Re: How: Selig Gain on every track

Unfortunately, it controls the input gain of a channel, so if the channel contains a non-linear effect (e.g. compressor), it is not a substitute of the channel fader. In that case yes indeed, which is why I will arrange things Thor>Compressor>SSL Mixer. That way my desired signal is not changed by ...

Re: How: Selig Gain on every track

Don't forget that there is a Gain knob up the top of the SSL. This does exactly what you are looking for. I will set a Mix up with all the Faders at 0db using the Gains then if I need Automation during the actual mix, my Faders are free to fly. It doesn't look very mixery with all the sliders at un...

Hold shift when dragging a rack device to automatically re-route it to where you're dragging it, so you don't have to spend time plugging and unplugging the audio cables manually. This one ought to be loudly announced somewhere in the GUI because I keep encountering people who've used this program ...

Re: How: Selig Gain on every track

I find myself loading Selig gain on nearly every instrument I load, to dial-in the right levels. I like doing that instead of pushing the faders up, so that everything is pretty much level - and then I use the mixer's faders for minor tweaks in the mixing phase. So...

Since I'm zooming in and out all the time, this makes a massive difference.
I just use "Z" to zoom to selection, then again to zoom to all. Changed my life, seriously.

Re: Future purchase: RE or VST equivalent.

I feel kinda bad, because I was one of the people criticizing the RE environment. I wouldn't worry about "losing access" to the servers and so on, that's not very likely in the next few years at least. I don't think Reason will just suddenly explode and disappear. Instead, think about what you need...

Re: What features are REALLY necessary for Reason 11

There are a bunch of things I’d like (like folder organization, track freeze)

About the only thing that kills me in the sequencer is the inability to quantize note-ends to the grid. Ie highlite a whole section of notes and quantize all their end times to grid in one go.

Overall, reason is a dream

Re: Why did Steam succeed for centralizing game purchasing, but no equivalent for VSTs?

Yes, that’s what I wonder too. If the companies are letting plug-in boutique sell centrally, why the big resistance to a good user experience of central installer? Maybe there are technical hurdles to overcome. This is just a guess here, but perhaps it would require VST to be coded with the install...

What about Plugin Boutique, though? Aside from some of the hugest ones, like NI and Waves, it has about as wide a selection of manufacturers I've seen. Precisely - we may as well ask 'why hasn't Plugin Boutique centralized game purchases'? Yes, that’s what I wonder too. If the companies are letting...

Why did Steam succeed for centralizing game purchasing, but no equivalent for VSTs?

I can't tell why we don't have a VST Store similar to Steam. Props did a pretty good job with RE store, so you could say that's about as close as we've come in having a centralized store that spans multiple sellers, and fully automates installs. But for VSTs, most of the manufacturers have their own...

Re: Dry/Wet Knob RE ?

Your best bet is a parallel mix bus, this should use any plugin's delay compensation information. Many FX will introduce a few samples of delay or some phase shifting / inversion. If you straight mix the pre-RE signal with an post-RE signal, you are likely to have some wacky phase cancellation / co...
