…but the round trip latency of zoom would make it more difficult to play together if that's your plan.

Sorry, should have mentioned - there’s no intention of playing together with the tutor, for this reason. I just need need him to be able to hear me play.

Hi everyone. I’ve just started taking guitar lessons again, for the first time in decades. They’re delivered over Zoom, rather than face to face. This means that I need to be able to talk to the tutor over Zoom, and he also needs to be able to hear my guitar and the backing tracks I’m playing along ...

Wow, I'm pleased my innocent little question sparked such an interesting discussion! I've gone back to the track in question today, but I've been focussing the arrangement. The next step is to finalise the guitar sounds before mixing (I like to render out the amp sounds and reimport them as "burned ...

Hi all, I’ve just spent an enjoyable couple of hours playing with my guitar and Kuassa’s Caliburn amp sim RE (it’s superb, the best amp sim I’ve used in Reason). I was trying to set my signal chain up like I would in real life: compressor > overdrive > preamp > delay > reverb > power amp > speakers....

I filled out the survey yesterday. Looking forward to it!

You can automate the on/off button but TBH it's easier to just record the MIDI that players generate then disable the player.

Thanks DaveyG, I’ll try that.

Thanks both, that's really helpful. I'm now able to use Dr Octorex loops in Reaper, which is great. Something I haven't figured out yet is how this works for the new (to me) Player devices which are also pattern-based - they don't have option to disable loop playback, so they also play throughout th...

Hi all, just a quick update... I ended up buying the Arturia Microlab, which has just arrived. It just does the basics, which I'm fine with, and it seems very well built with a nice key action. I'm pretty pleased so far. At first, I thought they hadn't included a USB cable, but it turned out to be c...

I feel sure I should be able to work this out, but it's driving me mad. I expect there'll be a blindingly obvious answer. I'm playing around scoring some video, which means I'm fumbling around using Reaper (for its video support). I'm running Reason 11 Suite as a VST3 in Reaper, which in general is ...

Hi everyone, just swinging by the thread to say thanks for all the suggestions. I'm weighing them up now

Hi all, I'm getting back into music-making after a several-year absence. Something I'm currently lacking is a controller keyboard. I'm not a keyboard player, so I'll mostly use this for playing in little lines that I'll later edit in the piano roll. My main requirement is that it uses as little desk...

I'm also a guitarist first and foremost. I do a lot of midi sequencing in the piano roll, or with drum sequencers. I find I approach it completely differently than playing the guitar - less organic and more cerebral. My programmed music always sounds more "grid-like" and rigid. If you're trying to p...

+1 for JRR. USed them a bunch of times . OP, did you wind up getting the suite? can you post thoughts and also listing of content that it comes with compared to R8? Hi - yep, I did. Thanks to all for the advice. Buying the suite worked seamlessly. Installing it less so - but that was my fault for n...

Hi all, In another thread, someone linked to the JRR Shop offer for the Reason 11 Suite upgrade . I'm currently on Reason 8 and looking to upgrade to 11 Suite. That deal looks good; in the UK, the upgrade to R8 Suite from the ReasonStudios.com online store would cost me £229. The JRR Shop price, con...

Ah... thanks for that link. Not much I can do about it then. I should have thought of that, but I was fooled by the fact that I didn't remember having this problem before... but I'd forgotten that I was on an older version of macOS back then. This sounds like an excellent excuse justification to upg...

Hi everyone, I'm not a regular on here - I drifted away from making music back in the days of the Propellerhead User Forum (where I posted a bit). I thought I'd dig out Reason (the version I was on is 8.3.2) again since I have time on my hands. I'd forgotten how much fun it is! I am, however, having...

Hi all. I used to knock around the PUF (with the same user name), up until it closed. Since then I haven't been doing much music related stuff, but today I dusted off Reason 8 and spent a hugely enjoyable hour or so putting together a little track. I'd almost forgotten how much fun it is! So anyway,...
