Re: Apple M2 Studio stupidly powerful, M3 will be ridiculous

Hi Theo, do you have any new comparisons? Are you able to make a real life project of a song, with different plugins and instruments, and check it on both devices? You can create a simple project and duplicate it internally in the project to load daw plus some mastering. Could you do it? What specif...

Re: (World) Melody Advice Needed

I think it depends... it could be a short melody, simple, around four notes; it can be longer if chord progression will appear; it can be an arpeggiated style melo, something like that come to my mind. It can be a great track!

Re: Apple M2 Studio stupidly powerful, M3 will be ridiculous

What I meant was that the key is to properly optimize Windows for DAW, thanks to which the system properly addresses power and speed to drivers and music programs. Maybe in Mac it is the default, but in Windows you need to discover its hidden potential.

It's interesting what you write about scaling. In the context of what you wrote, I will write about my recent experiences. Until recently, I was working on Windows 10 Intel 7940x (14 + hyperthreading), system optimized 2 years ago, maximum settings, Reason using 14 cores or more. I work on large pro...

Re: VST2 vs VST3. What are the differences? Which one is better?

So regarding the topic of the thread, I did a test on a Reason project. My default project with several vst effects from companies such as Softube, Soundtoys, Relab, Plugin Alliance, Valhalla. Until today, the project was based on VST2 effects, so I decided to replace the effects with their VST3 equ...

Re: High RAM usage since last update?

I have similar issue. Load project today with few (4-8) audio tracks and few sampled instruments (piano, strings), some synths and mass of effects plugins, at the beginning Ram usade reaches 23GB, after 20-40min Ram usage drops to 6GB. This isn't the first project I've noticed this. "Song optimizati...

Re: Sudden latency issues

Hello VT698 It can actually be anything. In my opinion, after the problems you describe, the first thing to do is to eliminate the hardware, i.e. reinstall Windows. If there were already problems with the system registry (and they were not solved even by a PC expert), you need to take action. In my ...

Re: Ozone 11

I have production suite with Nectar and Neutron. It is not holy grail or solution for bad mixing, it is not perfect but hel...

Re: Tsar-1 vs 1R

For me the Tsar-1 is a trully fantastic reverb, especially for natural instruments and vocals, but it all depends what will you gain, how deep you like to fiddle with the reverb settings. I think for 40 euros it's a good deal. One thing I miss is the lo cut filter. The question is also how many pres...

Re: Do you use parallel processing in your mixing?

I'd say that puts you into the first option :puf_wink: But do you ever setup a parallel channel with one or more FX on it? I'm experimenting with Andrew Scheps's rear-bus technique myself. As I basically don't use the sends anymore during mixing, I use a send to create the “rear-bus”. One thing to ...

I miss some option for "yes, I use it often...", between options 1 and 2. I use Reason Compression parallel in basically every song, but not super heavy. However, the mix button in various dynamic plugins is often between 5-90%. Recently I used the so-called "back mix buss" and it's an interesting s...

Re: Europa Patches - Chillwave, Lo-Fi, Synthpop and Ambient

I noticed that I keep coming back to your Chill Nights patches. Fantastic job! The more congratulations because I have never been a fan of Europe, now I know that it is mainly due to not very inspiring factory presets. I am waiting for more!
