Re: Looks like Reason Studios have redesigned their site...

Urgh. Yeah, that's really bad. Looks like it was designed by old people trying to guess what kids are into these days. And that video background is such a nausiating cringey mess. Hope no one got paid actual money to mash this together! Actually, I recently saw a high school student-produced vid ab...

Re: --TRACKSPACE 3-- a trackspace type sidechain frequency ducking device using REs only

Yeah Carve is full of bugs and got abandoned a long time ago It is indeed abandoned (by the dev). I'm not concerned with that when stuff just works. And RS makes sure ALL existing REs will work in future Reason versions, so in that regard no RE is ever completely abandoned. But I'm not aware of any...

Re: MacOS Sonoma Compatibility

I think the new Parallels for Apple Silicon opens up running Windows again on M-chips. Instead, I went with CrossOver, as I only wanted to try Cyberpunk 2077 on Mac. Code Weavers already created the WINE "bottle" for Steam and Cyberpunk 2077 – it works very well! On my Mac Studio M2 Ultra, I can run...

Re: MacOS Sonoma Compatibility

Actually, running CodeWeavers Crossover https://www.codeweavers.com/crossover for Apple Silicon is the easiest way to run many Microsoft applications on Mac without a clunky Windows emulator. No licensed WIndows to buy or emulator needed, just use CrossOver. 14-day free trial, Buy for $74.

Re: AI - Cheating or just evolution?

AI is starting to replace jobs, so if you can use it in your music before it eliminates composers, it's no more cheating than MIDI was when it allowed us to play more than one instrument at a time without needing a multitrack tape studio back in the day. I remember even feeling I was cheating when I...

That was my experience also. After installing Pace, iLok and UA Connect, all for a free VST, when it didn...

Re: Sonible Studios Bundle

By the way, the new Mastering Assistant in the latest Logic Pro update works really nicely. I love how the AI creates a detailed EQ curve to balance the spectral energy. Seems like Logic is trying to reduce the reliance on 3rd party mastering tools.

Thanks for all the great info. I'll see if I end up going Sonible, as I was able to get Ozone 11 Advanced AUs and VST3s working in all hosts, including Reason 12.

After some initial tests, I definitely prefer the Cakewalk RE-2A/CA-2A. Which is no surprise as it's been my favorite over any other emulation. The UAD sounds more aggressive at the same settings. Could just be a matter of using lower settings... But for a compressor I reach for because it's gentle...
