Propeller Head Beta Testing Opportunity (Page 1 of 2)

If anyone is interested in participating, please let me know via PM or email, and I'll forward along the invite codes.   

Hi Jerome.....Doh!!!

Sorry I didn't read your post a little closer. I was trying to sneak the post in at work and that's a no-no.

Any-who... I'm guessing there gone now, so maybe if you still have one Russ, I be real interested in trying it out.
Thanks

Kenny

Alright!

Russ and Kap got my two.  It looks as if you get two to give away with every registration, so there should be more, if those two decide to share.

Anyone on Line6's email distribution list should get an invitation. Email me and I'll forward the email I just received. I just bought Mixcraft a few months back. I'm not interested in switching just yet.

thanks russ...we may give it a go saturday

I have the same problem Russ, so I carried on to check the system out without doing any recording. Man!!! this is one big program. Let me know how you make out with the audio signal issue. Maybe I missed a step.

I still have two to give away to the first two to Email me.

Alrightalright...

I finally had a few minutes last night to play with this thing.  Couple of observations...

1. It absolutely helps to be familiar with Reason.  Reason's patching capabilities are unmatched, but you need to know how a sound board would be wired in a studio in order to understand it.  If you have a moment, hit the TAB key while looking at the effects rack.  It will change the view to the "back" of the rack so you can see the cables connecting everything.    Understanding Reason's autorouting will help immensely.

2.  Still very USB focused.  I could work it with my MIDI keyboard, but no luck with the internal mic.

3.  Access to all the goodness that is Reason's effects bay is going to make you really, really, happy once you figure out how to use it. 

There are a number of stereo to USB interfaces available that would plug into a USB interface.

It would surprise me if you can't get it hooked up to the internal mic, though.   Reason is a sequencer, so it's heavily USB/MIDI oriented, so it's not surprising that recording analog inputs isn't quite as intuitive.  I'm sure they'll figure it out.

OK I have this figured out.

So the problem is simply one of audio drivers.  Record is set up to use ASIO drivers, which if you have a Windows box, is probably not installed.

The good news is that there is a really good free ASIO implementation you can install, and never have to worry about again.

http://www.asio4all.com/

Install that.

Once that's done, start up Record.

You'll get a new document.

Click on the Edit menu, then select "Preferences"

In the "Audio Card Driver" selection box, you should see "ASIO ASIO4ALL"

Select that, then close out that dialog.

You should see signal coming in on the transport monitors.

I'm at work right now, so I can't really sing into the thing, but I will when I get home. 

You need never provide any justification for going to the beer store.

The means is justified by the end. 

This download will not work on vista only on xp there is a download for vista and I tried it but theres more involved the vista version is usb supported I tried the audacity program after downloading and installing and it failed to open one possibility is to get a memory stick and download the folder to it and run this program on my xp but im not sure it will execute the startup on it back to square one hopefully some really brite member will help RIDDLER,DOUG,DEVON MOSES (im desparate)
