Okay... Then what features are you looking for? How many inputs do you need? Are you recording with microphones? DI? All in the box? More information please...

Two hundred or more

What's your budget? (i.e. what do you consider to be "inexpensive"?)

...that works seamlessly with Reasons
Standard features without learning curves

Things to be downloaded: Reason 10.1 update Updated Reason Factory Sound Bank Drum Sequencer (for free from PH shop during the month of May) Any other Player Rack Extension you purchase from the shop I'm not sure what you mean by "embedded as standalone" - they are now implemented in the same way as...

Thank you to Mattias and the Reason team! This is a great update and fantastic news.

You can download the Drum Sequencer player by Propellerhead here: https://shop.propellerheads.se/rack-extension/drum-sequencer/ It's not included in "stock Reason" at this time, and will be free only during the month of May. Players by third party developers (i.e. all the other ones) can be purchase...

Gibson have been in the news for quite a while now regarding this and related issues. No surprise there. I think the brand is iconic enough that it will live on in some fashion - either it gets its act together and refocuses on making quality guitars, or the brand gets sold to another company (hopef...

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. I agree, these are some of the best ReFills I've ever had the pleasure to use. :) I had a lot of fun with this article - I hope to do more like it in the future! Today, Nick from SKP Sound Design releases his second ReFill: Europa Grid Sequence. Check out this amazing...

Yep, what QVprod said. Also, the Propellerhead ToS (https://www.propellerheads.se/agreements#eula) touches on that exact issue of reselling: d. The sound samples and musical examples that may be connected to the Software may NOT be reformatted, mixed, filtered, re-synthesized, or otherwise edited or...

I've never really thought of Radical Piano as a device for hyper-realistic piano sounds. 'Radical' is in the name, after all! :D Personally, I've gotten very usable sounds out of it, and as others mentioned, I do find that it fits will in mixes without much effort. And I think there are some very go...

My new album, Motion, is available now everywhere (hopefully). All created in Reason, and mastered in Ozone 8 Advanced. A bunch of these songs were about 80% done and I went in and finished them, and added some of my more recent stuff. Let me know what you think! Always learning and trying to make b...

Yes, the Scarlett Solo will work for you. Only reason I don't normally recommend it is because the line outputs on the back are unbalanced - might not be a big deal to you, particularly if you're not using monitors. I've also occasionally heard that the Solo is of lower manufacturing quality than wh...

You will need an audio interface. Lots of good beginner options. Usually this is the one I recommend: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Scarlet2i2G2--focusrite-scarlett-2i2 Howdy, I have an iMac, it doesn't have a dedicated audio in jack like all my previous Mac Pro models. Can someone point m...

Thank you all for participating! This was a super fun challenge and all the entries were excellent! Congrats to the winners!

That was cool! Very nice job.

Isn't the difference there a matter of hardware vs. software? I agree with you in terms of hardware - Apple pushing new standards helps everyone in the end, even if everyone grumbles along the way. I'm not an iPhone user, but I celebrated the death of the headphone jack. I loved that they used only ...

I had that thought as well, and I'm as not concerned with the hardware side of things - I'm more concerned about operating systems. It's been reported that Windows is organizing their teams to focus more on their businesses that are growing: cloud and subscriptions. Here's that article: http://www.z...

Here's a similar article with some more commentary: https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/3/17191986/apple-intel-cpu-processor-design-competition I guess my main concern about this is the general trend towards mobile. The way this article portrays it, along with recent news about Microsoft seemingly stepp...

You had me at Mars! Picked it up, can't wait to try it out!

Can't wait to listen to all these! There's still time to enter folks - about 9.5 hours by my count. It's crunch time!

Ah you're probably right - I forgot that the device was updated recently. That makes it even more confusing!

I think what he might be seeing is the free price to update for those who own it already

If you haven't bought anything from the shop before, I can see how this might be confusing. It's not free, it's still $39 (on sale) - but now that you've bought it, it doesn't show the price. It'll just show the download button, which is what I'm guessing you're seeing. Don't get me wrong; I think R...

I actually don't 100% have numbers on that - I started with Komplete 8 Ultimate, to 10U, to 11U. Never paid much attention to anything else! :lol: If I recall, though, during their summer sale last year upgrades were 50% off full price. There's actually this RT topic discussing it, which might be a ...

I'd say this is a good deal at this price. In my mind, what you're really getting is Massive (nothing to sneeze at) and an upgrade path to Komplete or Komplete Ultimate. NI do sales maybe once or twice a year where you can get the upgrade for a very reasonable cost, and that's where you get the "goo...

Might be personal preference. For drums I like to work with individual mix channels and also send each drum element in different amounts to a parallel channel. Seems easier to do it on with the internally-routed sends. But yeah I could bus to a drum mix and do a parallel channel. Lots of ways to do ...

I can get pretty close in a complicated production... Most filled up with reverbs. [emoji1] General reverb, general delay, vocal reverb, vocal delay, drum reverb, guitar reverb, maybe a drum parallel comp, and... I'm sure I could get something in that last one. [emoji6] I think the number is good, w...
