So with the samples I put up from the 18-4-09, Ben has sent me a file that he has PLAYed with.
here's what he sent:
What I did:
I loaded up the file 07.mp3 into Audacity and went through it exporting some rough loops and sounds. In turn I loaded these into Recycle and pushed the sensitivity slider up until I had enough useful markers. I then edited some of the markers and set loop points on each of the samples and saved each loop as a REX file.
Having done this I started a new file in Reason.
First I inserted an M-Class Mastering suite and then a 14:2 mixer. I did it in this order so that the mixer would automatically be chained through the Mastering suite and to outputs 1+2.
Next I created a Redrum Drum machine and started go through the slices of the REX files I had created, choosing hits to use to create some new loops. Once happy with the hits I had chosen I proceeded to create a few loops out of them. I loaded one sample up four times (beatbass.rx2(10)) and changed the pitch of each individual one so that I could create a rhythm with pitch varyation.
Now I created another Redrum and loaded up the same bass sound several times and again changed the pitch of each one so that I could program a bassline using the drum machine. I found that by varying the lengths of the samples a natrual groove emerged.
For the awwwshit sample I loaded up an NNXT sampler and simply loaded up the file that I'd previously exported from Audacity.
As if I didn't already have enough Drum machines I finally create a third one and programmed a simple Kick Snare beat also using hits from one of my REX files. I then created a reverb as a send effect on the mixer, chained the aux outputs from the third Redrum to the aux sends from the mixer and sent both snares to it. Then I enabled the gate on the reverb and tweaked it to create a bit of a gated reverb.
Finally I created a couple of M-Class Mastering suites for the bassline and the kick snare beat to go through and that was that.

Thanks to Ben for participating in this project.
Here's his files
Ben has also sent the reason file, if anyone wants a look
