"live"recording Usage Of, For Example, Reason 2, maybe i´m going about this the wrong way Options

[skogge]

Hi guys, and girls if there are any ;-)

Need some help here. I´m not a midi guy, i´m a songwriter in the lo-fi, indierockfield that switched the Tascam for 450MP, also used for graphic design. OS is Jaguar.
I use the computer like I would the Tascam, recording old organs and guitarsounds channel by channel. The first thing I record is a basic drumtrack from an external drummachine just for tempo. Since I don´t have a sampler and no real piano (just a wurlitzer, my neighbours would n o t enjoy a real piano...), I´ve been looking into the softsynth alternatives and I found Reason 2. I love the woodwinds, the strings and pianosamples! It´s perfekt for my arranging/recording needs (until someone gives me money to go in to an all analogue studio ;-)
But how do I get those sounds recorded into the audioprogram (for the moment Deck 3.5, another soon to come option is digi001)? My current setup is the G4 450MP running OSX Jaguar, M-audio Audiophile 2496 and Bias Deck 3.5. I´m trying out Reason as earlier stated. Any suggestions? Maybe i´m missing out on possibilities here, stuck as I am in old habits and ways of doing things.

Hey how was phil Elvrum? I heard microphones shows can be pretty strange. Almost theatrical and sometimes won't even play microphones tunes. As for the other stuff, I'm afraid the only way to wire Reason directly to your sequencer is with Rewire. So you'll have to ditch Bias if this is really important to you. You've probably heard of cubase and logic etc. but Cubase SL really does seem like a good deal ( I'm partial to Cubase cause I already know how to use it). If you really want to work in the sequencer first and then Reason you could always export what you have in Bias and then import that into Reason via the NN-XT sampler but that has some limitations as you can imagine. Then there's the other way I explained before about working in reason first and then exporting your song or loops. then importing those into Bias. I think this is the info your looking for. Hope it helps.
