Re: Which Rack Extensions have you recently bought and why?

I got GClip yesterday: I am playing around with clippers as tools for gain staging.

Map controller midi keys to patch up/down

Hello everyone, I bought recently an epiano 88 keys and I would like to map some of the extreme keys in the upper or lower register to do patch up / patch down in Reason. Does anyone know how to do this? (if it is possible at all) The epiano has two buttons for patch up / down of his own sound bank,...

Re: What are your top five devices at the moment?

- ID8: I always start with it these days
- Redrum: too lazy to place and route Kongs, I use one Redrum for each sample
- MClass compressor: I do not need more than that mostly

Then I use The Legend and Parsec2 to replace the ID8s.

I just slap "Selig Gain" in every mix channel and aim for -6db. This changed my life. Thank you.
Changed mine too. I go for -15dB peak on all channels.

Apart from Algoritm, the high resolution rack they are using looks sweet, good job on that too. Though I wonder why we have not seen the mixer or sequencer in high resolution yet ..

Re: Do McDSP rack extensions (EQ / compressors) really work as they advertise?

And here the dynamics (ramp response) of the compressors. Those which cannot dial the ratio in seem to be around 5:1.

Has anyone run them through plugindoctor? I don't have them send used up my trial. The free version of plugindoctor can load RRP and it could be easily tested whether there's any harmonics or EQ curve on these. Yes, I can do it now that I am on 11 Suite.

Sound design question: pitch modulation in Europa

Good morning! I was going today through a tutorial on sound design and while trying to replicate it in Europa I cannot find a way to modulate the oscillator pitch with an envelope by a definite amount. If I define a ramp envelope (like the default envelope 1) and assign it to oscillator pitch in the...

Re: Reason stuff you've wondered why then suddenly realised the answer.

For me it was realizing that I could mute block segments from the sequencer. I had been drawing empty segments of audio or midi in the sequencer for two years straight, when I saw it in one of the oldest tutorial videos :roll:

Which is why using your ears, is critical.

Btw, I must say.... having the SSL modules in the rack is super handy! :puf_smile:
Yes, I love the EQ in the rack as it teaches me to dial it in with my ears and not with my eyes.

Re: Channel EQ (Reason classic) HPF adding gain?

I say "let's take a look" and see for ourselves what is going on. Will be testing an assortment of Reason/RE HP filters to see their responses (frequency and phase), plus run some white noise and see if the peak level changes. All filters at 100Hz, testing 12 and 24 dB/Oct where possible (and 18 dB...

Re: Channel EQ (Reason classic) HPF adding gain?

Interesting & good catch, because it probably doesn't SOUND louder, right? What's weirder is that both in & out displays on 2nd Selig Gain definitely don't show -10dB but rather between -14 and -20dB with a difference between L & R channels (absent on 1st Gain), which would suggest some phasing is ...

Re: Channel EQ (Reason classic) HPF adding gain?

I found that the channel EQ insert has a different sound than the SSL EQ with the same settings. I did it by ear but it was definitely different. Could it be because of signal processing order? By default Mixer goes Dynamics -> EQ -> Inserts: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kw9dByznmvU/maxresdefault.jpg whe...

Channel EQ (Reason classic) HPF adding gain?

Good morning, I found this situation today while using the Channel EQ as an insert FX. Why are there 4dB peak more after the HPF? The filter is taking out the whole DC component that the Scream4 adds, so definitely should be showing less and AFAIK it is not a resonant filter and thus does not boost ...

Re: Processed pianos: bug in dynamics?

So I got the answer from Support: It's true that the dynamics is not as great as in Radical Piano (or Reason Pianos). The main purpose of processed Pianos was to have a great "pop piano" instrument, i.e. piano sounds that fitted in the mix, rather than be played on their own. So if you want superior...

Re: Processed pianos: bug in dynamics?

I tried to repeat the test you are doing and i clearly could here 3 layers of samples which does not sound "hypersampled" to me. The switching between the node velocities is not smooth, maybe there are not enough samples. Maybe not a bug,but "just" bad or not enough samples? Make the sound dry, cho...
