Re: Ableton Live 12

Okay just watched the MIDI tools video and I'm sold. Pre-ordered. Wouldn't normally do that for a DAW (or for anything in fact) but this looks like another case for just using RRP in Live without feeling like I'm missing out on lots of Player functionality.

Re: Ableton Live 12

This looks fantastic. Really excited for the browser and the MIDI transformations look dope. Just when I was thinking I should try and make Cubase 13 my home. Maybe it can be my holiday home lol

Re: Cubase 13 and Studio One 6.5

I’m gonna have a crack at making this my main DAW. I’ve always thought the MIDI editor was great. I’m glad they’ve revamped the mixer aesthetic because I haven’t liked it for several versions now. I know the workflow is perhaps a bit ‘conventional’ but ya know, I just wanna record some audio, and ed...

Arturia Analog Lab + Keylab 61 + Reason

Hey all! Has anyone had any luck controlling Analog Lab from within Reason, while Reason is configured as the master/controller keyboard? The transport/daw controls seem to take precedent over the plugin, even if I switch the preset on the keyboard to Analog Lab instead of DAW. Is it not possible?

Re: MusicTech: Niklas Agevik talks Reason 13

I mean there's certainly a reason that I go to Reason when I could just as easily open up Live or Cubase. It *is* more inviting, to me. It's more fun. It feels like something I've earned after a long day; it doesn't feel like more work. Of course I think they could still take some inspiration from o...

Yeah always best to go back to basics and go through process of elimination in these cases. What kind of mic is it? Does it require phantom power?

Re: Neptune - Can't Get Vocal Audio Out

Do you hear audio if you monitor through an audio track with no effects on it? Likewise, can you record dry signal from a mic/instrument and see the waveform in the clip without Neptune or any other insert active?

If you can do that, Neptune *will* work. If not then something else is up.

Re: Pitch shifting (needing advice)

What you're talking about is pitch envelopes for audio, and Reason can't do this. I very much wish it could! I think you could maybe put Neptune on it and just automate pitch on that (making sure to disable key tracking and scale correction). You could also drag the sample into Mimic and then make s...

Hey! So this was actually started in Live, just on my bed with my laptop.

Re: sound design vs preset tweakers

More presets than tweaking these days. My time to write is limited, and deadlines are often tight. Time spent making a sound from scratch is time NOT spent writing music (with the exception being sound design cues). One thing that I need to get into the habit of doing is using my down-time, or more ...

Re: Left right arrows not triggering notes in piano roll?

Yeah this has been a FR of mine for ages. Notes should preview when selecting and also nudging up and down with arrows. Currently they don’t and it makes keyboard editing almost useless for me. Here’s hoping!

Re: Reason Studios 13 or 14 (Future Talk)

I'm always ping-pong'ing between Reason and Live, as Live has many things I'm waiting for. But they're not even that big, IMO. If Reason had the following; - Folder tracks - The ability to hear notes in the editor when nudging with arrows - Step input integrated into the sequencer - Re-pitch time st...

Re: "Pump" is back in the shop

I wonder if there's any hope of the 'bug' being fixed where the envelope runs continuously when the transport is stopped and the mode is set to note or gate trigger? It's not a huge thing but...it'd be nice haha. I'd pay for it lol

Re: Reason Studios: Windows 11 Compatibility Statement

What is the general consensus on Win 11 for general music production now? Every now and then when I turn on it presents me with a screen asking me to update. I *assume* it's somewhat safer than a Mac OS update. But I don't wanna bork anything.

I had a sub for aaages, pretty much since it started.

So I started replacing them with licenses over time. By the time ...

Re: Are you taking advantage of blocks?

Love Blocks, although they can be frustrating. A great use case for them was when, for reasons definitely not related to poor time management and procrastination, I found myself with about 2.5 weeks to crank out 22 tracks. I basically populated the arranger with blocks to map out how I wanted the so...

Have you pressed the input config button in the audio settings to make sure the inputs are enabled/ticked? And are its inputs showing up as available options for audio track inputs in the sequencer? That’s the only thing I can think right now.

I experience this with Massive X and Super 8. They also take a long time to load in Cubase 12 Pro so I guess it's something about their interfaces. Couldn't tell you what though!
