nice one tobes mate, i got it into rycyle in the end, had to convert it to a pcm file with a converter of the web.. now i gotta figure out tempo change in recycle.. dont suppose you know where i can get instructions for recycle

[Tobes]

recycle is easy mate, i can tell you how to do that, when you load a sample into recycle you need to use the sensetivity and pull the sensetivity button to about 70%, what you have to understand is recycle doesnt change tempo's, its chopps samples and moves the samples into the correct position to get the bpm you want, so yu cant get a vocal to fit a tempo in recycle, its mainly for beats.


heres how it works:


load a beat and pull the sensetivity to around 70% you will notice track points apear at te highest peaking parts of a wave, by chopping the sample up you can move each sample in time with a bpm, make sure yu tell the recycle the exact amount of bars the loop is, if the loop isnt perfect move the left and right locater till the loop is exact, then you can switch on the other parts of recycle, you will notice some on and off buttons, having told recycle how many bars the loop is, and having pulled the sensetivity to 70% recycle can now change the bpm, so in the new section youve enabled you can enter the bpm you want, now you can save these samples in different ways, either save each sample seperately by exporting the wavs to a specific folder youve made, or you can save it as a rex file (recycle file) or you can send the samples direct to a sampler, i dont use reason so i dont know if it works with rex files, but im sure it will allow wavs? (well hopefully)


sorry im in a bit of a rush right now, if what i just said didnt make sense i will try and explain it to you better tommorow, but remember recyle doesnt change the tempo, its just moves sounds to the right place coinsiding with the bpm you choose.


good luck mate:smiley2:Edited by: Tobes

when your using recycle mate, just make sure the loop is perfect, if its not move the left and right loacaters till it is, when it is count the bars and beats and add that up top as soon a you do the tempo will apear, now pull over the sensitivty slider and watch all the locators apear i fond around 70% is normally enough, now change your bpm to what you like, when your happy with that, you can save it as a rex file, or exprt as wav and it will save each sample seprately so you can load it into sampler and use the midi file as a map of the beats.


good luck matey http://www.itstooloud.com/smileys/smiley10.gif
