Great song! Reminds me a little of the Smiths. Did you do it all in Reason? Which version? Thanks.

Dean.

I'm going to try to use both for now. I used to use Ableton back when it was at version 7. I was just a beginner at that time so really didn't get to know it much. I transitioned to Reason shortly after that, and got into music production big time using Reason stand alone DAW. Now that Reason is now...

I am contemplating purchasing the Komplete 13 Collector's edition. With the Collector's edition comes a TON of expansions, that primarily target Maschine users. I tried Maschine a few years ago, but it just seemed like working in a DAW inside of the DAW that I was using, and just added one more leve...

Hi there! So if you don't know by now there's a sale this month at Native Instruments offering their Komplete 13 updates/upgrades at 50% off. I'm somewhat tempted because I have Komplete 11 ultimate, and so I'm still on Kontakt 5 instead of 6, and everything that the Ultimate package contained. What...

You just bought 20 something REs. That's crazy. And no bundles either. I have a bunch of REs that I love and could mention, but I'm afraid you might go and buy even more. If I were you I would spend at least 5 months and make some music with all your newly bought REs before buying any more stuff. N...

I like it. Where did you sample the vocal? It sounds great.

Well, in general you'd want to put delays and reverbs on their own separate send track, and so you send just a part of your original signal to both send tracks. There's a way to do it so that they have their own mix channels, so you can eq and comp them on their own mix tracks. In terms of the amp s...

Nice. I tried to work with hardware synths in the past, but soft synths are just more convenient at this point, and much less hassle to work with. Do you find the sound of the hardware synths are worth all the extra work to produce music with? Thanks.

Dean.

I like it. The key modulations in the song I wasn't expecting. It terms of genre retrowave is ok. Synthwave maybe appropriate too. Can you tell me which synths you used for the song? Thanks.

Dean.

I ended up buying a lot of REs this time. I bought several synthesizers, the Pink Noise ones (great presets!), Resonans, Morning Star, Zoetrope, Nautilus and Solar (updates), Meteora, and Blackpole, and Helium. Also grabbed Kompulsion and Evolution. MeloDramatik, Inspiral, and Pattern Mutator. A cou...

So this is a song that I wrote a few years ago, when I was just learning how to mix/master. I decided to re-create. I had to do it almost from scratch because the laptop that I'd saved the song on, I mistakenly threw away. I was left with just the initial audio recordings. Well, I was able to finish...

No. Each lane involves multiple pad parts. I want to solo a LANE, not a pad.

I came up with a work around, but I wanted to see if anyone knew of another solution.

I didn't have a clue as to how to do this. I have a Kong track with about 10 lanes on it. What I want to do is to solo the Kong track AND solo just one lane on the track quickly? There are NO SOLO BUTTONS on the lanes, just MUTE buttons. The only way I know of is one by one mute the lanes you don't ...

Underwhelmed. It's sad really. I'm sad. No mention of sequencer improvements. How about a shortcut to choose grid resolution? How about Mixer improvements? Mixer groupings/folders? Just new devices. How many hundreds of devices will you be satisfied with? Browser improvements? So what? I'm glad I've...

I ask this question because I've recently decided to downsize and concentrate on one or 2 DAWs as my main tools. So I know Reason the best at this point as I've worked with it for a good 10 years now. 2nd place has to go to REAPER as it's the 2nd DAW I used the most, and it has a lot of options to c...

I did a little bit of looking and it looks like these keyboard shortcuts don't exist, but I will open the topic here if anyone has any input. I'm working on a song and having a keyboard shortcut to change the grid size would be so so nice. I know about the relative grid size by zooming in and out, b...

I don't have that Icon, and I'm in the most recent version of Reason 11. I have it now that I did the above click and drag, but didn't have it prior to that. Why didn't I have it?

D.

Don't worry guys, I solved it. What you do is right click the user folder, which will then say "Open in explorer". When explorer is open, you can click and drag the Packs folder into the Reason Browser favorites section.

Dean.

Hi All, I've just started trialing Reason+ tonight. So I installed the Reason Companion app, and browsed the available sound packs (very impressive actually). I install about 8 of them, and then went to look for them on my computer. So the packs install to a folder that is normally hidden from view ...

It sounds good, but the vocal I think should be a little lower in volume, and maybe put some reverb and/or delay on it. It sounds just a little too up front in the mix, and a little too dry sounding. Good effort though.

Kept waiting for a chorus, but it never came. But the verses and the bridge were nice.

Thanks for the constructive criticism guys. I made a couple changes, sped it up a little bit, took out an unneeded percussion part, tried to tone down the reverb, and also tried to back off on the compression and the limiting. Now I think it sounds better, but it's not perfect. I'm still learning ho...

What do you guys think of my new song?

Hello, I had this same exact problem. Yes, if you are using Reason, Delta Midi Computer player is the solution. If you are using another DAW, you can use Max 8 by Cycling 74, which is kind of a more advanced Delta Computer. With Max 8, you have to set up a virtual midi connection, which can be a lit...

Nice. Good job. I like them. I also like how they are rhythmic and dancey, but not too fast paced or harsh like some EDM these days.
