What did you grab during the May sale

Navi Retlav Transistor base and Rhythm Refill and Blamsoft Dc-1 distortion plugin ( which is awesome in combo setups with other devices such as scream). Was going to go for the synthetic Rig , but because of endless Authoriser issues which prevented me from writing licenses , i had to abandon that i...

How good is POLAR and what is the alternative to using it?

Is POLAR the best way to do pitch shifting in Reason? I'm mainly interested in thickening up vocals and other vocal/guitar "special effects". I see very little love for POLAR around here. I'm wondering if it's just not that good or if there are better alternatives? Can I use the standard Reason dev...

I have never experienced any issues with the ignition key. Works like a charm. Always. Thanks. I hope that goes for everyone else who has it. Are there any other users  who can confirm this? Yea, same here, tons of REs, much beta testing for Selig Audio and many others including the Props, much dem...

So just for the benefit of someone who may be experiencing similar problems - still no solution. Props has been supplying me with the same answer which is to register my machine as lost. I have just downloaded updates to Mr Overdrive ( 0.6.4 ) as well as T2 Phaser (1.2.3.) Rack extensions are up to ...

Esoundz Sonic Refills for $5

Not too long ago they did a warehouse clearance, also $5 per dvd. Also this 5$ sale has been appearing and re-appearing for at least since the beginning of this year/end of last year. I got some of the original refill dvd's shipped for 10$ and it arrived within 2 - 3 weeks as expected and delivered ...

McDSP EQs vs Kuassa MP5

I dont own any of the Mcsdp Eq's , only the comps but bought the Kuassa At-1 during the birthday sale. Besides looking pretty it does a good job on the low end as well as some sprinkled magic everywhere else. I use a couple of instances in combination with Mcdsp comps on the master and careful not t...

Devoloop - Holedo Tube Expander in the shop

They could have had some shocked onlookers , another cop, a crazy - guy -stalker and eventually his other half catching them in the act whilst doing it to Shaggy's "it wasnt me". More thought and imagination could have gone into that promo to spark  just a little bit more interest. It's very boring ...

Couldn't you just authorize the computer/work station you normally use and don't need to connect to the internet? This is what I do and loads up every time in a second.  Just get rid of your trials or only try them for a couple days then delete them.  Also download the Authorize software and delete...

I wonder if it will be safe to unistall authoriser and then re-install? Or should i wait til i get a response from props? At this point i dont think I want to risk losing everything by doing an uninstall which means i probably have to wait a week.

Theo, regarding time zones, I'm in NZ and I don't have any issues with Authorizer for what it's worth. Ok, that's good to know. Thanks. There goes that theory. I do have another one though.. I am wondering if the license gets more complex the more RE's we have. I am like at over 100 now and it's wo...

I've had authorizations take painfully long to complete, fail in between, and sometimes lock me out of paid-for RE's when it failed.  But that happens to me rarely, and certainly isn't bad enough to make me abandon RE's.  To the OP: if you take your purchased RE's, authorize your computer with Reas...

This is a big problem.  I have spent DAYS trying update my licenses after downloading a trial or buying the full version.  I'm not exaggerating.... DAYS! If you aren't downloading trials or new REs, one way I overcome this problem it is to always have Reason running.  I am always using Reason anywa...

I find this authorizer issue extremely strange. I have used Reason + RE on at least 7 different computers and laptops and not once has it taken longer than five minutes (which was with a crappy internet connection) to authorize). I imagine it's really difficult to find out where exactly the culprit...

Isn't it possible to set Reason so that the Rack Extensions do not update automatically? Is that issue still there when you're offline? On Reason 6.5 (which I'm on), those things are not an issue because you have to manually update the ignition key... By the way, Theo, glad to see you back! I notic...

How Wonderful it is to not have to log in and download licenses. After deleting all of the rack extensions on trial, Reason launches instantly.

What madness is happening over at props??

This is what I learnt. The idea to me seems to like going to the cinema. You pay the high admission fee to see the film first then 6 months later it comes out on DVD for less then 6 months later its on sale and a few years down the line its in the bargain bucket. You pay 'top dolla' for the RE and ...
