Re: 9€/month REs subscription plan - your suggestions

I'm taking myself out as honestly yet again RT policy seems to be to excuse the person who started and continued the problem deliberately. Also only an equal rap over the knuckles for the person who took to personal abuse/hounding/trolling/bullying as well as the victim of the whole effed-up situati...

Re: (dark-ish dance-y work in progress) We Frolic as Our World Burns

Aah but this is the magic of really learning something like an NS-10 or an Auratone (the real ones, no idea about the clones and rebuilds) as the more you know how the music feels in them the better it will translate to anything from club to laptop. Getting there is, to some extent, in letting go. A...

Re: (dark-ish dance-y work in progress) We Frolic as Our World Burns

This video version does indeed seem dryier than the album version. had not noticed that. Yes, 242 were big in the remix thing. Lots of people were at the time. Every remix gave you another bite at the market. I am not sure that mixing on a club PA would be wise. You might get it working there but pr...

Re: (dark-ish dance-y work in progress) We Frolic as Our World Burns

If you are talking Front 242 "Headhunter V 3.0" off the "Front By Front" album, it seems to me it has plenty of reverb. Something like a digital plate I would guess. Short but very there. Bright but immediate & clear.

Re: 9€/month REs subscription plan - your suggestions

Assuming it is there for $9, I think the best RE EQ is probably Selig Color EQ. Seems it would be the most versatile and useful overall. I use Qrange, kHs Slice, TDR Nova mostly for surgical and the SSL (F2) for mix tone. Any one of them will do dandy and then add Scream4 or Softube Saturation Knob....

Re: (Deep House) Soleado

A bit of a shock after The Style Council. As you know not my preferred style but the sound is immersive, nicely warm and decently deep (front to back). Some nice moments to draw attention like the echo/rattles.

Well done. Does what you intended I think.

Re: Is it possible to create CC automation lanes without notes?

Yes, BUT you will still need the Track created for the Instrument so Reason knows what device to send that Automation to. You can also use the MIDI Out device if you only want to send CC out of Reason to the (scary) wider world. https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.15752-9/269930241_500547121339459_90...

Your description and what I hear is EBM/Industrial. Finishing does bring more growth than obsessing. There are things that could be done here for sure. But at the same time, it is close enough to call. It is already at a level that it may have appeared as an album track or b-side on a smaller EBM ac...

Re: My #1 Reason that Music Fails - create better Flow

I put a lot less effort into my "Many Moons" album and it was my biggest & fastest-selling album ever! However, while I did not put as much work into melodic lines, countermelodies etc, I still made sure that what was there did feel smooth and organic. Never scrimp on the things that are core to the...

My #1 Reason that Music Fails - create better Flow

If you are looking to make a New year's Resolution around music, maybe this should be it: Make It Flow Better https://youtu.be/8keG8OKpurg I stare straight into the MIDI of a performance that is challenging and without changing a note, make it flow and have character. No, this is not a Mixing Tut. :-)

Re: Mixer: High Pass Filter (HPF) - crackle sound -> normal??

I was suggesting to use the HPF in the main SSL as you had shown as it is going to be able to do exactly what you want if you need to turn it on/off via Automation of the cutoff as it will not change your sound when the Freq knob is at the lowest setting. I will recommend that you step back from the...

Re: Help with Send/Returns and sending one return through another?

Wiring a Send to the Effect and then manually wiring to an SSL Mix Channel is the way, assuming you don't do things inside a Combinator, but I get the feeling you really want the Send>Return>Send thing. However, be aware that this raises potential feedback which is a vastly complex and scary situati...

Re: Mixer: High Pass Filter (HPF) - crackle sound -> normal??

This is perfectly normal. It happens anytime audio is suddenly asked to change state as Mr Dox was saying. Yes, it can be smoothed but that can have downsides too. Those Filters can be left in and tuned out of the way with no impact so if you need one later in the mix, during live audio, automate th...

Thor is a lot like a "real" synth in many ways that modern synths do not manage. Europa can do more in some ways (sonically etc) but Thor is an amazing analog-style approach (System 100 etc).

Re: (Classical/Baroque) Bach 'Little' Fugue in G Minor

The Big B and synths have always proven a nice fit. He composed on Harpsichords and Organs (probably Clavichords at night so as not to interfere with his neighbor's potentially violent Scarlatti & Palestrina parties) so the transition to synths is a natural one. Nicely done. I would say it is great ...

I don't add "how to" advice.
