Hey Guys,

I just started playing around with Reason 4 the past couple days and I ran into an interesting problem with Redrum.

I am using some samples from the RazorFX Demo pack from Prime Loops and whenever I load a sample into Redrum and press the play button on that channel to just hear the sample it then continues to loop the sample.

For testing I loaded a patch from another Redrum instance I configured and all I did was load the new sample without changing any other settings and this still occurred. I don't know if it's an issue with the .wav file or if it's just something silly I missed since I am fairly new to Reason but I haven't been able to find anything regarding this except for an unresolved thread on this forum from a year or so ago.

My situation appears to be identical to that same issue that was mentioned here.

I would greatly appreciate any advice you guys might have.

are you pressing the Run button at the bottom of redrum or the play buttons at the top where the samples are loaded? The top buttons are the ones to use.

I am pressing the button at the top of each track that has the standard right pointing triangle that normally represents play.

Some other details. The Redrum instance is wired up to a 6-2 line mixer which has a compressor on the aux. I have disabled the compressor and the issue still occurs.

Further more, the sound continues to loop even after I press the mute button at the top of the track on the Redrum machine.

EDIT: In addition, when I apply that "working patch" and then change the sound. It only causes the looping on that channel specifically. If I press the play button at the top of any other channel with a sound from the previous patch it works fine. My guess is that there is some difference in the wave file,but I haven't been able to really find anything.

Alright, after some further digging I solved my problem by taking all of the samples that were in .wav format and running them through a converter that output them as .wav again.

I can only assume that there was some piece of metadata in the file or something that was causing Reason to want to loop it but I've never seen anything like that before.

Hopefully this will come in handy to someone else that searches for this same issue.

I bet the predefined loop points attached to the files are what was messing things up
