Re: Reason 12.2.9 Release Notes

I seem to recall rs saying vst3 and m1 will be definitely in 12. I am not sure if I saw it here or on another social platform but pretty sure I saw this response from a rs staff member. I cannot see these features being just for next rs version even if they are not completed by the end of year as c...

Re: Latest Roadmap (21 March 2022)

Seeing this latest road map has crystallised my view of what to expect in the future. I think Reason Studios are working their way back towards their original concept of Reason. I don't think they have the right people or desire to keep the DAW side of things (Audio, Midi, Sequencing etc) up with th...

Re: Mixer advice please

Hi Raymond, hope you are well 👍. I haven't used any of those specific mixers but did have a xenyx qx1002usb and it was solid with use able fx. I have a behringer 1820 and I'm thinking of expanding it with a behringer ada8200, so I'm just wondering what went wrong for you, as it seems like an elegan...

Re: Mixer advice please

Hi folks. After a failed experiment to expand my Focusrite 18i8 with an ADAT expander, I am going to buy a mixer to feed multiple synths into a single input. Would appreciate any experiences or views on these brands or models, which are within my budget; (about $400 NZD / $200-250 USD) ALTO PROFESS...

Re: Reason still has the "wow" factor ...

Nice to read that too. I sat down with the latest update yesterday for the first time in months (apart from mastering) and wrote most of a song in about 4 hours. It was a mainly pleasant experience apart from the odd short lived audio glitch which I'm guessing is still some sort of bug as my dsp met...

Re: New synth advice £1000?

Depends on what you want to use it for? Those you listed are all good choices. If you want something really versatile and with an amazing sequencer that can integrate well with your DAW then the Elektron Analog Four is worth checking out. As an analogue Groovebox it is superb but the sound divides o...

Re: Reason Studios updates their roadmap (November 17, 2021)

Oh, the Jazzmaster is a real thing? It was the most beautiful looking and best sounding guitar I have ever played. I hurt me to have to send it back. Even though they offered me a repair and some money back I still wouldn't be happy paying over €2000 for a B-stock guitar so after some deliberation ...

Re: Where do think Reason (Studios) are heading in the next couple of years? (Speculation thread)

I think the venture capitalists will sell up if there's a sniff of a buyer. Who knows after that? I guess it will depend on who buys it and whether the current staff will be motivated by their direction or not? And whether the new owners feel they've got the right staff for their direction or not? ...

Re: It seems that Hyperthreading on eats all my CPU

Hyperthreading in Reason has always been janky/broken/poorly implemented from the start - I seriously don't ever see this changing any time soon. For those of you who did see performance increases when using it, I'd wager you're the rare exception to the rule. It really bothers me that so many of u...

Re: Behringer

I got it 2nd hand for £350. I have it on a stand and it feels like a quality instrument to me. I love to sit down wit...

Re: Auto de-Resonance tools like Soothe2

I use soothe when I can hear something I don't like. I then isolate that region using the filters in soothe. Then when soothe is only working on that region I adjust the effect until the problem is reduced enough. I find it very quick and easy to use and I can render the audio and remove the plugin ...

For me the pricing of REs just doesn't add up. I have a new perspective after investing in some hardware synths. I totally realise that RE devs have to pay a high proportion to RS which is a shame because if they were 30% cheaper that would alter my perspective. Spending £50-60 on an RE isn't going...

Re: Build a new hardware setup for making music - no display anymore

If I wanted a very compact good value for money set up that also plays well with a DAW I'd get an Elektron Digitone and a Roland MC-101. I have the Digitone, it's just plain great. 4 audio tracks and 4 midi tracks... So you could sequence the mc-101 from it. I had the mc-101 and will get one again. ...

Re: Unique/creative synths

The Waldorf Blofield. It is very menu divey but with 16 part multi-timbral and 25 voices it's extremely capable. And very well priced 2nd hand.

However if you don't want a other digital synth, the Dreadbox Typhon is great for sound design. Modulation and FXup the wazoo.
