Reason Tutorial: Importing, Editing, and Playing MIDI files in Reason

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

If someone use the Reason rack in FL then would the midi mach up when We loud the same devices in Reason?

@@HOLLASOUNDS hey man, good to hear from you! Yes, they would. I actually did that experiment with some Rob Pappin instruments if you have the same instrument loaded on one versus the other and the same patch of course then yes you get the exact same thing the only thing you might bump into which seem to happen, a couple of the instruments for some reason somehow the octaves got whacked… Like my base sound from Cubas imported into reason instead of being an A1 it was an A4… Which was very strange so I had to transpose it down, but the notes were there they were the wrongso I mean yes it is possible to do that. Thanks for asking a question man. I appreciate it. I hope you’re doing awesome and if I don’t get to talk to you soon, I hope you enjoy your holidays… They are approaching once again.

@Cap10NRGMusic I think We should be exporting midi for every project both a multi midi and single midi format, which is something important to note that they are not the same thing. A multi midi file saved all midi data in a project all channels and all modulation but that is not what We want if We want to just have the note data. This midi packs they just have the single midi from a single channel track out so for that your going to cut just the midi no modulation onto a new channel export that as a loop on its own. I'm good, I'm just working out how to do better video's but in a organised way that doesn't take to much time and effort. I watched this How to grow on KZbin vid that said there's 4 different categories 1 Hero content which focus in a experience, 2 Tutorial channel's, 3 documentary or story telling channels 4 Reaction channels. I have been doing all of these on My channel and apparently thats very had, so now I need to just pick one and do that, and apparently My channel would do better. The most successful videos on My channel are commentary video whic falls into 3 because it presenting information and a point of view so is like a basic documentary.

@HOLLASOUNDS that’s interesting - the KZbin content info there. I mean - I guess I primarily do help/tutorial videos and I do have some “info/reaction” videos - with a splash here and there of other info but I’ve stuck to those 2 areas mostly. I do t have the time to do documentaries and not really even sure what a hero/experience video is haha. The file that I exported from CUBASE was a multitrack midi file and it included modulation so it wasn’t just notes. I like how it actually kept the titles of the tracks with it, I haven’t exported midi in a long time for any practical reason anyway, but I don’t recall when I used to do it in the 90s and early 2000s if the names of the tracks came with it. Or maybe they just want imported on the receiving end, not sure. When you export MIDI from CUBASE there are a bunch of options, I guess more like a handful. You can select a few different options and get different types of files out of it. You can choose PPQ. Just notes. Oh and tracks that are muted in CUBASE don’t get exported- interestingly.

@Cap10NRGMusic Hero content is like this "I try this new synth asnd made a creazy beat" they are showing what there doing but its not actually a tutorial. Documentary style includes research video or videos where your focused on sharing a opinion and showing why you have that opinion but is not a reaction video. The video where I talk about Akai being out of date and using ild technology is a bassic documentary, I make a points, show and talk about why I have that opinion or point of view and the evidence I have for that opinion or point of view.

@Cap10NRGMusic Midi format hasn't changed from the 80s, and yes there was always single midi files sith just one line of data and multi midi files which have multiple tracks, modulation and names. Multi midi files are what make those self playing or musical toys work, and play songs while moving around or do a action, seen allot in Christmas toys.
