The hats and bass drum are at the constant volume and that spoils everything. I think the goal was to create a beat using Reason, but I think this is just not the correct host for that. Doing the drums in Ableton Live 7 (using Drum Rack, or other plug-in like BFD2 or Superior Drummer) would take the same amound of time, but you will have more control over what you are doing.

I'll try to suggest that to some of our writers. @ SoundofPhilly: Tuts on Thor and ReGroove sound good… I’ll try to suggest that to some of our writers.

I really needed this knowledge. This site ROCKS!!! More tutorials on Reason...I hope. I really would like to learn various uses for Thor and ReGroove...Thanx for sharing.

I know the basics of it but controlling the exact sound is still kinda tough. I usually just do it by ear.
