My method is a little confusing.

So confusing I made this topic lol.

I want to know if what I am doing is down grading the quality of my sound.

I do one of two things when I produce a particular bass type.


Method One

I make a sound that I like in Reason and export that sound out of reason as a WAV. Then I bring it into Ableton and run it threw the "Simpler" tool and then add compressors or EQs to it on that same channel.

Method Two

I open a MIDI and audio channel side by side in Ableton.

I set the "MIDI to" on the MIDI channel to Reason, and "Audio from" on the audio channel to Reason, then pick the device with in reason from Ableton under "MIDI to".


I have a question about Method number two though. Say that I have the MIDI & Audio channel rewire going on in a track that I am working on. Is it NOT possible to open more then one .rns in Ableton at a time?

If you look earlier in the thread I mentioned a third method which personally is better than either of those two, simply set up an audio track for each reason instrument as you would before, but forget about the midi track. Now set the audio track to 'IN' rather than 'AUTO' and make sure that it's set to the specific channels of the instrument you want (don't ever use ins one and two though as it shits things up, start at 3/4). Now go to your reason window, draw in a midi box and write out some midi tings, now you can use the reason sequencer simultaneously with the Ableton one, automation suddenly becomes A LOT easier in reason and you still have the benefits of all the Ableton effects and the drum rack etc can still be sequenced in Ableton itself. Hope that helps
