(oppologise if this is the wrong board to ask this on)
There seems to be a few music producer-y type people on this forum, i was wondering if any of you could help. I've been making tunes on my laptop for a while now, using mainly Reason, and i want to try mixing my music live.
I can't figure a way of mixing live on Reason alone, could you suggest a way of doing i've not thought of? Or suggest another program i should invest in to help me? Any help would be apreciated

Re: Mixing music live on a Laptop
Yes I would agree with the hippy.
I use Reason when I play at gigs, but I have created a "noise mixer" where I trigger a few sounds to hide the transition between tunes. I have been told that Ableton Live is the answer but I really cant be bothered... lazy.
Maybe you could rewire 2 Reason windows into Cubase. Using a channel on Cubase per Reason. Maybe the internal clock would synchronize the two open versions of Reason?

I seem to recall someone making a performance tool for Reason too, allowing for some live interpretation. Buggered if I can remember what it was called though... I read about it in Computer Music aaaaages ago.
