This quiz is happening this Friday! I have a special sample prepared for you guys to turn into some classic beats! Lets get some practice in today.


  1. Open Reason
  2. Make sure you have a Mixer 14:2
  3. Create a Dr. Rex
  4. Click on the "Folder" in the upper left hand corner.
  5. Pick a Dr. Rex Instrument Loop or a Music Loop.
  6. On the Dr. Rex click TO TRACK
  7. Now we want to adjust the PITCH and Time of the sample.
  8. To do this, you will need to do two things. Change your tempo. And transpose the sample on the Dr. Rex keyboard. To have a high pitch, click to the right. To have a low pitch, click to the left.
  9. If you choose a high tempo you might want to transpose the sample to a higher note.
  10. If you have a slow tempo you might want to transpose the sample to a lower note.
  11. After you get your sample sounding the way you want it, it's time to add some drums that goes with the sample.
  12. Create a Redrum and make a 32 step drum pattern using a Clap, Bass Drum, Hi Hat, and Percussion. Make sure you put the sounds on the correct boxes!
  13. On the Redrum, Copy Pattern To Track.
  14. Create a Dr. Rex. Load a Percussion Loop and adjust the PITCH. Put it "To Track."
