question on reason

[speaker]

i know i have posted some threads recently and looking back they have been stupied ones. i have spent most of my day reading up on equipment and other reltated stuff. but there is one quesion i would like answered if possible.
i am using reason 2.5 and have created a mountain of samples. well question is. is there another program i can up load the samples to. you know like n-track or sound forge were i have my own record song in place awiting the loop i created in reason.
or is there another way of doing it
hope someone can answer

a few things to say about reason 2.5--i think i can clear up your questions about how to use the program with your own samples....

first off, not to be an ass or anything, but i might suggest finding your manual for the program to read up on how to use it....

...but getting to the answers--you should use the nn-xt rack sampler. if you open up the sub screen (indicated on the left hand side of each module by a little triangle symbol) you should be able to open up the nn-xt sampler rack where you can phyiscally place your samples at. You can actually just drag your wav files onto the screen and change the keymapping layout, or you could click on the folder icon and browse through your samples via reason, so you can at least audition what you have there.

as for loops--get recycle so you can chop them up, otherwise your stuck playing the pitch-adjustment game, whereas you can just take your loop, open it in recycle, chop it up and save it as a rex file or .rx2 file, and then open that rex file up in the "Dr. Rex Loop Player"... it loads up just like a loop, but you can adjust the tempo without changing the pitch.

As for individual drum samples, you can load them up through the redrum drum machine--look for the little folder icons---THINK WINDOWS INTERFACE... thats the best i can say... its just like opening files in windows 3.1, minus the awful slowness of a 386

anyhoo, i still strongly suggest reading your manual for the program--there are a ton of features that it explains that your missing out on if you just try to "learn it yourself" like i did (although i seemed to fair pretty well, i've been using logic audio platinum since it was 3.0, so i was used to semi-clunky interfaces)

cheers.
