Re: Reason Intro Players in Logic Pro

The Logic arpeggiator is pretty good. I prefer it to the Reason one.

Re: Audio interface? In the box......

If you have active monitors, how do you get sound to them? Via headphone jack? An external audio interface will (most probably) give you higher quality digital to analog converters, and balanced outputs.

What is the issue with updating to .7/.8?

Re: Thinking of going to Logic Pro from Suite

I just tried this in Logic. Track->New Track (have open library selected) Track is created with "Inst 1" name. As soon as I click on a patch in the library it renames the track to the Library patch name. I'm not saying its as slick as Reason as I've forgotten how Reason works. If you ever need to r...

Re: Thinking of going to Logic Pro from Suite

I switched from Reason to Logic, and it's the best thing I've done music wise. Logic is very optimised on Mac (unsurprisingly) so your computer will work a lot better than with Reason. There's nothing fancy about the interface, and it's easy to remove a lot of bits you don't use from the main view. ...

Re: OS Big Sur

But I guess it is part of their business model to force and lure users to buy new products just to keep up with their froggy OS changes. But this is imho not the point. Musicians on Apple hardware are accustomed to be way behind the "state of the art". Many of those who I know are still on Mojave (...

Re: Apple Silicon / M1

Fabfilter plugins run natively on M1, as does Nexus. Reaper runs in M1 as well, if you dislike Logic. And ProTools is supposedly on the way.

It's only been a couple of months, give it until next summer and I guess you'd be fine moving over. Whether Reason will run natively is a different question.

What I like (about using RRP in Reaper versus Reason DAW):
- Super CPU efficient. I can run many more devices, it's like having a PC upgrade!
It's the same in Logic. My old Macbook was struggling with Reason, but switching to Logic uses much less CPU. Saved me buying a new computer.

Nonetheless here's the first music benchmark video. Only caveat is he compares to a top i9 iMac.

That mini is only only 8gb as well, so it seems, if you're using Logic at least, the M1 is a big leap forward.

What's the CPU usage like? Low like Sylenth1, or higher like Serum?
Check out Popeye’s comment earlier in the thread.
Ah, "Some are the preset patches are quite cpu intensive". With my old computer I think I'll stick with Sylenth1.

Re: Vital is out, basic version is free

Has someone tried it within Reason 10 ? Does it work ok there ? 10.4 here. Works like a charm... It is a bit "light" on the presets, but then the price is light too. The synth, so far, is very good, has that Serum clean sound and punch. What's the CPU usage like? Low like Sylenth1, or higher like S...
