Dumb question about Get User Groove function

Hello,

Belive or not but i found it hard to follow this instruction from "discovering reason" manual:

Quote:

Dr.REX - the Swing Supplier
Even if you don't want to use a loop for its sound, you can still find the rhythmic feel of the loop appealing. Let's say you find a certain conga loop that – even though you happen to loathe congas – has a nice groove to it that makes you wanna get up and do a funky little dance number. After all, it has this human feel to it that no stiffly programmed drum pattern can mimic. Well, go for it – just steal the groove and throw the congas on the fire! Here's the procedure:

Create a Dr.REX and open that groovy loop
Click "To Track" on the Dr.REX
In the sequencer window, right-click on the group you just created
On the context-menu, select "Get User Groove"

Now the groove is all yours and you can find it on the Quantize grid drop-down menu as the last item: "User". It remains there until the next time you do a "Get User Groove" and is saved with the song, ready to be applied to any riff or pattern you record.

I can't find the mentioned "Get User Groove" function and it drives me crazy. If anyone could explain step-by-step how to follow this step-by-step tutorial i would be really really thankful.

Thanks in advance!

Note: in Reason 5, it's called "Get Groove From Clip" instead of "Get User Groove".

Load a REX loop, right-click on Dr. Rex and hit Copy Loop to Track, right-click on the resulting loop on the note lane, and finally click Get Groove From Clip.

Now if you open the ReGroove mixer, you'll see that a new groove called "User 1" has been added to your inventory.

Yes, I believe the "Discovering Reason" tutorials are somewhat dated....at least some of them. Prior to Reason 4, the tutorial would have worked as described. However, with the implementation of the Regroove feature, that clip gets added to the first available channel on the Regroove mixer as Neb stated.
