Importing large media files into Reason

When a media file is too large to be imported, you need to import it into Reason in a slightly more roundabout way. Here's how to do it:

  1. Log in to your home directory
  2. If this is the first time you have imported media into Reason this way, create a directory in your home folder and give it the name "streaming_media". If you have done this before, there should already be a folder called streaming_media in your home folder, so you can skip this step.
  3. Place the media file or files you want to import into the streaming_media folder.
  4. Go back to your Reason window and refresh the page. The files you placed in the streaming_media folder should be listed as options under "Import file."
