Laptop recommendations

I just got a new Dell XPS to use primarily with Reason and it was a complete disaster. It couldn’t make it past the first bar of projects without maxing out the DSP meter and endless stuttering and glitches. My old laptop with inferior specs could do much better, even after I made all the recommende...

Re: Dell XPS- performance issues?

Since I’ve already ordered it over the weekend (great pricing) and it’s too late to cancel the order, yes I have no choice but to get my hands on it and try to really gauge if this will be a potential issue. There is an extended return period for the holidays. Reading the forums it seems like the De...

Re: Dell XPS- performance issues?

Yes that’s the one. I was just mainly concerned with the XPS latency issues and if anyone had that experience with Reason

Re: Dell XPS- performance issues?

I ordered an i7 (8th gen) 6 core config. I couldn’t justify the price difference for an i9. We know how i7 performs. I added the 32gb ram and 1tb SSD. I thought it was a good balance all around- specs and price wise. Thanks for tips on the configuring our of the box, I expected I’d have to do some b...

Re: Dell XPS- performance issues?

I’m using ol’ Balance on my Windows 7. I have no idea if it will play nice with a 2018 windows 10. I suspect I may have to change interfaces with the new Dell

Dell XPS- performance issues?

I scored a good deal on a Dell XPS (9570) laptop over the weekend. Based on my research, many articles ranked this laptop as one of this year’s top 10 for music production. As I await to receive the laptop, I found on some forums (not Reason specific) that users working with audio/DAWs on this lapto...

Need to tell Santa what computer I want...

Hi Reason gang, I'm still cranking Reason on my 2010 gamer-style Toshiba laptop. It has done me well for many years, however it's time for an upgrade. I hope Santa can build a good one that can handle today's Reason CPU demands. That said, I'm clueless on which laptops (preferably PCs) work well wit...

Re: Sound effects - transitions, reverses, impacts

Not free ones but I often make use of this one https://primeloops.com/razor-fx.html or you could give Loopcloud a spin. It has some pretty nice features for auditioning the samples. Once you've registered, you get a free welcome sample pack, and you can purchase single samples instead of whole pack...

Sound effects - transitions, reverses, impacts

Hello, new to the forum. Can anyone recommend a good refill or sample pack for various transition effects (up/down lifts, reverses, cinematic impact type), preferably of the free variety? Thanks!
