3. At the middle of this page, there is a section entitled “Default Song”.
You have three choices: “Empty Rack”, Built In” and “Custom”.
Select which one you want to use by clicking the corresponding radio button.
• Empty Rack - This is an empty rack. Well, almost empty, since it contains the Reason hardware inter-
face.
• Built In - When this is selected, launching Reason will open a basic demo song. Selecting “New”
from the File menu will open a template song with a few devices to start with, but no sequencer data.
Note that it is not possible to open these songs by regular means - via the browser - since they are
not “independent”.rns-files, and thus do not reside anywhere in the Reason folder.
• Custom - This allows you to select a custom default song. Any Reason song can be used, so if you
often create songs using the same or similar device setups, you can use a previously created song
as the default song. This way, all new songs you create will have the same device setup.
D To select a custom default song, click the Folder icon to the right and browse to the de-
sired Reason song.
The name of the selected song will then be displayed in the text box.
