Re: Shock Mount vs Me

I’ve been around those my entire life and still can’t string one up without looking at instructions. The first mic I ever had with a mount like that is the NT1. I got that in like 2009 so like 15 years ago. I have no excuse. Last night I was using the TF11. I really like the sound of that mic. For ...

Re: P455 MDN Sidecar

Seems pretty limited, I don’t see a way to swap the order of EQ and Compression, for example. I already have excellent API EQ and 1176 compressors and plenty of amazing tape and saturation simulation. Plus I used the hardware versions for many years so I may be more biased to the original tools/appr...

Re: Reason Tutorials: "One Neat Trick" [Preview]

Some hopefully constructive feedback from me: I think your tutorial gives good inspiration on how one can utilise CV and the combinator to get a nice generative sequence going. It's very valuable info for someone who is new to Reason and has not yet taken a deeper dive into the possibilities of it....

Re: Signal Flow Diagram

Was going to suggest PoohBears chart as well. I see two quick things to add/correct. One is the pre fader send which should be "post pan" as in Pooh's chart. Also note the Direct Outs (not in Pooh's chart) as switching jacks, which should mute the main path when connected. The rest looks right to me...

Re: Hardware Production Question

Just checked, and indeed OctaMed had MIDI support, but I don't know if that went any further than sequencing notes (I never had an Amiga). Around that time (I think) I was running Cubase on an Atari, which was much more capable than Octamed. Octamed was primarily a tracker, while Cubase was a full-...

Re: Vocal-Shaper VST does Dynamic Cleaning

As often as not, I don't want to boost the fundamental of the vocal, unless I'm going for an intimate, moody close-miked sound. Generally (though not always) the fundamental is the strongest harmonic in a timbre, and it doesn't need any help. I agree with vocals, am cutting lows more often than boo...

Re: Hardware Production Question

That depends on if you have a sequencer running for the track (hardware or software) and if the synthesizer in question can be controlled by that sequencer (with either MIDI or CV). Ahh good point. So say back in 1990, could the filter cut off be controlled in say Octamed on an Amiga computer? Sure...

I didn’t find that feature, but when I read stuff like this I think about all the amazing vocal mixes over the past 75+ years that never needed this feature. That said, I’ve explored stuff like this using pitch to MIDI and ColoringEQ to follow the pitch. It may be handy in some cases but seems almos...

The best kind of noise removal is usually done via an offline process where the tool can analyse the whole file to generate a (dynamic) noise profile. This cannot be done just as good in a live process (like in an RE).
Came here to say the same, you can have it quick or high quality, pick one!

As a songwriter you do this all the time, unless you’re a great singer yourself. I was in Nashville so we had many options, but now with the internet you have even more. There are things to look out for, to be sure, but it’s not much different from taking a chance on a new voice. And if you DO happe...

Re: Things I never noticed in Reason, or are new…

Yeah this is how I work. There is a bug though, if Reason isn't open and you select to open multiple audio files with Reason, it will duplicate the first audio file that many times. For example, if I select and open "file 1" through "file 4" Reason will open with four tracks of file 1. And this get...

I wanted to import the mix into the song file so I could quickly compare and see where I was "off". So in the email, I selected the mp3 and did a quick 'right click'. Up came an "open with" dialog...

Re: Reason Studios 13 or 14 (Future Talk)

when you name tracks in the mixer they should rename in the timeline too The “problem” with this suggestion is that there are no “tracks” in the mixer. There are “channels” in the mixer, which won’t show up in the sequencer unless you automate something on them, which then creates a track (for the ...

Manually as in soloing each track and rendering the master [track count] times? If that is the case I have a question. May be a noob question. If you render one track at a time like this and the master has absolutely no effects activated on it, then the whole process will be completely transparent/...
