Re: Freebies I like.

What issue are you having? I'm on Reason 10 and Neutrino appears to work fine for me. I also use numerous other iZotope plugins in my productions.

Re: Best video capture software with reason

Does anyone know of a screen capture program on Windows that can use ASIO drivers? This has been my biggest problem with OBS. Love the program otherwise.

Re: Slate VMS and Everything bundle plugins - do they work in versions after Reason 9.5?

Well, based on your Logic mention, I'd assume you're on a Mac? What version of MacOS are you on? Maybe someone with more Mac experience can chime in with this. As for me, I have no issues with my Slate plugins in Reason. Currently on R10, but they worked fine from the onset of R9.5 for me. I'm on a ...

Re: melodyn vs reason pitch correction

Melodyne doesn't work with Reason. It won't show up as a plugin. However the essentials version doesn't provide any benefits over Reason's native pitch correction aside from being able to split notes. They're both monophonic pitch editors. Melodyne Editor on the other hand is more advanced having a...

What MIDI controllers are you all using, and are you happy with them?

Hey everyone! I'm thinking of switching out my MIDI keyboard to one that is more fully-featured. I thought I would ask all you good people what you're using, and how you like it! I'm currently using the Alesis VX49. It's great, but I have two main gripes: despite having 16 pads, only the first eight...

Gotcha, thanks for the info and the link. Good to know, I actually am planning on picking up a ribbon mic shortly so this will be relevant! :) Fair enough.

Fair enough. I'm just thinking since the interface provides phantom power in groups of four, and the preamp only takes up two inputs. So if I needed to run phantom power to a condenser on the other two inputs on that bank, I could run into an issue. Probably an oddly specific situation to worry abou...

Re: Running an external preamp into an interface

I never hook up an external preamp via xlr to a consumer grade interface, or you are going through another mic preamp(BAD)...use a line in via 1/4" in this case!!

Re: iLok dongle dilemma

It may seem like an annoyance, but if it makes you feel any better, it's a lot better than it used to be. I actually am a proponent of iLok. I've used it for years for Pro Tools, and I also have tons of plugins that use it (iZotope, Slate, Softube, among others - not sure which do or don't support v...

Re: Running an external preamp into an interface

Do not use the interface's phantom power. use the phantom power on the preamp. If you're connecting the preamp to the interface with an xlr cable, phantom power may damage your preamp. However, if using a 1/4" cable phantom power should not affect it as the interface will treat it as a line input. ...

Running an external preamp into an interface

Hey everyone, I just picked up a two-channel tube preamp to run into my interface. The preamp is this and the interface is this (2nd gen). Not that it matters, but I'll be replacing the stock tubes with nicer ones as soon as they get to me. I have it all up and running, and it sounds great, but I'm ...

I agree that it takes years of collecting, upgrading, and replacing. Best thing to do is start now with what you have and grow from there.
