Description
Loops, Grooves and Breakbeats
Powerful sonic building blocks, and great inspirational triggers. No matter what style of music you're into, you can be sure there's a loop out there that can spice your track up a little, or even lift it to completely new heights. But handling loops and grooves equals hard work. Hours of pitching and stretching just to get a loop to fit your song's tempo and timing. And if you need to change the key, you're in for even more work. In the end, your loops are controlling you, instead of vice versa. But help is on its way. From Propellerhead Software comes a suite of programs that gives you full creative control over your looped material!

Welcome to ReCycle 2.1 -- The Ultimate Toolkit for Sampled Grooves.

What does ReCycle do?
ReCycle goes way beyond simply solving groove problems and cleaning up your loop act -- it's a highly creative tool that helps you make the most of your grooves. In simple terms, ReCycle lets you do with sampled loops what you can do with beats programmed from individual drum sounds - like alter the tempo, or replace sounds and process them individually. ReCycle turns concrete-rigid loops into musical modeling clay, allowing you, the loopist, to do pretty much what you desire.

How is it done?
Start out with a regular audio file or sample, preferably one of a rhythmic nature. Load the groove into ReCycle, and the program will

"Give Reason a Buddy..."
Feature:
Very useful product to couple with Reason. You can slice, chop, pitch up/down, change tempo, and edit particular sections.

Quality:
I have no complaints

Value:
I think its a good buy but it does need to come down in price. You can do some of the things with a work around in reason but this makes it a quick process without spending too much time finding a round about way of getting to a finished product

Desirability:
its software. enough said.

Sound:
If you have Reason this is a must. Truly replicates whatever you put into to it chop up.

Ease of Use:
Im still in the learning stage (thats why my rating isnt going into much detail), but so far it has been easy for me to do minor things. I also received a Line 6 Reason tutorial which gives extensive information on tips tricks and basic uses of Reason and all of its applications including Recycle. Just havent had the time to view it yet.

Support:
You can get help online at their website at propellerheads.se from many of the experienced users who seem to always offer suggestions and a helping hand. I visited the site often to ask questions about Recycle to make sure it would be a good purchase and many of the forum heads were quite helpful. I havent had to call customer service so this only applies to the forum dwellers.

Overall:
It does help me get to other aspects of music creation. I think its a must have for all you Reason owners. Its like having a gun with a laser attachment. Just dont kill yourself in the process.

"Great, utilitarian, piece of software."
Overall:
With about three clicks you can take audio you've recorded from a record, slice it up, and export as a soundfont which automatically maps each sample to a key. Record a drum break. ReCycle will make a midi file of it, which you can open in your sequencer and edit. It will also give you each individual hit mapped to its own key. Its brilliant. I just made a great beat out of my keys.
