Problems Recording W/ Keyboard In Reason Options

[liquidh2o]

I bought a yamaha DGX-500 recently, as well as an emagic mt4 to handle the midi in/out to my mac. Setup was a breeze, and I have reason 2.0 setup right now to where i can actually hear the notes i'm playing on my keyboard through reason.

Problem is, when I go to record a track, and i'm playing notes through the keyboard, reason isn't recording what i play. I've tried going thru the different synthesizers and the same results.

I followed the instructions on the FAQ for Reason for setting up my keyboard to record, and still no luck.

My setup is as follows.

Dual Ghz Mirror Drive power mac
running os 10.2.2
Reason 2.01 (the .01 is the latest update i believe)
Emagic mt4
Yamaha DGX-500

also of note I only have the yamaha DGX-500 setup with only midi out to the mt4, but I believe that's all i should need since i'm not wanting to hear what i play thru the sequencers(in reason) on the keyboard, is this right or am i missing something?

Your help would be greatly appreciated, as all i can do right now is just listen to the pretty sounds my keyboard makes while routed thru the synths and sequencers, talk about frustrating!

Thanks.

That channel thang will getya every time.

I've sometimes pondered on what peculiar kind of logic is required to write computer programs: that someone would invest endless chunks of their life in coding and meticulously designing all manner of bells, whistles, lights, guages, buttons, menus, windows--you name it--only to completely omit ANY visible indication of such a fundamentally crucial part of the operation.

Every time I get close to understanding what kind of mind that takes, it scares me.

Glad you're up and running.

Welcome to my world!

I can that the "bearded syndrom". Computer programmers for the most part have an deficiency in the "Take a step back and look at the whole thing"
In other words, if they were scultors, you would have a huge block of marble, uncut, with a couple tiny highly detailed gismoz sculted in; probably at places you wouldn't be able to look at, too.
