I use blocks purely as markers.
I work in song mode, and add empty blocks in different colors to mark segments of the song in a logical way.
Makes it much easier to find the start of a chorus, verse, bridge or whatever.

Oh, have you reported that bug? Note to self: Don't give technical advice after 28 hours of insomnia. Bounce In Place works as advertised. I was thinking of the Bounce Mixer Channels from the File Menu. If you bounce to new tracks, with Copy Original Channel Settings checked, the automation will no...

Would bounce in place capture these dynamic effects from the master channel? Or does it calculate the resulting track as if it were solo'd? EDIT: Disregard my original answer. I was thinking of the Bounce Mixer Channels function from the File Menu with Copy Channel Settings checked. From the User M...

That’s not what I understood the question to be Rereading the original question, I realize that your interpretation is probably the right one. I didn't consider the possibility that OP meant send -effects. I think we can agree that if OP means master- sends , your answer is the correct one, and If ...

Yes, easiest way is to solo the Bus Channel for the stem... I disagree. In mastering, some channels will affect other channels in some cases. (Dynamic effects) A simple test to demonstrate what I mean: Track 1: Pure Sinewave, high-pitched, at low volume Track 2: Pure Sinewave pulses, Low Pitched, A...

I did the test, and found a huge audible difference . For the doubters, I can attest that I have followed every conceivable recommendation for proper audiophile testing. Test setup First I created a PsyTrance bassline in Reason DAW using Vital VST and some creative filtering plus reverb. Exported to...

Sorry, you are a sloppy programmer... Your program can be optimized to this: 0PRINT"MrFigg":GOTO RUN You save a couple of bytes by coding the entire app on one line. You save another couple of bytes by eliminating the spaces You save another couple of bytes by not specifying an argument on the GOTO ...

Having a distant past in IT support, I can give you a basic strategy for finding the culprit: Remember to take notes while troubleshooting. First do a basic sanity check... Create a new empty project, add one basic synth playing a few simple notes. Does that exhibit the problem? It shouldn't. Now yo...

A while ago I created a free speaker/room simulator for headphones as a Combinator 2 patch, using the free Sennheiser Ambeo Orbit VST.

I have now made it available in the Combinator2 subforum here: https://forum.reasontalk.com/viewtopic ... &t=7529875

Perhaps that is worth experimenting with.

Here's a binaural speaker/room simulation Combinator2, made possible by using a couple of free VST's. I have tried a couple of commercial speaker simulators, and was not satisfied. I then spent some time wondering if it's possible to make a free speaker and room simulator, and I came up with this: S...

I have the Aftershokz Aeropex. The audio quality is not suitable for audiophiles at all. Not much bass, and not very loud. They have other strengths however, and I do use them all the time for podcasts, audiobooks and YouTube stuff. You can switch between normal and reduced bass. I use the reduced b...

Bug spray

But a bug you report with specifics about your experience, including log files, stands a better chance of being addressed and resolving a bug as it relates to your system more so than someone who doesn't report a bug. That's all I'm saying. I agree with you in principle. In practice I lose interest...

You won't know when they've read a ticket because they are also received by email. What exactly was the bug? Did you mention it here? When the response starts with "I'm going through some old tickets" and the view count on the linked video stays at zero for at least seven months, I think it’s fair ...

I would suggest people join the beta and report any issues you are experiencing and include log files. In July 2021 I reported a bug in R11. Included clear step by step instructions and a video demonstrating the problem. It took until April 2022 before they even read the ticket. The bug was still r...

I don't have Companion any more, but I would guess that Reason uses the audio device specified in Reason Settings, while Companion uses the default Windows Audio Device. If other apps (Like eg. YouTube in a browser) are silent too, then you need to fix your default Windows Audio settings. I have als...

naah, i have a TV for extra need. although i have a problem with mouse - slow response. i sometimes get pissed off because of it. hehe. There's usually a fix for input lag. Google your brand and model plus "input lag" to find the settings. On my Samsung 4K tv the trick was to rename the hdmi input ...

...but I do scratch my head at the rigorous workflow y’all choose to make music in. Every tool has its strengths and weaknesses. There are things you can easily do in Reason that are hard to do in other DAWs, and vice versa. I don't feel that Reason is what's holding me back, and I just love the ca...

I don't know the solution, but there's a workaround...
I simply drag the sample into the timeline from the Windows File Explorer. I assume it works with MacOS Finder too.
Not optimal, but better that restarting Reason.

Your first result? Surely not, this is *way* too polished for that! Great work!! Excellent retro sound! Thank you. Allow me to elaborate just a teeny tiny bit on why you hit the nail on the head by mentioning polish: As stated in earlier comments, I spent quite a lot of time on the track. Important...

I have made configuration files for the cheap Donner DMK-25 midi controller. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/716u8YfDTdL.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg They will allow you to use all the features of the DMK-25 in Reason 11 (and possibly other versions?). The default configuration do...

if that is your 1st track, you should be multi platinum by track 10!🤣 Apart from the very simple tracks that I made while learning Reason (available on my Youtube channel and soundcloud), It is my first track that I put effort into. Since it took me 50 years to get to this point, expect my track nu...

Again, thank you all for the kind, encouraging words. I didn't expect such a positive reception. The key modulations in the song I wasn't expecting. To me, melody, harmony and production is everything. Vocals means nothing to me. The best melodies and harmonies are the ones going in a totally unexpe...

Thank you all for your kind words. I really appreciate it. It makes me more confident that it is worth continuing making music. Pretty slick for a first project, are you sure you hadn't done this before? Okay, I’ll confess… I had a Casio VL-1 as a kid :lol: I have played around with GarageBand for i...

Is it ever too late to begin producing music? As I turned 50 some months ago, I decided to give it a try. This is my first result. https://youtu.be/T1JDjaKngX0 Made with Reason+ demo, emvoice demo and Microsoft Azure AI TTS, and some extreme editing of pitch and timing of the voices. Family and frie...
