Re: What Limiter are you using?

I've only ever used CoolEdit/Audition limiter, Mclass and FabFilter Pro-L so can't say I have a lot to judge from. So far my favourite is by far the Pro-L, although I do sometimes still use the Mclass when I just want to keep it simple - and consuming less dsp. Would like to get my hands on the Pro-...

I have my favorite daws in this Exact Order.
Reason, Reaper & Protools.
Curious, aside from UI, Rack and other common Reason favourites, what makes you like it more than Protools?
I feel very much the same but wondering what makes others feel that way.

Re: Update Reason in 10.0.3.

Finally,it loads really quick now. I'll vouch for this. I did a little test on it. I have an old (but pimped out) mid 2011 imac 2.5 ghz i5 Before I down loaded the update I used the stopwatch to clock how fast reason started. Over 3 restarts... Averaged 35 seconds. After downloaded, 3 restarts aver...

Re: Why Reason?

Tried a bunch of other programs before knowing about Reason, none of which felt, for lack of a better word, comfortable enough. Wasn't looking for easy or auto features, just something that made sense to me, and Reason was it. At age 15 in high school they had Reason 1.0 installed in the music class...

Re: RV7000 is highly under rated

Not having tried a whole swath of reverbs, I'm probably a bit biased but I've been very happy with RV7000 over the years. In combination with some channel/band splits, compression, eq, other fx, sends and trickery, it's served me wonderfully, to the point I haven't felt the need for anything else. M...

Re: Any performance degradation in Reason on pre-Haswell Windows machines with new MS patch?

Meltdown is already fixed with 10.13.2 (High Sierra) ... pretty sad they removed the patch from the release notes from Sierra and Maverics, because I'm still on Sierra for several reasons.

Re: Any performance degradation in Reason on pre-Haswell Windows machines with new MS patch?

Generally speaking, not music related, there has been very different reports ranging from no effect to 50% loss. My guess is, due to the nature of the vulnerabilities, i.e. NSA sanctioned, it's gonna be hard to get any real answers until we get to test out the patch for ourselves in this specific en...

About a dozen. A song reaches a certain point when I just feel like it's said what it has to say and any other ideas are better suited for another song. Usually songs will take anything from a couple months to a couple years to finish. I'll spend a few minutes tweaking something now and then, or ful...

Currently using both 8, 9.5 and 10 demo. Can confirm you can have them all installed and work perfectly. However you can only run one at a time, and I did purchase each individual upgrade.

Valuable feature but clunky I feel like this exactly describes my feeling about it. The idea is great but it just doesn't work for my personal workflow.

Re: How do you guys feel about Reason getting rewritten on 11?

Short answer, Yes please.

Long answer, Oooh GOD yessssssssssss, please!!!!!!!!

I love Reason for all its strengths and flaws but it absolutely needs an overhaul. Agree with most points here and realise it would be a lot of work for PH so I just hope it'll arrive eventually.
