It’s 2023. Still weighing up the pros and cons. Has software caught up with hardware yet?

What about sampling reason into a hardware sampler? Would that make the quality better?

Who used to hangout on the mighty RS? What happened to it?

Also gotta love the limitations of hardware. When I’m on my Mac I’m constantly thinking about installing new plugins and finding new ways of doing stuff or checking emails. With hardware you have zero distractions and just focus on the music.

The Fairlight will make an excellent sequencer for the awesome sounds in WBF R2 That's if you dig a text command interface with just one disturbing color and have the electricity to spare.

So I need to get the Fairlight and the WBF R2 refill? Interesting. Is anyone else using this combo?

I’m thinking about getting a CS80, Jupiter 8, DX7, Linn 900, Synclavier and a Fairlight to start with. Then I’ll run it all through an SSL mixer. Would that sound fat?

Can I sync these synths with reason?

Someone said more ram and cpu would help. Then I can jack my system up to 64bit float. Maybe I just need more headroom to prevent clipping in the DAW.

I'm not trolling, it's a real question. Can music produced on a laptop, really stand up next to true analogue audio run through a dedicated mixer? I'm putting this down to the way that Reason processes audio, it feels like the engine is limited in throughput. I use Beats by Dre headphones for most o...

In that case...as usual...dont blame the tools


I blame Reason. It sounds properly good on the Bose speakers in my bedroom, but in the club it sounds like a wet fart going off. I blame Reason because it's like low data right?

Yes but I want to burst out onto the scene!!! Make an impact, shake things up. I think I need some serious hardware to do this. I tried Reason but all my tracks flopped, no DJ would play them because they sounded so lame. What synth should I start with? Maybe a Mini Moog right? Or should I get and 8...

Guys, I need your help. What is best, Hardware or Software? I'm looking to produce some banging Acid Techno and need to get that fat sound. What should I buy to help me?
