I'm thinking about picking up some legit software. It boils down to reason or cubase...i'm a newbie so i think reason would probably better? Also the rex drum player, can you make your own rex files? i have tons of breaks collected now and i'd like the ability to use them instead of repurchasing them from propellerhead. will i have to buy recycle to be able to cut them up? just curious. |
||||||||
|

|
|
yes you will. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
buy? pah! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you need something called Recycle to create rex files. you can take any sample from rex file and put it into redrum machine for further messing up. i would hit reason, that is easier for a start, it will give you an idea what are you capable of. cubase is not really a sequencer, its rather for audio mastering. |
||||||||

Reason is definately better than Cubase for a beginner IMO. You can make your own .rex files (and it's great to do so), but you need another bit of software from them, "Recycle". Bit harsh, I rekcon it should be bundled myself, but there you go... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eh. if you will buy reason copy and register it, im pretty sure you will get recycle aswell,well maybe for some little monieys. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup,but it takes a lot of time. i still didn't cup up all of my breaks,cos there are a lot of them. i started using rex files a lot nowdays. |
||||||||
|

|
|
well you can always do it manually, but that is time consuming but you can do it with any basic wavform editor.... although some inevitabley will be better than others. |

"buy? pah!" hahahahahahahtr00 dat |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe i'll buy reason outright, and have my buddy buy recycle or split the cost with me...i agree something like that should be included, even if its a lite version or something ya know. Didn't Luke Vibert use reason for one of his recent albums? |
||||||||

i'm only buying b/c whenever i download software like this it never works properly. the only thing i've ever had run properly is traktor and fruity loops, but even fruity loops synths and slicer are just demo's and never save any of the data in my save files |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've heard Vibert used Reason for drums but not the synths. I would think you'd get going faster with Reason. It's basic, but when you reach the limit, you can get Cubase and hook it up via ReWire. By then, I would think you'd have learned enough to tackle Cubase. Good luck on your decision anyways |

thanks for helping out |

i dont like drRex that much, i prefer loading sounds in ReDrum and then putting the hits in through the sequencer like drRex the difference is as far as i can tell you cant alter the volume of each hit in rex, just each sample. drill powers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You can use the velocity bars to alter the volume of each hit in DrRex, like in any of the other modules. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its never made it sound any different for me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, sorry, you need to adjust the velocity controls/knobs on DrRex for it to have any effect. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes you can't do it per hit on the .rex player. its a bit limited in that respect really :-/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Are we talking about the same thing here? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the velocity window on the editing window has no effect on the dr Rex, right? ! ? right!? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok, in lack of words I'll put it in pictures and audio. Below you will see what I meant. the corresponding loop |

adjusting the amp dial affects the controller lane though not the velocity window? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dude, the way your phrasing that almost makes nonsence. If you adjust the amp dial the way vlari has exhibited, then when you are adjusting the velocity indicators in the sequencer window as vlari has exhibited, it will make the note quietest at the lowest point, and loudest at the highest point. If you turn the knob the other way, it does the exact oposit (making the highest point the quietest and vice versa). You can do the same with the redrum player, in the sequencer view like that, only its kinda stupid, because whats the point of using a drum machine layout? (although independant sends for auxiliary channels one and two for your beats is a definately benefit). |

Thanks bro |

LOOK: adjusting the value of the velocity in the velocity window (the red one) makes no difference to the velocity of each individual hit/segment for the Dr .Rex. i am well aware you can do this with the amp dial, but that is slightly limited. with the other units on the rack in Reason, if you adjust the velocity in the velocity window, it affects the value, but for the .rex it does not. here is some proof. the dynamics of bar one are the same as bar two you can hear the proof. are we clear now? |

I can hear that the dynamics are the same, but have you made the velocity affect any of the parameters? If they are all centered/zero'd it's obvious it has no effect. Actually I don't care, if you're satisfied with the way you work, I'm not going to say that you're doing anything wrong. I just wanted to share a trick to ease the process. |

Just got Reason 3... And it's pretty easy to use... there are no limits.... it's pretty instant.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No limits??? I don't see how an instrument joiner and a mastering suite can reduce the limits of Reason... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i meant no limits in the other way.. :D hehe |
||||||||
|

he meant no no limits, so reach for the sky, no valley too deep, no mountain too high. |
