[Seanp]

First of I would like to say hello to everyone here, I just made an account about an hour ago and was just browsing around the site and forums! My name is Sean, I'm 16 years old, and I'm pretty new to music production. I believe i am pretty good with computers and software, and have always been making some kind of movies with my buddies "ALWAYS A BLOODY ACTION MOVIE". And im almost always working in Final Cut Studio, Adobe After Effects, Autodesk 3d max, Maxons Cinema 4d, Autodesk Matchmover and a bunch more, which all can be very difficult to learn. And now a lot of time spent in Reason 5.
____________________________IF YOU'VE READ TO HERE_______________________________

So now with my question: (FINALLY)----A few days ago i bought the Blue Yeti USB microphone and its not going to well for me within Reason,(And i know the mic works cause every other program that can record from a mic found my Yeti right away, including Garage Band "By The Way, Im on a mac. Imac. Ive searched for a solution all over the internet with no luck. The only thing ive seen on it was to create an "Aggregated Device" in "Audio MIDI Setup" (Found in utilities I think) Well Ive tried that a bunch of times probally about 15 times Hahaha, each time it didnt work i would try another configuration until trying the same configurations over again............ .........with no luck. So if anybody can help me out or give me some advise it would be great. Thanks "Oh Yeah And Sorry For The Long Read, I Just Felt Like I Had To introduce my self to the community!!

Are you trying to record audio into reason 5? If so I don't think its possible.

Well im trying to sample sound from my mic to use the sound i record in a software instrument, and im positive you can do that ,oh and I forgot to mention in my post, "if it will help at all "that I have actually got Reason to record audio when in "preferences" I chose the mic as the audio device under the audio tab. But than i cant here anything in the program for some reason, not even the recording, i just new it was actually recording because when i sampled from my microphone i saw the waveforms in the sample recorder which I have never seen until that but if i try switching it back the audio still doesn't play

The USB Mic isn't going to be an option for any serious recording, and if I'm correct, not an option at all for a program like Reason. You have to get yourself an audio interface (such as an M-Audio Fast Track Pro), and a regular studio Mic (MXL Mics start at $99.00). Only thing that does is allow you to sample into the devices. Reason + Record allows you to record audio tracks in. Now, if you upgrade to Reason 6, that will be good, as it will combine Reason and Record together into one program.
