I actually love the new website. I'm a web designer for what its worth but this site is much quicker, laid out nicer, and looks much more responsive than the previous version.

Re: Focus mode & drop-down

Yea, things can get pretty gnarly with a ReDrum connected to 10 mix channels w/ some FX patched between ReDrum outs and Mix Channel inputs with other FX patched in the Mix Channel insert, all channels feeding a drum bus, plus a parallel drum bus, plus a parallel connection from the kick to side chai...

Re: Tera Kiss - Don't give up : advices needed about our song.

Great idea, only comment I would have is the rhythmic pad/vocal part going all the way through is way louder than anything else to my ears, like to the point it’s distracting from the lead. It’s like a dish with too much seasoning distracting you from the main ingredient (the vocal). Plus it is (int...

Re: Looks like Reason Studios have redesigned their site...

I'm not so sure - this is the age that allows expensive hobbies and many folks in the age range are spending WAY more than the 20-somethings could ever afford to spend on audio gear. But wait, is the reason they don't chime in because of our collective age or our whine-fest? Or are they the on-in-t...

Re: Focus mode & drop-down

I love the concept, like Spill mode for the rack (spill will hide all mixer channels not feeding the track you click on, so you “spill” the drum bus and only the drum channels are shown on screen - don’t remember why it’s called spill, comes from live mixers IIRC). Basically a way to visually “solo”...

Re: Notes in sequencer clip, sizes...

I think the single note size is the default, and as you add more notes it just shrinks to fit so that no notes are excluded. As to why, I guess it would possibly be that the alternative was somehow worse. That makes sense to me, that you'd want to prioritize seeing all recorded note data when viewin...

Re: How to choose a good Sound Card

Wait, the ONLY thing you changed was the cable? I thought you were ALSO switching from the line outputs to the headphone outputs, which SHOULD be louder (possibly more distorted too for a few reasons). I changed the cable and plugged it into the headphone input of the sound card(from the speakers)....

If you have a split cable try the headphones TRS output on your audio interface, to the Left/Right TS of the JBL. Control the level with the headphones knob. Try that first. I tried that.

Re: How to choose a good Sound Card

I wonder if the issue is that this interface is USB powered, and doesn’t have as much power as other interfaces?
I don’t know if these are the “best” interfaces, but I’ve had good experiences with both the Scarlett and Clarett line of interfaces by Focusrite.

Re: Why are there only two CV inputs and outputs in Complex-1?

Just put it in a Combinator. You'll have CV access to pretty well every parameter. I was thinking the same thing. Preach. I was just thinking there is one big advantage to doing this, which is you get control over stepped controls such as the octave switch on oscillators, which is otherwise impossi...

I love software, I love hardware, I love analog, I love digital. I use each for different things.

Re: How to choose a good Sound Card

I have to wonder if it’s the other way around. The sound card looks fine, it’s the monitors that look more like the weak link here. I make gear decisions based on the weak link, meaning I look at my tools and first make sure I have one of everything I need. If my needs include a mic, an interface, m...

Re: What SPL (decibel) meter to buy?

You don’t need to separately measure SPL to use REW. The test mic, even a cheep one from Behringer is plenty fine in my experience. The test mic will be far more accurate any any phone or hand held SPL meter anyway, so don’t worry about it. I agree any phone app, especially the better ones, will be...

Re: How Reason's coarse knobs & sliders work?

Reason's knobs and faders move in steps, not tiny increments. A quantization function rounds user input to the nearest available step value. Step size depends on the parameter, wordle unlimited user interaction, and doesn't rely on pre-defined tables. Not unless you specify it in the code. As I've ...
