Rewire is very easy to do. (more…)

Alright, I have been slacking so this week I am going to give a little bit of an overview on Reason 3.0…. I know, its nothing new, but i figured i would run through a series of quick tutorials of the functions of everything in Reason. alright, lets begin.
Reason is in itself very simple….so easy a caveman could use it :P
It is a collection of synths, drum machines, effects, sequencers and a few other goodies… the difference here though is that unlike in realty, you can duplicate your items as many times as you would like (think of a sampler or drum machine crossed with a rabbit!) and use them in any kind of chain you would like… making the possibilities limitless.
I will discuss the ReDrum module this week.
