Re: Looks like Reason Studios have redesigned their site...

If you're trying to attract more users to your product by changing your website while keeping your product the same, I'd say you're doing it wrong.

Re: Are you taking advantage of blocks?

I would like blocks more if you could more quickly pull elements out of blocks or put them back in. (like right click on clip and bring out of block/send to front or send to block). Having to switch between 2 different modes and copy/paste stuff is annoying. Other janky things are needing to draw a ...

Re: Are you taking advantage of blocks?

Say you had a block that has 4 sequencer clips on screen. You paint that into the sequencer and it's greyed out showing the data. But then you want to modify the last bar on one of the tracks. If you could just right click on the clip while not in block view and say "copy to sequencer" and then dir...

Re: Are you taking advantage of blocks?

Being able to send sequencer clips to block or pull clip (move/copy) from block to sequencer would really speed up workflow. Say you had a block that has 4 sequencer clips on screen. You paint that into the sequencer and it's greyed out showing the data. But then you want to modify the last bar on o...

Re: Are you taking advantage of blocks?

I don't use Blocks but would welcome clip level blocks (aka looping clips). What is frustrating to me (and what might help change my use) is having the ability to pull a clip from a block to the sequencer quickly like on the right click menu or something. When I want to make changes to the arrangeme...

Re: Reason 12.2.8 Release Notes

I would love if they improved Track Colouring. Using drop down menu is tiresome and very hard to do accurately with a mouse. Would be way better to click on some button and then choose from a 5x5 list or something. More efficient, don't you think? Ableton has it best, just right click and choose fr...

Re: How to sidechain in Reason, exactly? Is there an easy way?

I'm just wondering how to do this with sweeper now either on the insert of a bus like exode does or via sends like chimp's spider or sweeper method Sweeper's envelope is triggered by CV (control voltage - ie a gate), not audio for those cases. So, using the stereo imager to separate out frequencies...

thanks a lot bro! really well done and easy to follow along. the great option is the band split. but i feel like selig, chimp, or exode might be able to route a way to do this native as well :lol: What do you mean route a way to do this native?

Re: How to sidechain in Reason, exactly? Is there an easy way?

I think the terminology has been lost along the years. Normally you feed a signal into a compressor and compress said signal on its own based on threshold, ratio, etc. A sidechain input allowed you to compress a signal based on a DIFFERENT audio signal (fed into the sidechain input). This is where t...

Re: How to sidechain in Reason, exactly? Is there an easy way?

How long is too long? Right now my kick in particular track that I am working on, lasts a bit more than 1 second (or 1 yard for our American friends. Ok bad joke). And it sounds pretty good without any side-chain or compressors. Only put OTT on a kick. I do not even know right now if I need it at a...

Re: Redrum bug

Your Redrum track is muted and won't send gates when this happens. Take notice of the Mute light on the device. This means that the sequencer track for the device is muted.

Re: How to sidechain in Reason, exactly? Is there an easy way?

Kick can’t mask the bass if it’s a traditional short kick. It doesn’t last long enough to ‘clash’ in my experience. This is so often the case with modern kicks... they're too damn long! Shorten them up and see that in most cases it'll help with mixing and your track won't translate to a big club sy...

Reset Robot's new album (heavy use of Reason)

https://www.attackmagazine.com/features ... set-robot/

Brief breakdown of each track on his new album (releases tomorrow). Lots of Reason (and Reason stock devices) used on the album which is really nice to see.

The album also sounds really nice if you're into that style.

Yeah that bug is news to me :o

Already threw it in a Combi, lucky we have so many ways to do things, thanks :)

To workaround put Echo in Combinator and map rotary to master > input mode and automate the knob.

Re: The Echo Mode select automation

Right click on switch on Echo and select Edit Automation. It should create a lane for you to edit. Also record a blank space and manually toggle the switch. This will write automation data to a lane.

Re: Panning & stereo panorama

There's definitely no rule stating you need to pan anything. Does it sound better when you do? Keep it. With regards to extreme left/right if you are going to do that, save it for special effect type things, temporarily. It might sound really unnatural to have an element hard left the whole song. I'...

There's also a new adaptive zoom functionally that when enabled will adjust the grid to match the zoom level. The closer you zoom the finer the grid gets.
