Become familiar with Reason's virtual musical instrument collection, and learn how to record a software instrument track in Reason.
- [Voiceover] Let's check out the basics of recording…with the virtual instruments…that come with Reason.…The recording process for recording the sequencer…with instruments in Reason is the same…whether you choose an individual instrument specifically…or you search in the browser like we did earlier…in the course for a type of sound,…such as an acid bass or something like that.…Either way, the working the sequencer will be the same.…It's nice to become familiar…with the individual instruments…that come with Reason.…
I'd like to show those to you now.…First, I'm going to focus…on the keyboard-based instruments.…I'll make a little room here.…The first one is Thor.…I'll let you hear…the default preset.…(keyboard plays)…Really can't judge the synths by the default preset.…It can make all kinds of different sounds.…If I show the programmer, you'll see…what's under the hood in Thor.…
It's pretty advanced if you want to dig in deep,…if you're one of those types of people,…you certainly can.…There are three oscillators where you can change…
