teething problems

[psy-fly]

hi, ive just started with reason trying make some nice tunes, but like all beginners im having loads of teething problems. The main one at the moment is that i cant record tweaking the knobs or modulation wheels or anything. its strange because it worked the first time i did it, when i played it back there was a green outline and it moved like i had set. But now recording stuff like this wont work on any other device im using.

I probably just flicked something i wasnt meant to or something, but if anyone has a solution i would be very grateful. also this might be a useful thread for beginners at this sort of thing, maybe it could fasttrack some beginners and foster some hidden talents. Or maybe it could just show me to cop on to something obvious.

either way thanks for any replies

Make sure the little midi symbol is by the unit u are tweaking or recording on. U can only record one channel at a time with 2.5. And make sure whether u set the record setting to overdub or overwrite for what u want to do.

well the recording didnt work but i can draw in the automation with the line drawer thing, yipee!

Does anyone know any places to get samples and refills that are particularly good for psychedelic music?

have a search for Peff and Doru Malaia on the web, maybe not ideal for psy but sure plenty of samples there. The props site has loads of demos which give u some free settings and samples to use. tbh i got a whole load but don't use them, better to get wav rather than refills, more flexibility since u can use them in other programs.
