Re: "Reason sound" tested :)

Why feel the need to use the same VSTi for each DAW? Why not just use a sine wave sample? Sine waves are pure tones so after uploading the same sine wave sample through each DAW with no processing and exporting you could use a spectral graph to see if any thing was added to the pure tone? If you see...

Can I demo Reason 9.5 with Reason 7 still installed?

I currently have Reason 7 installed on my cpu and wanted to demo Reason 9.5 before I decide to upgrade or not. I stopped using Reason and moved onto Live 9 because of the lack of VST support and now that Reason has finally added VST support I want to see if 9.5 can win me back. I still use version 7...

Sidechain Compression

One thing I like to do is use a separate drum sample to send as my side chain input. That way I can control the decay of the signal being sent. I know how to use the attack and release knob but I find some times I can get it exactly how I want things to bouncy due to reason's unablility to set the k...

What are using to fatteing up your drums?

First thing is always start with great drum samples to start with that is the most important thing. I like using 2 kick drums lately, 1 for the click and the other for the deep bass. For the click kick I find a kick sample the has a nice attacking click to it then I HPF the low end out of it. For th...

How to tune kicks in Reason?

Why not just buy tuned kick drum samples? I've bought allot from Loopmasters.com and sounds.beatport.com and they're not too expensive. I think they range from 9-20$ and they usually come with 100 kick samples.

Mixing Vocals - the part that never gets talked about

Low pass filtering . Don't cut too low. Usually between 100hz - 140Hz is a good place to look, if you feel you need to lose more, try EQ cuts / notches instead as you may lose important stuff if you filter too aggressively. You mean high pass filtering not low pass filtering. If you set a low pass ...

How to tune kicks in Reason?

You could try loading your kick sample into the nnxt, right click and select "set root note by pitch detection". It might work. I myself just buy tuned kicks. Loopmasters.com and sounds.beatpot.com have lots of tuned kick sample packs that are worth the money.

"The Reason sound" - ;-)

I don't think Reason has a "sound" to it, the only problem for me was I could never find usable patches for the style of music I make. I don't have time to study sound design and would rather buy a pro patch library and become inspired when I hear a new sound then try fiddling with Thor (or any othe...

For the Reason 8 naysayers.........

No. Since I started using Live 9 and Sylenth1 I'm making the best music I've ever made before. I find the work flow in Live 9 so much faster than with Reason 7 (or even what 8 offers). I can buy plenty of patches for Sylenth1 that need little fiddling to get what I want out of it. I still use Reason...

Modern EDM sounds

I saw that Predator has a patch converter... Has anyone tried it yet? It doesn't really say too much on how to go about converting the patches. I found a patch set for $3 that I'm going to buy to try out the converter before I spend more money on bigger sets.
