Yeah I got that. Same here. I’m just saying if you record a bunch of low freq stuff at 192 and pitch it down 3 octaves you’ll see a big drop off where the thing you were recording wasn’t making any higher freq noise to begin with. Which is the case for a lot of stuff. Even if you excite the hell ou...

Yeah it totally depends on how you work in Reason. I just didn't want to get stuck with another machine that couldn't handle the way I like to work, so I went all out

Hey guys Ended up getting this: 2.3GHz 18-core Intel Xeon W processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.3GHz 64GB 2666MHz DDR4 ECC memory 4TB SSD Radeon Pro Vega 56 with 8GB of HBM2 memory Whoa! Really interested in whether the 18 cores makes a substantial difference, and if so where that difference is noticed....

well, we can’t sell for a year, so i’d rather be safe than sorry. i use a literal ton of REs/VSTs and Props won’t give us a darn Freeze Tracks option.

Just once JL. Stop with the DOWN PITCH.. we know, we know... you like LESS... I want 'a little more than enough'... there. All the belly-aching about speed and resources with MBPros and you bring up the AIR... again. I have an Air... yah!!! I have a MBPro ... yah!!! ... so do others.. and I hear ma...

Cool ok that’s what I was trying to figure out thanks.

I've built a lot of custom PCs in my day (and custom Macs, which of course are really just PCs), but I'm afraid those days are done. I also work for Apple so I get a huge discount off things like iMacs, iPhones, Mac Pros, iPads etc. The worst thing about making a custom PC is trying to sell it as on...

Ok so Reason can take advantage of the 18-core processor? I'll be less likely to run out of CPU power with that vs the 10-core?

Ah ok, thanks normen. Any thoughts on iMac Pro specs I should aim for? Is anything a waste of money when it comes to Reason performance? i.e. an 18-core processor, or going to 64 or 128 RAM, if I'm not using a bunch of sample-based instruments? Though I think I read something else DAW-related uses a...

I want to be able load projects with lots of tracks, rack instruments, VST instruments, effects etc. (Though I should probably note I don't use a ton of sample-heavy instruments.) What specs should I aim for if I get the new iMac Pro? Would Reason be able to take advantage of an 18-core processor? W...

Not sure if this is the right forum. How do you re-map Kong or Redrum pads to keys on a keyboard. I just want to simply choose which key triggers any given sound. I tried a lot of things, including right-clicking a pad and trying to do Remote override -- but the option isn't there. I spent a good 30...

Ahh ok thanks

Thanks for the info. Never doing Hackintosh again. I got to a point where I just had enough. What if I got a maxed-out iMac for now, then just waited until they release a new Mac Pro, and sell the iMac and buy the Mac Pro when they do.

So i'm assuming the 5700 RPM drive is more than 500MB/sec?

Would it be better to get the SSD drive and then use external SSD drives via USB? I already have two 1TB SSD drives and the USB bay for them. I'd just prefer to not have to deal with ejecting disks and all that, and I like having as few cables as possible. I went for a 512GB SSD in my 5K iMac and d...

Thanks everyone for the info. Tronam: Ha cool. Yeah, I definitely considered that, but I just really need to get going on this album. I've had it more or less finished for a year now, and it just needs some finishing touches. I don't have a personal computer at all right now, so I just need somethin...

ok I should prolly say, I work at Apple and get 25% off plus an additional $500 off (once every 3 yrs), if I buy from Apple. would I still save money elsewhere? or, if you were me, would you still buy an older model?

The Fusion drive is only 5400rpm? Should I be worried? I use a lot of audio tracks. Lots of tracks with lots of little audio clips spread out everywhere.

Thanks Tronam. I just can't wait any longer. You said you went SSD. Does that mean you've never tried a Fusion drive? I do have two 1TB SSD drives that I was using with my Hackintosh. I have them in a USB bay thing that I'm assuming I could use with my new iMac. Would the speeds not be the same thou...

Looks like it doesn't support four 16GBs.. the max you could do is four 8GBs.

Do I pull out the two 4GBs and put the four 16GBs? What is a good brand? Crucial?

Doesn't RAM really only help with big sample libraries and such? Are there even any REs that are all that demanding from that perspective?
