Hey Michael I dig your tutorial man.

I have a quick question - I want to be able to automate the "dry/wet" knob to get that cool effect from just hearing the synth syncopated and then break into the drum beat. I tried using a sequencer track, hitting record and play and turning the knob but that didn't do it. How do you do this?

[optronix001]

you need to make sure the record Icon is selected in the track sequencer window before reason will record automation on the sequencer track. its a common mistake I used to make. hope this helps.

Hi I love your videos. Reason just has so many options and tricks and I keep learning new things all the time. Is there anyway to get your videos to be more clear? What screen capture software are you using? Is it any good?

the Shift holding tip is very good, I use it all the time, It´s important to READ the help of the software. ALWAYS.

Thanks for the 'holding SHIFT down while selecting a rack unit' tip. Everyone, this is a really good tip use it!

Reason why it's good tip is because sometimes when you have a big track and lots of stuff and instruments going on, adding another rack unit (reverb, synth etc) will auto connect it to the above unit which can mess up settings and connections on other units.

I've been using Reason for a few years now. I'm pretty good now, getting into real mastering now! Never knew this tip

THANKS!
