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.

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.

@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 :)

@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! :)

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

@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.

@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

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?

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
