This Forum

I think that this forum has become unhappy.
Unhappy forums are toxic so I'm gonna take a break from it for a while.

Re: Massive X !

It gets a mediocre 8/10 in the proper music mag reviews. The main criticisms are that it feels unfinished and there is not enough visualisations of waveforms. One of the mags, Music Tech I think, had an interview with one of the devs and he pretty much admitted it was not finished and that it would ...

Re: Rack Extensions Rule, VST Sucks

Hehe claiming that VSTs suck is right up there with joining the Flat Earth Society. If those folks want to believe that Reason and REs are the only game in town then there is not much we can do to help them. Let's just hope that Reason Studios never turn off their server....

Re: That Ableton Sound!

Re: FAQ: VST in Reason

Well, the sooner that Reason suports VST3, the better. There are several VST plugins that I would like to have available in Reason, but they are available as VST3 only. Sorry to have to say, but it's another area where Reason is behind the mainstream in the DAW market. Every week will see new plugi...

Re: When Will Reason 11.X AAX be available?

I can somewhat understand the AAX delay, but not having the AU version ready for launch is one of the dumbest things they've ever done. I'm pretty sure you will find many in agreement with you within Props itself. The conversation will have gone like this: Sales/Marketing: "We've got to launch in S...

Re: macOS 10.15 Catalina

That was kinda my point. We haven't heard from Props but we have heard from some of the industry big players like Steinberg and Waves. Catalina has been available as Beta for a while so if there was an easy fix those companies would already have done it. Instead it sounds a bit like they are scratch...

Re: Instrument/effect available in Re and vst - which do you pick?

I use VST before RE because the UI is usually easier to read on my screen and the separate window means I can position it anywhere I want. The rack view in Reason wastes lots of precious screen real estate. I also use other DAWs so it makes sense from that viewpoint too. Some of the newer instrument...

Re: When Will Reason 11.X AAX be available?

They have promised AU by the end of the year but they have been much more coy on AAX, not saying anything other than "we're thinking about it". So don't hold your breath. IMO the rack itself needs to be able to host VST2s so we can transfer our favourite combis between Standalone and Rack and the Ra...

Re: Reason 11 is the reason why Reason will Prevail

I also think that the Reason Rack bodes well for the future but I do worry about the price of entry. Not the monetary price but the time and effort price. It definitely needs to ship with a good number of presets. That's rack presets not instrument presets. Someone needs to be able to download the t...

Re: Something Like Fruity Fast Distortion

So glad you found that sweet spot you liked! Always feels good when distortion dials in just right. In case you didn't try it yet - you don't need a parallel channel with Mr. Overdrive or Toob. Instead try cranking the drive pretty high and then use the wet/dry knob to blend mostly dry signal (say,...

Steinberg, Waves, Presonus and IK Multimedia are all advising Mac owners not to upgrade just yet. I'm not clear on what th...

Re: Controlling Complex—1 in Rack VST via Midi

If your DAW can control other VSTs from midi then, yes, it's possible with Complex-1 in the rack VST. As long as a particular control is exposed to the VST "wrapper" your DAW can connect to it. I've no idea how to do it in Live though. You'd need to check the manual.

What is being taken away that constitutes a DAW 'dying' ?
