SONG FILE HANDLING

137

1. Select New from the File menu to create a new song document window.

2. Add/remove devices and make settings as desired.

Typically, you may want the default song to contain your choice of devices and

possibly some patterns. You could also make some special routing between de-

vices, or even add some sequencer data.

3. Save the song anywhere you like, and under whatever name you like (to

keep things organized you might want to save the song in the Reason pro-

gram folder).

4. Open the Preferences dialog from the Edit menu (or from the Reason menu,

if you are using Mac OS X).

5. On the “General” page, click the radio button to select “Custom” in the sec-

tion called “Default Song”.

6. Click the folder icon to the right to open the file browser.

7. Navigate to the song you created earlier, select it and click “OK”.

The name of the song appears in the textbox.

8. Close the Preferences dialog.

The next time you launch the program or select New from the File menu, the new

song document will contain the devices and settings you made.

Exporting as an Audio File

When you have created a complete song, you may want to mix it down to make it play-

able for other people (who don’t use Reason). Of course, you could connect the au-

dio outputs of your audio hardware to a tape recorder or similar, and simply record the

song. But if you are planning to burn an audio CD or create mp3 files, it’s much more

convenient to mix down to an audio file, using the Export functions.

You can either export the whole song (from the start to the “E” marker), or only the

loop (the area between the left and right locator in the sequencer). Proceed as fol-

lows:

1. Make sure only the main stereo outputs are used.

That is, no devices should be connected to individual outputs (output socket 3 and

higher in the Hardware Interface device). The export function will only include au-

dio routed to the stereo outputs.

2. Make sure the Loop/End markers are at the correct positions.

If you want to export the loop, you need to set the left and right locators to encom-

pass the desired area. If you instead want to export the whole song, make sure the

End (E) marker is at the desired end position.

✪ If you are using reverb or delay, you may want to adjust the right locator

or End marker so that the reverb/delay “tails” are included in the ex-

ported file.

3. Check that the song (or loop) plays back properly.

It’s especially important that no clipping occurs during playback (see page 18).

4. Pull down the file menu and select Export Song as Audio File (or Export Loop

as Audio File).

A file dialog appears.

5. Specify a name, location and file type (AIFF or Wave) for the audio file, and

click Save.

This opens a Settings dialog.

6. Use the pop-up menus to select a sample rate and bit depth (resolution) for

the audio file.

16 or 24 bit audio is supported, at a number of different sample rates. The ex-

ported file will always be a stereo audio file.

D If exporting to 16-bits you have the option of applying Dither.

Dither is a type of noise added to a digital signal, which improves low level sound

quality when exporting to a lower bit resolution.

✪ Which format to select depends on how you are planning to use the file.

If you are planning to burn an audio CD, you should select 16 bit, 44100

Hz. If you are planning to open the file in another application, you should

select a format supported by this application. Also note that the higher

the resolution and sample rate, the larger the file.

7. Click OK.

The program creates the audio file. Depending on the length of the song/loop, this

may take a while, during which a progress dialog is shown.

! If you are using ReWire, you may want to use the Export function in the

ReWire master application instead. This allows you to include audio from

both applications in the exported audio file.
