"live"recording Usage Of, For Example, Reason 2, maybe i´m going about this the wrong way Options

[skogge]

Hi guys, and girls if there are any ;-)

Need some help here. I´m not a midi guy, i´m a songwriter in the lo-fi, indierockfield that switched the Tascam for 450MP, also used for graphic design. OS is Jaguar.
I use the computer like I would the Tascam, recording old organs and guitarsounds channel by channel. The first thing I record is a basic drumtrack from an external drummachine just for tempo. Since I don´t have a sampler and no real piano (just a wurlitzer, my neighbours would n o t enjoy a real piano...), I´ve been looking into the softsynth alternatives and I found Reason 2. I love the woodwinds, the strings and pianosamples! It´s perfekt for my arranging/recording needs (until someone gives me money to go in to an all analogue studio ;-)
But how do I get those sounds recorded into the audioprogram (for the moment Deck 3.5, another soon to come option is digi001)? My current setup is the G4 450MP running OSX Jaguar, M-audio Audiophile 2496 and Bias Deck 3.5. I´m trying out Reason as earlier stated. Any suggestions? Maybe i´m missing out on possibilities here, stuck as I am in old habits and ways of doing things.

Regards

You are all going to flog me now but I thinking about doing a stupid workaround. If I rout the audio from Deck (by the way, it does midi) to the macs built-in audiocard for monitoring the song, and then rout the magnificient stringsound from Reason via the M-audiocard to my stand-alone mixer and back to the audio-in on that same card I must be able to just play along to my song and getting that audio recorded? Hopefully..?
The problems with my recordings that I want to add stringsounds to is that nothing is in sync with a sequencer of any kind. Just with a drumtrack from a stand-alone drummachine recorded as audio on track one.
