q If quantizing the audio clip isn’t applicable (e.g. due to playing style or type of sound), open the clip inline, se-
lect all Slice Markers and move them slightly to the left in the clip (with Snap off) so that the first note/beat
aligns with the clip start. See the last example in “Selecting Slices and Slice Markers” for info about selecting
and moving Slice Markers.
Using the ReGroove Mixer for MIDI latency compensation
If you are experiencing MIDI latency when playing back recorded MIDI notes to your external instrument, you can
compensate for this by using the Slide function in the ReGroove Mixer. This way you won’t have to move or nudge the
note clip(s) back before recording your external instrument onto an audio track in Reason.
1. Set up your external instrument according to the descriptions in steps 1-4 in “Audio recording of MIDI con-
trolled external instruments”.
2. Make sure the Monitor button on the audio track is on.
3. Assign a ReGroove channel to the External MIDI Instrument track.
In this example we use ReGroove channel A1.
4. Make sure Click is on in the sequencer.
5. Play back the song and turn the Slide knob in channel A1 of the ReGroove Mixer counter-clockwise until your
external instrument plays back in sync with the sequencer click.
