I used FL Studio 6 and 7 to record songs using the synths in the program, a guitar, and a piano until my one of my friends introduced me to Reason 4.0's Redrum synth and superior system overall about a month ago. I still know nearly nothing of the program but that it is obviously better than FL Studio.

Anyway, I plugged my guitar into my presonus firebox 6 track and turned on reason, but there was no sound coming from the speakers. I figured the wrong audio card was selected. Nope- "ASIO Presonus ASIO Driver (FireBox)."

If i click control panel and change the latency or sample rate or right click on my firebox icon and change the CPU setting from high to medium or low, i can hear my guitar for about a second before it cuts out. I can play and record just fine in FL Studio 7, but Reason isn't working. What do I do?

Reason can't record audio, it is basically a rack of synth, samplers, and effect devices. If you want to record audio while working with reason, you'll need to rewire reason with a DAW (fl studio can rewire with reason).

If you don't know what rewire is, then read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReWire

In short rewire is basically a protocol that allows you to stream audio and send midi data to reason from the daw of your choice.

To be honest, the FL+Reason situation works EXTREMELY well. I was being very stubborn trying to only use Reason because it's such an awesome ass application, and I kind of hate FL but the bottom line is using both is the best of both worlds

Wow, thank you so fcking much dude. I've been itching to record and overdub all day since summer started.

I'm basically the same way. The only time I rewire reason and fl is when my friend (an FL fiend) sends me a session file and I have to do the drums. Other than that I've come to realize that it's much better to rewire reason into my recording program which happens to be MOTU Digital Performer....
