err...

Are you talking about original vocals that you're going to record?

or sampled vocals that you just want to stick in your song?

Both require the same methods at a certain point, but start out at different points on the same path.

If you're going to record vocals in, that's a whole other ball game - but once you do, adding them to the track is (basically) the same as adding sampled vocals. Just use a NN-19 or NN-XT and load the vocal sample in and play it like it was an instrument.

if you're concerned with timing (like beat matching the tempo of the sample to the song) I usually burn it to CD and use CDJs to match by hand and resample. Or you can timestretch in several audio programs.

Once you do that, you may still want to shift certain syllables about to get better timing and/or to make delay/stutter effects. I find ReCycle the best tool for doing that. Chop up a vocal sample and stick it in your Dr.REX and play away. The finicky part, though, is ensuring that your sample length and beat length are correct.

Jah. Use Kontakt 2. It's a sick sampler. It can take Rex files too, so anything you cut up in Recycle will work in Kontakt too.

If you're doing vocals, or any "recorded" instruments, I'd strongly suggest looking at a proper DAW application like Cubase, Logic or SONAR - or possibly Ableton Live.

Reason just isn't equipped to do continuous audio tracks. You can fudge it with the samplers, but it's really no substitute for being able to chop around your audio in the way that Cubase allows.

Plus, you can run Reason next to a traditional sequencer and use it as a sound source with ReWire.

LOL, reason is what it is.

But TechMouse has it down - just rewire it to your "main" sequencer and you're good to go.

If you've got another sequencer, it's probably the better choice for actually recording the vocals.

But if you're not going to do a ton of vocal manipulation, there's nothing wrong with using reason's samplers or Dr. REX player. They're going to do the same thing as Kontact 2 or whatever.

Don't get caught up in the hype that sequencer X is better than sequencer Y. If you don't know how...that's not the fault of any one sequencer. If it you can't do what you need to do, then that's a different question.

You can export whatever you recorded in GarageBand into a format Reason can use.

But yes, a proper DAW (Cubase, Logic, Digital Performer, Sonar, etc.) will serve you better if you plan on doing a lot of recording of instruments/vocals.

They also cost a ton more and don't come with all the instruments like Reason does.

Yeah, you can use Reason rewired to that to good effect and then get more effects/instruments through VSTs/VSTi's that will make everything just that much better.
