From there we had to set the parameters in the sampler bank so they could be played on the synthesizer plugged into the computer. This would create an instrument that could be played in real-time and then recorded on Reason before being exported as an AIFF file.
To create the quote I had to use Orator, a speech program. The quote became a sound file which was then opened in Peak. I created regions which represented small portions of the quote. These portions where of such a size that they only contained one or two syllables of a word.
At first, I tried to set the parameters myself, but forgot and failed. However, I talked to Christian and he showed me how. I was then on my way again.
Once the parameters were set, I mucked around with the settings of the sounds. The moment I saw the "portamento" knob my eyes gleamed. I turned it all the way up and proceeded to record my crazy collaboration of crap!
Below is a screen dump of my Reason edit window:

Overall, it was a great and enjoyable assignment. I was impressed by the ability to play around with the knobs and buttons while recording a song in Reason. A great week indeed!

The panning in your tune is nice. It makes a good overture for many albums , I think. Good job.
Cool. Better than mine. Great job.
Great stuff, Ben. Things are coming together and you are developing your own quirky style as you become more comfortable and creative with the tools that you behold!
