Re: What makes Reason a great “Idea Starter”?

What makes Reason a great “Idea Starter”? Ease of use. And what is the difference between a full blown DAW and a creative “idea starter”? A full blown DAW gets you "further". But they can also be idea starters. Marketing as great idea start is very strange to me. Any other DAW manufacturer can make...

Re: Auto de-Resonance tools like Soothe2

I had Soothe2 on my list of plugins to review for HigherHz. I was interested to see what the hype was but at the same time very dubious because: 1. So far I have not heard any positive use of it (or Reso) where I don't just feel like it "gutted" or un-funned the sounds. 2. I tried the oekseound de-...

Re: Auto de-Resonance tools like Soothe2

I always watch this guy .. He breaks down the parameters of the plugin first , then shows you some examples . . Not being funny , but the other guy uses the factory default preset on all examples and only moves the depth control . I wouldn't think many examples would sound any good if you only use i...

Re: Reverb Narrowing with SSL Width

The best thing to do, is to place a reverb on to the channel , Then you can control the width of the reverb as well . As a bonus when you pan that instrument to the left or right the effect will also move to the left or right . I hope this helps . Sends already follow the panning of the channel, bu...

Re: SADIST Saturation & Distortion device in the shop!

Great device . just one question . Are the EQ`s parametric or graphic ? PDME615 & PSE315 is parametric, Lo shelf, mid bell and top shelf. DEQ Drive is a bipolar eq, like a bottom/top shelf combined with a drive circuit. More for adding some crunch and do pretty wide tone adjustments :) Thanks for t...

Great video. A more in-depth CV video next time please! :clap: Great video as always . I must be the only one that cringes seeing Ableton or any other music software in a Reason Studios video . It's just marketing. They want any ableton users that happen upon this video to see that they can jump on...

Re: Gain staging in Reason question

I'm working on gain staging a song at the moment and wondered if there was really any difference between adjusting the volume of the Rack Instrument vs adjusting the volume on the mixer. It's all digital so I figure there isn't but I thought I'd ask. No , there is no difference . That's if you mean...

Re: New Pricing for Reason 12 - Upgrades now 199 from 129

There is nothing in a Reason update worth that much. This will be my last Reason upgrade, just so I can get M1 and High res graphics. I understand inflation, but reason is giving less and less each year while the competition gets better and better. How many failed half assed business plans have the...

Re: Vocal Processing Combinators

Hi, I'm looking to improve my vocal chain. At the moment I just use a Neptune, A Softube Saturation knob, an Mclass compressor and a rv7000 reverb. I have Reason 11 so I'm thinking there's probably better (free) options for building a vocal rack that can I can use as a default starting point for my...
