Re: May the 5th (be with you)

Mods, will you please stop altering the title of this thread. This thread is not about the AAX plugin. It's about any other stuff that may come along on May 5th. If you want a thread about the AAX plugin please feel free to start one rather than abusing your powers. Thank you.

May the 5th (be with you) - Reason Rack Plugin AAX announced

So, I may be reading too much into this but the email I just received from RS announcing the arrival of the AAX version of the Reason Rack Plugin (for ProTools) said: The AAX version is launching May 5, 2020 and is included in a free update to Reason 11. That would seem to suggest that there may be ...

Re: How do you keep dynamics interesting?

Keeping it interesting within a song is mostly about tweaking the instrumentation as the song progresses rather than dynamics. When the second chorus hits or the third verse you tend to either get slightly busier bass lines or percussion lines or perhaps a new instrument joining in. Or if you are wr...

Re: Soundspot Products are on sale

5 plugins for £5 ! Check out Glitch and the Percussion EQ Are they good? My experience with Soundspot is that their products are crap and not worth the diskspace. Hard to say from a sound quality viewpoint because I only really use the ones that are meant to make the sound "worse", like glitch and ...

Re: Virtual Box

Did you miss the bit above where I said I've done it but Mojave rather than Catalina. Got Logic running in it too.
Unfortunately I could not get audio to run at any sensible latency.

Re: Any way to save Reason project into Reason Rack (not just via MIDI file)

In your Reason project make sure the instruments and effects for each track are inside their own combinator and don't include any VSTs. Then you can load each combinator into a separate instance of the Reason Rack Plugin your other DAW. No need to unpack them though, unless you want to make more cha...

Re: Why doesn't Reason Studios sell old versions of Reason?

I think buying the latest version should automatically give you a license for all previous versions, except where legal agreements make it impossible like when Line6 effects were removed. If I but Reason 11 why can't I choose to download and run Reason 9 or 10 or whatever?

Re: Virtual Box

I got Mojave running in VB 6.0.something, just for fun. Spent quite some time making it work and then haven't touched it since! I mostly followed a web guide but there were a couple of gotchas that needed some more Googling and lots of fiddling. It reminded me all over again why I don't really like ...

Re: Stay at home

This is one of those REs that I thought I wanted but having trialled it I found it just confused the hell out of me. The GUI is small, fiddly and cluttered and I don't see the point in having lots of independent channels. I need one channel with bigger controls and fewer options. Needless to say I w...

The only reason (or Reason) I can think of for it to be useful is for newcomers who buy Reason 11 but would like to use Reason 10 for its Rewire capabilities.

Re: Would you upgrade from 11...?

All I need to be persuaded to upgrade to 12 is enough time to have gone by since 11 launched, for there to have been plenty of ongoing free additions and fixes to 11 and for there to be a handful of new toys (that I don't really need!) I suppose I also need to have survived coronavirus with both my ...

Re: Poll: Acoustic Vs. Synth Instrument RE

If only StringWerk got its partner BrassWerk, I would be happy. Stringwerk is based on the e-instruments Session Strings Kontakt library and they do a Session Horns Kontakt library so it would not be out of the question for them to do a BrassWerk RE (or HornWerk?) It probably depends how commercial...

Re: Do you want a Finisher RE?

I'd always buy a VST in preference to an RE if a VST version is available. I have some of the ujam virtual instruments as VST.

But like a few of the above I don't need another finaliser type thing in any format because... Waves and iZotope.

Re: USB Mic support.

I think the main problem on Windows is that with ASIO driver not being able to share with each other. I seem to recall recently seeing an ASIO device that promised to "join together" other ASIO devices to present a composite device, a bit like the Mac but quite where I saw it eludes me.

Re: May Madness: Too early to start speculating?

I am waiting for a discount for Reason Suite 11 upgrade. Soon the time is coming when a sale of R11 and Suite upgrade will raise the question if maybe R12 is around the bend. The trend has been to have such sales some months before another version, or when REs are planned to be thrown in a bundle. ...

I think it would be a monumental waste of dev effort to revisit all of that stuff and they would not really benefit commercially from doing so.
