Re: Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2 First Impressions

And....we have a healthy selection of Kalimbas, in case you choose to skip RV10.

Re: Reason 10 announced!

My perspective is as unique as yours. :thumbs_up: This is a positive Reason thread?? mmm-kaaaaaaay... :roll: I merely asked Mattias what synths they were comparing Europa to, and I mentioned Omnisphere as an example. But after Mattias mentioned something about how Europa will stack up favorably to t...

David, seriously - if you think one softsynth is more powerful than an entire DAW such as Reason, you have some serious bias going on. :roll: ;)

Well I never specifically said that now, did I? :question:

And EDIT: Enochlight accusing someone of having serious bias :roll: LOL

Re: Reason 10 announced!

...one could easily argue that Reason - taken as a whole - is far more powerful (almost laughably so) than just Omnisphere (1 or 2). See, this is the Reasonite idea of "power" that I hate. So what if you can patch this into that a million times over, and re-patch that into this, and then flip this ...

Re: Reason 10 announced!

That was a different post. Mattias said Europa is going against the top wavetable synths, and I responded directly to that by naming the top wavetable synths out there right now (yuck, no not Codex). I wouldn’t expect the Props or anyone to exceed that ultimate thing of sonic beauty (Omnisphere) but...

Re: Reason 10 announced!

...vs Serum/Massive... ...Omnisphere... Which? Massive is over a decade old, whereas Serum is basically the current no.1 CPU-munching EDM ubersynth. It does look like they both have a similar intent to Europa, though, whereas Omnisphere is a huge sample-filled do-everything sound-design monster tha...

Re: Reason 10 announced!

We've of course looked at the market for synths both externally and internally when designing Europa and I think it stacks up extremely well to other "big wavetable" synths on the market. Both sonically and feature-wise. But again, the best way to find out is to try it out once available. :puf_smil...

Re: Reason 10 announced!

Then Thor comes out and is immediately better than any Reason synth. But outside of the Reason bubble so many here seem to be at home in, Thor was mediocre (compared to some high profile VST plugins). But I bet is pees on any stock synths in any daw though. ES2 for example in Logic is horrid. Might...

Re: Reason 10 announced!

Now, only Liam and his crew know for sure, but the guy who first mentioned prodigy in this thread said that all their early stuff was made in Reason, which is not true based on interviews with the man himself. It seemed like he first used Reason for the AONU album, and then apparentley stopped using...

Re: Reason 10 announced!

So you want to prove you can redo a song made with the same app as the original? It is up for debate if the original was made in the same app. According to Davidvilla only the “Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned” album was made in Reason then Liam dumped it because it didn’t sound good as other DA...

Reason is good for getting shit happening quickly, but it doesn't sound like Logic or Protools, they sound better. Strange. I've used both Logic and ProTools, yet I've never heard this mysterious better sound that everyone keeps talking about. In fact, wasn't it selig who helped debunk that whole m...

Re: Reason 10 announced!

The other synths have a nice sound IMHO the early Prodigy albums were made in Reason. Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned was made in Reason. That's it. Not the earlier stuff. And I'm not even going to get into the "sound" of that specific album, as it has already been notoriously vilified across t...

Re: Reason 10 announced!

I think you will be very pleasantly surprised. :) Hope so, but your track record isn't exactly inspiring. So Subtractor didn't exactly set the world afire sonically. Malstrom was ok, but again - meh. Yeah it has loads of stuff you can tweak onboard, but again, sonically ??? No. Then Thor comes out ...
