SONG FILE HANDLING

136

Saving a Song

To save a song, proceed as follows:

1. Set up the self-contained settings as desired (see the previous page).

2. Pull down the File menu and select Save (or press [Command] / [Ctrl]-[S]).

If this is the first time you save the song, a regular file dialog will appear.

3. Specify a name and location for the song and click Save.

Once you have saved a song, selecting Save will simply save it under the same name

and in the same location, without showing a dialog. If you want to save a song under

another name or in another location, select Save As... from the File menu to open the

save dialog.

Publishing a Song

If you want to make your songs available to the public, e.g. for downloading on the In-

ternet, there is a special file format for this. A Reason published song (Windows file

extension “.rps”) is much like a self-contained song, but has the following restrictions:

• The user cannot save any changes to the song.

• Copy, Cut and Paste is disabled.

• It is not possible to use the function Export Song/Loop as Audio File if the the

song has been changed in any way.

In a word, published songs are “locked”. They are meant for playback only - no ele-

ments can be added, removed or extracted. Furthermore, a published song contains

information about which ReFills are required (if any).

To create a published song, pull down the File menu and select Publish Song. Specify

a name and location for the published song in the file dialog that appears, and click

Save.

D Note that you don’t have to make self-contained settings - all files (ex-

cept ReFill components) are automatically included.

About the Reason Song Archive

On the Propellerhead web site (www.propellerheads.se) you will find the Reason

Song Archive. This allows you to share your music with other Reason users by up-

loading your songs.

Opening a Song

1. Pull down the File menu and select Open.

The Reason song browser window appears.

2. Use the browser to navigate to the desired folder on disk or within a ReFill.

See page 33.

3. When you have located the song file, select it and click Open (or double click

on the file).

The song appears in its own document window.

✪ You can have several songs open at the same time if you like. This allows

you to copy and paste patterns and patches between songs. However, all

open songs consume some memory and performance, so you may want

to close songs you don’t need.

If the “Missing Sounds” dialog appears

If the song includes samples or REX files, and these have been moved or renamed

since the song was saved, the program will inform you that it cannot find all files. You

can then choose to either manually locate the missing files, to have the program

search for them or to proceed with missing sounds. For details, see page 41.

Closing a Song

To close the current song, select Close from the File menu or click the close box of

the song document window. If you have unsaved changes, you are asked whether you

want to save the song.

Creating a New Song

To create a new song, select New from the File menu. This makes a new song docu-

ment window appear.

D By default, the new song will contain a mixer and an MClass Mastering

Suite Combi.

If you want to start with your own selection of devices (or an empty rack), you can

customize your default song, as described below.

✪ An alternative to creating a new song would be to open one of the tem-

plates found in the Template Documents folder (within the Reason pro-

gram folder).

Creating a Default Song

If you often start off with the same set of devices, patches, patterns and settings, you

may want to create your own custom default song. Proceed as follows to specify a

song as the default:

1 2 ... 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 ... 401 402
