General question about production

[djflan]

Hey I just joined the forums. I am the proud new owner of a Virus TI Snow.

I have questions regarding producing, most of which involves my abandon of Reason. I am producing melodic trance. Track structure is not an issue, I know the elements. In reason I am used to creating short clips, then copying and pasting them.

Because Reason has no way of MIDI Out/VST/Audio Recording capability, I have turned to Sonar as my DAW. I am wondering how you guys put together tracks. Do you record short clips, or entire tracks at once. What about transposing, etc?

Any advice at this point would be helpful.

- Thanks
