Cntrl+Enter(Win)REcord

[mcRioRemedy]

[ebsho803e]

how do you create those time markers to mark verses?

[Iceboy575655]

Hello. I havent hooked up my midi keyboard yet so I just use my keyboard keys. But whenever I use the keyboard keys, the piano always is delayed or just fades out. Any tips? Thanks.

[GothLolitaOrchestra]

great company

[Karnnos]

By the way, instead of Shift+Tab You can press Ctrl+E, which somehow works best for Me personnaly.

[m10690d]

fuck the manual,i produce dubstep house electro.and i mite be getn signd to a record label all from youtube tutorials!

[stratcatavarious]

I saw record 1.5 in there !

[dkyx]

James, hurry up with the next eps! No I don't care if you're on vacation or whatever, feed us hungry addicts >:)

[TheBassHeavy]

Thanks a lot James - really helpful!

[evensteven66]

I can't wait for the "L" key command to loop a selected clip

[ShelLuser]

Interesting stuff. Not as interesting as some of your previous tutorials but alas.. Its just too bad that there isn't a (assignable) key command to initialize a patch. btw; personally I also heavily use the F8 key to bring up (and remove) the tool window. Often I find it easier to use when I'm building an instrument or effect in the combinator (you can scroll much quicker there).

[jahardo]

There is no COMMAND key on PC, it's the ALT key for those confused.

[JStylesMusic]

Hi james I was wondering do you have any videos using the spider audio? for redrum?

[FFspb]

what the track plays in the end?

[jamesbernardmusic]

@FFspb

It's a piece of music I am working on.

[FFspb]

@jamesbernardmusic nice tune! its finished? was released?

[jamesbernardmusic]

@FFspb

Not yet.. maybe soon... I have a lot of partially finished tunes I need to complete for an album.

[WanderingWallaby]

I knew some of these. What would really help would be a cheat sheet/appendix of all the commands on one page, rather than just dotted throughout the documentation

[andybside]

Thanks for the great tips Mr Bernard! Here, have an apple!! No, seriously, I love all you tuts. Keep em coming!

[MrBrandonPeoples]

I must admit, people think I'm crazy when they watch me use Reason 4 and Record with all the key comands

[Anestecia77]

Please add Copy/Paste/Cut/Duplicate/Time on the secuencer on Reason 5 like ableton does.

[PushedButton]

Where's the how to RTFM tutorial?

[jamesbernardmusic]

@PushedButton

The new generation/crop of producers these days tend to not read manuals and go right to YouTube for everything... so.. while it might seem a bit redundant to explain functions/features that are in the manual to those of us that read it, it's all new info to them. The purpose of these episodes is to both show new/unique tips/tricks and also cover some of the basic 101 type stuff. That way we can have something for everyone.

[MrBrandonPeoples]

@jamesbernardmusic and propellerhead is the only company (music DAW wise) that actaully provides their tutorials for free

[Crowmusicuk]

@MrBrandonPeoples That's not true - Ableton and Pro Tools do too (or at least PT used too). Thanks for the tutorials James, much appreciated (and your Rewire template has been truly fantastic too!)

[MrBrandonPeoples]

@Crowmusicuk i did not know that, I've looked and never found any, PM a link please :D

[mcRioRemedy]

@MrBrandonPeoples well it makes sense, any company that charges you to show you how to use their product isnt worth investing in

[CrizzyConnor]

@jamesbernardmusic Definitely, I have never looked at the manual once. Everything I know about production was learned from friends or YouTube tutorials. I really appreciate every one of these tuts.

[PushedButton]

@jamesbernardmusic No Really, i think that new producers need to see someone browse to the manual on a mac and on a PC so they know where it is. Similar principal to this tutorial - agree with everything you said, just that it's a shame that the documentation is so good yet is largely overlooked.

[mesaoneCCK]

@jamesbernardmusic ok, yes the manual has this. But sometimes when a use like me buys an upgrade, it is easier to see the "what's new" videos, since I know my way around the older version.

[Funmichi]

which one is the shift key?

[JStylesMusic]

very good tip thank u!

[v1o]

What's the difference between "CMD + E" and "Shift + Tab"?

[v1o]

Nice one. For some reason never knew L/R locator key commands LOL!

[pillFight]

Good tips. I actually knew mostly of these tips by learning them by accident. But some of those tips were helpful! Thanks

[tapeisrolling]

Reason needs a set of key commands for increasing/decreasing the snap value. That dropdown control is a hassle.

Great videos James.

[badasschickendude]

I loved the music at the end... Is that your own track?

[jamesbernardmusic]

@badasschickendude Yes.

[badasschickendude]

@jamesbernardmusic where can i find it lol?

[jamesbernardmusic]

@badasschickendude

At the moment.. only on my computer... not finished yet. ;-)

[kittehjam]

out of all those keys, G and H (zoom) are the only ones I never learned.. I thought the Ctrl+LMB drag on the new zoomed map thingie on the bottom of records sequencer was awesome, before record I would just click.. so cumbersome

I can't wait until next week, I want to see records list

[rockhills]

@3:12 there is no command key on pc

[kittehjam]

@rockhills I just loaded up record to check, it seems Alt+LMB works for folding/unfolding

[grumo81]

@rockhills command on mac/control on PC

[grumo81]

@rockhills or alt maybe, yeah ;)

[jamesbernardmusic]

@jamesbernardmusic

Wait.. ALT !!!!
