Re: Arturia Minifreak

Arturia have won me over, First, the V-collection, which is just mind-boggling in variety and authenticity of sound. Then Pigments, and the free upgrade to V4 now. A fantastic soft synth with a really easy to use interface and amazing sound, and now, MiniFreak! I just bought one, and am flabbergaste...

I got 20. Wonder what was the difference? I went from 10 to 11 non-Suite.

Are you sure you didn't already have some? I have a total of 44 points now, which includes the 12 I got for the upgrade...

Re: Have you read the printed manual of Reason?

I have read a few things in the manual. But never read the whole thing. Where can you get the printed manual? You can't - you have to make your own, and at 1300-plus pages, it's a big undertaking these days... I last printed out the manual for V9, I think. When it got to 9.5, I just started printin...

Re: iZotope Neutron

1. Bounce all tracks to audio files and remove the originals: 2. Set the audio buffer really high in Reason Preferences - latency shouldn't really matter when you're at the point you're using Neutron (mix down); 3. close any other programs running; 4. close any Reason windows with animated graphics ...

The manuals say you can increase the number of voices in the instrument properties, and as long as the devices are all polyphonic (show a double note icon in the title bar at the bottom in the structure view) it sh...

Now at 50 bucks with Reason handling VSTs I had to do it. Haven't dug deep yet, but as was posted previously, simple ens...

Usually Reason will offer to generate a list of files that weren't closed/saved properly when you restart it after a crash... On my mac, the default filename is filelist.txt and it sits on the desktop. I'd look for that before doing anything else...
