Re: Deal of the week: Chenille (EUR25)

Anyone on the fence about this chorus effect should read this. This chorus is the best I've used and the only chorus I use regularly because it sounds great and is very easy to use. The way it brings a lead synth to life is amazing. Sounds very nice on vocals as well. And there are tons of patches f...

Re: Resonans Physical Synthesizer on sale

Bought this synth during the sale along with Hydronexius because I'm drawn towards any synth in the Reason rack with a sampling feature. The GUI is one of the best I've seen. I messed around with it the other day, dropped in a sample and started turning knobs. This thing will be my go to for plucked...

Re: Free Classic Filter from new dev MagmaSonic

Hey, just wanted to give my input on this filter as I've used it quite a bit since it came out. This filter is very easy to use and automate a sweep quickly. I'll throw it on the master bus or route any given channels to a new bus and automate a filter sweep on that. Out of all the filters I have, t...

Re: VST instruments freezing the plug in window Reason 10

Just wanted to add that I've also experienced Xpand! 2 freezing up on me regularly. Running Reason 10 on Windows 8, I haven't had a problem with Hybrid 3, yet. All of my other vst's seem to work good for right now.

Re: Europa feat request. Expansion card for update?

Well, seeing as how the EPS was a sampler (not strictly a sample loader) with synthesis capabilities but not a synthesizer, I am having a hard time connecting the dots in your post. "sample loading, premapped to keys, anything a refill could not do (unless it's Europa and no samples loadable)." What...

Re: Need to replace my MAudio bx5a and maybe get a small line mixer...

Yea I would go with the JBL 305's. I don't think there is a better studio monitor at that price point. Looks like the're on sale too for $99 a piece which is an absolute steal.

Re: MClass Compressor vs Rack Extension Compressors

I agree that it can be hard at times to distinguish differences between compressors, especially since they all somewhat do the same thing. It's easiest to tell the differences when the compressor settings are pushed, but with light and more moderate corrective settings it can be almost impossible to...

Re: New Loops Song Challenge!

It's amazing to hear what can be done with such a simple set of samples. I read a comment earlier in this thread stating that the samples weren't for them or they didn't know how to make them work. I think the great thing about samples is that they can be anything you want them to be, and figuring o...

Re: ReFill Recommendations

Kings of Kong is a must have in my opinion, especially if you are into the vintage drum machine thing. As far as sample based refills are concerned, I would check out what Pink Noise has to offer. I can attest to Epik4, Virology, Revolver, Orange, and Proton as all being great sampled synth refills....

Beer! (and liquor)

So I was thinking earlier (hard to believe I'm sure) as I began to pour a Belgian style ale in an icy mug from the freezer; I wonder if there's some amateur producer in Russia pouring up a Baltika about to get on Reason and pump something out with the Ivoks. Or some Rasta dude in Kingston drinking R...

Wow that is very noble Mr. Blam, although I can see how revoking the licenses could be problematic.

Re: Reason's last useful native audio FX was over 6 years ago...

Just wanted to add that Radical Piano has a (Mono) audio input. So it's basically an extra eq, reverb, and a (very limited) compressor for R10 users. I know it's not much but between that and Synchronous, which is a very fun and useful effect, I think you are getting quite a bit in the FX department...

I wouldn't necessarily say that Boom 808 sucks but it definitely has it's limitations as does the step sequencer. Although I do like the 808/sequencer combo to just get a good simple groove going, I can see how someone might want more from a designated drum synth RE. I always have an issue getting a...
