Re: Kontakt Loops in Reason?

OK - so it seems within the keyboard mapping of the loops, there are keys that play entire loops. So it you record that midi note, it plays the full loop during playback and if bounced, bounces the entire loop as well. I guess that's the solution but open to any other ideas that people have! Thanks.

Kontakt Loops in Reason?

Hi! I recently bought the new NI Session Percussionist which runs in Kontakt 7. Getting running was easy but I am pulling my hair out trying to get the following scenarios to work (which I hope must be possible). 1. Recording the loops that come with Session Percussionist (or that you make) into a R...

Re: Active Input Channels

Thanks - it's a really cool feature I've realised, however it came to be there :-) As you say, recording basically anything off my computer.

Active Input Channels

Hi! I've noticed something on my Reason setup that I can't figure out. It's not causing any problems but keen to understand if anyone knows why this is happening. I'm running an Apollo Firewire (with Thunderbolt card) into Reason. When audio is playing (either in Reason or anywhere e.g. Youtube in m...

Re: Audio Driver Stopped Working

Also - if that was the case wouldn't it be causing problems for all audio not just Reason? Everything else works fine. Thanks!

Re: Audio Driver Stopped Working

Hi! Thanks for the response. It's the FW -> TB adaptor for the UAD Firewire Apollo that slots into the port for this in the back. I think that the only 1 you can use? https://www.andertons.co.uk/thunderbolt-3-option-card?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gclid=Cj0KCQiAt66eBh...

Re: Are you taking advantage of blocks?

Blocks could be amazing for music arrangement but I don't get why you can just draw in Blocks in the regular sequencer e.g. blocks for intro, verse, chorus etc or different versions of intro, verse, chorus etc and not have to go into Block mode. If you could just draw them in a the top of the sequen...

Audio Driver Stopped Working

Hi All, I've got a situation with my Reason set up where pretty regularly I get the message "Your Audio Driver Has Stopped Working" and then I have to go into preferences, select another option and re-select my regular driver to keep going. This is new since I upgraded my system a little while ago. ...

VST3 Question

Ok - I'm going to ask the question: what are the main benefits of VST3 being available in Reason? I understand it's the latest iteration, less CPU consumption, certain plugins are VST3 only (like UAD Spark) but the sort of demand it seems to have (and emotion it's caused) seem to go beyond that?

Hi All! Does anyone have any clever ideas around exporting songs to listen to/check them on other sound sources during mixing/mastering e.g. phone with headphones, car etc? Right now I export as audio file, import into iTunes then sync to my iPhone to listen in the car etc. It's not that big of a de...

Many thanks for the reply.

Hi! I've found a lot of info around this topic using various work arounds but was hoping there was a simpler solution.

Hi All - Arturia released an update a little while ago 4.1.1.3554 (for Analog Labs) which either corrected this problem for me or it was corrected some other way as I don't have this issue any more now. Thanks.

One more thing!! you mention you can "you can move the Remote Base Channel to scroll through the Mixer channels".

Re: Midi Controller/Mixing Board for Reason Mixing Console

2 more questions occurred to me. Can you use e.g. Vestax VCM600 for the mixer while using another e.g. keyboard for instruments, at the same time (i.e. you don't have to switch over from one to the other in midi settings)? I imagine it's just a question of what is set to control what i.e. mixer cont...
