Re: RE's currently on sale

Kenni, is there any way we can have sales automatically post in the forum? Would help folks to not miss sales in the future, and save us some time as well (if possible).

Re: Making tracks louder

Thanks again, selig, for that excellent walkthrough of the issue! What you say makes perfect sense of course, and I think I was overcomplicating the issue of "nominal level" and reading too much into it. From reading various previous comments, I had somehow gotten the idea that each nonlinear devic...

Re: Reason Sound Quality

I don't think Reason has any particular sound. It's just that to get a big sound with Reason you have to work way more hard to get it right while in most other daw's you get some big sounds directly out of the box. That's i think a reason too why most people are turning their back to Reason and thi...

Re: Making tracks louder

Sorry to pile on with yet another question for the always-accommodating selig, but: I've noticed you bring up the issue of nominal levels in nonlinear devices a few times, which does seem to be a bit in tension with the idea of level management not being so much "for sonic reasons". So my question ...

IF you are already playing the instrument (meaning it has MID focus), then simply hit record and move it - it will be recorded. :)

Re: Do synths' onboard effects work as send effects?

Hi Loque, I'll upload a file soon, I scrapped the earlier one I was working on. Hey Oster, thanks for the answer. I do not mean to use the effects on the synths as effect units; rather, I'm trying to build a combinator that would act like its own synth (akin to me dreaming of being a dev within rea...

My topic was removed because I don't have time for childish trolling.

Re: Making tracks louder

Well, at 1:02 we see a main mixer peaking at above 0db. The section from 3:24 to 4:01 then talks about bit depth, and I'm not sure whether this invalidates some of what was discussed earlier in this thread. If Reason has this "64 bits" capability that he talks about (around 4:11), then why aim to c...

Re: Exported project as a wave than i reimported to master for the first time ever in reason and wow!!

For mastering, my chain has before and after EQ. EQ before compression on a bus for correction work (usually all cuts) and EQ after compression is for sweetening. Surgical EQ before comp, tone shaping after comp. On physical SSls the default is compressor first but from the G series on, you had a b...

Automatic Zero dB gain ?

Traditionally there's tracking (recording), overdubbing, mixing, and mastering. Out of those choices, I'd say mixing is the best option for what you're doing, even if you're only mixing one track (a solo piano, mixing dialog for video, etc). Not a perfect description, to be sure. Does 0 dB have a va...

Re: Automatic Zero dB gain ?

0 dB is tricky. MP3 compression clips at 0 dBFS. YouTube, Soundcloud, all tricky at 0 db. Use something like -1 db and you'll be safe. In this case we're discussing tracks you import for mixing, not export for mastering or to publish. Since the normalization is done in the floating point world, the...

Re: Compressor knee range question

Does this mean that one should avoid using the soft knee option completely, until the bug is fixed? It's not really a bug, just a non-standard way of implementing a soft knee IMO. If you choose soft knee before you make other settings, you'll never notice any difference, I would think. If you alrea...

Re: Automatic Zero dB gain ?

In the application my query was regarding, it's always only three tracks. No parallel processing. When mixing few tracks you can get away with a higher peak level on each track. Using clip gain allows you to quickly adjust all clips together so that your mix level hits where you want. You may find ...

It just struck me as the kind of situation where even a minor imperfection in the crossfade might really stand out, given that it will be looping, and of course with the crossfade being between two copies of the same sound.

By using that template you can simply normalize all your stems once you have imported them using a keyboard ...

You know what's weird? If you use ReTouch, you can link channels together and control as many faders as you want. So how hard would it be to put a little chain icon on the SSL to do the same? Even if only for temporary adjustments? This should've been in reason record, no later than reason 6. We ca...
