Re: Controlling Mixer Section with MIDI Control Surface

You need to create two remote maps (both of which are linked to your controller device). The remote map intended for controlling the mixer you’ll lock to the master mix section. This allows your controller keyboard (and other controls) to MIDI follow whatever you want (such as an instrument) while t...

Re: The podcast (Sound Minds) is here!

This seems to be a side-project by Grace McCallum, who just happens to work at Reason Studios. Grace’s experience seems to be around the social and legal aspects of music (such as copywriting) and not the technical details of creating music. She may not know how to use Reason (and certainly not on t...

Regarding tap tempo, if you’re interested in getting a mixer like the Behringer X-Touch, my free mixer interface has a tap tempo function included (the “TOUCH” button on the mixer). https://www.jaexx.com/blog/reason-custom-behringer-x-touch-remote-map-layout/ Of all my hardware, Nektar Panorama P1, ...

My suggestion for the bundles would be something like this: This is so well thought out, it feels less like a post by a user of Reason and more like an internal leak for a pitch idea at Reason Studios.

Re: Reason 12 has arrived

Remote function for the previous insert controls will work similarly to how automation works now. Load a project in which you automated those controls before. You'll notice your combinator patch is loaded in the insert and the automation is carried over to those controls. When remote support is fix...

Re: Reason and Huge Track Counts

Maybe you could have a fast computer and it’s just Reason. But… regarding running something from an SSD, as other’s have mentioned, is outdated. You need to be concerning yourself with not if you’re running Reason from an SSD but what kind of connection you’re running it with. In short? You should b...

Re: CPU usage and R12 crashs

Regarding performance and some things not working, I have absolute faith Reason Studios will fix them and that it won’t take too long. This is one of the reasons I don’t recommend upgrading to Reason 12 “at this time”.

Re: The mysterious obsession with virtual channel strips

From my experience, ironically, performance seems to be worst on computers with fast semi-integrated (Apple M1) and discreet (RTX 2060) GPU’s.

That’s my concern in designing Combinator is making them CPU efficient (even though I rock an overclocked desktop i9 de-soldered with a custom lid and an Apple M1 laptop).

Re: Coming soon: Drumbinator

Dude, to me, the most impressive thing is your workflow idea. you can drag a new device or preset onto the existing one and it will retain its key mapping (via CV from a silent Redrum) and its volume / pan / mute (via a mixer14:2). Yeah, that's awesome. I assume you'd stick with one synth device (sa...
