Re: Izotope Neutron 4 just released with No VST2 support...

I'm in the same boat. I know to check with plugins from new developers (e.g. Toolroom Academy's new Infinite plugin) about VST2/VST3, but this is the first time for me an upgrade becomes VST3 only. This will soon become an issue. P.S. Izotope's website seems to have changed to saying Neutron is supp...

Added devices sometimes only get Left channel routed

Not infrequently, I'll have some issue with the stereo imaging of a track and then notice that some effect I added only has a mono connection (i.e. no cable in right channel on back). I'll have just dragged these devices in normally, so I can't figure out why it happens. It seems to happen with vst ...

Ability to turn off snap only whilst key is held down

I did a quick search and couldn't find anything on this. Using better touch tool on Mac (probably there are Windows equivalents), you can trigger a shortcut when you press a button down, but also trigger a shortcut when the key goes up again. This allows you to turn snap off whilst you press and hol...

This dialogue box should be keyboard selectable

When organising presets, it's a pain that this dialogue box can only be controlled with the mouse. When working with favourites lists, having to constantly mouse over to the middle of the screen to change from cancel to remove makes the process less fun that it could be. It might also be useful if t...

Gotta love Reason's back compat.

I was just listening to a track I made in 2006 (or possibly earlier). I thought I'd search for the original rns file, and when I found it the project opened up immediately. No missing plugins, no missing anything - it sounded the same as it did over 15 years ago. It didn't even have Thor back then -...

Re: Previewing rex files - have they always snapped to song tempo and grid?

Thanks deeplink. I'd missed it, and just carried on using my old workflow.

Previewing rex files - have they always snapped to song tempo and grid?

I've just been browsing some rex drum loops with auto play enabled. I noticed that they were snapping to time and to beat even in the preview pane. They also loop endlessly even whilst in preview mode. This is excellent. I could have sworn that it didn't do this before! I thought rex files acted the...

Rack Extensions - ability to hide

There are some Rack Extensions that I don't use at the moment, and some that I don't think I'll ever use again. I can delete them, but every time I update REs from the RE website, it downloads them again. I'd like the ability to 'hide' some purchases so that they don't automatically download every t...

My gosh: the new combinator!

I will always love Reason. The new combinator is a great addition but oh boy: configuring the front panel can be a real time sink. It doesn't force you to waste time, it's just there if you want it. In terms of actually making any music this afternoon, probably the only thing worse than fiddling aro...

Re: Players - send midi to combinator track

Most odd. For me, you can see it running through the process you describe: the instrument track gets created and the midi gets laid down. But once it's finished, both disappear!!

Players - send midi to combinator track

Try saving a combinator with a player and a synth. Save the combinator. Next time you load the combinator, Reason creates a track for it (but not for the synth it contains). After creating midi in the player, click send to track. It doesn't work: you have to manually create a track for the synth fir...

Re: Umpf - does it sound worse than redrum in default?

Yes, that's got to be right: there's no reason why samplers should all sound the same and indeed it could be useful if they didn't. Still: it seems odd that the Club version, surely aimed at a modern sound, dulls the transient whereas the Retro version sounds sharper, with a more precise transient....

Combinator - it should be easier to map VST parameters

In Combinator 2, it's easy to assign parameters to Reason devices and REs - just right click and map. I wish there was a similar way to do this for VSTs. The capability is kind of nearly there because the CV programmer has a learn function where you press 'learn' and click the button. Something simi...

Re: Umpf - does it sound worse than redrum in default?

What prompted us to suppose different "devices" playing the same sample should null, anyway? I mean, it's all software and so it's theoretically possible for them to null. But does that mean they should? Wouldn't different models of hardware device have their own character? I totally agree and it's...
