There will come a time when it needs to be abandoned. You will know when this time comes. When you can let it go.

Re: Propellerhead Releases Reason 10

I'm not upgrading. First time I haven't for aeons. Truth is I bought NI Komplete when 9.5 dropped therefore I am still wading through learning that shizzle. In R10 I cant see enough there for me to find the money to upgrade when I'm embroiled in Reaktor 6. I will wait for the point release and hope ...

Re: Parallel Compression – what’s really going on?

I'll freely admit that I don't understand that at all. hahaha.

Are you trying to show that parallel compression is pointless unless you have a compressor that does not have a ratio control?

Is there a musical application to any of this?

Re: Controlling Drum Sampler VSTs with Redrum

Here ReDrum running Kontakt Studio Drummer. There are 2 instances of Redrum for 16 channels. You can swap out the two instances of Kontakt for any other VST drum sampler, but you may need to use the CV8X4's to dial in the drum hits, although for the most part this is pretty generic. Unfortunately, R...

Re: Anyone using Line6 FBV MK3 in Reason?

Ok so it appears the 3 is just a flashier version of the mk2, so make sure you have Line6 Monkey Installed and use that to update the firmware (if necessary) then use the Line 6 FBV control application to change the settings of the board by installing the correct setting profile. In the Line6 FBV co...

Re: Anyone using Line6 FBV MK3 in Reason?

I use the Mk2 extensively and have hacked out remote maps for it. I'm not sure what the spec is of the Mk3 - there seems to be some limitations - but I will have a read of the manual at some point and try and figure out whats going on in terms of midi compatibility. There certainly is not a formal R...

Re: Controlling Drum Sampler VSTs with Redrum

I have posted a setup for Propulsion that works with 16 channels here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7490538&p=339679#p339679

I will do one specifically for ReDrum in the morning.

Re: Propulsion is in the shop

Right, here we go, here's 16 tracks of Propulsion running Kontakt StudioDrummer all routed to different output channels with a basic reverb and saturation. You'll need: MolPol - this combines the 16 outs into just gate and note (Thanks Ljekio) CV8X4 - This generates the note data. I have also used S...

Re: Controlling Drum Sampler VSTs with Redrum

The only way I can see how to utilise all 16 channels is to use two instances of the vst. With kontakt based kits you can unload certain drum sounds, so you can have one instance running kick snare hats toms and another cymbals and percussion. By unloading some elements you save some resources... It...

Re: Controlling Drum Sampler VSTs with Redrum

Yes it is great ljekio. I have been playing around with it and I guess there no way to get all 16 of propulsion channels playing the same vst. I have tried chaining mopol devices but they are limited to 8 channels. Also tried combining note and gate from 2 mopol using spiders with no luck so far... ...

Re: Reason 9.5 gets rated 10/10 by MusicTech

That's bang on the money Selig. Advertising in niche markets needs to be separate from editorial by principle or the magazine is doomed. In my experience with music mags that has always been the case, often to the aggravation of the advertising department.

Re: Jump to next block

You could use Bome Midi Translator or similar to convert certain MIDI messages - say a few buttons on your controller - to arrow keys and P.

Set the song up and save with the first block selected and then away you go :D

Re: EZ Drummer 2

I would look at putting Kick, Snare and Hats on mono channels. If the snare has top and bottom mics, or the kick has inserted and front skin mics, sum them to mono anyway. Put the toms on a stereo pair and use the internal pan to place them, the cynbals and overheads on a stereo pair each. If you ha...

Not sure why that would be. Make sure you are plugging only into the left input (mono) channel on the back of the channel strip and you do not have a blue width knob next to the pan pot on the SSL mix fader? :? It works!

Re: EZ Drummer 2

If you assign both the kick and snare to channel 1/2 and then pan them far left and far right in the plugin internal mixer you effectively have 16 mono outputs that can be routed to 16 mono mixer channels. That's how it works in kontakt anyway not sure about EZD as I don't own it. Bear in mind that ...
