Let me echo Quarmat above. Tracks 1 and 2 are technically impressive but Track 3 gives us a really well developed piece of music using those techniques.
Well done!

This is so inspiring! Stay weird. This song is close to being great. I would give the "cowboy" parts their own environment. Very dry. Very little reverb. Vocal up front but still controlled (through an LA-2A, maybe). So that when you go to Tame Impala-land in the beautiful B section, it makes a real...

You're right about the bossa nova. I just thought the bongos had kind of a bn beat.
Probably not
Thanks for listening and liking!

Working with contrasts.

Loud/Soft
Harsh/Peaceful
Music/Noise

Thx Baylo,
I'm getting caught up now.
In the past, dumping combinators into mix channel insert windows just uncombi'd them. That was fine with one.That was a problem if you dumped 2 or more in and got rewired, everything. So....that's an improvement of sorts.

Thx Ottostrom. I hadn't caught on to that, yet. So....the SSL knobs for inserts are gone?
I hadn't noticed because I've never used them and just hide that section.

Thanks, everyone. Especially for the hilarious answers. I'm closing in on the problem. It's the new little mixer strip in the Combi's, I think. I really like an old Bass preset called Ampeg Flip-Top and use variations of it a lot. That new little strip keeps popping up at "127" Main Volume . And tha...

Hi All, I finally activated my Reason 12 that I got for free when I upgraded to 11 about a year ago. 11 works so well and 12 seemed to have issues. So..... I have owned Essentials 2, Reason 8, Reason 9 and 11. Now 12. I can take an Essentials project from years ago and put it in 11 with no sound cha...

Thanks All, I was down to, like, 162 samples for low latency. Laptop couldn't handle lower. My musician friend was even annoyed at latency in his overall position in the playback. It only took a nudge of his track of about 4 clockticks to fix that. That's a different latency and different discussion...

Sorry to be late back to this discussion 🙁Thank you for such a long introduction to the subject! You are very generous. Let's take a real example: a good friend is a super accomplished jazz and gigging guitarist. He came to my little studio to let me record him. There was a project track for him to ...

Thanks, CrWarlock. I figured this would be the case. I have to travel often and only have access to my "music closet" with 4 ins/outs some of the time. Really wanted to build it right into Reason itself. Plan B: put my hearing aid in a Combi and have one button bypass before exporting. Disappointing...

I have some hearing damage from my career in the air freight industry. I am trying to fulfill a "dream" by putting permanent pan and EQ hearing compensation into my Reason Templates. Without effecting the actual mix. The corrections would be automatic and permanent just for my monitoring needs only ...

I am a MIDI composer. But now, I've done a track with audio included. And there will be more. The whole subject of monitoring baffles me. Like....I know that my interface lets me select between audio that's gone through Reason (latency) and audio before it gets to Reason. But how is that used in a s...

Hi y'all, I now have an IK Multimedia iRig Keys I/O 25 keyboard and ASIO soundcard in one. It all seems to work.........except: I can put in instruments and they work fine - MIDI as expected. But if I put an audio track in the rack or seq. it all goes dead! No audio in from the keyboard's soundcard ...

Thanks all. I take my laptop and Reason everywhere so a separate num-pad is a no-go for me. I'll just hope for a laptop in my price range that still has one.

Thanks for any help. Any other VST instruments I have obtained just pop right into the VST folder and Reason finds them right away. I obtained a free VST instrument yesterday that comes with this note: Important Note: You must open the Plucks & Mallets stand-alone app (in your applications folder fo...

I'm a numeric keypad shortcut junkie due to how. I write music- full of tiny, fiddly edits.
New laptop needed.
Numeric keypad kind of disappearing.
Where do those Reason shortcuts go if no keypad?

Thanks y'all

Thank you, Pepin. Fresh install does seem the way to go.

Pepin, do you know how I get 3rd party VST's out of the broken laptop and onto the temp laptop?
Do I have to re-download them from the source? Hope not. I have a few favorite free things that I don't remember where they came from........

Thanks, Pepin.
btw I live in a town called Pepin!

My newest Lenovo laptop broke. Physically. The hinge malfunctioned and snapped the screen in two. I want to move Reason, temporarily, back to my old laptop until repairs or a new new laptop. But I complicated things: When I updated from R9 to R11, there was a special where they threw in R12, too. I ...

Thanks, Quarmat. I appreciate it.

Thanks, Bossa.
Once I stumbled onto that old timey synth lead preset- I had to do some Weather Report-ish pitch and modwheel bits. All in good fun.

Just spent time at your Soundcloud page. Had a thoroughly enjoyable time! Now your follower.
I could learn a lot from you.

Thank you, Samiver.
I haven't felt skilled enough for formal challenges.
Maybe soon.

Screenshot (22).jpg Here's my 2 screens. Tried to make the pic smaller but didn't work. When I have a VST in use and put it on the second screen other small windows jump and stick to it. Instead of popping up where I am using them. But a lot of them don't. Sphere Compressor is attracting bit depth ...
