Swiper No Swiping!

In today's assignment you will be remixing a sample from the Dora the Explorer Theme Song.

This will help you pryour ability to change Dr. Rex sample loops using both PITCH and TIME. And then creating a 32 step Redrum drum beat that goes with the sample.

  1. http://www.transferbigfiles.com/Get.aspx?id=0e8ca5c2-bb6c-496f-a100-3ef649f34980 Click this link & download the Dr. Rex Sample to the Computer. Save it in your folder or on the desktop.
  2. Open Reason
  3. Make sure you have a Mixer 14:2
  4. Create a Dr. Rex
  5. Click on the "Folder" in the upper left hand corner.
  6. Find and Select the Dora sample, it should be on your desktop or your folder
  7. Click "TO TRACK"
  8. Now we want to adjust the PITCH and TIME of the sample.
  9. To do this we need to change two things.
  10. To change the Time, change your Tempo. Set it to anything except what it says on the Dr. Rex.
  11. To change the Pitch, use the keyboard on the Dr. Rex to transpose your sample up or down.
  12. After you get your sample sounding the way you want it, it's time to add some drums that go with the sample.
  13. 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!
  14. On the Redrum, Copy Pattern To Track and Click on the Pattern button.
  15. Create a Dr. Rex. Load a Percussion Loop and adjust the PITCH. Put it "TO TRACK."
  16. Save your beat as (your name) dora practice
