Hands down
Guns drawn
Triggers pulled
One will be gone
The duel took another life

Eyes damp
Heads bowed
No one willing
To make a sound
They fear the gun just as they fear the knife

(Downtempo Acid) Melody's 100 Songs for 2022

So here we are, starting a new immense project. My new year's resolution for 2022 is to write 100 songs this year (2 each week, and 2 weeks off) or more, if I feel like it. This is the very first song for this project. Further, the first song each week will be based on the oldest project I have yet ...

Re: Acid Techno Challenge 2021 begins - all welcome.

Working at 125bpm is the opposite of inspiring for me. I'm resenting the stuff I'm writing instead of loving it. Not throwing in the towel just yet, but that's definitely low moral. Strangely I'm normally ok at anything from 120-170 but I'm just not finding a tempo below 140 inspiring, I started wi...

You know I'm a fan of challenges with some restrictions :) but I'm with Melody in terms of synths at least. Melody seems to have been the Reason community's biggest contributor of acid/303 music in recent years and I think that should count for something when considering rules. If having an acid th...

This song was all stock Reason 1.0 instruments and effects and nothing but them, for instance. :) https://melodyklein.bandcamp.com/track/old-software However, I don't really see the need to limit ourselves that much. This is an acid challenge, not a software-minimalism challenge. It's a bit silly to...

Uhm guys, you do know I've written 150+ Acid tracks in the last 2 years, right?

Re: What New Reason Device Would You Like To See?

A physically modelled piano to rival Pianoteq (Radical Piano is fine and all, but it doesn't even come close to the myriad of sounds and sound design options on Pianoteq.)

Among the options you offered in the poll, I opted for physically modelled brass.

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

The Combinator came out in Reason 3, not 2.5. Record was integrated into Reason 6, not 8/9. Rack Extensions came in 6.5, not in 9. VST integration came in 9.5. If you need 4 instances of Thor to come out with a "fat" sound, you don't know how to design sounds. I manage on one Subtractor (the synth ...

This one I just found also is a great insight into WHY people who grew with Reason since the early versions may be disappointed by the last few updates. The guy explains it quite well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiawnZsZbz0 I just wasted half an hour listening to that nonsense. He couldn't even...

Btw, I bought Reason from you in 2010 :D Aah, totally forgot about that. And I forgot it was only for R+R. Still, the PWYW was all about getting more people onto the Prop Shop and buying REs. IIRC Reason 6 basically added REs while consolidating Reason and Record and getting us all to vote on what ...

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

In broad terms, I share the majority sentiment here. I'm still using Reason 10. 11 didn't have any compelling features for me, 12 does have one, with the new version of the Combinator. Back in the days Reason 3 was released, I really underestimated the Combinator, but it didn't take long to come to ...

So 199,- is high, but I hope that they now start a new optimistic mood. Some really good short fired shots of even just small updates for the optimistic mood like: Video Markers Clip Launcher Just for the start, its not that much. And: BOOOOOM There would be a great optimistic mood again and in gen...

Re: Reason Studios shares their roadmap

Yay for transparency~ I don't crave the same features that pretty much everyone else seems to. I wrote 150+ songs in Reason in the last 2 years, and nothing's stopping me from writing more. I'm happy with it as is. R12 interests me only for the new combinator, but depending on what the community doe...
