Having problems with Reason?

[strychninekid]

i know we have had discussions about reason and trying to figure it out in the past. I actually put it on the back burner becasue of the complexity of it. Well now I have found a god awesome book from Barnes and noble that will get you moving in the right direction. I am still going thru it but so far it is thurough and easy to understand. So if your interested get "Midi Sequencing in Reason" by Steve Nalepa. here is a synopsis of it

Synopsis
Reason is a complete virtual studio, a powerful application with endless creative possibilities -- assuming you know how to use it. Indeed, the key to producing and composing in Reason is learning how to master the tools available to you in its MIDI sequencer. MIDI Sequencing in Reason: Skill Pack is your guide to unlocking the power and creative freedom available in this dynamic program. A key part of MIDI Sequencing in Reason: Skill Pack is the CD-ROM included with this book. It's full of sample content and examples that you will use to build a song and, in the process, learn all the MIDI-sequencing intricacies of this dynamic and flexible software. Unlike other books with companion discs, the source files on every Skill Pack CD-ROM are an essential part of the book's tutorials - they are not there as mere examples, but are the building blocks from which you'll construct the projects. The result is a fully integrated learning experience. This book/CD package will teach you how to use all the major features of Reason's sequencer. Every available tool and function will be introduced and explained, with step-by-step exercises that illustrate the various ways to use them to enhance your productions.

Thanks, I purchased Reason4 a while back after I discovered RW for song creation. I had heard a number of interesting combinations between the 2 programs in Riffworld The genere of sound that comes from this combination (fusion etc ) I am very interested in exploring. ie. my song post "No Reason." No pun intended as I am actually using it in the song to combine generes of music and sound. I will check out the book. Good forum topic.
