Re: Reason Rack Plugin opinions? Experience in Cubase or Studio One? RRP vs. ReWire?

Right now my biggest issue is just the GUI scaling of the Reason Rack in 4k. Studio One running in 4k on Windows does some weird things for displaying non hi res plugins so it makes a bad problem even worse. If Studio One is in high DPI mode (in General tab of the Options), then you can 'force' any...

Re: Reason Rack Plugin opinions? Experience in Cubase or Studio One? RRP vs. ReWire?

The Reason Rack works awesome in Studio One for me. I've made the switch fully to S1 as the DAW and using Reason as an instrument/effect plugin. I tried doing this in the past with Rewire and it was a huge PITA and more limited in what was possible. Right now my biggest issue is just the GUI scaling...

Re: I think I'm done with Reason, should I sell my license?

I'd keep it if I were you. Jump over to Ableton and upgrade Reason at some point and view it as any other VST instrument (ie Kontakt, Omnisphere, etc) that you can use to supplement the built in Live instruments/effects. If you could actually sell/transfer your Rack Extensions and get most of your m...

Re: Multi-timbral VST workarounds in Reason

I don't know much about the Virus or its control VST application but not sure why the following wouldn't work... 1) Host the Virus VST in another DAW that can slave to midi clock (like REAPER, Ableton etc). Perhaps some of the standalone VST wrappers could also do this 2) Setup a virtual midi cable ...

Re: Presonus Studio One

Over the years I've tried/owned so many DAWs (Logic, Ableton, Bitwig, FL Studio, Cubase, Pro Tools, Reaper, Maschine) but as of last year the two DAWs I've officially "landed" on for good are Reason and Studio One. Funny enough they are two of the DAWs I've owned the longest and started both of them...

Re: Umpf Retro Beats

And why do you think that is? Because you - the company, not you personally! - don't really engage in a conversation about what's going on. The only thing where you were open is VST performance, but it was really hard to avoid it with majority of plug-ins running at 80% of efficiency seen in other ...

Re: Plugins that are VST3 only (and other formats, like AU only)

Yeah everything in Absolute VST Collection by Steinberg is only VST3/AU on Mac. So that means in Reason on my Mac I can't use the following plugins (without a special wrapper like Bluecat Patchwork)...

Re: Reason n00b with questions

So what I am quickly realizing now is that bare-bones Reason needs better sound sources. I do not have the time to sculpt and tweak and layer. Looking at those combinators depresses me because it makes me believe the only way to make these instruments sound better is to stack them and smother them ...

things I like really about reason when I use it: - midi note lanes (really wish more DAWs would do this... i hate cluttering up with extra instrument tracks pointing to same device) - blocks (another feature i wish more DAWs would implement). i love how the blocks fully "color" the arrangement of se...

Re: Why actually reason is the worst DAW ever

I just ran into this issue and it's caused me to move production away from Reason again (back to Studio One) until they get VST performance sorted out. I wasn't able to finish my last song even with heavy bouncing. And yes I had a s*** ton of VST instruments and effects going. I vehemently disagree ...

Re: I tried Blocks...

I use blocks on almost every song and it's definitely a feature I miss when working in other DAWs but agree it could much improved. It's definitely useful for me but just a bit clunky. +1 to easily copying blocks to create variations. Also for the love of God let us reorder the block list, that prob...

Re: (Pop/Electronic) The Danger Zone

I like it as a song, I find your voice nice and composition has an atmospheric spacy/epic feel. However, I don't like the production. I feel the mix is too busy and doesn't support the vocal that well, too much space is taken by percussion and pads in crucial frequency regions and they block the vo...

Thanks! Mixing is the bane of my existence lol. Any tips on how to make it not so thin. Maybe I overdid it with EQ? What it really is, is the hats, they are way too tinny! Try to listen to your song in different monitors/headphones. it becomes apparent! Thanks for the feedback. Will check this out.
