{Rewire Collabo - pt. 2}

Step 4

1. In Reason, make a note of the Tempo of your beat.
   
2. Save your Reason session and quit out of Reason.
3. Find your folder called your name_collabo1_audio.
4. Put a copy of collabo1_audio in your folder on the Shared Media folder.

Step 5

1. Look at the person on your left. Ask him if he put a copy of his collabo1_audio folder in the Shared Media folder. If he says no, tell him to hurry up! If he says yes, go on to The next step.
2. Find your partner's collabo1_audio folder in Shared Media and copy it to your computer.
3. Ask your partner what the Tempo of his beat was.
   

Step 6

1. Launch Pro Tools.
2. Start a new session.
3. In the New Session window, set the Sample Rate to 44.1 kHz, and the Bit Depth to 16 bit. Name the session: your name_collabo1
4. Now Import your partner's audio files and put them on new tracks.
5. Change the Tempo of the session by double-clicking on this little red triangle in the timeline. Change it to whatever your partner said his beat was.
6. Change the Mode to Grid.
7. Find where it says Grid and click on the triangle next to the green numbers. Click on Bars and Beats.
8. Find where it says Nudge and click on the triangle next to the green numbers. Click on Bars and Beats. You should then see a grid that is exactly on point with your audio files.
9. Listen to the beat. In the Mix Window, make any adjustments to the volume of the track.
   
10. Copy out the different instruments to create a beat that is at least 24 bars long.

Step 7

1. In your PT session, create 1 new Stereo Aux Input. (Track>New Track)
2. In the Mix Window, find the Inserts section and click on one of the double-arrows to insert a plugin.
3. Click on Reason. (Multi-channel>Instrument>Reason).
4. You should now have a Reason session that is running in connection with Pro Tools. Do a Save As and call this: your name_
5. Using at least 4 melodic instruments (NNXTs, Thors, etc.) in Reason, create a full song based on your partner's drums. DO NOT replace these drums with your own! Make sure this song has some kind of flow - at the very least, there should be an Intro, a buildup of some sort and an Outro/Conclusion.
   
6. Save the Reason beat.
7. Save the Pro Tools session.
