How to Create a decent sounding small Choir in Reason 4

In a new document:
1. Create a combinator (Right click, create- combinator)

2. Create a Mixer 14:2 inside the combinator

3. Create- create instrument- Reason Factory Sound Bank- ALL Instruments- Voice and Choir- Synthetic Mezzo FVox. Name this "Female Choir."

4. Change the mod wheel on the female choir synth to around half, I used 64 and set the portamento to "Auto" (this makes it so you can slur notes that overlap). Change the pan for the female choir on the mixer (should be chanel 1) to around -20 to -30, I used -22. Now on the Mixer there's an area that says "Bass" and "Treble", on the area that says "Trebble" turn the dial above to around 20, I used 18 then turn the bass dial to around -20 I used -18.

5. Create- create instrument- Reason Factory Sound Bank- ALL Instruments- Voice and Choir- Synthetic Tenor MVox. Name this "Male Choir." Use all the same settings as the Female choir except on the Mixer use the opposites. Example: the trebble dial should be -18 (or whatever number you used).

6. Turn AUX dials on the mixer to 127 on both chanels. Right click on the mixer- create- create effect- Reason Factory Sound Bank- ALL Effect Patches- Reverb- ALL DarkStrsHall.

7. On both the female and male choir synthesizers right click create- UN-16 Unison set the detune dial to around 60-70. Make sure the voice count is set to 16 and the Dry/wet dial is at 127 (these should be default settings).

and you're done! :)

this is on page 39 of my sketchbook how cool is that Anyway I am making a seperate section for my sketch book since page 39 is towards the begining of my sketchbook ^_^

I love the expression I was able to pull off on this picture also the structure of his face and the positions of both the puncher and the punchee :P

please Please PLEASE!!! Feedback! I learn best on a "give to grow basis" a very wonderful creative writing teacher I had in high school once told me (and the rest of the class) we all have cups that we hold our knowledge in and eventually our cups get full, so the only way to learn anything more, is to dump what we know out to others.

Anyway, blah, blah, blah... The basic point is to be heard and seen by others, I want to develop and improve my talents and share what I know with other people. So anyone out there comment so I can do that, okay Okay.

Song stuck in head

You know that song "Creep" by Radiohead? Well I have had that song stuck in my head for a while. I guess the difference between me and another person would be that when I get a song stuck in my head I get on my computer and figure out how to play it on www.ultimateguitar.com (great website if you somehow managed not to hear about it already). Anyway, this time playing the song wasn't doing it for me so I opened up reason and started this song. And that pretty much sums it up to now. It's unfinished, but it's to the point now  where I don't mind sharing it with whoever's out there listening.

Here is the original song if you haven't heard it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFkzRNyygfk

The video is actually just a sound file, just so you know.

Enjoy and please: if you stumble on this blog give me feedback on my works :)
