Tutorial for Reason

[VGreen]

Anybody know where I can find a tutorial for Reason on the net? I've Googled but haven't found anything for beginners.

Basically, I'm not happy with the sound patches on my Yamaha and I want to use the patches on Reason - or some other software. I've just been told that I need to use my keyboard as my controller, record a midi track through protools, record it to another track in audio, then import a patch from Reason. I don't know how to import patches.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Unless you're recording audio and nothing but audio in a studio setting in my humble opinion there are MUCH better programs for midi out there than 'protools'. If you haven't tried it yet, here's a link to Reaper which will act as a ReWire host for Reason just as protools will. Instead of the 'Reason Adapted' that comes with protools, I recommend you team Reaper with the full version of Reason. For about the same --- or less --- money you will have a much more powerful midi setup at your fingertips.

You can think of Reason as one big softsynth with almost unlimited possibilities. It has everything you could want in a synthesizer rack - two synths, a sampling drum machine, two full-blown samplers, a loop player for REX files, mastering processors galore and effects up the ol' wazoo.

Here's a link to an instructional DVD on Amazon.com --- LINK. If that one doesn't look good to you, sniff around there a little more. There's probably a 'Reason for Dummies' book and many other Reason absolute beginner books for sale there.
