Re: Apple M2 Studio stupidly powerful, M3 will be ridiculous

M3 Max on the way. Arriving 25-29 (the weekend I'm away, classic lol). Also, somewhat related, I picked up Logic a few days ago and I'm actually in love with it. Finally a DAW that has all the things I like about Reason, Cubase and Live all in one place. I love that you can put Reason as a MIDI FX ...

Re: Apple M2 Studio stupidly powerful, M3 will be ridiculous

I think I mentioned this in another post but I'm JUST on the verge of pulling the trigger on a 16" M3 Max 64GB 8TB. It's scary because it's a huge outlay (for me) *but* I am missing a lot of things about music making on Mac. Being able to get the same latency and performance on a train with a mini k...

Re: Reason Studios 13 or 14 (Future Talk)

Ok I think we should take this to hardware. Reason runs at a live buffer at all times, I would be using the Focusrite USB at no lower than 128 personally for a good balance. latencymon is easy, it will tell you if it fails, and if it does, then you can take a screenshot for me., I think move it to ...

Re: Reason Studios 13 or 14 (Future Talk)

What are your specs just out of interest? I have an i7 11700 w 64GB DDR4 and an RTX3070. On Windows 10 I could stream to Twitch, have browsers open and Reason at 64 samples no problem. Now, I get clicks and pops with just Reason open and like 2-3 tracks of audio. Really bumming me out. All my other...

Re: Reason Studios 13 or 14 (Future Talk)

I chose Ableton Live instead. I realize it doesn't have lifetime free upgrades (which is not unique to FL Studio, BTW), but it does tend to be one of the most - if not THE MOST - popular DAW on the market. And Push 3 does look very tempting. But I digress... isnt it weird how ableton has barely mor...

Re: Reason Studios 13 or 14 (Future Talk)

I am incredibly impressed how well Reason is performing across high core counts and with vst plugins. Incredibly impressed. It is bang in line with Cubendo 13. That was always one of my issues, so now that that's fixed, my needs are a bit simple. All I really want is ARA2 compatibility for Melodyne...

Re: Having a ball with reason 12 - workarounds for a couple things?

Should add that Live 12 just added latency correction in recording. Haven’t managed to try it yet myself despite owning a license but just haven’t had time.

Re: Bouncing mixer channels with fx

FX returns are not printed into each bounced channel. This is the case in most DAWs (Live being the exception, as it will include every tracks FX return into each stem individually). Your best bet would be to just solo each track in turn and export manually. You can speed this up a bit by creating b...

I'll be interested in your views on the new browser. It seems to be somewhat splitting the crowd. I'll be waiting for a sale and for them to have ironed out any blatant bugs before I consider upgrading. It's hard to justify as I really only use it for idea sketching in the session view but I'll end...

Re: Looks like Reason Studios have redesigned their site...

Just had a look at the site on my desktop, overall I like it. I get that it's a more 'youthful' approach to site design but it looks vibrant. I'd agree the massive video that auto plays is maybe a bit visually over-stimulating? Either ease into it or have something a bit more chill. But beyond that ...

I do like Combi 2 but I feel like they could've gone further with it. Snapshots, stepped knobs, exclusive button groups, XY and ribbon controllers, readouts/displays.

I have them here too, was very surprised how useful they've become over the months! My advice: You don't need the VSX plug at all for tracking, right? so just finish up those guitars and track work and then only add VSX when its mix/master time. at that time you can just bump up the buffer to 256 o...

Hey! I just got these a few days ago - first impressions are that they're very cool. I pretty much forget I'm wearing headphones.

Just to jump in here and say I have experienced the same since going to Windows 11.
