Re: Covid Shot and Reason

Any injection can cause soreness. The more your muscles are relaxed when the needle goes in the less sore you will be.

Re: Covid Shot and Reason

Morbidly curious to see where you’re going with this bizarre mixing of two completely different subjects…

I use Reason.

I got the shot.

Before I got the shot, I had the virus. So did my wife, it almost killed her.

The shot is preferable.

Combinator question

I suspect the answer to this question is "no" but imma ask anyway. I have purchased my first hardware synth this weekend (behringer Pro-1) and as such, I have new considerations in routing that I would like to suss out before I buy any more hardware, if I ever do. My synth's audio out is plugged in ...

Re: POLL: VST3 or QOL Priority? What would you have rather seen first?

Thing is “Qol improvements” is a vague umbrella term that most people would want something therein, and vst3 is a specific thing. Pick one specific Qol thing and run it against vst3 and see what happens.

Re: Is anyone still working at the 44.1khz sample rate?

I still use 44.1 for the most part, but the amount of people in this thread who say they use 16 bit depth when working on audio boggles the mind. use 24 while working for the extra headroom, export it to 16 bit at the end, be kind to yourself.

Re: Odd Time Signatures - Do you use ?

3/4 and 6/8 have crept into my music from time to time, and on a few occasions, I have tried intentionally to write in 5/8 or 7/8 just as a challenge, and I’ve not been able to do much with it, the 4/4 is just too ingrained in my bloodstream, I guess. When I fronted a college jam band in the early 9...

Re: IKMultimedia plug-ins: Quality or $1 crap?

Ik's audio effect plugins are solid, I don't know if they outshine the expensive stuff, but I can attest to them being good enough that I don't feel I need to buy the expensive stuff. I like the Amplitube stuff, but not all of it, and the preset selection is a bit of a PITA. Sampletank and the relat...

Finally, I can use Reason in a fully featured DAW. Thank you Propellerhead! Thank you for investing your upgrade cycle to this feature.

Re: Announcing Reason 11

Nothing on the list is currently included in Reason. If I had to guess, you might be thinking of the Drum Sequencer, which was briefly given away as a freebie at launch, and Radical Keys which is not the same thing as Radical Piano which is included in standard reason. Huh? What do you mean by 'not...

In some respect, this is not entirely unexpected.

Reason excels at inspiring ideas, not 64th-note stutter edits, o...

Thanks. If you don't mind me asking specifically: which DAWs allow for "multiple MIDI lanes commiting to a chord track"? Cubase and Studio One Cubase's is IMO more seasoned and better for MIDI composing, but Studio One lets you do the same thing (both extracting the chords from, and applying them t...

Re: So, are you getting Reason 11 Standard, Suite or not upgrading?

there’s going to be pressure to be able to use VSTs within the Reason Rack VST; the other is going to be a push to get MIDI out of the Reason Rack VST so it can be used by VSTs in the host DAW. neither of those would benefit users of Reason as a DAW. my concern is that as VST users pressure Props t...
