you MUST use recycle to augment Reason. Seriously.
You open up any wav file in recycle, and you can set markers across the wav - for drum loops, you set these markers where the individual drum hits begin (i.e. kick, snare, hats). The places in between the markers are "slices" of the break or other audio file that you've loaded into recycle, and when you save this new sliced-up file as a .rex or .rx2 file, you can load this into Reason via the dr. Rex loop player. the dr rex allows you to tweak the sound in various ways, including overall pitch (without changing the length of the entire loop, as it resamples the individual slices as opposed to the whole), filtering, oscillation / mod effects, pitch bending, etc. (most of the same functions available in the nn19 sampler module). >From here, you can write out unique new bastardizations of the loop in the sequencer window - you click the button that looks like a set of stairs (right next to the Piano Roll button) and it will allow you to view a grid that you can write your slices into. if you use breaks either just for layering or as the sole percussive rhythmic elements in your tunes you're missing out by not using recycle and the dr. rex. :) ~Andy -----Original Message----- From: Biff Jacks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 25, 2003 5:02 AM To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: AMEN I've got sound forge 6 and steinberg wavelab, thats what i use for re-sampling ----- Original Message ----- From: Johnson, Matthew To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Sent: Friday, July 25, 2003 12:24 PM Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: AMEN Thats what I am using too! - along with various wave editing programs etc. ReCylce is pretty handy. It will allow you to load up a wav sample of the amen break, chop it up into its individual 'hits', and then export it into reason in rex format to use in the redrum module etc. That way you can manipulate it and give the amen break your personal touch. -----Original Message----- From: Biff Jacks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 25 July 2003 12:07 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: AMEN I'm using reason 2.5, i do have recycle but ive never used it. thanx for the help people. ----- Original Message ----- From: Johnson, Matthew To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Sent: Friday, July 25, 2003 10:53 AM Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: AMEN Hi, this break has been widely used since the beginning of time, so there will be plenty of samples around. try the Dogs on Acid site for starters, I beleive that houses some amen break concoctions. alternatively, sample one from an exisiting track and cut it up. what are you using to produce? h/w s/w? Do you have Propellerheads ReCycle? sorry if this is no help to you. there are many websites around with the Amen break - its just that I don't have the URLs to hand. -----Original Message----- From: Biff Jacks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 25 July 2003 10:39 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] AMEN has anyone got any amen loops available or can anyone tell me how to make one? would be much appreciated in my new tune! peace. --- Drum&Bass Arena Producers Discussion List http://www.breakbeat.co.uk You are currently subscribed to dnb-prod as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Drum&Bass Arena Producers Discussion List http://www.breakbeat.co.uk You are currently subscribed to dnb-prod as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Drum&Bass Arena Producers Discussion List http://www.breakbeat.co.uk You are currently subscribed to dnb-prod as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Drum&Bass Arena Producers Discussion List http://www.breakbeat.co.uk You are currently subscribed to dnb-prod as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Drum&Bass Arena Producers Discussion List http://www.breakbeat.co.uk You are currently subscribed to dnb-prod as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Drum&Bass Arena Producers Discussion List http://www.breakbeat.co.uk You are currently subscribed to dnb-prod as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
