Review For Thursday Quiz

We are going to have our Friday quiz on Thursday this week. On Friday, you'll get to catch up on quizzes you've missed, work on blogs, and get some free time.

The object of the quiz is to change a Dr. Rex Instrument Loop or Music Loop by lowering or raising the Pitch and making the Tempo different from the original loop.

1. Open Reason
2. Make sure you have a Mixer 14:2
3. Create a Dr. Rex
4. Click on the "Folder" in the upper left hand corner.
5. Select either Dr. Rex Instrument Loops or Music Loops.
   
6. Choose a loop and then click "TO TRACK"
7. Now we want to adjust the PITCH and TIME of the sample.
8. To do this we need to change two things. To change the Time, change your Tempo. Set it to anything except what it says on the Dr. Rex.
9. To change the Pitch, use the keyboard on the Dr. Rex to transpose your sample up or down.
10. Remember, if you choose a high tempo you might want to transpose the sample to a higher note. If you have a slow tempo you might want to transpose the sample to a lower note.
11. After you get your sample sounding the way you want it, it's time to add some drums that go with the sample.
12. Create a Redrum and make a 32 step drum pattern using a Clap, Bass Drum, Hi Hat, and Percussion. Make sure you put the sounds on appropriate boxes!
13. On the Redrum, Copy Pattern To Track and Click on the Pattern button.
14. Create a Dr. Rex. Load a Percussion Loop and adjust the PITCH. Put it "To Track."
15. Save your beat as "1/9/07 Review"
16. Post on your Blog.
