Re: Reason Rack as a VST

Funny, I was just about to post a topic about this! I have a very strong (perhaps optimistic) suspicion that we are going to see this at some point soon. Looking at the Europa VST, a lot of work has very clearly gone into the port to make it feel "Reason"-y. The fact that you can switch to the back...

Re: Sampling the Samplers....

I’m in 100% agreement with both of you, QVProd and Boombastix....and I agree that the samplers inside of Reason actually very capable....if I just want to sample an analog synth....say, my Moog....all I need is a VERY small snippet of sound. Slightly longer if I include PWM. I’m actually very good a...

Re: Hydlides rant about performance

That may very well be the case: when recording with OBS Studio, the Spectrum window isn't captured... I had to use a different screen capture system because of this very issue. As a side note, it seems to me as if Reason dedicates one of my CPU cores to screen draw. When I’m up at the wall, draggin...

Re: 10.1.2d1 released

It could be your interface. Couple of times on here I’ve seen behringer and tascam users with crackling and popping. Soon as they go to a different interface it’s fine. Sadly all interfaces (or at the least, drivers) aren’t made equal. Found this out when I went from a £120 UR44 to a £699 Studio Ca...

I’m sure some of them are great, but I’d have to guess that many sound pretty dated and stale to modern ears. I’ve got an HDD in my e5000 jammed full of factory and expansion libra...

Re: Sampling the Samplers....

Just a few thoughts about your first point, effort and time: It took me about one month to rebuild a patch from a hardware Kawai K1. First made the mistake to sample every 3 notes from each patch (96 in total), resulting in a huge amount of gigabytes of samples/recordings. Not suitable for sound de...

So, is the consensus that the snare drum dominates the track too much? It’s MEANT to stand out, but not to take over the entire track.

Re: New to Reason, Some Obvious features for players and sequencer

one CC per EMI (I use 10-15/instrument, sometimes per channel on multi-timbral instruments!) There's only one physical CC knob on the EMI's faceplate, but I believe you can control as many CCs as you like from one EMI device, via sequencer automation: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/408139...

Hello, I recently switched from hardware + Ableton to only Reason What made you ditch the hardware? I think that Reason is a truly IDEAL partner for hardware, as the cable-based routing allows for a lot of creative choices. While there are serious limitations (no NRPN, no SysEx, no PolyAT, one CC p...

Yes, I was thinking about this. You say you welcome criticism so here goes.
