That 9900K runs mighty hot though, a Dark Rock or even Noctua cannot really tame it, unless you either run it below stock or disable Turbo. Even at stock settings, with Turbo enabled, it easily hits 90°C or even starts throttling in high demand loads. It's been reviewed a thousand times already, to...

Using Noctuas NH-D15, got about 2 mm of free space between the bottom fan and my GPU :S. During the test temps maxed out at 57 C. Bet it'll get even hotter under prolonged use! That NH-D15 is still the best air cooler in the industry (often beating many AIO water coolers). And 57 C is awesome - the...

i9 9900k @ 4,9 GHz Are you overclocking your 9900K, or is that stock turbo clock? If you're overclocking, are you clocking all 8 cores at 4.9 Ghz? What cooler are you using? What are your core temps? Just curious... Thanks! Yes, that's across all cores. I used a preset overclock. Stock is 3,6 GHz i...

Im actually choosing between Dark Rock and Noctuas NH-D15 :) thanks for the advice anyway! You can't go wrong with either. Full disclosure: I'm a huge Noctua "fan" :lol: so I can wholeheartedly recommend it as an alternative. I just can't find a decibel rating for the NH-D15. Any idea how quiet it ...

be quiet!'s BK022 Dark Rock Pro 4 got ScanPro Audio up to a 5 Ghz overclock with some throttling. And if you're not even OC'ing, it'll run it at stock like an ice box.

I'm getting the i9 9900k on sunday if everything goes well. It might very well be the fastest, but not the best. The ludicrous pricing and heat generation holds it back. Got some projects hitting the DSP ceiling, will be interesting how this monster handles it. Currently using an i7 6700k. https://...

I'm getting the i9 9900k on sunday if everything goes well. It might very well be the fastest, but not the best. The ludicrous pricing and heat generation holds it back.

Got some projects hitting the DSP ceiling, will be interesting how this monster handles it. Currently using an i7 6700k.

I'd say it's dependent on what genre i'm producing. If i try synthwave there's typically tons of headroom since all the patches are pretty basic (plain saws', squares, triangles) and require little automation or plugin effects. If i try dubstep or need some gurgly electro basslines things can drasti...

I'm under the impression that mastering is pointless if you are mastering your own tracks. It's a bit like proof reading - you want someone else to do it for you. The errors you find is better off adjusted in the mix. One exception would be if you release a DIY album and want consistent levels and f...

I plan on upgrading to a i7-8700 in the future as I do realize my little i3 has it's weaknesses. I have it liquid cooled and can OC to 4.20Ghz, but I have't had the need to push it for gaming sake. Gotta update those drivers! They are so crucial for properly working gear. Or maybe wait for the new ...

Number one was awesome. Wouldn't know what to improve without a reference track tho, i'm struggling with drum&bass myself

Everything fits together like you expect it to. And like it or not, most of that has to do with Reason's skeuomorphic approach, which I for one, adore. I've used many other DAWs, and they all feel like computer applications, no different than using MS Word or Photoshop - features are summoned from ...

I chose the improved combinator and freeze tracks.

Ironically, the combinator is probably the reason why i have DSP issues in the first place; i'm addicted to layering.

Hey man, yours sounds really cool! One thing I will say - I was trying to make a supersaw with only one Europa with no other layering. But you know, you really showed me how to do it, so I'm gonna stick with layering Europa with Thor. :thumbs_up: Agreed, sounds cool! I copied and added one Europa w...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsOLDbosV5c at 2:50 [/quote] The track from Etnica has several saws in different octaves playing (and filtered/EQed). The other one sounds quite simple. I would be surprised if that would not be possible with Europa. Even the basic patch in the web versions is quite ...

Let me know if you’ve got some examples that you’d like help recreating in Europa and I’m more than willing to try! -Jim How about these? Mono compatible or no go! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV1ZvjOIsCw at 3:14. Not really supersaw, but i like the sizzle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsO...

Also try changing your buffer size in the Focusrite Asio Control panel (it's a separate .exe in the Focusrite directory, in case Mixcontrol or whatever it's called won't run (it won''t with me, it "can't find the hardware", a longstanding issue by now). I have it set to 512 at 48khz currently as th...

Remote override with midi devices is such a hassle. It's fine if you ever use just one device, but toggling between different devices doesn't let you keep your remote override. And it needs to be redone with each new project. Please, let there be a function for assigning midi knobs and faders for ea...

Yesterday i realized the EQ (F2) drains quite alot of resources. I always have it open on one screen, but turning it off made all my stuttering projects play smooth again. No VST's involved tho. I've read about optimization and how closing combinators help reduce DSP load, just didn't occur to me t...

Hi, you'll find that here: https://forum.reasontalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7505236&p=374624&hilit=7900x#p374624 Thanks Jappe. Close, but no cigar :) Exode has that CPU, and seems to really like its performance in Reason. Maybe reach out to him (he’s a forum member here). Thanks EnochLight, i'll PM...

I know you said just laptop, but that includes a laptop case/bag right? I always fit in a small Microsoft BT mouse and an AKAI MPK Mini mk2.

The small BT mouse is crucial imo, doesn't take up much extra space.

Hey guys, Does anyone have experience running the Intel Core i9 processor with Reason? I've seen performance tests with DAWBENCH of VST's like this one here https://techreport.com/review/32607/intel-core-i9-7980xe-and-core-i9-7960x-cpus-reviewed/12 But how does it translate to reason? I'm finding m...

I got the ABL3, and sweet baby jeebus it's HOT!
