So.. things have been quiet. Too quiet.

New update coming out soon? Feels like we're about due for one. Like a massive back-end workflow update with huge MIDI editing advancements. Also a video monitoring track and better audio editing tools. Yes. That's definitely what I'm feeling.

My 2 cents. I just want to say that I will not be upgrading again until the backend/workflow is finally addressed. I have lots of complaints about Reason. I'm not a mindless fanboy. The workflow REALLY needs to be updated. BUT... Reason is still by FAR my favorite DAW and It's not even close. Europa...

I tried Ableton for a couple of days. Still don't know why it has such a large user base.

Ah yes. A used copy of Reason 6 is how I got my foot in the Reason door. All versions prior to audio recording were almost useless to me but 6 was the one for me. I believe 6 is the last version to support XP and I only just gave up my XP usage about a year ago. I got my copy of 6 on ebay. It took a...

And here I thought someone finally posted the same issue I've had since ..forever. I have no idea why but my colors are completely wrong. Not just a shading issue. When the color name is blue, for example, I apply the color and it's actually red. 100% wrong colors vs names, none of them are correct....

Surprised by the total lack of interest here. I use Caustic 3 and it's pretty rad. I'm not one of those people who's always on my phone and kinda hate touch screens, but shit man, I'd take mobile Reason (as long as it was actually functional, like Caustic 3 is) for 20 bucks. Not sure I like phones/t...

As mentioned above ^ it sounds like your preferences setting was changed.

Yep. I'm dumb. My preferences setting was changed. But in my defense that's kind of a dumb setting to have 'on by default' anyway.

Every time I go to record in Reason 10, the source monitor enables itself when I hit record. I don't want to hear my instruments live through the headphones when I'm recording so I have always disabled it. Only way to effectively do this now, so far, is by using the pre-count in order to buy enough ...

I was excited when I first learned about comp edit. But honestly, I'm hoping they completely change/revamp the audio editing workflow in future iterations. Audio comp editing is what I like the least about Reason. The good news is Audition 3.0 is free now. I just hate switching back and forth. Audio...

If you're using Windows 7 or above, you just snap the windows to the left and right. It's how I work on my laptop.

I believe it's high time they get serious about audio editing. Just like they combined Record into Reason to finally create the almost perfect audio recording/production environment (IMO), they need to stop keeping Recycle a separate thing. Update Recycle. Give it standard audio editing capabilities...

...guitarists...see this technology not as a way to simulate/replace a physical thing, but rather as a tool unto itself, capable of expressing their musical visions and useful for creating their own musical voice. :) Completely agree. I've tried using sims as tools to "just sound good to my ears", ...

Have you ever tried https://www.celestionplus.com ? Celestion is also claiming there's no difference between IR and the real thing. I have A/B tested IRs and I can't hear the difference. No I haven't. I just checked and they don't have an IR for the current production Celestion speakers I'm using i...

For me the best sound I can get is with my old Koch tube amp + Palmer Speaker simulator using the unfiltered output and then use IRs. But direct guitar recording is way more flexible so I mostly use that. The difference is mostly a difference in feel I think. Indeed - I still record direct guitars ...

Sir, this comment is off topic. Please stay on topic and avoid engaging in flame wars.

How is mine off topic and yours on topic? Seems you've just outed yourself, so I will have to remind you to stay on topic Sir!

This is your second warning!

So are you - we’re a veritable laugh-fest between us!

Sir, this comment is off topic. Please stay on topic and avoid engaging in flame wars.

Your repeated use of the word perfect is quite curious. You obviously have very high opinions of the emulations and the people who set up the gear to make them for you. I am using the word in the scientific sense - but I already explained that in the very post you quoted so I‘ll just leave it at th...

Looks like he said the exact opposite of what you quoted, according to what you just posted. He said it does NOT sound different, and you implied he said it did. Just asking for clarity in what can become a confused and emotionally heated debated (I guess because our very lives depend so much on to...

That „perfect“ obviously doesn‘t refer to the decision of the mic placement but about the transfer function. If putting a sound through the cab/mic/room combo yields the same result as putting it through the impulse response of that setup then it‘s a perfect reproduction - which it is. Your repeate...

I noticed you put "sound different" in quotes, but Normen never said "sound different", did he?

Additionally, the "sound of a room" does NOT change with volume.

As a recording engineer, have you ever moved a mic around on a speaker cab? If so, then you've noticed the HUGE difference in sound which TINY adjustments make. The mic position is baked into the sound of the emulation. But was it positioned "perfectly" when it was baked in? Maybe you could define ...

If something is not observable at a lower volume and it becomes observable at higher volume does it not "sound different"? You seem to be going at the question from a scientific definition, which is fine, but if something sounds different (reverb level, for example) at different volumes, does it no...

We could argue about whether or not "perfection" has been achieved but I will completely agree about the static combination of source material. The static combination part is exactly where the limitation inherent to emulations becomes obvious to anyone who plays the equipment being emulated. I don‘...

They are less noticeable at lower volumes, but it doesn't change their characteristic.

As I said before, it perfectly captures a static combination of room, mic, mic position and sound source position . We could argue about whether or not "perfection" has been achieved but I will completely agree about the static combination of source material. The static combination part is exactly ...
