Dr. Rex assignment

Today you are going to continue working with the Dr. Rex and practice using it to enhance your own original beats. Basically, what I want you to do is to make an original beat with the Redrum and another instrument (NN19/Subtractor/Malstrom).

This assignment will be graded as a quiz, so be sure to turn it in!

Here is your assignment:

1. Open Reason and make a new file (File>New)
2. Create a Redrum and quickly make a new drum pattern
3. Create an NN19/Subtractor/Malstrom and record a simple melody or bass line over the drums.
4. Now copy both the drums and the melody so that they end on Bar 17.
5. Create a Dr. Rex and load a loop from the Percussion loops that sounds good with your beat. (Reason Factory Soundbank>Dr Rex Percussion loops)
6. Move your markers so that the L marker is on Bar 13 and the R marker is on Bar 17.
7. Click the To Track button on your Dr. Rex to put the loop into your song.
8. Now move the L marker to Bar 17 and the R marker to Bar 25.
9. Create another Dr. Rex and load a loop from the Drum Loops folder (Reason Factory Soundbank>Dr Rex Drum Loops).
10. Click the To Track button on your Dr. Rex to put the loop into your song.
11. Create one more Dr. Rex and load a loop from the Instrument Loops folder (Reason Factory Soundbank>Dr Rex Instrument Loops)
12. Click the To Track button on your Dr. Rex to put the loop into your song.
13. Move the L marker to Bar 1 and hit play. Listen to how the beat changes up.
14. If you like it, save it to your folder as "(your name)_Dr Rex2.rns".
15. To turn this in, drag a copy of your file to the Dropoff folder: Pickupdropoff>Runde>Dropoff>Period 5.

Have a great weekend!
