Re: Creating the Underworld Rez sound guide

The Rez sound is a great sound for sure!! I own the Arturia emulation but have not tried the Cherry Audio version. Interesting your experience. I like the variety in the Arturia collection, but TBH never really drawn in and inspired by the Arturia emulations. I'm not sure why. They have great UIs bu...

Windows PC hardware upgrade

Hi everyone I'm looking to replace the internals of my old i7-2600k based PC. Planning to move to 12th or 13th gen i7, with 32GB RAM. Very keen for any advice for PC builders here who may have thoughts on motherboards, or other ideas so I really get the best audio workstation experience. I'll also b...

Re: Sonible Studios Bundle

Thanks for all the great info. I'll see if I end up going Sonible, as I was able to get Ozone 11 Advanced AUs and VST3s working in all hosts, including Reason 12. But it's only a trial, so I asked iZotope for either a discount or a refund if it fails after an update – just like v10 has failed. I'm ...

Re: Sonible Studios Bundle

I've been using Sonible for 2 years. Moved from Ozone 8, when izotope were ramping up their subscription pricing... I really like the smart:EQ3, smart:comp2 and smart:limit. the smart:reverb came in the bundle but I never use it. The AI modelling is great. I think it not only creates a good starter,...

Re: (synthwave) Shadow Of A Doubt

What is synthwave, and what time period was it? Who are some bands in this genre? I finally listened to this and it sounds great! It reminds me of maybe Duran-Duran or something like that, especially the vocals. I am not terribly knowledgeable about 80's pop- rock music, as I was far more into the ...

(synthwave) Shadow Of A Doubt

Hi everyone, As usual this song isn't pure Reason, it is hardware synths, processed with a lot of Reason Rack Plug-ins, using Reaper as DAW. There are a couple of rack extension synths used though, Polysix RE and Viking 2. Very busy arrangement, mostly for layering to get a big sound - over 100 trac...

Re: R.I.P Moog

I wonder if the people that look down their nose at Behringer customers (use) Uber or a non-IBM branded PC? Many totally do. To be fair, though, part of the point of Moog is that (most of) its (flagship) products are analog, and it's possible to do a lot of superstitious romantic cork-sniffing abou...

Re: Reveal Sound Spire (ReSpire) update 1.0.6 is out

Nice to see this thread again.

When using Reason as a plug-in with Reaper DAW, it's great for being able to use DSP-intensive synths like this one (and Viking 2), can run many instances of them in RRP inside Reaper without issue.

Cool topic and I enjoyed reading the replies so far! 1) Hobbyist.

Re: Aly James VSDSX v.2.3 is out.

Easy upgrade. For some reason it has lost the patch settings when I load songs used with the 2.0 version but it's pretty easy to fix that of course.

The UI on the update is way better than the old version!

Also found them great from a community perspective, learning the talents and styles of other folks ...

…My highest productivity now… Some great points, and I especially like your phrase “my highest productivity now” because I feel that’s what all of us really want. Maybe your highest productivity comes from pencil and paper, maybe it comes from a room full of synths, or software (or a hybrid setup)....
