Now the real work begins...singing with confidence haha Heheh - go forth and sing! ;) Slightly related: what are you using for vocal de-essing? For the record, I strongly suggest Selig's DeEsser Rack Extension if you want to stay ITB with Reason. Even with VST available, Selig's DeEsser is probably...

Here was my thought process: 1. I needed a reasonably sensitive mic, but my building complex also has a lot of ambient noises (kids, nearby tennis courts, upstairs neighbors who seem to always be moving furniture, etc.). So I also needed a mic that wasn't going to pick up absolutely everything. 2. I...

This is a question without an answer.

Just want to let you guys know that I got the Shure Beta 58M, and am very happy with it so far. Thanks for all the help!

It's more a workflow thing. If you have more tracks, you don't need to use as much automation, and it can be easier to do edits. But it also takes longer to set up, you also need more CPU for all the inserts, etc. So it's a trade off. You actually don't need more inserts. I have a lot of situations...

I've never had issues with speed on Macs, as the software is optimized in such a way that it will run efficiently even when your computer is getting old. On the other hand, any computer will encounter issues with running a lot of stuff at a time, so the most important thing with any Mac (IMO) is to ...

Nice tracks, I was like this can be featured on newretrowave channel on youtube then I found you : )

"Tropical Summer" was on NRW, though this one was on Luigi Donatello!

(And yeah--G&T is the vibe!)

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

No plans to add vocals for this one, but I am doing an album (out in 2018) that's going to be 2/3 to 3/4 vocal tracks!

Looks great. I'd actually say feature wise it looks about on par with Satin actually. For Studio One users definitely as the grouping feature of Satin is basically built into S1 Mix fx. .... the track crosstalk integration is pretty sweet. i really hope we will se channel cross talk in Reason soon....

A friend of mine has made a lovely, Juno-style chorus plugin. And it's free! Highly recommended--I use it all the time now.

So I'm mainly decided on the Shure Beta SM58. Question: do I *need* a pre-amp, beyond what I've got in my interface (Komplete Audio 6)?

Thanks everyone. Sounds like the Beta SM57 and Beta SM58 are at the top of my list. Does anyone have experience with the Audio Technica AT2035 or AT2020 condenser mics? Those had been recommended to me as well. As far as the Røde NT1 goes, it's very nice but too expensive here in Singapore--goes for...

I like REs, but I use two DAWs and a VST/AU will work in both, whereas an RE will not. So unless it's something really special (like Steerpike BBD Delay and Expanse) *or* there's a free crossgrade (as with The Legend), I'll get the version that works across platforms.

I'm going to record vocals at home for an upcoming album, and so am in the market for a microphone. My budget is not big; I am currently looking at the AT2035 (condenser) and the Shure Beta SM58. So my questions for those of you who are more experienced with this stuff: 1. Where do you stand on cond...

Also, I use both Macs and PCs; in my experience Macs run Reason better than similar spec'd PCs (because OSX/MacOS and Core Audio are more efficient in how they handle audio than Windows and ASIO) and can then run the software for longer (e.g. my 2008 iMac still running R8 reasonably well, even thou...

I'm giving it a 9, because there are still features I wish Props would integrate (like the very simple freeze tracks option you have in Logic).

But the VST integration is just fantastic.

I've run reason on every iteration of OSX/MacOS and never had this or any other problem--which isn't to doubt that others are experiencing these issues, but rather to question the assumption that they are widespread. Also, I use both Macs and PCs; in my experience Macs run Reason better than simila...

This is not Mac hate. I have no hate for Macs or Apple. I'm just stating WELL KNOWN facts. You are paying 2-3x price of the similar PC hardware when you purchase an Apple computer (I've owned iMac once - and on a positive side, you can sell your Mac hardware and make most of your money back). Compa...

Gorgon, I've been using Reason on Macs since 2005 and never had those (or any major) issues.

Chained the VSTs I often wished were available to use in Reason (Diva, Pro-R, EchoBoy, etc.) to all the modules and REs I often wished were available as VSTs (Expanse, RV7000, Steerpike BBD Delay, etc.).

Cool stuff, man. I also make synthwave (though quite different from yours). Nice to see there are a few of us on here!
