+1 for Saturation. Love me some Soundtoys Decapitator. I must say, it looks so fancy! : P My dream was doing all analog work... As the RX950 contest showed, you can get some really great work out of simple stock Reason devices! I’m almost entirely “analog” (in that I’ve got a bunch of analog synths...

Hardware samplers. I sample and resample using each sampler for its strengths before sending it on to the next one....often this way I won’t need any compression and I get some unique distortions of the sound through aliasing, quantization error, transposition errors (“grunge” from playing somethin...

Thanks a lot man! I programmed a quick EP in Thor and popped the RX on it....it's really interesting to hear the mix with and without all the devices! Even when I take it off the main mix buss it loses a lot of the great "old sampler" flavor. I own a 950, along with a bunch of other samplers, and I...

I’m sorry, but I completely disagree. They should NOT sound at the same perceived volume because our ears are not balanced. See the fletcher-munson curves for details. Even when a monitoring system is calibrated to 83dB SPL sine waves will sound louder as the spectrum gets higher....to a point, and...

I'd suggest equalizing your headphones to flat response, first. That with the sine wave method, where you listen to sine wave tones at different frequencies, and equalize one at a time, so they sound equally loud I’m sorry, but I completely disagree. They should NOT sound at the same perceived volu...

WELL DONE!!! Super chill and atmospheric tune, I enjoyed listening a few times. Despite going for pure 80’s cheese with my tune I loved the very modern approach to this song. I can hear the RX950 in plenty of places, but I’m curious to know how much of this is synthesis vs samples? I was able to lo...

Now that I'm under no constraints, I'm going to take these 40 samples and work with only them....I'm sure now that the pressure is off I'll produce something brilliant :-\

https://soundcloud.com/jimmyklane/akai-dreams I saw that a moderator said "you can use player modules"...I took this to mean the ID8, but am I wrong and that just means the note echo and arpeggio devices? If so, please get back to me after checking out the track so somebody can tell me if I need to...

https://soundcloud.com/jimmyklane/seramik-akai-dreams-2 Here is my final submission. Short and sweet....a nice hopeful vibe. Having listened to the tracks here, I went a very different direction but there is so much talent displayed in all the submitted tracks! Take a listen, I'd love to hear your ...

I love the IDEA of RE's, and I've demoed a ton of them, however, I've recently switched over to Reason as my full-time solo DAW. Previously I was using Nuendo and VST's with Reason rewired when necessary. Therefore I have many many more VST plugins than dedicated RE's...I'm buying the RX950 if my so...

A question for those that know more than I do: can I use ALL the stock effects? Convolution reverb, vocoder, Retro, Syncronous, etc? I understand the instrument limitations, and in fact I’m using all samplers with the RX950 bolted on, but for example one of my sounds depends on filter and gain FM f...

I just saw this competition this morning and have to leave Reason running so my trial doesn’t end! I actually signed up to the forum for this competition....but I see there is a lot of activity and some super cool work done with just the samples and stock Reason. It makes me wonder why we all clamor...
