Reason tempo automation

Quick question folks,

Any way of automating the tempo in reason? I basically want
a track's BPM to double at a certain point. I know I could
work around it by simply doubling all note durations (and
measures on effects) prior to the speed change, but this
would cause some problems with some dr.rex breaks I'm using
(no matter how long you spend, you can never double or half
space them exactly right and by their slightly offbeat
nature, the snap to grid is no help).

Any suggestions? I also have Ableton Lives, so if there's
some way of slaving it to the tempo in that then changing
the tempo in live, that's an option.

Many thanks.

If it is running as a slave via ReWire to any host
application it will follow the hosts BPM.

What can you actually do in Reason out of interest? I always
found it a bugger to use.

Loads of stuff...basically pretty much everything other than
tempo automation :P

depends what you want to do ..

it's good - pretty cool to route/patch whatever, stuff. you
can get some pretty sounds ... but it is a tad limiting
compared to some other stuff out there.

reason 2.5 with the audio and cv splitter is definitely the
way to go ..

For sample based loop music there is nothing more stable
though. It is particularly good for percussive work, either
through Dr.Rex, Redrum or the NN-XT sampler.

I think they really need to sort out the compressor
in reason 3. The existing one absolute pony. Also, when you
render to wav, it sounds like a monkey has played with the
EQ settings of the track and it's not like it is when you
play the track within the program.

I agree with ecnadniarb on the percussive front. Dr. Rex
coupled with Recycle is fantastic for drum and bass.

Interesting I've always used Cubase and the editor for
making beats and I just put the old AO DKL vst i on.

I've always been into the idea of using reason since I heard
Squarepusher uses it.

I actually made a suggestion on the propellerhead
suggestions forum about tempo automation because it would be
an excellent thing to have.
