Re: The Future of Reason DAW

I remain all in on Reason. It has strengths and weaknesses, just like any other DAW. The truth is pretty much every DAW is more than capable these days, you're really choosing between 10% of functionality. I do have some gripes about the sequencer, but it's easily "good enough" for me and I'd rather...

Anyone use the Alesis Strike Multipad?

I'm trying to get it set up to trigger Reason Drum Kits. It's mostly working great, but I'm trying to come up with a way to nicely simulate a hi-hat pedal. I figured out a promising solution using the Multipads "Sync Groups", but ran into an issue - Sync Groups don't seem to apply to the MIDI output...

Emulating a human scream

Hi all, I've gotten interested in emulating a realistic human scream using synths. I don't mean dubsteb obviously synthetic "screams", I mean trying to match the actual sound of a human screaming as closely as possible.

Re: [STOCK] ADT emulation

I updated the combi to use "DRY" instead of SRC. I also got rid of the concept of presets... too hard to maintain. So now there's just one in the .zip file. Updated the page here:

If you want a better three letter solution, consider using the more common DRY to avoid confusion.

Re: R12, 16 months on, ... how are you all finding it?

after about a dozen or so updates from RS, R12 has gone from a bug-strewn mess to one of the best iterations of Reason I’ve used since I started using Reason back in the v1 days 20+ years ago. It literally never crashes on me now, just keeps ticking along and is super reliable, just like the old da...

I am loving R12, just as I’ve loved every previous version of Reason! I don’t have R+ (I try to avoid subscriptions as much as possible), so I just bought the upgrade. Combi 2.0 is pretty nice! I don’t make new ones that often, but I’ve made a couple of custom instruments for myself that I use all t...

Reason Drum Kits "ALT HI-HAT" mappings

I love RDK and use it a lot, but the RDK manual doesn't really explain what the "ALT HI-HAT" key mappings do. I usually trigger the high hat using F#1, G#1 and A#1 (Original key map). However F#3 - F4 are also mapped to hi-hat sounds, and labeled "ALT HI-HAT", with sub-markings "POLY". I'm wondering...

Re: automatic add new loop/take record

If you're recording audio, each loop will be recorded as a separate take in the comp editor. So you can do as many passes as you want of a vocal or whatever, then choose the best takes after (by selecting the newly-created clip and hitting COMP EDIT in the sequencer). Take a look at Editing audio in...

Re: Fix bad bass tone from old multi-track tape

Could also try adding some light distortion (with Scream or similar)... that can add some nice top end to a bassline.

Another thing might be to use the "sidechain the kickdrum" trick to have the bass duck every time the kick hits. That can make a muddy bassline sound a bit clearer too.

Re: Reason's Mixer: FX send/return - how to properly apply FX

Generally my advice is "work backwards from what you're trying to achieve" and that will give you hints. For example, if your track is meant to sound like a rock band playing together in a room, you can probably send a bunch of tracks to the same Room verb to simulate that. If you want a more modern...

Re: 'Failed to open GUI support library' RRP in Reaper Win10

I was having this problem and found a workaround.

In REASON REAPER Preferences, go to Plug-ins > VST and disable the setting "Inform plug-ins of offline rendering state"

I was able to get RRP to load and work normally after that!
