Re: Reason for alternative and indie music

For a complete beginner, the Matt Piper tutorials at Lynda.com are pretty good. If there's a free trial offer, it's only about 4 hours. Basic stuff, but it's good to have the basics down.

Yes, exactly - it's something I'd hide, if I could. The "Rename/Delete" options are greyed out on Mac. That I am unsure about.

Thanks so much! That's been bugging me for ages. I can't stand DAW clutter.

Is there any way to hide the 'Showcase'?
What do you mean? 'Showcase' as in the favorites list?

You can completely hide that. I think it's from the Options menu?

I hadn't read the blog: Don’t like subscriptions? As excited as we are about Reason+, we understand that subscription services aren’t for everyone.

Ouch. I don't like this. Will Reason 11 owners not get a scalable UI then? I've invested in Reason in good faith that such things were on the to do list, even if that meant paying for a R12 update, actually (I happily would). Much as I love Reason, I'm not interested in paying €20 a month for access...

Re: Kuassa amps NOT for guitar - yes or no?

I have Matchlock and it's a really good Fender amp sim and I love it on guitar (night and day difference from those Softube amps) but I never really liked it on anything else that I've run through it, and I do believe in trying everything through everything. Maybe it could work a bit sometimes, for ...

Re: Which RE would you like to punch?

The worst GUI for me is Grain. It's the bit at the top where the sample is, the flags, and the overall display above that with the orange brackets is crap looking too. The flags bit though looks kiddish and don't like the white on all of the synth. Different colour themes may help but you'd still h...

Thanks to everybody who contributed too. Still working on my modular chops over here, so I'm seeking epiphanies rather than sharing the wealth at this point. One day perhaps.

Re: Friktion - Will you buy it? - POLL

I just found out that this is 99 dollars USD. I had thought it was 109 because they are charging us Canadians 139 Dollars For Friktion. Looks like Reason Studios just recently jacked up all their REs from 129 Canadian Dollars (99USD) to 139 Dollars. The current exchange rate 99USD is 129. Companies...

Re: Brand new Reason Studios Instrument : Friktion Strings

Possibly a bit rich for my blood and/or needs, but I love this 'Fiddling Around' demo. I don't think many hearing it blind would think 'physical modelling'. Sounds like the real deal to me, albeit whacked with heavy compression (as fitting with the country style): https://soundcloud.com/reasonstudi...

Re: FM4

I'm not interested in the DX7 emulation per se, just would like to know more about FM and be able to use it in Reason. FM isn't as difficult as its rep suggests. If you have the signal flow down and understand what's doing what to whom when you turn a knob, then it's mostly listening. Maybe a pure ...

Re: FM4

RYM is magic. For some reason i usually load that one up before FM4. Think it’s because it’s blue. Yes, yes it is. Both magic and blue. Just to add, the RYM2612 developer offers a free tool to extract synth patches from SEGA Genesis/Megadrive game soundtracks: https://www.inphonik.com/products/rymc...

Re: FM4

Is FM4 the best (or only) FM synth in RE form? Educate and enlighten me, if you please. Thank you! It's not the only one. There's PX7, and I really like the weird and quirky RYM2612 Sega synth. https://www.reasonstudios.com/shop/rack-extension/px7-fm-synthesizer/ https://www.reasonstudios.com/shop/...

Re: Help with recreating The Legend reverb

Between all of the algorithms, a bit of EQing and its mountain of bundled IRs, RV7000 should get you most of the way there. The missing ingredient might be a bit of micropitching/doubling? It sounds to me like the 'width' knob on The Legend's reverb introduces a short delay between the left and righ...
