Haute Technique MIDI Shortcut

I've just discovered this. Much like BOME MIDI translator it allows you to map MIDI buttons to key commands although I prefer this interface and it is very simple to use. I can now bring up the Rack and Mixer views from my MIDI controller!

Re: Pitch Bend issue

I've experienced this recently and it turned out that the controller was sending weird pitch bend messages. I checked with a tool called MIDI Monitor for Mac so I could see what is happening:

Re: "Low-hanging-fruit" feature requests compilation

A lot of my frustrations are Remote related. Here are a couple of things that would be easy to add (I think): Remoteables for Alt-click Parameter Reset: This would allow you to map a button to reset a parameter to its default (eg. Pan to Centre, Fader to zero etc.) Remoteable for Show/Hide Spectrum ...

Reason isn't in competition with Ableton, it is competition with arguing about Reason on ReasonTalk.

Re: MusicTech: Niklas Agevik talks Reason

I read the entire thread and as an interview, the real meaning of it all is rather vague and unclear. As a registered user of Reason since version 2, I think the actual direction of the company is becoming less and less clear. But I know that the latest updates will make any perpetual license easil...

Re: MusicTech: Niklas Agevik talks Reason

I have to agree with antic604 here. Netflix is a passive thing, where I'm not actively doing or making things, and I do that to relax. Music making requires focus and effort for the most part – it is an active pursuit. When I decide to make a song I'll decide to work in either Ableton or Reason. So ...

Re: MusicTech: Niklas Agevik talks Reason

Reason is competing with other DAWs from a financial point of view. If you have to watch what you're spending your money on then you'll probably try to cut down on duplication, so while Netflix might stay you might have to drop one of the two Draws you have a licence for that more or less do the sam...

This article has given me an idea. I'm thinking of cancelling Netflix and replacing it with a Reason+ subscription. I just need to run it past my girlfriend and everyone else in the house but I think they'll be fine with it. I mean everyone love music right?

I understand that it's now regarded as the beginnings of hardcore but there's no way you can blame happy hardcore and everything that came after than on Acardiplane.

Re: Oldskool raves

Anyway great music and atmosphere and Fierce Ruling Diva was there playing live. The music started to get a bit silly IMO in 92 and by the time 93 rolled around the scene was over and it split into the (IMO) cheesy happy hardcore and the more musically interesting (IMO) jungle. For me 90, 91 and 92...

It depends on your definition of clip launching, but LaunchEon can certainly cover a lot of bases. If you have any specific workflows in mind, post them and I'll give you a yes or no as to whether it can be done. Okay I'll bite.

That's impressive. I never use the radial menu – I think I need to take another look at this.

Re: Bouncing Send FX + mixer channels sounds different from baked-in Send exported channels

Here is a demonstration about how a wave's visual appearance can be different depending on the phase. Unless you are importing a WAV file to an Audio Track and re-exporting you are unlikely to get a waveform that looks identical to the original and even then there may be differences. https://youtu.b...

This is great. If we flood Spotify with AI generated shite then we might be able to kill of streaming altogether. I think I'll setup a Boomy render farm to spam Spotify whilst selling my music on Bandcamp.

Re: RUN buttons in the Mixer or Sequencer

You could Keyboard Map the Run buttons to keys 1-9 on your keyboard. That way with a single key press you can start or stop the Players while in Mixer view. You won't actually have a visible button but apart from that it will work the same.
