Re: The Factory sound bank secrets!
Call me shallow, but the way I avoid auditioning a zillion patches in a row is to search for a term that coincides somehow with the title or concept of my song, like "future" or "shark" or "romance" or "cake"... who knows what... try a couple of the patches that come up, and then make the best one(s...

Re: Bug after update 10.2d93
Actually, I'm having a different issue: since updating to 10.2, audio tracks seem not to be receiving audio from my interface. It's baffling... all of the usual preferences are in place. Audio Preferences shows my interface as usual. In the sequencer, I can select mono/stereo input and the various i...

Re: Thinking of Getting a Mac!
As an iMac user for well over a decade now, my experience says otherwise. I wholeheartedly agree. My last four computers, stretching back to 2000, have all been iMacs, and they have all been fantastic. I would happily pit the stability, specs, and performance of any iMac I've owned against any othe...

My Quick 2¢ Review
My Quick 2¢ Review For context: I upgraded from 9.2. I’m not really a synth guy… I’m a guitarist… but I’ve been a Reason fan and user for a long time. It’s always fun for me to play with, and just fantastic for throwing stuff together quick. I use it whenever I need to do something electronic-y, an...

Re: Reason's poor cpu performance
I am fortunate enough at the moment to have a computer with very up-to-date specs: iMac Retina 5K, 4 GHz Intel Core i7, 500 GB SSD , 32 GB RAM. I've always found Reason to be very resource-light... until now. I have been having some audio dropout problems recently, even on very simple projects consi...

Re: Are there any clues in the Reason 10 advert?
...also, there has to be a reason that Reason (ha!) itself is not featured more prominently in this image.

Re: Are there any clues in the Reason 10 advert?
The weirdness of the main image for the 10 announcement all but convinces me that more will come in the point revisions. There's no way that the addition of a few synths is enough for them to seriously be able to call it "the biggest update ever". I want to believe you’re right. Someone pointed out...

Re: Pole: Reason 10 Upgrade
I'll get the update, but... I already frequently find the sheer volume of sonic possibilities with Reason utterly daunting (daunting in a good way, of course, but still), and I habitually wind up spending an hour auditioning kick drums and synth patches instead of making any music. I appreciate all ...

Re: Do you use Blocks when composing?
Mostly for color-coding sections of a song, but I have found them useful when I'm doing very long tunes, or especially when I need to be able to make different length versions of a song. They're great for that, and make it really easy to comprehend the current arrangement at a glance. Most of the ti...

Re: THEMES!
I agree that themes would be nice. My other DAW has switchable themes, and it makes a big difference when you're looking at a screen for hours upon hours. I sometimes like to pair the theme with the tone of the music.

Everything in Db and Hz?
Agreed... I know I should just use my ears, but having only the abstract values of 0-127 to go by when I'm trying to set automation means a lot of trial and error; I can't even set initial volume parameters with any authority.

Does Saving Seem Slow to You?
Compared to my other music apps, Reason 8 seems extremely slow in saving files to me. Over time, I have developed a habit of stabbing the save command habitually every few minutes, without even really thinking about it... sometimes even when I'm just absent-mindedly figuring out what to do next. Eve...

Re: How to tune kicks in Reason?
I'd say just turn the pitch knob until it sounds the best to you. You don't need perfect pitch to hear what YOU like, what sounds right. Who cares if it's dead on what a computer thinks is "perfect tuning" if it doesn't sound best to you? ...And frankly, the tuning for ANY drum is always gonna be a ...

My refills are all on an external FireWire drive (actually my music files are all on two daisy-chained drives... One for the songs I'm working on, one for samples, refills, etc.).
