Logic X 10.1!!!

I've spent three days with Logic and there is a lot to love. THIS list is pretty amazing. Wow. I do miss being able to swap around tracks in the mixer, though. And I wish parallel channels were as easy in Logic as they are in Reason. Can't have everything, I suppose.  ? You can move mixer channels ...

Exciting news, RE's can now be as heavily optimised as vst and use streaming simd instructions

Some filter designs are unstable with 32-bit precision.  True, if you take code that's using doubles, and just change them to floats, you can break the filter. But it is also possible to make a few other small changes to keep the errors due to the loss of precision from piling up. The thing is main...

How do you integrate Reason and your iPhone?

I can recommend ThumbJam, first of all its great fun to play solos of all kinds of styles and then it has a "hidden" feature where you can literally whistle or sing into the phone and output MIDI to your computer from that.

Mono to Stereo

You can also use an EQ on both left and right channels, with cuts at different frequencies on either side. Another way is to use two phasers or flangers, with different settings for the frequency on either channel. An alternative way is to use two phasers with the same settings, but with different ...

Exciting news, RE's can now be as heavily optimised as vst and use streaming simd instructions

Ok thanks for further clarification.. Interesting and just as I suspected that it was probably improved in tandem with U-HE :) By the way, do SIMD only work for 32 bit instructions in RE, or do you mean even in vst? SSE etc. basically just allow you to do computations with tuples containing 4 value...

Exciting news, RE's can now be as heavily optimised as vst and use streaming simd instructions

SIMD instructions only work with 32bit values and most audio developers use 64bit internally so this will only help for a handful of algorithms (e.g. U-He's offerings). For normal code, the compiler already uses SIMD instructions if the code can be translated to these. I am happy though that the Pro...

dsp solution for reason

You can't just plug in a DSP processor to a computer and make it run the native plugins, that doesn't work with any system. The plugins are programmed and compiled for an Intel CPU and simply won't run on the DSP hardware. ProTools supports AAX plugins which contain the code for both the DSP system ...

dsp solution for reason

The Apollo line of UAD interfaces allow you to use their virtual channels as well as an ADAT or analog loopback to integrate DSP based plugins into Reason via the hardware interface. But really, these don't really give you "moar plugins", in the end most systems (unless you buy a huge ProTools rack ...

Do I really need to rob a bank ?

Please, please don't take this personal (I don't know any of your music) but I think it always makes more sense to invest in composition and arrangement skills first. No matter how "nice" the demos of these instruments sound, they were done by professionals who can get similar results out of way sim...

New to using VSTs in Reason - a few questions.

I always recommend Rewire (just a stereo mix, not individual channels) over this method as it doesn't have latency and audio routing issues and is a supported method. But If you absolutely want/need to use Reason's sequencer with VSTs then here's a tutorial I made a while back with using The EMI to...

Ok I get it now. So you recan I use mono then to spread the vocals to be not too much mono I use audio splitters and stereo images rather or is the some other way to spread or open them wide ?

So u mean even though it shows top or left lane recorded it still recorded on stereo mode? "Stereo" just means "two channels", one for left and one for right. If you put the same content on both channels thats still the same as if you had a mono channel where both speakers in a stereo setup play th...

While on the same issue. When recording vocals on stereo mode only one side is recording which and that is the top one, so what's going on there? One microphone is one channel, when you set your channel to stereo input it will record two channels but only the first of them (the left one on a stereo...

It doesn't matter if it was an unintended side-effect of the original implementation, and I'm beginning to suspect that suggestion is something PH have put out to cover up and justify its being removed.
