into sections The most basic will just be tone control with a bass
boost at one end and treble boost at other. Next most simple is
separate control for bass and treble. Then someone thought of
adding minds control to adjust the decent amps theses days will
have at least a five band equalizer the more bands the more fine
control you have over Volume Master volume
5. HOW TO GET TO THE DRUMS
6. HOW TO USE REDRUMS Redrum is ten channel drum machine which
uses a pattern sequencer to create drum parts. The number of steps
represent semiquavers(16th notes)and can be adjusted down from 16
one bar of 4/4-16 semiquavers to for exmaple4 12 one bar3/4 -12
semiquavers).Each channel allows you to control the individual
patch of the kit for example pan bass treble As with the Dr REX
loop player the patches are also mapped to your keyboard again
starting at c1 channel none and rising e.g.C#1 (channel 2)
7. HOW TO CREATE A SAMPLER The NN-XT is a highly advanced
sampler with an impressive list of features and functions to it.
Where the NN-19 is a "fast-track" sampler, this machine is for your
more demanding sampling tasks. The NN-XT is bursting with detailed
programming options, but comes with an intuitive user interface,
making it the perfect tool for both sound design and life-like
instrument emulation. Just load up one of the included orchestral
library patches, and you'll know what we're talking about. Go on
create and then instruments and then on NN- XT advanced
sampler
8. How to use sampler Click The NXT allows you to load and play
samples as with the NN-19 The additional feature is that it allows
you to layer one sample over another which is done by mapping the
samples across the keyboard. The NXT-XT comes with a range of
instrumental samples and also some very high quality sound effects
it is also very useful for playing WAV samples which can include
vocals recorded by pupils or live instrumental riffs.
9. How to import drums Right click and then go on copy

11. Subtractor is an analog type polyphonic synthesizer based
on subtractive synthesis, the method used in classic, analog
synthesizers. A unique feature of the Subtractor Synthesizer is the
oscillator phase offset. By using this feature you can create
complex waveforms by subtracting or multiplying a waveform with a
phase offset copy of it self.
12. How to add panning Each channel of Reason's mixer has a
single pan pot, which places mono signals in the stereo field. As
with mixing in any environment, remember to make good use of
positioning to spread things out and add space to your mix. Common
wisdom suggests that loud and low-frequency parts stay central, to
share the burden between your speakers and keep a solid foundation
to the mix.
13. How to balance tracks (change the volume) Turn up and to

14. How to add reverb Reverb: Reverberation or reverb effects
are omnipresent, both in the real world and in music production.
Judicious use of reverb can make the difference between a
professional recording and something that sounds like it was
recorded in a bedroom, adding depth and fullness to the sound.

numeric keypad and type the letter keys on the keyboard 3. Use a
MIDI Keyboard (or MIDI Controller) and enter the notes and rests
one at a time. Step time
