Looking for Indi-GO! Refill

Hello asking the community once again to help me resurrect another old session.

Does anyone have the Indi-GO! Refill, I think the filename is "Indi-GO! .rfl" -- note I am happy to pay for this but I don't see it for sale anywhere, or any info about. Any help appreciated, thanks again!

Martin

I typically just use basic mono/stereo reverbs, and feel that the best way to make everything "in the same space" is to use fewer reverbs overall (2-3 tops).

yeah this is what I was trying to say (poorly) ... when I record an orchestra I'll look into stereo reverb :)

Re: SSD Data recovery quoted at $890

OK update -- the computer is a loss but U found an older drive where I *had* backed up everything (at the time), so between the two drives I think I'm good. Phew.

Now my biggest problem is data transfer speed ...

Thanks everyone!

SSD Data recovery quoted at $890

Well I thought I'd backed up everything critical but as I've been reviving old sessions I realize I'm missing a decade of old refills, loops, samples, and Reason sessions that was left on my old laptop, which my wife and kid have been using. Looks like someone spilled something into it. FML as the k...

(Synthwave) Port Streets - Follow Me Home

Hey all, I've continued putting out songs every 4 weeks, I haven't been posting them all here but it's been great to force myself to publish. Here's a poppy synthwave one called "Follow Me Home" - I tracked it in reason and then my collaborator did the bass/drums in ... I'm not sure actually. But it...

Re: Best Reverb for VIntage Vibey Lana Del Rey Sound

This is all great, thanks again all. In general I'm not a fan of stereo reverb (i.e. where the reverb matches the panning), I like the reverb to feel like the same space and to mitigate my LCR panning. So @Selig I'm no sure I'd like 'opposite panning' unless it was for effect, as you say. Definitely...

Re: Best Reverb for VIntage Vibey Lana Del Rey Sound

You could also grab my combinator (if you are on R12) for the Bricasti Impulses. The Bricasti impulses are also free and rivals anything commercially available as a plugin. It will take a little effort to set up, but it is worth it. I've also made combi presets for all the impulses, and I'm looking...

Best Reverb for VIntage Vibey Lana Del Rey Sound

Hey everyone-- I'm wondering which reverb you'd suggest to capture a vibe-y vintage-y heavy reverb vocal sound. So some examples: Mazzy Star https://open.spotify.com/track/1LzNfuep1bnAUR9skqdHCK?si=0d35b5eed49f4be0 Lana Del Rey https://open.spotify.com/track/24jvD83UgLmrdGjhWTFslY?si=ad80a5b8ed94452...

Re: (Indie Pop) Port Streets - Lonelier

Thanks all, I've been offline for a bit. This song is pretty great. The lead vocal is certainly discernible, but I want "more" of it somehow, esp. during the chorus and bridge. (I'm being deliberately vague about what "more" might mean.) Hmmm so I assume you don't mean volume, yeah the mix is a litt...

I hope everyone has been well... Sorry I haven't been around I've been trying to keep my head down finishing music. I've been releasing a new single every 4 weeks and the most recent is called "Lonelier" - sort of Morrissey style melancholia w/ a big joyful chorus. I'm pretty psyched on how v2 kicks...

Thanks for the info! Mostly just wondering how you worked with them, so yes this is helpful. Drums are my biggest challenge for my DIY compositions, so I may consider going outside in the future as well. BTW I also thought 'Jellyfish' (and XTC a bit) on hearing this tune. Good stuff.

That's a great tune, and nice production! I'm curious about your process to 'send out for drums' (which really add to the integrated feel of the song). Did you already know someone vs some job shop, did they play live and convert to samples, etc. etc.? Thanks man-- Usually I finish most of the trac...

Wow thanks you guys. Quarmat you're right -- 'solid Britpop roots'.

Re: Drum Sequencer Needs 'Variations' like the Polystep Sequencer

So I got the mDSQ on sale (I'd already trialed it) and .... it's not a solution. It's too fiddly, and a pain to switch sounds. I'd rather just use REDRUM as a trigger device for 2 and 4 bar patterns. So I end up using a mix or Redrum, Beat Map, and Drum Sequencer...oh and MIDI in the sequencer lol. ...
