Re: Sanity check my gain-staging approach?

BTW, changing levels "upstream" from dynamics/saturation/distortion devices will change the sound of that effect. Best to use faders since they are the only gain stage that is always "post everything". THIS. I don't understand why gain staging is such a hot topic/source of contention. Maybe because...

Re: Please, somebody write a guitar looper rack extension.

It's much easier with Guitar Rig to export the audio tracks and import into Reason. Plus of course, you get much more flexibility with effects, etc. Glad you found a solution. But this is something you mentioned before and it still makes no sense to me and you said it again so I'm curious. Why woul...

Re: New pc build...some opinions would be awesome

One year ago I built a new computer around an AMD FX-8370, Gigabyte motherboard and 16GB of Corsair DDR3. Total cost was $422. You don't have to spend thousands of dollars on a computer, unless you want to spend that much. Zero issues in Reason 8. I did notice that it is more laggy with multiple ins...

Re: Best black friday 2017 deals?

Best deal is probably the Mix and Mastering Rig IMO. But I bought that during the last Black Friday sale.

But they really need to update the "Rigs". I'm not really interested in the content of the Backline or Synthetic Rig but I definitely could be if they changed em up a bit.

Re: R.I.P. Cakewalk.

Holy shit. Cakewalk was one of the earliest DAWs that I knew of. Seems crazy they'd kill it off.

I remember trying to download Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 on 28.8k AOL dialup from my mom's house in the 90's. Good times. Sort of. Actually, that sucked.

Re: How to disable plug-in indexing at the start of Reason 10

I had a few bugs like this when I first installed v10. I ended up reinstalling Reason. But I also had some buggy VSTs going on. After re-combobulating some things, v10 now starts up much faster. It still initializes the VSTs but it only takes a second or two.

You have to first create the automation lane in track #2 for whatever you used to "tune" it in track #1. Then you can copy and paste the automation to the new automation lane.

Agree with everything you say (except reason is my one and only DAW), but I believe this is a technical limitation of rewire technology. At least according to the livestream.
