Record micro tutorial 1 - Record basics

[FuturedaveyP]

whats the difference between the main mixer and the 14 input one you create? i dont understand

[PropellerheadSW]

@FuturedaveyP The big mixer has analog-style modelled compressors on every channel, a similarly modelled EQ that has parametric frequency sweepable controls, 8 Aux sends for effects, inserts for effects control options, phase and gain stages, stereo width control and a beautiful sounding master bus compressor. The 14-2 is much more basic with fewer FX sends, no inserts, no gain stage, no analog modeling, master bus comp, etc. It's just a way to balance basic levels, not a complete mixing tool.

[FuturedaveyP]

@PropellerheadSW cheers for you reply. Im used to recording on a digital 16track so when there basically two sets of faders (more than one mixer) im not familiar with it. So, once youve created a 16 channel re-mixer, does this get routed to the main mixer? im also wondering why audio tracks dont automatically get routed to the re-mixer, or is there no need for that? Im also having problems with the click track- i can hear it using monitors but not when i re-route my output to heaphones. cheers

[holyfingshit]

i am trying to do this on a new mac, and it says that it can use the built in input device to get sound, but its not getting any noise, can anyone help me?

[hc1435]

OK so I have been using reason for a long time and understand that you cannot record sounds from a microphone, but thats what I thought Record was for, I have the demo to try and I have a microphone that I tried many times to connect, but I have no success. My question is, how do you connect a USB microphone into Record

Thank-you

[TheOthli]

I've got an prolly lame question, in this vid you see the guitarist play and it automaticly records. is you're guitar plugged in straight to the PC ? or trough a mic ?

Thanks in advance

[PropellerheadSW]

@TheOthli The guitar is plugged in directly to the sound card and he is using the amp simulator in Record to get his tone.

[TheOthli]

@PropellerheadSW Ah i see thanks :)

Now im running like this, play the guitar / sing and record it on a Tascam DP -008

Then extract those files and put em on my computer and mix em up with record, so i cant directly record with Record. So i should get an special cable to plug the guitar in to the Sound card ?

Thanks :)

[PropellerheadSW]

@TheOthli A lot of this depends on your sound card. My sound card... and many of them, have an "instrument jack" where you can plug your guitar directly into it. Some don't. If they don't you would need something to convert the instrument level to "line level." Or you could fudge it and just plug in by converting the connector from a guitar cable to whatever your sound card is (like RCA jacks or mini jacks). The quality won't be as good but it will work, ultimately. Good luck! :)

[embustler]

Hey, i apologise in advance for sounding niave, but can anyone help me? Im about to purchase record 1.5 for my reason 5, mainly to record vocals in. I have a microphone in mind to buy, and i was simply wondering do i just directly plug the mic to my laptop to record the vocals into an audio track?? Or is there something else i need other than that? Please help although im sure i sound silly for asking. Thanks

[PropellerheadSW]

@embustler Don't worry. Everyone has to start somewhere and at one time or another we all asked exactly this same question! Most microphones require something called a "preamp" which turns the quiet signal coming out of the microphone up to a usable level for recording. Many affordable USB Audio Interfaces for recording on computers include some quite acceptable preamps for recording. Good luck and please feel free to visit our website forums for any and all questions. We're here to help. :)

[embustler]

@PropellerheadSW Thank you very much! I will start looking for one right away! Do you have any recommendations for an affordable preamp??

[marv4976]

@embustler u need an external or internal sound card that allow you to connect and xlr cable for your condenser mic to your computer. cheap but really good, m-audio. average and a little more than cheap, presonus. top notch and expensive, pro tools. just google it pick your poison depend on how deep your pockets are, and good luck my friend.

[kmne11528]

Record 1.5 is something very special indeed. Reason 5 is feckin fantastic too. Can't wait mate.

[MrBrandonPeoples]

@jeeprv5 in the sequencer window, click on the audio track, then click the little down arrow on the track to expand the input options, then select what device you are using

[aruanmokura]

hi there...i use windows 7 and i installed the program.. but no command works what should i try? thnks

[SickAlchemist]

can reason record support vsti?

[SickAlchemist]

"Rock on Buddy" 1:42 LMAO

what a fag..

[kymbo72]

hahaha.....that did sound stupid hey!

[OutcastMKD]

do you need to have a usb guitar cable for this ?

[MrBrandonPeoples]

@OutcastMKD you could use a 1/4" jack to usb, but the sound quality will be lost, try using an external audio input device such as the m-audio fast track usb, which will process your guitar much better

[makodans]

Record is such a crap program! I've tried and it has a very slow work flow plus the bulkiest interface I ever saw!

Why they released it? Still they dont know what is going on out there?

Its pity!

[narutonerd4life]

thats to u but i like it better then ableton live peice of shit software

[InstantMix]

Jesus christ are you retarded or something?

Record is AMAZING.

If you are looking for "jesus christ it's so easy that it's shit go" and buy ejay

[MrLSDance25]

Когда КРЯК ПОЯВИТСЯ?????

[DionMarinos]

and for those asking if u need an external piece of hardware the answer is no.

u can plug right into your mic jack with a 1/8 fitting from your 1/4 inch patch cord. but u must open the line 6 guitar amp mod in record .

which is pretty basic. check out my tutorial on how to start. mind you I did use a peddle :)

[DionMarinos]

For folks who dont have $grands$ to spend on expensive gear this is the best thing out there.

Im surprised to hear folks complaining about this software.

if you have it all why do you give a shit.

if you dont, then use record lol.

[mysticradio]

how can you take a PRO piece of kit seriously if someone says... 'ROCK ON BUDDY'' .... so i guess this software really is for bedroom hero recordists. which is fine. Keeping out my 3rd party software i paid thru the nose for....isnt nice. One would have to buy a receptor to use plug ins through audio channels.

But for home recordists this is a dream come true.....for pro's not so much....

[FuturedaveyP]

@mysticradio haha, well if youre gonna base the whole program on the way they choose to compile and present their tutorial videos then maybe you and your opinion should 'sod off, buddy'. So, if the tutorials were made boring with no humor then the software is automatically at a higher standard?! hmmm. Just look at the quality of gear available nowadays and compare it to 15 or so years ago. Its amazing.

[chrisphi11]

It's a beginners question, but do you just plug your guitar directly into the computer to use this software or is additional hardware needed? Thanks.

[DAllenmuzik]

"Rock on Buddy"  1:42

This Guy Is A Corn Ball

[cipher3113]

korgpadude: You need a PC, a MIDI audio interface, a guitar and probably something like a guitar effects preamp. My setup is more sophisticated but Record plugged into Reason definitely makes writing music better.

[swiftomatik]

add vst support. please.

[korgpadude]

at 1:48 is what i need i want to buy a guitar and record it on reason what i need ? do i need to buy some cables or some other hardwares to connect it with reason?

[dispenserPEZ]

Reason doesnt have ANY record capabilities. Its not meant for recording...hence this software deemed RECORD appropriately.

[TomSaunders89]

AHHHHHH!!!!

[Indy500Lover]

Propellerheads,

If this Record software had the capabilities of VST and VSTi's.

It would definitely give Protools a run for its money.

Including CubaseSX-5.

All you guys need to do is let this software be able to work with VST and VSTi's and I would guarantee that people would be buying this by the thousands in one week.

we been asking for this for a very very long time.

[maxpayne123]

i know what your saying but if the did they would loose money on their refills

[acnyn]

ROCK ON BUDDY!

[golafs]

why didn´t they just add audio and the updated (and nice) mixer into reason?

tell you why, because they (are swedish :) got this idea of the name Record, "hey it has the RE*** thing, and it is Record, wow." yes clever, and good name, but Record is in fact also reason, right? so reason is basically dead. It was just a name preferance, and perhaps the propellerheads guys haven´t realized that they just killed reason. Who wants reason when you can get reason with audio?

[grumo81]

I think you have to have reason installed for the reason part to work...

[2mnyshp]

the reason of the reason why reason is reason is the reason for that reason.

[Twentysixbillion]

classic :D

[Indy500Lover]

You are a moron.

First Reason does not come within Record software.

Record is an audio program made by propellerheads. and (IF) you have reason, then you can merge both programs to create one.

The reason why they did this is because there are many people who dont use Reason and just need an affordable audio recording DAW.

Unlike CubaseSX-5 which cost like 600 bucks.

and Protools, which you need to buy so much shit for.

Record just needs a computer & sound card, thats it

You need to learn more

[golafs]

ah, yes. sorry guys. thought the reason instruments came within the record software. my mistake.

you can now take back all the bad words about me :)

[TheHustlingYoungster]

Is this better than Adobe Audition?

[octeuron]

rock on buddy! ... was that really necessary?

[williamriveramusic]

ohhh brother you have to watch all propellerhead's product videos to understand this. Like the drums refill video, or the piano refill video. I like them all.

[inarinokami]

lol

[Collaboratory313]

That was Great!!! now for digital Producers GIVE US VST SUPPORT!!!

[djsubterrain]

BUY CUBASE AND STOP WHINING!

[Sonordrums778]

buy logic or Pro Tools and be professional :)

[skinsahskinsah]

Buy whatever you want and ignore fucktard elitist assholes like this. Amatuers built the Ark, Professionals built the Titanic.

[Sonordrums778]

did Propellerhead like rip you off or something? haha

[DJCW]

huh?

[jizzwarrior]

I really can't wait for this program to be released.

The only trouble I have is figuring out what connections I need to make between my guitar and the PC to actually use this.

Can anyone recommend a simple to use/install audio interface that's also reasonably priced? Please message me so I don't miss your message.

Thanks in advance.

[DJCW]

audio yes? About time Propellerheads!! Now for VSTs huh?

[robdrums69]

no doubt

[dangerale]

"Oh yeah.. Rock on, buddy!"

[SalemXIII]

Yeah, that was the best part, LOL!

[dangerale]

Good representation and all,

but the commentator should

not have to try so hard to be

cool! LOL

[ballynclarks]

theres always one and today its dangerale

[gilegraam]

this is just like everything i wanted to accompany reason. omg this is gonna be some poisonous combo! loveeeeee it!

[qotsa1313]

hell yeeeeeeeeeeeeaah!!

[portessa]

LOL! ROCK ON, BUDY!

[JackBanger]

please tell me an audio interface comes with this...I'm no guitar player

[QDTREEN]

im still waiting for a message for beta testing

COME ON PLEASE !!!!!!!

I can help out for the producers conference

in melbounre i can even sing

[skoolerbeats]

Is it on in Melbourne this year?

[Zenboy23]

beta testing, lol, I downloaded it since may 18, and its crap NO VST support, reason+vst support would have been so much interesting, this software is lame...

[redchant]

VST support would open up the possibility of the program running slowly, propellerhead write the code to be as lightweight as possible.

[Zenboy23]

It would also open up the possibility for it to be useful, lol...

for what it makes there are already a dozen of programs that do the same

[littlegogie]

can you import a movie via quicktime and score in Record?

[xefuzion]

A bit too early i guess but its awesome.

Still waiting for my acceptance for beta testing :).

[CapitalAofMiami]

sure hope al green's getting paid for this.

[juanrosa01]

is it all??? come on!! line 6 devices when?

[PropellerheadSW]

You gotta save something for the sequel. :-)

[User846]

great when can u get the msg for the beta testing :-)

[crucker2007]

[dafdaf321]

[SGFVIDEOS]

Rock on buddy lol. Great video.

-sgf

[xlingk]

Rock on Buddy ROFL!

looks just like reason. I hope it can go full screen and not 1/4th like reason because that would just SUCK when working with a song with a lot of tracks.

[bboyspaz]

HAHAHAHAHAH "ROCK ON BUDDY" awesome. This looks like it'll be great!

[wulimaster2k]

yeah - i never liked the non-maximizable window too

[aikighost]

Yep Ive got a 24 inch monitor and I have 3 racks sitting side by side on the record beta
