Re: Is there anything superior to the Scream4 Tape in the VST world?

I really like Softube Tape, got it a while back for $50 and it’s been my go to tape plugin. Just got Waves J37 also as a freebie after spending $50 on their site but haven’t had a chance to use it yet. Seems to be pretty popular as well. Airwindows makes some good tape emu’s also, just gotta route t...

Re: Your 5 favorite Reason/Rack Extension synths?

Yes, these don't get enough attention. I have them both but it's been a long time since I used them. Liked the pedals on supernova but the synth itself just put me off buying it. Didn’t like harmonic either. JP effects in the other hand are awesome so I’ve got them all. Yea well, to each his own! :...

Harrison Mixbus 6

Anyone here mixing in Mixbus 6? Thinking of picking up their current offer of Mixbus 6 & 6 plug-ins for $69 but can’t decide if it’s worth learning a new program to mix in. Obviously Reason has its drawbacks when it comes to mixing so it would be nice to find a good and cheap alternative. I’m in the...

Re: making samples sound different?

Transposing, slicing and reprogramming the slices in a different order, reversing the sample or individual slices, time stretching, filtering, glitching, and bit crushing for starters. VST’s like Halftime are a cheap and easy way to make a sample sound different as well.

Re: Announcing Reason 11

I wanted to let a couple of days go by before I came back to post on the subject. From what I see there’s a lot of us here who feel the same way about this “update”. At this point I feel rather indifferent about it. The folks at Reason are going to do what they need to make money, and that’s fine I ...

Re: Announcing Reason 11

You've given up on the DAW side of things, haven't you. and there are more of them than most full version upgrades we've ever done. True. And while curved automation and crossfades are welcome additions, I’m sure a lot of Reason users were hoping for a little more in the way of improvents to the us...

Re: New Drum machine in the shop

Pretty good drum machine at $9! Lots of features and the sequencer is fun to use. The included samples are good but not very modern, at least for more popular types of music. I’d probably use it a lot more if you could load your own samples in each slot. I think this feature alone would attract a l...

Re: Soooo ... what is there left to complain about (2019) ...

I would like an option to make it so that mixer channels and sequencer names stay the same. I use a lot of NN19s for drum hits and it’s a pain to have to name them in both the rack and sequencer. I’ve been using a template for this reason but I don’t always do everything the same. Also really want t...

Using Reason as Batch Sample Converter

Hey, I’m trying to convert a bunch of 24 bit samples to 16 bit for use with my MPC2500. I drag and dropped a number of samples into Reason’s sequencer and to their own mixer channels. My plan was to just bounce all the mixer channels to a new folder, using the end marker in the sequencer to make sur...

Just curious about what some of you use for brass instruments.

Re: Listening to drum track while recording guitar
