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 :)

First postings

Here is a sample of my photoshop work. It was made in Adobe Photoshop CS4 and inspired by water color painting. I was watercolor painting on paper when someone bumped me and made a big flower like splat on the paper, liking the results a did some work in photoshop on it.

I drew this on paper and scanned it into photoshop to see what I could do with my drawings in photoshop, the results were better than I expexted, though I think a had a little to much fun with the lighting, and also the shading could be off too... Anyway all of this is done without a tablet, so some of the lines might be a little too straight, however now that I'm going to UVU that shouldn't be a big problem.

Just Starting

Hi,

    I'm just starting this blog for college, I'm new to this sort of thing but maybe that doesn't really matter since a blog is all about you anyway, I don't believe that there are any set rules to this so... Here goes, in this blog i'll be posting projects that I complete on my own. The assignments I do might be for college however, I believe the majority of them will be completed on my own. What kind of projects? Multimedia Projects, I love multimedia, it is my passion!

     The software I used will be posted with every post. I haven't decided on my select medium yet so at first there will be a variety of mediums all over the scale of multimedia. From Videos to Music, Pictures and, so on. I hope whoever's out there watching or following enjoys my blog!

Thanks!
