Australia: check out this Melbourne "synth museum"

People living in or visiting Melbourne, Australia, may be interested to check out the Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio - virtually a working shrine of famous synths, with lessons on their history and hands-on workshops. For people who have only ever worked "in the box", I'm sure this would make muc...

Re: DS cv out to Buffer not working.

So if wanting to sequence a triggering of Buffre, it's better to replace Drum Sequencer with something like Propulsion... Or get the Trigate RE (as I said, and it is dirt cheap right now) and then you can use any drum-sequence player to control any instrument or FX in Reason. You could for example ...

Re: DS cv out to Buffer not working.

Matrix sends out a gate signal, while DS sends out triggers. Actually, yes. This appears to be why the setup I was describing only seems to do something useful with One Shot turned on. Because without one shot on, the Drum Sequencer hits are just like hitting the Buffre Manual Trigger extremely mom...

Re: DS cv out to Buffer not working.

I want to use DS to trigger the loop trigger in Buffer like the Matrix but it's not working. Am I doing something wrong or do the players just not work like that? I just had a play around since I don't think I've used those CV ins on Buffre before. And the clue is in the Loop Duration CV input - th...

Re: Is this as good as iZotope deals get?

What's happening with this iZotope deal right now is definitely a mistake. So no, actually I can't get this deal for $299. But iZotope has admitted to causing confusion and offered me a 10% discount on the price that I would otherwise qualify for - $399. I have an email addressed to me, clearly and ...

Is this as good as iZotope deals get?

IZotope is offering me Music Production Suite 5 Universal Edition for $299. That sounds like one of the best deals I've seen on anything iZotope. Would anyone else care to comment on whether that's the case? Would it be crazy to miss that deal?

Re: deCoda

I had a look at deCoda and wasn't impressed at all. It often misses really obvious chord changes - even when they're the same as ones it didn't miss previously.

Selig, I'd like to say thanks for your detailed explanations in this thread.

Re: Adding gain on master channel

Oh, sorry! I adapted it from a setup I use to switch between multiple signal pathways for effects, but yes, I realise it's unhelpful because even if you want the option to set up groups of mastering effects to turn off separately, you could just do that here by chaining Combinators and using the byp...

how would I route a Combinator into the setup you exemplified with the image below? https://i.imgur.com/LfbkInL.png Nielsen, since this thread's been quiet for a while, you may already have a solution, but I'd do it like this.

Re: What Time Signature Is This?

The main problem with the original audio is not the syncopation. It's what Steedus said - the fact that the last three bass notes and the drums with them are out of time with the rest of the audio. Those last three bass notes start too late to be the usual syncopated version of the bass, and too ear...

Re: Better default spectrum EQ

A couple of people have mentioned TDR Nova as a good free option. I tried it and felt it was a tragedy of a device. It has nice design and features but I uninstalled it about 20 minutes later because it added weird fuzzing and fluttering sounds to anything I used it on.
