Set Default Export Format?
Hi, I searched the manual and a page of forum references, but could find nothing about this subject. I only export files in .WAV format currently, and when I have a file ready for exporting, Reason always defaults to the AIFF format, so I have to select 'WAV' from the drop-down list. A couple of tim...

Re: (Classical/Baroque) Bach 'Little' Fugue in G Minor
Hi Benedict, thanks for your comments. I'm especially grateful for your suggestion about designing in Thor. When I first started out, the synths were all hardware and very expensive, but I found it easier to explore them and to create sounds than I do in the software equivalents. I'll certainly take...

(Classical/Baroque) Bach 'Little' Fugue in G Minor
Soundcloud tells me it's two months since my last upload, which is a long time for a 'little' piece of electronica. Bach probably dashed it off in a day. It's a really amiable piece, written for the organ early in the 18th Century, when Bach was in Arnstadt, Germany. I had started started work on so...

Re: (Classical) Bach Fugue in A Minor
Thanks for listening to the piece, and for your comments. Bach reimagined - with drums! Thoroughly enjoyed those. Reverb was a problem. There were others... :-) I'm not entirely new to it all, but not a great technician; still learning. I think Bach is popular not just because of Wendy Carlos' innov...

(Classical) Bach Fugue in A Minor
Written by J S Bach for organ, transcribed by me for synth VSTs, in Reason 12. Patch selection is always a headache for me in these pieces. I need presets that are effective but without too much processing/layering, so that it's easier to tweak them. I found that if I spend a lot of time twiddling k...

Re: Pipe Organ sounds
Hi, the 'Lakeside' patch mentioned above is good (with a bit of verb), but limited. I use the following instrument, which provides 5 different registrations, and is fine for most work. It's free, and there's an NNXT-compatible sample set. https://www.samplephonics.com/products/free/sampler-instrumen...

Re: ReasonTalk Winter Competition!
Naturally everything will be taken into account as a whole. But delivering just a great mix without a thematic consideration won't score as high as a fairly well-mixed song with lots of thematic reference! To put it another way, looking for goose bumps (on all levels) with this one. ;) That doesn't...

Re: ReasonTalk Winter Competition!
I get that this is a comp primarily about making music as a response to a suggested theme. But. How much will the mixing/mastering be taken into account in considering the entries?

Re: Reason 10 early adopter voucher
I'm grateful for the voucher. After trawling through the offerings (Propellerhead stuff only, alas), I finally selected Jason McGerr drum sessions for €25. Better than nowt, I say. They're right, above, though; all the 'full' stuff is €39+, so I'd have had to spend to get it. After buying the upgrad...

Re: Klang, Pangea, Humana - Anyone using them?
Those three aren't things I'll use every day, but when I need a particular sound then yes, I'll certainly fire them up if they fit the bill. I've used Humana already, and found it perfectly fine if it doesn't have too much untreated focus. No problem. Pangea has some stuff I like, but my choice of p...

I wish the OP all the best. These days, music creation software offers a virtual banquet; you can pick and choose among the proffered dishes in a constant environment of discovery, delight, and surprise. If you're even half serious, you have to lay out the cash/credit though, and that can be dauntin...

I'm grateful to you, Chad, for taking this on. Your approach is pitched exactly right for someone who's more interested in 'what it does' than 'what it is'. I've recently been going through one of those times with a piece where no preset in my collection does exactly what I want, but designing one f...

I downloaded a RE to try out, but don't think I'll want to buy it. How do I remove it from Reason 10? Do I need to wait for the 30 day grace period to finish then watch it magically vanish?

Re: (Ambient Electronica) Ataraxia (AmbientOnline.org compilation, Volume 8, Part 3)
Just to say thanks for uploading this enjoyable piece. Sometimes, as musicians, we get lost in chasing 'how did he do that?' or 'I know how he did that!'; it's nice just to 'sit back' and relish a piece of music, with the analytics switched off. I really don't care how you did it; I thoroughly enjoy...

Hi mzeale, to be perfectly frank, if your equipment is correctly set up with Reason for audio recording (and monitoring via headphones or speakers) - that is, if when you speak into your mic you can hear yourself, and Reason recognises and is prepared to record an incoming audio signal, then it's a ...

Hi aftrshok99, only just saw your post. I'm glad you managed to sell the software but it's really awful that your circumstances made it necessary.

Whatever happens, I already jacked my sub. I'll keep a watching brief though; who knows? It might be for the better (it couldn't possibly get any worse - or could it?). There's a time - a season - for everything. SoundCloud had its season, now it's time for something different. Hope they keep the na...

Re: It seems SoundCloud isn't going to last a lot longer.
All businesses change over time (or die anyway). The question facing the owners is: 'How do you hang on to your regulars yet manage to attract new blood - with the same product?' SoundCloud flunked the test. To be somewhat fair to them, there was a need to tighten up the copyright thing. I believe f...

Re: Be honest, do you use presets often?
Isn't composition half of sound design? Arranging the noise is sound design. You're literally just moving the noise with clips. :lol: Yes, there's a compositional element to sound design, but that isn't really what I meant. Traditional composition seeks to combine different sounds in persuasive and...
