Re: Reason Drum Kits panning question

I'm currently working on a track that uses Reason Drum Kits. I'm running into all kinds of mixing issues because of the limited routing possibilities. I've already been considering building my own acoustic kits with Kong because I do have several good sample sets, but that is a serious project on i...

Reason Drum Kits panning question

In the Reason Drum Kits rack extension, using "The Blue Note" patch, I find that when I solo "room", the snare is on the left, but when I solo "overhead", the snare is in the centre. The only way I can see to get the room snare to the centre is to change its width setting to mono, though I had wante...

(Alt Rock) Edo Relics

Good afternoon from the former Edo, Edo Relics is another song I've only just got round to properly mixing into a final form, so I've done a video for it to celebrate. It's about the benefits and drawbacks of social cohesion. https://youtu.be/oZ6DQs2kBSU I used Reason Drum Kits, Softube amps for the...

(jazzy folk perhaps) Towel

Good afternoon. I left this song three-quarters finished four years ago, but now I've finally added a few sprinkles of magic keyboards and guitar, and mixed it properly. https://youtu.be/sdJY4AiTprk The video features a winning combination of Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, and the Royal Opera Ballet.

Re: Turned Fiction ( Classical Jazzy indie )

Nicely melodic. The drums seem to batter the song a bit too much though, and overpower the centre and gentle keyboard sounds. Maybe just making the drums half as powerful would work. Or replace them wholesale with bongos or Indian percussion. Haha, that would make them how I'd like them, but possibl...

Re: (Electronic) - Germanium 74

Sounds good. Interestingly busy. I'd like to be able to hear what the voice is saying more clearly though. It seems a bit of a waste to have spoken words if you can't understand what they're saying. Or is it just me who can't make the words out? I try not to be influenced by other comments but I mad...

I guess the poly means that the sounds will ring out and not be cut off from a new trigger or a closed HH.
Yes, that seems to be right -- I've just checked and they do continue to ring when another hi-hat is struck.

Thank you!

Reason Drum Kits question

Hi all, In the RDK operation manual, the keyboard layout for keys D#4 and E4 (alt hi-hats) are marked as "POLY"; what does "POLY" mean? The RDK refill manual is a bit more descriptive: keys D4, D#4 and E4 are marked as Op 1 Poly, Op 2 Poly and Op 3 Poly respectively. "Op" must be "open", but what's ...

Re: Sparkable (Downtempo-Slowjazz)

The intro and less busy parts sound very cinematic. I think you have a good variety of sounds – they sound very distinct and varied in size. I like the relaxed feel. As for the arrangement, if I remember correctly, most of the female vocals were early on in the track and you only came back to them t...

Re: [Finnish Rap] - Lössi Nittura - Dj Fusion Star

The music sounds good. I liked the relaxed vocals and steady pace of the music, which remained interesting by having lots of variation among the repetition. I think you could mix the vocals better – the upper range sounded a bit harsh and trebly with a lot of sibilance. They sometimes mask the other...

How do you get YouTube audio into Reason? (on a Mac)

Hey Reason wizards,

I'm using Reason (10) and a Mac (OS Catalina). I want to get onscreen audio into Reason. I'm not too bothered about sound quality (that's sacrilege on here, I know!), but I just want to use things such as dialogue from films, etc.

Any help appreciated,

A non-wizard.
