About Self-Contained Songs (Record+Reason)
The Song is the main file format in Record. A Song contains the device setup and all settings and connections in the
Rack, all Main Mixer Channel settings as well as everything you have recorded in the Sequencer. However, this is not
always sufficient. If you use Reason together with Record and want to open your song on another computer, or send
it to another Record+Reason user, you will also need to include all samples and REX files used by the Reason de-
vices in the Song. To make this easier, Record allows you to create “self-contained” songs. A self-contained song
contains not only the references to the used samples and REX files, but also the files themselves. You can choose
exactly what files should be included in the self-contained song.
q An alternative to self-containing samples and/or REX files could be to bounce Mixer Channels to Audio
Tracks. This way, you could also “convert” ReFill samples to audio so that your song would always sound the
same, no matter on which computer you play it. See “Bouncing Mixer Channels” for details.
To specify what files should be included in the self-contained song, proceed as follows:
