Re: Sync All does not work anymore? as before...

I just bought a RE but instead of clicking DOWNLOAD after checkout, I went to My Products and clicked SYNC ALL. Authorizer opened up but nothing happened. However, when I opened up Reason, the RE was there. I checked Authorizer and instead of sorting by Install Date I sorted by Developer and found t...

Re: New Reason Instrument Release Pushed Back, No ETA

i would like a better drum synth than the ones in kong. Ekksperimental sounds' SYNR and DRUMSYN are examples of what I wish Reason had stock. I'm not saying it should be top priority for Reason, but I do agree it would be nice to add. But yes there are alot of things that can still be added so that ...

Free PD-8 Drum Machine Combinator

Hey guys! I've been wanting to put together a powerful drum machine that can handle samples as well as synthesized sounds, so I put together this combinator that I thought met my needs nicely. It's the Proper Drummer 8 (PD-8) drum machine! Download it here on Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/f...

Re: Sampling

i dont mean auto detecting transients by saying lazy chop though! i mean as the sample is playing back, you hit a pad/key and it creates a slice point in real time, all while the sample is still playing. this way you can get real creative with your chops instead of just going by transient detection ...

Wisdom.

Plus, since you bypass all the difficult and tedious stages with auto chopping, you lose out on the experience gained during the process.
Yes.
true but its all in how you use your tools. i still want lazy chop, i promise i wont use it irresponsibly! lol

Re: Sampling

i just wish we could get lazy chop! or at least a quicker and easier way to create slice points in rex files, instead of having to click to create every single slice point. even a copy/paste slice points would be welcome. I also thought it would be cool if mimic could import/export rex files as well...

Reason is Amazing!

We always see the negative about Reason studios all over social media, message boards, etc. as the complaints are often louder than the praise. I just wanted to make a positive post about Reason for a change as Reason consistently blows my mind as a creative tool. Despite its shortcomings, Reason is...

Re: Do you think the nowday's Reason is too CPU-heavy?

a big reason why i went all in on reason was because of their cpu efficiency. i figured their closed system (only RE's, no vst support at the time) would allow them to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to optimization, similar to how apple's ecosystem works. i also went all in on RE's. now they ...

Re: What are the RE must haves?

I always said you cant go wrong with the 3 S's: Synapse, Softube and Selig

However there are a lot of other great developers out there too. McDSP compressors and EQ's are some of my most used that immediately come to mind.

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

I understand bringing the price for the full version from 399 to 499, but I think upgrading from previous versions shouldn't be 199. I think this puts reason among the most expensive to upgrade from previous versions, along with ableton. This puts them at a higher price point in the competitive lan...

Re: Can't figure out how to map Kong/Redrum pads to keys on a keyboard

in order to do this, you must set your midi controller to transmit the appropriate midi notes to trigger Kong/Redrum. http://cdn.propellerheads.se/Reason9/Manuals/Reason_9_MIDI_Implementation_Chart.pdf look at the the last page on that PDF. taking Kong for example, if you want to trigger "trigger pa...
