Favorite Reverb Device For Extremes?

Hmmm...that would be Valhalla Shimmer. Inside Reason? Hmmm...Polar automated through the RV7000 in a tweaked Big Blue or Filmscore setting. Maybe doubling up on the RV7000 using both presets and sending them to different channels.

Worrying about sampling content, melodies, or chords? Creativity itself may now be threatened...

There is certainly a song formula for every genre (looking at you EDM) and Pharrell and Thick certainly know that. It's been that way for decades if not longer. The dawn of time? Maybe. Skrillex name drops a few NI products and the dubstep masses pull out their wallets or head to Pirate Bay. Samenes...

The Dark Side: Gothic, Industrial (Dance / Rock / Metal), Futurepop, Shoegaze, Post Punk... anybody out there?

I've mellowed quite a bit with age, but the noise bands of the 80's/90's got me through high school and art school. Good times. I had the pleasure of seeing Author & Punisher live a few months ago, and it was face melting awesome. He builds his own gear, software and instruments from the ground up. ...

The Most Stupid Features and Mistakes in Reason ?!?!

I am usually there to defend Reason from the Preset Generation and to expound on how well it delivers a competent tool set. A DAW should deliver an easy painless way to record your musical muse and Reason does that in spades. To pick it apart with personal feature wishes and self grandiose entitleme...

Wunderground review of the new version

I got the humor. Funny and true, adding that every DAW is like that, let alone uninspired musicians. This is a perfect example of why visiting Soundcloud/Bandcamp is like wading through a swamp of tepid unfinished crap just to get to a few finished songs that MIGHT be good.

Remember 'Dave' from Boyinaband?

I don't think I ever saw him use Mal or Sub. Always Thor Thor Thor, notch the EQ and add three Scream4's LOL. Kidding. He was quippy...I'll give him that, but I'll pass on this video.

Softube Guitar Amp RE

I have to say that I've had the opposite experience with ST Vintage Amp Room. I thought it was a real average amp sim no better than the new Reason amps. Obviously every guitarist has different tastes and needs. I don't do a whole lot of buzz saw guitars, and for me, Nomad Factory Guitar Legends has...

they were upset that people were saying they don't care about their customers so they made the point of proving them right it seems. People have been saying that for ages.

SomaFM

That's a great place for cool tunes and for waking up the muse! I've recently been looking for some really chill liquid D&B, but without all the caterwauling vocals...without much success. The Brits like their D&B stations, but they tend to shout out through it all and ruin the listening.

Good video. Propellerhead criticism.

I think the big shift the Props are making is going from desktop computing to tablets and mobile devices. Their userbase is growing fast and because of that they started using the same model like most app companies do. Forums can be cool but most startups won't use one. They are all of Facebook and...

it is a good point that it isn't compatible with reason 7 though, or actually any other audio app.  why would i collaborate with people on the basis that i own the same DAW as them? That's the jist of it though. I don't often collab with peep's on my electronic music, but when I do it's mostly with...

One of the very few Hydlide vids I haven't watched all the way through. Just a vent...just an exasperated sigh with swears. Big deal. Still had more laughs and class than the PUF at the end. YMMV.

That is...unless you prefer peep's throwing their opinions around about a new guitar RE without even plugging one in.....

Wow so Props beat NI to the punch. But NI seems to have done it better.

You know what Reason does better than NI? It records real actual guitar so you don't have to rely on Kontakt for those awesome acoustic tunes of yours.

Question about Slide guitar aka Lap Steel Guitar aka Hawaiian Guitar

I do quite a bit of guitar slide work, and so I don't need to rely on the samples and the like. I don't think there is much for Reason in that area. Much that would sound authentic anyway- some things are still better played. There is the Wavelore Pedal Steel. It sounds pretty good I guess. If you h...
