Beat Practice

Here's another assignment to do to practice what we learned this week. (Copy Pattern To Track and Two Bar Patterns)
  1. Open Reason
  2. Make sure you have a Mixer 14:2
  3. Set Tempo between 80-110
  4. Create Redrum
  5. In Sound 1 on the Redrum, load a Clap and put it on 5 and 13.
  6. In Sound 2 on the Redrum, load a Bass Drum and put it on 1, and a few other boxes (except 5 and 13).
  7. In Sound 3 on the Redrum, load a Hi Hat and put it on boxes that sound good.
  8. In Sound 4 on the Redrum, load a Percussion sound and put it anywhere.
  9. Now, do a new pattern on Pattern 2. This will be a 2 bar pattern.
  10. Select Sound 1, click on boxes 5 and 13.
  11. Select Sound 2, click on boxes 1, and a few other boxes (except 5 and 13).
  12. Select Sound 3, click on any box you want.
  13. Select Sound 4, click on any box you want.
  14. Now, we want to edit steps 17-32.
  15. Change the steps of the Redrum from 16 to 32.
  16. Move the Edit Steps from 1-16 to 17-32.
  17. Repeat steps 10 through 13.
  18. Now that you've finished making your patterns, it's time to Copy Pattern To Track.
  19. Move the "R" to 5 and select Pattern 1. Right click on the Redrum and select Copy Pattern to Track.
  20. Move the "R" to 9 and the "L" to 5 and select Pattern 2. Right click on the Redrum and select Copy Pattern to Track.
  21. Click on the PATTERN button on the Redrum so that they don't play at the same time.
  22. Save your beat! And Show it to me!
