reason 2.0 soundbank with fryuity loops 4.0

[Mental Stimulation]

how do you use the soundbanks found within reason with fruity loops sequencing??? I have read on this board in the past that a few of you guys do this......so any help would be great from those who know how to to do this...

Interesting- sounds more like a rumor but its not completely impossible...Unless fruityloops can read RFL files(the soundbank files).

Easy way: You would have to get a program that can decode .RFL files,
RFL files are files that consists of multiple files, meaning that they contain Wav's, Aif's, and all types of patches for the reason rack modules. By decoding a RFL file you would have access to all the samples on an individual basis, When Reason itself looks at an RFL file it decodes it automatically giving you access to all the sounds. Now theirs no way in hell that proppellerhead or any other company would create a RFL decoder cuz they dont want to make it that easy for you to steal their sounds. So if this rumor is true then that means that theirs a RFL decoder that some programmer created floating on the net...

Hard Way: This will take weeks if not months and requires that you know some basics in audio editing. Now make an extremely long-a*s beat that contains every sound being played at every key, Make sure that all the notes are seperated spacially and none overlap each other, Cuz your gonna have to go in and chop em all out and rename them again. ITs actually much harder then this- this is just Oversimplification.

I suggest doing the hardway with only the drum samples. WHich is actually a great collection of drums. I've been meaning to do this myself just havent found the time.

THANK YOU FOR THE HELP....IT IS MUCH APPRECIATED. EVIL POPE, DO YOU USE REASON FOR BEATS??? AND IF YOU DO, DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS FOR A PERSON JUST BEGINNING TO LEARN THIS PROGRAM???

Start off with a one bar loop, Set the L locator on the #1 in the ruler, Set the R locator at #2, Now press play.

"Return" will take you back to the start of the song..

Create a Dr. Rex loop player, Load up a drumloop. Turn on the metronome Click, Set your tempo 80-100(your choice). Now if you have a keyboard attached then you can strike the keys to bang out a drum pattern to the click of the metronome, Whenever you feel like capturing something just press record, Remember your only capturing one bar of it, So when the loop is over you need to hit record again to stop recording So you wont overdub yourself. The beat never has to stop, You can overdub yourself with more drum sounds until you feel the drums are complete.

Create a NN19 sampler and load up an instrument. You can pretty much record the same way.

If you dont have a keyboard attached then your gonna have to make beats fruityloops style where you highlight and unhighlight boxes in a grid.

IN the bottom sequencer window theirs 2 ways of viewing your beat. The 2 ways are accessed in the upper-left hand corner of the sequencer section, One view is an overview of your track which shows all your tracks at once- You can do edits here. The next edit window is for the individual tracks, These provide more details.

To be continued...

once again...thank you evil pope for replying.........good looking out.

On the DR rex loop player theirs a button on the top center location called "To Track", This will automatically enter the drumloop as it is when you hear it into the sequencer.

It will drop it in according to the L and R locators,

The sequencer grid can be adjusted by note size- meaning if you set the grid to bar then whatever note you enter with your mouse will be a bar long( a 4-count), You can change it to 1/2,1/4,1/8,1/16,1/32, 1/64's and so on...

The Cursor in the sequencer window with the "P" on it, is where you play from. It is also the cursor that indicates where something will be pasted to. Whenever you highlight some data and "COpy" it, You place the "P" wherever it is that you wanna paste that.

Control K = Quantize - adjustable in the top bar of the sequencer section.
Control A= Select all
Control C= Copy
Control V=Paste

Once again........thanks for the info.....I have another question....Is Reason 2.5 more user friendly then Reason 2.0???

[the evil pope]

nah it has the same interface, They only added 3 new effect modules, An advanced reverb, a vocoder and a Distortion unit which is sick..
