Advice

Post by brine » Fri Dec 26, 2008 11:21 am

When making a track on reason 4.0, how do you create your own *.xwv patches so you have an original sound when using things like the malstrom? as im finding it hard to find anything that suits my bass line even after tinkering with it endlessly im never too happy with the end sound

also how do you create that long tone that is used alot in idm when its a prolonged sound kind of like the brain dance compliation used
is it just a single note or a slowed down variation of several notes or chords?

is there a way of feading samples wmv files into other instruments as at the moment iv been putting them into the redrum and them playing with it and i was hoping there would be a easier way, as thats ok but i really wont to be able to put a sound in and use it as the basis of my melody or bass kind of like when amon tobin used that lions roar on his second last album into the bass line as that sounded great

also i picked up a kord nano key controller and got the driver from the site but im still not getting reason to pick it up any advise

also does any one have advise as to posistioning my chords round a beat as i tried to enter the chords and notes i wont on a change every time a bit of percussion hits but it sounds way too cluttered

maybe im not explaining my self very well
i put together a bunch of chords as my starting point
Bbm7, d#m, c#
"
"
g#sus, Bbm7

then i cut it back taking notes out of it and repeat till i build it up to the propper chord and then change to some thing entirely different like

d#m, c#
cm7, bbm7
em7 bbm7
em7 bbm7 c#

and then back to the choped origianl chords to eventualy build back up to the full chords

this is a totaly wattered down idea of a tune but will help put my point across

with these notes and chords how should i posistion them around my beat and percussion do i go for a really minimal point and just put them on a single kick in every four kicks and then change or go for a fuller sound where there a melody throughout?

Just click the floppy disk icon, gives you the option to save it, just rename it and put it where you want?

Use the NNXT, initialise the patch, bring down the programmer on it and there's a folder icon, click that and you can load .wavs into it, aslong as they're 44.1khz 16Bit samples, you're gravy.
