How Is It Done?, Record Midi to audio track from reasons Options

[saxman8837]

I use reason 2.5 as plugin can play in protools 6.4 I would like to record track to track into protools as audio.
I can get play back but nothing records when I enable record on the audio track

I use Windows but I don't think this should make a difference.

Thanks

Using Reason 2.5 you would use either NN-19 or NN-XT (I prefer NN-XT because it will allow the use of soundfonts which are plentiful and usually free), place the midi file in the NN-XT track on the sequencer and assign the correct sample (soundfont if you use them) and listen, tweak to suit yourself then render it to disk using Reason. Bring in the track to ProTools (there may be a better way as I am not the most expert in either of these tools).

Also:
route your protools tracks (those receiving resaon outputs) to some bus outputs. Then assign these busses to some normal track inputs, and record these tracks.

OR, simply select the reason midi track in protools, mute all others, place yr loop markers correctly, then export as an audio mixdown. U can now use the audio version of yr reason track in protools and forget bout this rewire channel.

The advantage of this method comes when the track as a long duration, thus avoiding you to playback the entire track to record it as SOIF said.

In Digital Performer 4.1.x/4.5.x all Reason outputs
(64channels - if I remeber correctly)
are immediately available to chose as inputs for audio tracks in DP.

Place midifiles in the Reason sequender, choose a soundfont.
Assign audio outs from Reason as audio-inputs in DP.
Record enable the audio-tracks in DP.

You should be set to go.

I know this is a little off topic but do the same midi rules for dp apply to audio desk? Garageband lets you play both program audio files at once, but I seem to only be able to add the tracks to audio desk, not able to alter midi files latter. Thanks!

No, audio desk does not work with MIDI; audio oly.

Hi guys, This is not exactly a hardware question. I am extremely new to Mac business and have just got a 17" Powerbook G4 1.67MH. I have worked extensively in PC Audio using Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 and latest sonar versions. Hence I have just bought Logic Express 7 to begin with and perhaps up grade to Pro, once I am comfortable with the software. The first this I would like to learn is "How do you generate your own loops using sounds from the built in sampler Mk .... I have used Akai samples. Will someone help?
