08 Reason Rack in other DAWs

Reason made a bold move a few versions back to make the Rack (Synths & fx) as a VST3 to run in any (compatible DAW). While not my preferred path, this really opens the scope for the Reason thing.

Posting this to say I have no opinion seeing having an opinion that is not approved of is opinionated. I will not be...

I listened. I cezsed to have...

Look in Edit-Prefs-MIDI Controllers. You can assign several "surfaces" for different purposes. My P6 appears as two devices, one for Instruments and the other for Mixer. Interestingly enough I can right-click map a mix slider to control a synth parameter. While you can set up any device that follows...

Benedict but there is a melody on this one! Circa 3 minutes in. I half-expected someone to say that. Perhaps if you define a melody as any collection of notes that move. I think what is there may do reasonable duty as an Ostinato - a repeating fragment (a Riff), it would struggle to be a Motif, and...

Out of curiosity, my question to you now would be; do you still think you'd feel poorly about the current mix if it had been the only version you heard? That's really important for me to know going forward too. Anyway, thanks for listening and giving me serious thinking points for my next project. ...

Why not just make your own Template - starter - and set it in the Prefs?

I have no idea (or care) about all the sub-sub-sub-genres in EDM. I will say tho that the suggestion was that there would be melody. That seems the total opposite of what is here. Maybe that's the whole idea of the thing?? Otherwise, it's tight and clear. Seems to carry along ok (for something with ...

A lot of the 79-82 stuff would have been old analog and or new digital devices depending on how fancy the studio. I think the thing tho is not to be thinking of what device/s but what was the mindset. https://benedictroff-marsh.bandcamp.com/album/beauty-of-the-darkness This record was chasing a simi...

That is a fabulous idea, but of the two tracks I have been swapping between lately one (synth-pop-cum-disco-muzak) is now done and the other (angry goth/industrial) is awaiting a guitar part from a friend with whom I would not want to set up a competition. :puf_smile: No worries. Maybe another time...

How are the keys themselves? I am interested in a new 61 Key but can't try anything locally. The few shops stock nothing - and don't talk to you if you aren't a guitarist. That leaves driving for 2 hours on a punt or punting online. And your answer will be a bit irrelevant anyways seeing the 49 is a...

I moved this to Reason Song Files forum, which seems like a better place than the Competitions forum.

Fair 'nuff.
So long as it is not just another 'move to purgatory' outcome

This is not a competition but it was here or in ReFills and this isn't quite that. What is on offer are three Song Starters that I made but were not used for the project. They have a thing about them and are definitely finishable. I just don't feel like it as the project (and year) are done. I moved...

07 - Sequencer & MIDI https://youtu.be/jEV1Cejlx2s?si=Gbvj5GY1PQy4DlEM Reason really comes together in the Sequencer. A DAW is a holistic environment - not just the result of a list of menu items of technical tasks. Reason works very well as a whole. This makes making & mixing music thing flow much ...

Initially I was a bit unsure on House but I barely recognize most things people call House now. I was there early on (often not really digging it compared to my loved Hi-HRG-Eurobeat). Once the bass comes in tho it is a classic House progression, vocal (assume) samples too. I like it but wonder if t...

Nice tight - restrained but driving - sound. I hear what Mr Tone hears. It is great to hear layers in the mix from reverb/echo, a few things do perhaps seem very forward. This may however be part of how the piece feels the way it does overall. So perhaps try what is suggested and then see if others ...

I'm giving this a whirl because a) I know you and b) the cover art is honest. If it were AI, despite knowing you I would probably skip. First track, nice. Lovely to hear melody and pretty sounds (I was still expecting paint-stripper sounds). Yes suddenly a different vibe with an Industrialized feel....

I got one of the first Lunchkeys and the top octave didn't play in Reason. Initially, Novation told me I was a trippin' fool. After I sent proof, they checked and admitted the top keys in the 61 did not work in Reason (who cares if they work in Ablebum). I was asked to wait a minute for an update. O...

I tried it yesterday. Interesting but odd and obtuse. Not sure if bugs (maybe in Reason) or unimplemented features but some things just didn't seem to work. Effectively impossible to get exact Ratios. Interestingly cloning what I did make in Algo by the numbers, resulted in a very different sound. I...

It's not about the music any more, it's about the fake live performance :( I was going to say - rather huffily - that I don't do fake live performances but we just made a "live action" (read poorly mimed) video for my partner's Synth Pop EP so perhaps I have a limited leg to stand on. I know what y...

Do what you do, put it on Bandcamp (not Spotifry) and see if you can find a tribe. Is Bandcamp a good place to sell songs? I was curious about that. Have you made any money there? I like your work. Thanks I was going to post pics of my BC Stats but it is a lot of effort here. So here are the number...

It is a new setting that was discussed with 13.1
I assume the existing Trigger Notes When Editing in General Prefs will sort that for you (along with mouse click triggering)

On the Technical side : Jane has R+ and I of course being old and ever-so-tough use Reason 13.1 thank you very much Jane moused her chords and vocal melody at her workstation (desk) and we carried that to my studio (which also has a desk - but a better one) and laid a guide vocal. I then worked on ...

Initially the newer version is more even and generally makes more sense to the rule-driven forum dweller. Then a few moments in I realize vocal is less natural or approachable. Same with the 'guitar' sound that scratches at me. I worry that you did the first version driven by passion, BUT the new ve...
