Multitrack Drum Session - The Loop Loft

One of my major gripes when using drum loops is the inability to pan the kit the way I want. Let alone trying to add effects to a single drum or mute the cymbals. The Loop Loft has solved these issues with Multitrack Drums:


"Sometimes loops just aren't enough. Do you ever wish you could ride the faders and control the individual elements of a live drum track? Well, now you can.... and for only $15! With our new series of multitrack drums, we provide you with 9 separate tracks of drums and percussion, giving you full control over the level, EQ, compression and effects for each instrument.

On top of that, we organize the sessions by song structure, breaking up different components of the song into different folders (intro, verse, chorus etc) and with each section of the song, we provide a multitude of groove and fill variations. Just listen to the preview clip, drag and drop the multitrack files into your session and start arranging and mixing. It's that easy. And since the tracks are WAV files, they're compatible with every major DAW including Logic, Ableton, GarageBand, Cubase, Pro Tools and many others."

Rewiring Record

Everyone's biggest complaint about Propellerhead Record when it was first released was its Reason-like lack of support for third-party plugins. Propellerhead claimed this was in the interest of stability, whereas user claimed "shut up!" But hey, calm down everybody, don't you realize you can just rewire audio from Record into any Rewire-capable recording software? In effect, Rewire let's you use third-party plugins in sessions started in Record.

So it's not exactly like having those plugins in the Record environment, but Rewiring to a second DAW (like Logic Pro in this case) is still a useful technique to have in your bag of tricks, for reasons explained in this Rewire video tutorial.

Creating Mix Groups In Propellerhead Record: A How-To (Video)

Promoted as the DAW for musicians, Propellerhead Record nevertheless features some of the most sophisticated (and intimidating) mix routing of any multi-track recording software. While this opens the opportunity to do some very creative things in the mix interface, it also makes certain basic functions — like creating mixing sub groups — a little confusing.

That's why we've put together this step-by-step video on how to create submixes in Record. It may require a few more steps than creating subgroups in other DAWs, but the visual routing component presented by the virtual rack view (ported from Reason) aides the process. As does Owen's patient, guiding voice.

Music Making Month - Exploring Synthesis for Inspiration

Chris Petti can dream synthesis routings while he sleeps. The man
has never seen a VCO and an LFO he didn't like. But behind all the
science and technology, Chris also knows that the point of synth
sound design is making great musical sounds. He joins us to show
us how we can all explore synthesizers a little deeper for custom
patch creation while always keeping our minds on the song we want
to make. Oh and he'll make a bass synth that will melt your face!!

Music Making Month - Sampling Inside the Reason Rack

Sampling isn't always about sticking a mic in front of your dog to turn his bark into your next bass lead. Sometimes the best stuff you can sample is inside the Reason rack.

Propellerhead's Artist Interview: Semothy Jones

Semothy Jones was 8 years old when he heard a record that showed him the meaning of life: producing music. Admittedly unable to sing or rap, young Semothy faced a somewhat existential crisis: "I make beats, what am I?"

The answer soon revealed itself to him when his beats were sought out by UK artists like Little Boots and Professor Green. When Green and Jones decided to do a remake of the 90s hit "Dub Be Good to Me," they had no idea that pop-royalty Lilly Allen would jump on the chorus and take the album to number 2 on the charts.

Since being introduced to Reason in 2002, every Semothy Jones production starts and ends inside the Reason rack.
