SUPER MOD(ERATOR)
I've been using FL Studio mostly to make beats with but i've been having problems finding inspiring sounds, especially synths. I've got VST's but haven't found anything i can stick with so please don't recommend VST's i can use. I've used Reason a little bit before and even made a beat with it but i only know the very basic functions.
Since is Reaosn's sounds are self contained there's going to be a lot more sounds available than there is for any one VST so i've decided to switch.
I've been wanting to switch to Reason for everything except drum programming (which i will continue to do in FL Studio since it's easier for me, i hate Reason's sequencer) for a while now and have been having some problems. I went through the sounds and realized there wasn't nearly enough melody sounds as i want. I downloaded some ReFills and tried using them in Reason but i'm having a couple problems.
1. Since the different racks use different sound formats i'm having a hard time knowing what rack uses what. I can go through each rack browsing all the different ReFills for the sounds but this seems stupid. Is there a way i can browse all the sounds regarless of format and then open up the rack i need to use that sound or do i have to go through each ReFill with all the different racks?
2. This is the biggest problem. I've found that whenever i want to browse through my ReFills the search box that opens always starts me off in one of the stock Reason ReFills and to get to my own downloaded ReFills i need to click on My Desktop, then My Computer, then click on my external hard drive and then go through about 10 different folders (since i've organised everything on my harddrive) before i get to my ReFills folder. I did this a few times going through different ReFills or using different racks but this is really annoying and pissed me off so much i closed Reason and went back to using FL.
When the search box opens there's a Locations bar on the left that shows some search buttons such as Desktop and shows Reason's stock ReFills. Is there any way i can put all my downloaded ReFills on the Locations bar so i can just double click them and get to the sounds straight away? This option would seem like an obvious one for Propellerhead to implement since using the first way i described is annoying but i haven't found any way to do it. I've gone through the Options/Preferences and haven't found anything. I've tried setting a list with my ReFills on but it wouldn't let me choose any ReFills so the list stayed blank, i've also searched Google, Youtube and FP but haven't found anything. I'm sure somebody knows since i'm finding it hard to believe anybody would go through the first way everytime and wouldn't be really pissed off.
I think i've described my problems pretty well so if you can please help me. If anyone wants i can post some more info.
I'll check every couple hours for replies and respond but thanks in advance.
