Hi,
Is it possible to record an external audio signal in reason 3? I want to record the voice of the leadsinger of my band. We use a mixing console, that controls everything. Now yesterday I tried to record the voice by connecting the mixing console to my computer by using the main out of the mixing console. In reason I take the rebirth input. When the singer sings, I can see the signal in the main mixer in reason. NOw , how do I record this signal.When I trie to record it, the record is blank.

Thanks

Reason can't record any external audio, the only way to put the vocals on the song using reason alone would be to import it as a huge wav or rex file and laying it down accordingly. If you don't want to do that, It'd be a mess anyway, then use reason in rewire with another program (protools, ableton, acid pro or whatever you choose).

HI,
I recorded the voice with audacity in wav form. Then I loaded that wav file into redrum.It works fine, I can play the vocal but I can't figure out how to record this. When I play the file and record, it doesn't record anything. How to solve this?

well you have to set redrum to an empty pattern, usually D8 is blank, then, when you want vocals to come in, start recording and change the pattern just before where you want it to come in.

It doesn't work. I can't record redrum. When I record it the recorfield stays blank

try using an nnxt - load up the wav file as a sample, and set it to a certain key - this is also a lot more precise.

I don't have a big budget, and the whole point of my buying Reason was so that I would't HAVE to purchase ProTools or Cubase. But, on my old computer I downloaded some very inexpesive software called n-Track Studio for about $49.00 which recorded vocals just fine; so I did the same thing again; then exported what I did in Reason to n-Track as a wave file so I could record the vocal tracks to it there; and then used the NN-XT Digital Sampler to "sample" the resulting wave file, enabling me to play, record, and add the finishing effects to the vocals in Reason. (Except the program now costs about $86.00, but that still beats the price of Cubase and ProTools by a long shot.)
