New in Reason 5 and Record 1.5 is the sampling feature. In devices that allow the use of samples there is a new icon that resembles an audio wave (Figure 1 indicated in green). When this button is pressed a sampling window is opened that begins recording immediately. Reason and Record automatically assigns an audio input from your computer to be the sampling input if one is available. For PC and mac, "built in input+built in output" should be selected in Reason and Records audio preferences to follow along with this tutorial.
In the rack, second from the top, is the Hardware Interface that contains the Sampling Input, Audio Input, and the Audio Output. If the correct audio inputs are selected, then the audio input being sampled will light up the input slots in the Audio Input section of the Hardware interface(Figure 2).

Depending on your audio settings, Reason and Record will automatically route the first audio input to the sampling input. If the input comes through another channel rather than input channel 1 and 2 the input will need to be manually routed. To do this, flip the rack around and attach the correct "from" audio input channel cables to the Audio Inputs input. The routing should look similar to 'Figure 3' with the exception of where your audio input is coming from.
Now that the correct audio input has been routed to the Sampling Input, Flip the rack back around to check the signals. When you audio intended for sampling is played, its audio input channels and the Sampling Input should light up at the same time (Figure 2). To Ensure that your sampling device is routed correctly, refer to 'Figure 4.'

Now that everything is routed correctly, by pressing the sample button on the selected sampling device (Figure 1), you can start sampling and making SICK new beats!
