Re: Reason updates (11.3.7 / 11.3.8) and Reason+

There's one thing I didn't understand (and maybe it's somewhere in this 50 page thread but I couldn't find it sorry :)) The blog says that if you're on the subscription you get features FIRST. I totally get that you'll get new REs first. And sound packs first. But does it mean that in the future som...

Re: Reason stuff you've wondered why then suddenly realised the answer.

I didn't understand why "Bounce to REX" on an audio-clip was sometimes grayed-out, and other times available.

Eventually, understood that it's always available if you FIRST double-click on a clip to edit the transient-markers

Re: When is the 0.5 update?

I feel similar: there’s nothing I really need additionally in reason, but there are a few annoyances (track folders, linked clips)

Also, I want to be wowed once every two years please (eg vst, players, etc)

It’s sort of like marriage

Re: Stutter Edit 1 vs 2

FYI, I'd try the Stutter Edit 2 demo if you can (they have a 10 day free trial) I thought Stutter Edit is one of those VSTs that actually took a step back from v1. The new UX is confusing, and ugly, in my opinion. Probably because they moved to a flat aesthetic (V1 was skeuomorphic). A lot of people...

Re: new Reason Studios Player: Pattern Mutator

Bean,

I LOVE how the pattern can be “rotated” around the ring, to select a different start note. That’s a very intuitive way for me to think about it. Thank you

Re: Phaseplant by kHs is out!

Check ot the wavetable editor/generator, and you are sold. If you want to upgrade, take the full road. You can have Snapheap and Multipass in the FX lanes. And you are right, its like Reason compressed in a good usable synth. You can do nearly everything of it within Reason, but without the fast wo...

Re: Does the performance of reason benefit with audio interfaces with built in DSP?

UAD pros: The Dsp card lets you get some fancy plugins that can only be run on UAD. So if you want a Neve branded 1073, you need the UAD “dongle” Offloads some processing from your cpu. With modern processors, it’s helpful to some but not others Cons of UAD Expensive Other manufacturers make a Neve ...

Re: XO by XLN Audio

I like XO, but I've been using it less lately for 2 reasons: 1) If you have a lot of samples (20GB+), the XO window can hang for a couple seconds when you first load the plugin. This is not a blocker, but is annoying 2) I went back to using Umf RE more, because my samples are already organized into ...

Re: What features does Reason DAW have that others don't?

My favorite aspect/feature of reason is being able to do 99% of tasks without having to access menus or dialogue boxes When I used to use sonar, I was deep in menus daily. There was a customizable button-bar, but the default button-bar layout was overwhelming for me, so I never explored it The only ...

Re: Good way to copy effects to send FX?

After the steps folks recommended, you still need to change your fx to 100% wet (since it’s a send fx now), and engage the fx in the mixer
