Quick question. Have you guys disabled hyperthreading already?

I haven't tried it--can that really help? What about multi-core?

I'm not going to get into this any deeper because, legally, I literally can't. Well, I believe it. It explains a lot. Thanks for spelling it out. I'm taking stock of which rack devices I'm attached to, so I can figure out whether to buy Reason one last time, or find replacement VSTs instead. Either...

To sum it all up, even though I don't have x-ray vision to see the entirety of these glaring problems with unabridged clarity, I wouldn't recommend trying to make Reason suit your professional needs. The core of the architecture is unoptimized to a legendary level -- even now. Fun creative play spa...

A few months ago my CPU heat sink wasn't installed properly. My CPU throttled itself so it didn't die a heat death. Windows brought it up to 70°C when idling, and Reason, well.. I used the open source tool OpenHardwareMonitor to check the temp: https://openhardwaremonitor.org/ smart and lucky...gla...

at least there's a 1-2 year path out of Reason now. But if I've read the writing on the wall incorrectly, I can always come back if there's good enough reason to. Yeah, I think the update was a fair amount of work (though it feels expensive for what I need out of it), but the writing on the wall wa...

they're going to find a whole bunch of outdated devices and wonder what the big deal is anyway.

they might find they've fired up a VST with a bigger RAM footprint than anything else they own

I hadn't checked power/performance--thanks!
My buffer's actually uncomfortably high. When it's lower, it crackles nasty. Hm.

I haven't had this problem before. It started a few months ago, and is making it incredibly frustrating to record or mix. I have a 7th gen i5 laptop. Even if I use no VSTs or effects, I'll get a periodic dropout. It does seem to get worse as I add effects. I've tried: swapping my audio interface (wh...

sigh. none of this is really going to help me much. at least there's a 1-2 year path out of Reason now.

did anyone have trouble with Reason (9) and SONiVOX Orchestral Companions? can't seem to get Brass to show up. i've confirmed the VSTs are where Reason expects them, have reinstalled, restarted, rebooted. iLOK indicates it's activated. Twist shows up fine, but Brass refuses.

Use Image-Line Minihost (free, but you have to create an account ; http://forum.image-line.com/viewtopic.php?f=1919&t=123031 ), then load Accusonus Regroover Essential in it... it works... i admit i can be incredibly dense, but there seems to be no way at all to create an account at image-line.com....

- i want to store on and browse from a server or remote drive. as quickly as the OS can. SSDs are still smallish, and i have two laptops. - i'd love to fold/accordion/hide groups of channels - i'd to use 32 bit VSTs without messing around - there is still interface polish i long for after all this t...

how good is this fuzz on bass guitar?

BROWSER: optimize for faster navigation of network drives. viewing directories can be glacial.

i tried to keep all my refills on a NAS but the file browsing from Reason is painfully slow. Reason folks told me it's not optimized for that--sounded like it was pretty low priority. this isn't really a tool intended for corporate pros i guess (not that i am; home servers are fairly commonplace). i...

Maybe this one helps. You can also trigger switching with an LFO. Note, that if you want something muted, you need to switch to an unassigned channel. https://shop.propellerheads.se/product/ab-audio-cv-switch/ https://shop.propellerheads.se/product/ab-12-stereo-audio-inputs-switch/ :thumbs_up: that...

i want to try putting a variety of things on various channels, then play with turning them on and off on the fly--play a mixer like an instrument i guess. does that make more sense? imagine all the channels off, then Kong pads triggering them on (or anything like that that's possible).

i'd love to try unmuting mixer channels with a Kong or MIDI--is this possible? i'm having trouble even figuring out what terms to search for.

I made a speculative post about this. In short: Propellerhead original trio of Ernst, Marcus, and Pelle have been at it for 20+ years. It could be so simple that Marcus and Pelle wanted to pursue other things and Ernst didn't have the means to buy them out himself. If the 60% Verdane acquired were ...

Like with any 64bit DAW it will run native 64bit plugins, as with any other 64 bit DAW to run 32 bit plug-ins they will need to be bridged. Some DAWs e.g Sonar have bridging built-in and some you need to use a 3rd party bridge. e.g jBridge is a popular choice. fortunately, i tried the jBridge demo ...

I MIGHT FINALLY BE ABLE TO USE MY .GIGs!!

everyone's thinking too small, and this new phase will be about money more than usership imo. 1) there are an established group of loyal Reason users, and 2) convincing all the other camps to move to Reason would probably be an uphill battle. 3) are there really many new musicians growing the market...

i'd like to know how long Ernst is required to remain with Propellerhead. if Propellerhead has been profitable, why do they now need (presumably a lot) of capital after twenty-some years? Verdane will want to develop value almost immediately (streamlined number of products? monetized differently?), ...

looking for that loud distorted compressed sound and was hoping to find an IR by someone with the mic/compressor/cabinet kind of chain a harmonica player might favor. not even sure where to start, so ideas welcome!

has anyone ever figured out a way to upward or downward expand with an MClass compressor?
