Friday Quiz 10/24

In today's quiz you will be remixing a sample from a popular TV show's theme song.

This will test your ability to change Dr. Rex sample loops using both PITCH and TIME. And in creating a 32 step Redrum drum beat that goes with the sample.

  1. Go into the Pickupdropoff folder and find the Dr. Rex file called Dora.rx2. (Pickupdropoff>Runde>Pickup>Samples>Dora.rx2). Drag a copy to your folder.
  2. Open Reason
  3. Create a Dr. Rex
  4. Click on the "Folder" in the upper left hand corner.
  5. Select the Dora sample from your folder.
  6. Click "TO TRACK"
  7. Now we want to adjust the PITCH and TIME of the sample.
  8. To do this we need to change two things:  To change the Time, change your Tempo. Set it to anything except what it says on the Dr. Rex.
  9. To change the Pitch, use the keyboard on the Dr. Rex to change the pitch of your sample up or down.
  10. Now create a Redrum and make a 32 step drum pattern using a Clap/Snare, Bass Drum, Hi Hat, and Percussion. 
  11. Create a Dr. Rex. Load a Percussion Loop and adjust the PITCH. Put it "TO TRACK."
  12. Save your beat as "(your name)_Quiz 10-24"
  13. Put a copy in the Dropoff folder to get credit!!!  (Pickupdropoff>Runde>Dropoff>Period 5)
Have a great weekend!
