i looked in the manual, and i must be blind, cause i can't find out how to put on a precount. i want my standard 2 beat precount b4 it starts going...thanks for the quick advice!
RIPassion
Can you explain a precount? I can probably help but I've never heard that term before =\

Don't think it's possible, not without Rewiring it to Cubase and having Cubase taking care of the "pre-roll" (which is what I think it's technically called).

"Pre-roll" is just a count in of X number of bars before the song starts playing, to answer RIP's question. It's sometimes useful for syncing equipment/software together that sometime has a bit of lag (I get a bit when Rewiring Reason and Rebirth to Cubase).
RIPassion
Oh gotcha. Not aware of that in reason. When you complete a track though, you can of course select everything in the sequencer and move it over however long you want your beginning-of-song precount to be, but I don't think there's any option beyond that (maybe in 3.0? I'm still in 2.5)
RIPassion
Well, I just thought of a way you can do that. If you know your lag count for your stuff is exactly 82 Milliseconds, you could make the entire mix go through a DDL-1 delay, with Dry/Wet at 100% and no feedback with a ms delay of 82, and everything would play 82 milliseconds later.

<--smrt :P

Create your song, then in the sequencer window select every track's events and move them over 2 beats (so the song would start at 1.03.01)

If it says "Bar" just change the "divide by" dropdown box to 1/2 and then commence with the moving,

Dont think there's an easier way.
