Creating a New Song
To create a new song, select New from the File menu. This makes a new
song document window appear.
➜ By default, the new song will contain one instrument device of each
kind, along with a mixer and two send effects.
If you want to start with another selection of devices (or an empty rack),
you can customize your default song, as described below.
✪ An alternative to creating a new song would be to open one of the
templates found in the Template Songs folder (within the Reason
program folder).
Creating a Default Song
If you often start off with the same set of devices, patches, patterns and set-
tings, you may want to create your own custom default song.
1. If you like, copy the original default song (named Default Song.rns)
from the Reason program folder to another location.
For example, you may want to keep this if you like the default patterns
programmed for the Redrum device.
2. Select New from the File menu to create a new song document win-
dow.
3. Add/remove devices and make settings as desired.
Typically, you may want the default song to contain your choice of de-
vices and possibly some patterns. You could also make some special
routing between devices, or even add some sequencer data.
4. Save the song in the Reason program folder under the name “De-
fault Song.rns” (but without the quotes).
The next time you launch the program or select New from the File menu,
the new song document will contain the devices and settings you made.
