Re: Reasonstudios Black Friday Week

Ok, this is strange. The website says that the annual Reason+ subscription code should be valid until midnight tonight (29 Nov). However, when trying to redeem it, I get both a green checkmark as well as red text stating that it is invalid: https://i.imgur.com/Mow1xgI.png Any other late comers exper...

Re: Synapse Audio Black Friday Sale (up to 60% off ) - not only FX anymore

How is the RE-160 compared to Waves dbx160? Anywhere near the ballpark? I haven't used the Waves plugin but RE-160 is an awesome compressor. I put it on drums all the time and it also does a great job at sidechaining. Different question: does Obsession cycle through the different voice boards when ...

Re: Synapse Audio "Obsession" RE - coming soon!

My bad all. I wasn't intentionally spreading misinformation. Perhaps it was something that was different when I joined a few years ago (right before burnout de-railed any capacity to follow through on my dreams of an audio software side hustle). More likely just a crossed wire in my head leading to...

Re: Synapse Audio "Obsession" RE - coming soon!

I'm not sure where you got this idea, as this is patently false. Devs can issue RE licenses at no cost to a user or the dev even if their product is being sold in the shop for a price. All they need is your username for your account. It's really quite simple. :thumbs_up: Well! This changes things. ...

Re: Synapse Audio "Obsession" RE - coming soon!

Not exactly. One is the equivalent of subtracting the RE commission from their gross VST profit. The other would come out of pocket. I am not an accountant or a lawyer but I don't think these are entirely the same from a finance department point of view. They have uniform development platform / fra...

Re: Synapse Audio "Obsession" RE - coming soon!

They don't have to pay anyone a fee to give you a free VST. To give you a free RE they need to pay Reason Studios the percentage of the sale, despite the fact that there was no sale. If VST and RE are the same price, this works the other way too - if someone buys the RE but gets the VST for free, S...

As far as I remember, The Legend VST you can get for free after purchase RE by email to Synapse support. But not the other way around. Therefore, I will wait until RE comes out.

Re: Akai MPC Live / One / X: new 2.8 firmware incoming!

I'm hoping that the delay in the release of the next Force firmware is related to integrated all this awesome MIDI goodness! Always a relief to see a new firmware roll out of the LOUD conglomerate (or whatever they are called these days?), even if it's not for one of the products I currently own.

That is the opposite of my experience. Barely bother loading Arturia instruments but make use of Antidote and effects from my Rig purchases all the time.

Reason within Logic is a total beast now!

To me it was also meant as a reminder to everyone who uses music software that nothing, as of ...

Re: No more NDA!

There is nothing sinister about extracting individual slices of REX files. You can do it in the Reason software itself, it just takes way more time to bounce each note to an individual sample. Yes, of course. I was only thinking about, that there are no tools outside of Reason to handle REX-Files (...

Re: Layers...”just” a rompler? Isn’t it?

Layers and Layers Wave (we are talking about the RS products, right?) have some quick and fun potential for dialing in evolving pads backed by a rhythmic sequence from a different legendary sound source.

Legend vs Monark... I used to think Legend was redundant because I already have Monark. It came included with a bundle and I still didn't really open it.
