He mentions something in the studio that is different as a hint of what's next ... Only thing I really noticed is he now has some kind of audio meter device underneath the 1176.
Isn’t there an SP1200 to the left?

Re: How to tune Drums...

Usually I’ll pitch them up an octave to better hear the pitch and if it clashes with the key of the music. Agree with the pitch bend you usually get with percussive sounds though so can make it challenging depending on the sound. Definitely best to use your years and see what sounds best.

Re: Zooming in R9

Zooming in Reason on a MacBook has always been a bit of a problem for me and definitely relate to the problems others have mentioned in this thread. Does anyone know what the proper shortcuts for "Vertical" zooming are? When I try following the shortcuts mentioned in the manual for me it seems the h...

Re: Reasons performance

Could be worth trying a PRAM reset? Usually helps sort out any weird visual lagging for me on macOS.

Here’s some info about how it works .. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/thenextw ... r-mac/amp/

Re: Adam Fielding's Livestream Thread (next stream-date in first post)

Hi Adam.
Really enjoying the new stream. Always find seeing how you use Reason and your music making process super inspiring.

On the topic of sci fi movies, I wondered if you’d seen the movie “Upgrade” from last year? Can really recommend it if you haven’t.

Re: A word of warning to others - Don’t “mark as lost” if you forget to de-authorise Reason after doing a clean OS insta

Was probably my own fault for not realising there was a limit to the number of times you can mark the computer as lost. I’d gotten in the habit of doing a fresh install of macOS every time a new major version came out and had forgotten to unlink the old authorisation before continuing to install the...

A word of warning to others - Don’t “mark as lost” if you forget to de-authorise Reason after doing a clean OS install.

Only discovered recently after doing a fresh install of my OS that if you forget to de-authorise Reason and click “mark as lost” when trying to re-authorise the software then it can result in you no longer being able to authorise using the computer itself. I contacted support and after a week I got ...

Re: Reason 11 is the reason why Reason will Prevail

Have to admit at first I was pretty pissed and insulted at what Props/Reason Studios were offering as an “upgrade” to Reason itself with v11. A small handful of half arsed features that they probably programmed in an afternoon. At first I thought it was a huge shame as I think myself and a lot of ot...

Re: Announcing Reason 11

Sad to say I have to agree with a lot of the negativity about the Reason 11 announcement. I think the main problem is a lot of us that use Reason solely were expecting a lot more than what’s been shown. Whilst it’s great for users that previously owned Reason and then switched to other daws, having ...

Re: Do you think Liam Howlett owns the latest copy of Reason?

Huge long time Prodigy fan. Have to admit I’ve been a bit underwhelmed by their last few albums. The new one was a bit too short and safe catering to a live audience. Got Music for the Jilted Generation on vinyl and it’s still one of my favourite all time albums. Fat of the Land had some amazing tra...

Re: Do you think Liam Howlett owns the latest copy of Reason?

Last I saw from Instagram photos over the past few years he was still mainly using Logic Pro in the studio alongside various bits of hardware. Pretty sure he used one of the preset sounds from Sylenth on one of the tracks on their last album (The Day The My Enemy). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Recently Purchased or Updated RE's Have Trial Restriction

I ended up having to de-authorise and then re-authorise Reason on my Mac for a few rack extensions I brought the other week to stop it from asking to login and can use them offline too

Re: Really hanging for this Peformance Update

I’m going to make a prediction, the VST performance update will be Reason 10.5 and will come along early next year with some beta testing along with it prior to the main release, maybe February/March but not long after that we’ll get an announcement of Reason 11 to follow in the summer.

Migrating from Win to macOS - what software issues should I expect?

Been using Max to convert audio files on Mac for years now. It’s a free program and allows you to specify the format, quality and output location in the preferences to it. It’s quite old but still keeps on working with every macOS update and remains my go to for the task ... https://sbooth.org/Max/ ...

Re: Umpf Retro Beats

Have to admit I feel a little underwhelmed. Part of me would love to hook up the Kong and wire the pads into the Gate inputs of this just to utilise the bit reduction and tape saturation for an old school MPC style workflow. I just feel it’s a little over-priced for what it is. Might be tempted by a...

Re: Goodbye Hydlide?

How odd. Did find it odd if Props had revoked his licence based on what we’d seen him talk about so far considering he hadn’t really gone into any details or done anything that breached any licence agreements in the 2 videos. I wonder why he claimed they’d revoked it? As much as Reason does have a l...

I don’t really understand what’s happened here or did I miss something?

Think drloop is correct. I used to use Reason rewired into Logic 8 but think I would have been using Reason 6 at the time which yes I would assume both would programs have been running in 32 bit. I still do rewrite a lot even now and also do the same with Ableton. I absolutely loved Logic 8 when it ...

Made the jump to Ableton after toying around with it on and off over the past few years. It feels wrong in some way, like I’m cheating on someone where Reason has always held a special place for me. That said I still plan on using Reason and rewiring it into Ableton as part of my workflow. I really ...

Would look amazing if Props could make the mixer dark and similar to the brainworx one you have above.
