Re: My journey with Reason+

I dont mind a subscription based system. However I agree the pricetag for r+ is too high comparing to others. And i don't like the idea of having to upgrade a reason peepetual to keep opening your fkles if you opt out the subscription. For me a 2 year sub should give you acces to a perpetual licenc...

Re: Control Surface customisation

Mapping to Port B did work, but thanks for the advice. Akai natively allows you to send signals on two channels so by just editing the preset I can send the signals to two different rack devices. Locking the MPD to the Master Section works but it’s still a bit of a hack. Ultimately I think I’m stym...

Re: Control Surface customisation

Issue one seems to be the same as my BCR2000, where it loads 2 interfaces at the same time. Ignore the interfaces 2 to 4 and begone. The only thing you must do is to be sure the additional interfaces are disabled on the easy midi inputs if there's a chance they start sending data at the same time. F...

Jazzy Pop - Cabaret's Street

Hi, folks! We have a new EP released past week. As usual most of the production phase was done in Reason, guitars, piano and wind instruments, vocals and drums. The drums were recorded both with reason and a Zoom for the overheads due to channel limitation on the drummer's house but we were able to ...

Re: J Chris Griffin Studio Piano in the Shop

I get it is super dynamic but it is a lot for a piano. Good stuff cames at a price. I don't "blame" the developer but the fact that reason has never had t...

Re: "Black Friday Week" sales have begun in the Reason shop!

(...)I expected that. RS seperated the two by their feature set / parameter set although both share the same synthesis technique. From RS point of view it is best to sell both instead of just one. :puf_smile: More or less like that. The thing with phisical modelling on instruments, is that you mode...

DSP is not CPU.
Agreed, and those 35% might also not be accurate.
If on preferences he has reason in single CPU mode, in fact the cpu core allotted to reason might be at 80+%.

Now that many manufacturers are offering samples, Reason Studios has jumped on the bandwagon.
There is splice, there are producer loops etc etc.
Really? Reason has samples/samplers inside it since it's inception and you feel its only now jumped the bandwagon????

To be fair Radical Piano is/was marketed to be “natural sounding” and for that it fails more than it succeeds, particularly in the middle to higher octaves…Perhaps it’s a piano player thing.

Re: Am I the only one who doesn’t write, arrange, produce, mix, master in a specific order?

I think the order is more important if you are working with other people, so if you have someone mixing and another engineer mastering, you can't do mixing stuff while editing midi or recording your stuff. Still if I do everything, despite sometimes going front and back i prefer to have a process wh...
