Reason 5 - Recording MIDI

[DaKrowz]

Forum virgin here so people will have to bare with me. lol. I've just switched from FL to Reason 5 to try something new and so far I think I'm going to like it. My question, being a noob to this software, is can you set things to start recording when you press a key on your midi controller? Like a "wait for input to record" function. Thanks to everyone in advance.

Don't think that's possible, but if timing is the issue you can set a pre-count which gives you a metronome click of one measure before it starts recording.

Just click the "Pre" button on the left side of the transport panel.

open your reason operation manual and read the chapter on remote - if you want to assign a function to a key or a button on your keyboard then you can do it by following the guides in this chapter.
