yeah 2.5 is nice, they are actually putting out 3.0 soon as well. You know the tune 5 Miles Out was sequenced with that sequencer and instruments. Imported vocals. Good choice quamb!

ayo JazX
you should do some advanced tutorials for the masses

Dude, I was actually thinking about doing that in Flash with Screenshots, to be honest there ain't much out there on that and I could link up my Loopkit CD for ordering. Hee, hee ;) Almost something like http://www.rexfiles.com

3.0! exciting exciting!
good choice? have been using reason for years jaz.

yeah about 3 years since v1.0 has come out along side with mostly Sound Forge and Roland Hardware and AKAI samplers.

huh? you really do make no sense sometimes jaz...

what you mean, you asked me have I been using this product for years right?

ohhh I see sorry, misunderstood you. You mean you have been using it for years, ok ok. ;)

Thanks, I used your advice and Im working with the main sequencer better now.
I have another question. Whats the best way to import an aif loop and use it in the sequencer like you would in Acid?
or import an aif loop like a violin part and have it play along side your beats in redrum and synths,ect?

I believe you can import a .aif file into ReDrum and sequence it. You will want to mess with the Start and End buttons, so that you can actually control the length of that individual sample, does this make sense?

Or you if that's not working for you, two things: 1. Convert to .wav with a sound editor like Sound Forge or 2. Import directly into a program like ReCycle! and convert to .rex/.rx2 file format and use it in Dr. Rex. ;)

did it work CX?

I havent tried yet but I will soon.
So you can only bring .wavs into recycle? not aifs?
You mentioned that reason can do anything acid can do. Im looking for an easy way to just import loops and arrange them on the main sequencer like acid.
So you think redrum is the best way? BTW, Ive read everything you've said about re-drum triggering samples. Sounds cool.
What about using the NN-19 or NN-XT? Would that work?

Didn't read the whole thread, but to answer your question about Recycle, it can read .wav and .aif files. There might be a few other file formats it will support, but .wav and .aif are the two you'd be dealing with most likely.
Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions. If I can't help, I can probably point you in the right direction at least.

Thanks. Anymore insight on my last question JazX? What about NN-19, etc.
- ********0
The NN-19 also will allow you to import samples, I believe both .aif and for sure .wav but you can also use NN-XT for import .wav files and then triggering those samples using a MIDI keyboard and sequencing them. Know what I mean. Reason is much more powerful and flexible than Acid, although I am sure they have some nice things planned for Acid as well, but it's not a soft synth like Reason is. You can also just use ReDrum to import a .wav/.aif file and then place it along your sequencer somewhere. You can highlight that sample once it shows up on your sequencer and then bump it around in terms of milliseconds. Got me? ;)
