About this Chapter
This chapter describes the settings you need to make before you can start using Reason. These are nec-
essary in order to get any sounds to and from the program and to be able to play and control Reason via
MIDI.
First run - Reason Setup Wizard
If you followed the instructions correctly in the last chapter, Reason should be running, and the first dialog
in the “Reason Setup Wizard” guide should be open.
This only appears the very first time the program is run.
! Note that the Language page only appears in the Windows version of Reason. In Mac OS
X, the selected system language is automatically used.
! Note that any settings made in the Setup Wizard can always be changed later in the Pref-
erences!
D Clicking Next will take you through a series of dialogs, where the following happens:
• The Setup Wizard will first try to find a compatible audio driver.
It will automatically select the first compatible driver it finds. If this is the driver you wish to use, fine. If
it isn’t, select your preferred driver from the Audio Card Driver pop-up. If you don’t know which driver to
use, see “Setting up the Audio Hardware” on page 19.
! To get both inputs and outputs in the same driver under Mac OS X 10.4, it is required that
you create an Aggregate Device. For information on how to do this, please see “If you are
using the built-in audio hardware in your Macintosh” on page 13.
D Next, Reason will try to auto-detect a master keyboard.
If one is found and you want to use this, click “Use” and proceed.
! For Reason to auto-detect a device you need two-way MIDI communication! Non-USB
keyboard devices without a MIDI input can of course still be added manually.
! Note that your keyboard model might not be auto-detected by Reason, even though it’s a
modern one and connects via USB. However, you can still use such a keyboard to control
Reason and use Remote in the same way as with an auto-detected keyboard.
