Re: Reason 11.3.9 Release Notes

Warning: hot take ahead. I'm speaking purely as an outside observer as I've now moved over to Logic completely (and love it), but it does make me more than a little upset to see "Trailing and leading whitespaces are automatically trimmed from Reason login username field" as the third most exciting f...

Re: Westworld Scoring Competition - Win every Spitfire Audio library

You won't believe how bad the winning entry is! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qsi7wP024J4 Without wanting to come across too "sour-grapes," I agree and feel a little disappointed in Spitfire (who I usually like and respect) for this. I get that taste is subjective and they were looking for someth...

Re: Westworld Scoring Competition - Win every Spitfire Audio library

This was my entry! Recorded in Logic but features quite a few Reason synths. What a great opportunity - it's really hard to find movie excerpts with no music but dialogue and SFX left intact so a great chance to practise, I hope some other companies follow suit in the future. https://www.youtube.com...

Re: Strange audio problem - no inputs?

Strange audio problem - no inputs?

UPDATE: This is now fixed! If anyone else is ever having similar problems, make sure Reason is allowed to use the computer's microphone (you can check this in macOS Security & Privacy settings). Hi all, Very weird new issue, all of a sudden I can't seem to get any audio into Reason at all! My interf...

Re: Couple of MIDI Limitations with 11.3

Secondly, the Rack is not multi-timbral in that each instance of the rack on an instrument track will only respond to 1 midi channel, no matter how many VI"s and/or fx you have in that rack. Yeah this is sadly almost a deal-breaker for me with the AU version too. It seems almost pointless to have t...

[Electronic/singer-songwriter] points - How To Build A House EP

Finally got round to finishing and releasing my old/new EP, all recorded in Reason. It's taken about 2 years to put together something I'm vaguely happy with (although some songs are even older) and it's the first time I've released anything for a good few years.

Really lovely. How did you get the bends? I mean, did you randomize the pitch bend or something?
Thank you! The pitch bending is all just from subtle CV modulation of the delay time on the echo and the time on the reverb.

Re: (Improvised/Generative) Sketch 090818

Thanks both of you! I'm really into using Reason as a big ol' modular synth nowadays - PSQ is a godsend for that, and I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of what it can do.

(Improvised/Generative) Sketch 090818

Just an impromptu late-night wishy-washy ambient moment. I'm currently experimenting with PSQ-1684 a lot, I love it for all things generative, modular, bleepy and bloopy. This time it's hooked up to a couple of Pangaeas with pluck/struck piano sounds. A little bit of gently morphing Europa pad on to...

Re: Should Propellerheads turn Reason into a AU/VST and focus solely on content rather than being a DAW?

They don't need to, that's what rewire is for. ReWire is great but it has some serious limitations and "clunky" (to say the least) implementation. No audio in, limited automation/MIDI mapping, no preset management... I'm sure there are more. An update to the ReWire protocol would be very welcome bu...

Re: Should Propellerheads turn Reason into a AU/VST and focus solely on content rather than being a DAW?

I've posted about this a few times recently, glad I'm not the only one thinking it! I don't know if they would have to entirely "ditch" the idea of being a DAW, but I can certainly imagine a world where the Reason rack becomes a plug-in. This would be a dream come true for me personally - I currentl...

Hi all, I like my Minilab MkII for throwing in a suitcase/jamming in a hotel room kind of purposes, but I'm yet to find any sort of remote mapping for Reason. The keyboard and pads work fine, but it would be nice if the knobs automatically controlled whatever it was focused on like they do in Ableto...

I've been looking for ages for some Combinator skins that I used to have but have now lost, maybe someone can help me!

They were super simple, almost just the standard design but in a few different colours and labeled "pad" "lead" "bass" "FX" etc, they were so very useful!! Any leads??

Re: How to save Kong 16outputs as combi

I don't think this is possible I'm afraid - as far as I'm aware, mix channels can't be saved as part of a Combinator. When you save a combi patch, you are only saving the settings on the white combinator unit itself and of course any devices inside it. You could save a new template though, and set i...
