Jesus. Will the mods please lock this thread? Whether @ttrinity777 resurrected it by accident or not, seriously... please lock it.

So you're saying you want someone to create a new Reason Sound thread...?

Banging tune, a true classic! :thumbs_up: So your question was about how to classify types of sounds, I take it? I would say it's pretty subjective, more an art than a science really. The Korg M1 Universe patch is more or less what I'd call a "pad", and if I needed to describe it in more detail than...

Haven't checked this, but off the top of my head: for an instrument combi, would it be possible to get the delay compensation by loading it into the insert slot and simply routing it to the mix channel input, as an instrument, rather than using the to and from jacks? I'm guessing that's not enough t...

I've had fantastic results using Embertone's solo strings (for Kontakt) for expressive leads. They sound great and are very versatile! I've used them in paid work on several projects now, and clients have all been very pleased with the results. I've used them for emotive melody parts, layering with...

Do those unsubscribe links offer the opportunity to vent frothily to an audience and feel all righteous and everything, though?

Agreed with the above, and I'd also point out that "sounds in house music" is way too vague and general. As you can see from my username, I speak with authority on this! ;) Seriously though, there's been so much breadth and variety in house music over the past 35 years that your question is almost i...

SWAM is partly sample-based though, right? I certainly haven't heard any 100% modeled (i.e., zero use of samples) acoustic instruments that sounded remotely convincing to me, whereas SWAM and some others that do use samples can absolutely get to a level of realism that will fool most listeners when ...

Yep, I'd really love to see something like that brought into the new browser. Seriously, I get the appeal of being able to seamlessly browse and load any instrument or effect patch, and I'm certainly not suggesting that that functionality should be removed, but there really are times when it's neces...

Ah, I see. So what did you mean by "compatible" then? ("I can only see/open patches that are compatible with it")

Actually, it's even worse than I thought--put a bunch of .repatch files in a folder and there's STILL no way to restrict Reason's browser to show only the ones for the particular RE that has browse focus! Ugh, what a mess. Would love to know how you got the behavior you're describing, EnochLight.

You'll be pleased to read that the March edition of Computer Music magazine (CM250) has a review of Reason 10. You won't be so pleased once you have read the review and seen the mark out of 10. Grum. I don't have the magazine and the review doesn't seem to be online... what's the mark out of 10 and...

What I DO care about is that Reason's browser is device agnostic, and like it was mentioned earlier - I don't care what device is loaded if I'm looking for an awesome bass patch, or arp, or whatever. And if I'm browsing via a particular device with it in focus, I can only see/open patches that are ...

Seriously, if all of selig's posts in these threads were collated by subject and published, the resulting book would be an instant classic. Hmm, now there's an idea...

Another thing that no one has pointed out is that large sample-based instruments eat up tons of RAM. So if you're mainly making synth-based music, you may get by fine with 8 GB, but if you plan on using lots of high-quality sample libraries (e.g. virtual instruments for Kontakt or anything like that...

Been considering making a cross DAW VST benchmark to compare Reason vs Fl Studio etc in VST performance too, will post if i end up making it!

I'd really love to see this.

Haha, glad I was able to clear up the confusion. Have fun!

If I'm not mistaken, it seems the anecdotal reports also include most users on ASIO audio drivers, which may be something to take into consideration. My worry is that I also use my pre-Haswell-era Windows 10 box as my Plex server as well, and video transcoding is all done on the CPU. :( But if my R...

I also have ReCycle and can confirm that it's still worthwhile if you tend to do a lot of detailed loop manipulation, slicing, etc.

Disappointing maybe, but certainly not strange. Algorithmically analyzing polyphonic audio and teasing out the pitches in it is no easy task! Just ask Celemony, they certainly charge accordingly... ;) (Psst... you do realize that, in this case, it's "mono" as in the opposite of "poly" i.e. one note ...

Well said, normen!

Wait, what?! Ravisoni is on a post-Haswell chip on Windows 10 (Broadwell). If you're on Windows 10 and a Haswell or older , then you most certainly may notice the double-digit performance hit - according to everything I'm reading anyway. Judging by the anecdotal reports earlier in this thread and e...

Good to know it's this widespread, that should mean PH will have no trouble reproducing and fixing it.

For further info: I'm getting this behavior on a Windows 8.1 machine as well, so it looks like Win7 is the only OS that's immune.

I've stumbled upon a catastrophic bug that totally crashes Reason when undoing the creation of a VST rack unit under certain circumstances. This is in the latest version of Reason (10.0.2), on Windows. Steps to reproduce: - Create a VST rack unit. Every single VST seems to be affected (instruments, ...

Glad to see I'm not the only one who can't help misreading "moneykube" as "monkeycube"...

Great, thanks! I figured the things to watch out for would mainly be CPU/mainboard replacements, HDD/SSD, and major OS upgrades or reinstalls.
