Re: Audio crackling/pop

I tried to track a couple vocalists today and had to switch to Pro Tools because even just playing back audio I was getting all kinds of crackling and popping. My computer wasn't even breaking a sweat in terms of performance (I'm running an AMD Ryzen 9 5900x with 64gb of RAM DDR4 running @ 3600mt/s)...

Re: Almost all my songs are audibly clipping, what am I missing?

Not sure either :) I thought you're making a quantum physics theory-like argument, that the signal on the master doesn't clip while being there (which technically might be true), until you send it to master's output, i.e. to a file or speaker, because it needs to be converted from math to "reality"...

Re: Almost all my songs are audibly clipping, what am I missing?

I would say that a well balanced mix has all faders at zero and is only used for automation. I often find that it's a patch or insert effect setting that creates the overload. Nothing makes me happier than finding the culprit hidden somewhere deep inside a combiner. It's always best to catch it ear...

We use this very accurate tool to predict the future of Reason.

Re: Ozone 10 introduces delay

I would definitely stick to the method provided by @jam-s for bouncing loops since that method will, as he explained, help preserve whatever FX tails might be present and therefore give you a more "accurate" loop.

Re: What SPL (decibel) meter to buy?

As far as accuracy goes I don't think you'll find a better app than NIOSH SLM as it is the only app (as far as I know) that shows any compliance with SPL metering standards (especially relevant to workplace safety and live sound applications). However, if you want fairly accurate readings then even ...

Re: Assuming there's going be one, what you think is coming in Reason 13?

Serious DAW features attract professional, serious musicans. In the end you only need one synth, a delay and a reverb to make good music. A DAW is more some kind of an organizer for arranging tracks - this part needs investment now, because its indeed a gold mine. They just need to add some basic D...

Re: Assuming there's going be one, what you think is coming in Reason 13?

While adding sequencer features definitely wouldn't hurt, it would be delusional for any Reason user to expect that there will be some kind of "catch-up" to other DAWs. Not happening. Instead, what should happen is having Reason integrated into some kind of hardware platform. Whether it's the devel...

For more "serious" audio editing functionality I've switched over to Pro Tools, but I still think nothing beats Reason for ease of use, stability, sound design, and sheer fun and joy of tinkering, etc. How did you ever get any ‘serious’ audio editing done in Reason? You can’t draw the waveform (for...

I personally am really not enthusiastic about a version 13 at all - I still think version 12 users deserve some long-needed QoL improvements and other DAW-centric improvements before I can feel like I've been given good value for my money. While Reason 12 obviously did bring lots to write home about...

I'd love to be able to add comments in the sequencer window!
