Re: Reason 10 & above, 2 BRUTAL "benchmark" songs included

I got a new CPU - Ryzen 5950X and I loaded the old 9.5 benchmark and it played the whole song (with 256 sample buffer setting) and CPU only got to 52% load, no pops or clicks. So I thought.. why not make a new one so when times come to upgrade, we can compare which CPUs are better at Reason? I recom...

Re: Reason 9.5 & above CPU Stress Tests (2017, two different songfiles included)!

I did a Windows restart and I've changed the buffer length to 1024 samples (max for my audio interface) and the results are both amazing and weird for the SIMPLE FX "benchmark". What happens is that between ~2 min 40 seconds and 3 min I think I hear one or two small pops at the end of the loop, BUT ...

Re: How Much Computer Do I Need?

There are some important criteria to select CPU for Reason in this order: 1. Find out what your budget for the whole PC and especially how much are you willing to spend on best CPU for Reason. 2. Only look at CPUs from Intel 9000 and 10000 series and AMD Ryzen 3000 series, the rest of them are too o...

Depending on your budget I would recommend AMD Ryzen 3700X (8 Core) or AMD Ryzen 3900X (12 Core). I had core i5-3570k (4core) , then i7 - 6800k (6 core) performance doubled, now I have Ryzen 3900X (12 core) performance seems to have tripled vs the 6800k.

I'm running 64 samples @44.1 with lots of tracks and effects with no issues on my 3900X. That is amazing! 1700X wasn't capable at going sub 256 samples.

Re: Why aren't PH updating their devices (case for Players)?

I think the PH strategy is to release as many devices as they possibly can with an OK or greater quality & some medium feature set.. no matter if the feature sets greatly overlap, people still buy this model.. we already have 50 compressors, EQs, synths, why not 50 players that greatly overlap in fe...

Grain with the Envelope->Position in the Mod Matrix should do the job. You can try tape or grain mode and adjust settings to taste. No disrespect, but Grain for doing scratches?
