Re: Almost all my songs are audibly clipping, what am I missing?

A couple more questions if anyone has time to answer: - What are some strategies to eliminate clipping that stems from frequency buildup? I believe that's what's happening in my song. I like the way my song sounds but I think certain high-mid frequencies are heavily adding up when certain plucks pl...

Re: You Move Me (Indie Pop)

Overall, the song sounds really good. It definitely has an easy listening sound. Maybe the music would be Hall and Oats sounding? Not the voice, but the music. The song has an easily memorable and repeatable melody and the song develops very logically and nicely. The vocals sound really good. It so...

Re: J Chris Griffin Studio Piano in the Shop

I'm glad to hear that this seems to be another slam dunk by Chris!
It makes me excited to see what the "product under development" is, that he refers to in the description of this device :)

Re: You Move Me (Indie Pop)

really nice! the backing vocals are great and gave me slightly chiller MGMT vibes. love the vocals, guitars, and arrangement. the key change sounds very slightly unnatural to me, for some reason—almost as if the instruments were pitched in the DAW after the fact as opposed to playing through the ch...

Re: You Move Me (Indie Pop)

Very mellow, in a Belle & Sebastian, Air, French (or at least European) pop sort of way. I have to admit that, at the point at which the main vocal begins, I was wondering whether a laidback rap would come in – something like Rockers Hi-Fi. Is this all made with Reason? Very interesting to hear tha...

Re: Rack Extension vs VST plug-in prices

I would call myself an RE exclusive user (avoiding VSTs except for a few essentials) and I wouldn't mind if the crossgrades disappeared. If I started using a different DAW then I wouldn't mind using the RRP for my REs

Change tempo keyboard shortcut RANT

This has finally pissed me off enough that I want to bring it up publicly because I haven't seen anyone else complained about it. The numpad is filled with useful keyboard shortcuts that I use all the time while working in Reason (especially when recording), but why in the world does change tempo up...

Re: Is it really necessary to buy a midi controller?

Interesting to see how how differently we all create. Personally, if I could never use keys/guitar or any other physical instrument again for writing music and only got to draw midi notes then I would probably stop altogether. The playing is where I can grab a specific feeling inside me and pull it ...

Re: unwanted thumps and thuds in exported songs

only thing that could cause "echo" might be RV7000 used as send effect on the master bus How did you set this up? Since you can't send the master itself to a traditional send (because that is where they are summed up) this would require manual routing using a mixer or something? Or do you just mean...

Re: Sequencer updates on the horizon

I'm also hopeful but very skeptical.
Any quality of life updates which make working on full productions in Reason easier are highly appreciated, but my feeling is that they prioritize quite heavily the stuff that also benefits the Reason Rack Plugin.

That's good to hear. I'm pretty useless with these kinds of devices and how to use them. So tend to give them a wide steer. Would you say it's easy to use?

Re: "Low-hanging-fruit" feature requests compilation

Hunting down and recoloring the track every time I add a new automation has become so second nature that I've forgotten how stupid it is to have to do it manually in the first place :?
