Recording jams to Reason 4

nex · Post by **nex** » Sat Jun 21, 2008 3:35 pm

When I'm adding a new melody to a track I like to just put it on loop and jam on the keyboard, like most people I guess. Problem is I'll get really into it and knock out a sweet tune but then I'll spend ages trying to remember what notes I played. I've tried recording but it's a pain when I'm only working with about 32 bars and if I put it on loop the notes from the previous loop will play again on the next record loop making it all far too messy. I've got around this by just copy pasting the 32 bars out into like 320 bars but this doesn't seem ideal.

What'd be great is if there was a way to put a certain bit of the track on loop and then for each loop to be recorded in a seperate note lane.. is there any functionality like that in reason or am I gonna have to rewire?

cheers x

Don't jam into the loop, copy paste your beat to infinity and jam.

You always can go back to the passage you liked.

sometimes if im jamming, and running out of room i quickly hit tyhe number 6 of the number pad to the right

what this does is creat a new note lane, and mute the first

i think thats what your looking for
