[TECHNO] HAPPY OCD

https://soundcloud.com/danclapson/happy-ocd This is HAPPY OCD. Having a bit of trancey/acid style arp sequence fun this afternoon with my Novation Peak. I recorded the arp, live tweaking any old knobs as it went, and then processed it into a mix. Oh and I had to add a little bit of drunk ranting in...

The track sounds very good ! May be you could share some details on your mixing / mastering procedure ? I also like the sounds and how the track evolves. TLDR warning!

Something different for me... this is PLAYING GAMES. It's melodic and heavily based around the lyrics. With percussion flourishes to add flavour.

What's a bit puzzling to me: Why not make a basic version of RRP free? RS still developes fine Rack Extensions like BV-X, Chord Sequencer, Objekt, etc. Let's say you have no Reason license and you are not interested in any subscription but you would like to buy and use Objekt.

Re: MusicTech: Niklas Agevik talks Reason

Interesting debate. I jumped away from Reason DAW a few years ago and chose Studio One instead. I do not regret that decision. Reason for me is now RRP. I won't go into too much detail as to why I did this, as it's been discussed on this forum thousands of times. In short... Reason DAW lacks many fe...

Studer A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder now £39 / $39

If you are after what many believe to be the best tape emulation in plugin form then there is no better time buy it. Obviously I am referring to UAD's Studer A800. You don't need UADs hardware anymore as it's available in Native formats for PC and Mac. For details: https://www.uaudio.com/uad-plugins...
