SAMPLING (RECORD+REASON)

Saving samples in a song
When you have recorded a sample, either by clicking a Sample button on a sampler device or on the Song Samples
tab in the Tool Window, the sample is automatically stored in the All Self-contained Samples folder in the Tool Win-
dow.
The samples you have recorded are automatically named “Sample ‘n’” where ‘n’ is a serial number.
You can rename a sample by double clicking it in the All Self-contained Samples folder, renaming it in the Edit Sam-
ple Window and then clicking the Save button.
As soon as you save your song, all samples you have recorded will be automatically saved as self-contained samples
in the song document. This way you don’t have to keep track of any “loose” samples on your computer.
Deleting samples from a song
It’s only possible to delete samples you have recorded yourself in a Reason song, i.e. samples that are located in the
All Self-contained Samples folder in the Tool Window. Samples from the Factory Soundbank and from ReFills cannot
be deleted because they are contained in ReFills. However, you can delete shortcuts to ReFill samples in the As-
signed Samples folder in the Tool Window if you like.
D To delete a sample in the All Self-contained Samples folder, select it and click the Delete button.
An alert appears asking you to confirm or cancel deletion.
! If you select a shortcut icon (in the Assigned Samples folder or Unassigned Samples folder) that points to a
sample in the All Self-contained Samples folder, clicking the Delete button and confirming the deletion will
permanently erase the original sample!
