trial and error is inefficient, as I think someone mentioned, but it's also the backbone of the creative process. not knowing what sound will come out because you're 'randomly' adding notes in a sequencer can be a fantastic way to find creative little things that inspire you to go in unexpected dire...

nice work! (as always.) I normally don't envision anything when listening to music, but really got the sense of relaxing on an alien planet with a pink sky, where a slight breeze brushed past through light foliage on the beach--with an occasional cloud briefly casting over the sun. I know, very, odd...

😂 omg no. if multiple people come to different understandings of a simple statement made in an interview, then the statement is ambiguous. that’s the literal definition of the word ambiguous. But this absolute car crash of a thread isn't just people "coming to different understandings". It's a few ...

The CEO's comments are ambiguous. Other opinions are available. They're not really ambiguous. Most people are just not familiar with high level strategy. 😂 omg no. if multiple people come to different understandings of a simple statement made in an interview, then the statement is ambiguous. that’s...

wow, there's some really cool stuff in here! it's got a very unexpected mood which I really enjoy. my only suggestion would be to strip it back a little bit and focus on one or two primary melodic/harmonic instruments at a time--it sounds like there's so much interesting stuff going on that it's dif...

Some of the mods on this forum really need to think about stepping down imho. You're not wrong. It's a thankless job that we all do for free, and continually dealing with spambots, trolls, passive aggressiveness, and grown people who behave like children can get tiring. other than the thankless job...

good lord dude, you’re still trying to tell other people what they actually meant?

No, not really. I'd say 80% of my music making time is spent in Bitwig. It just helps me achieve what I want faster in the limited time that I have :( Fair point, I guess that just means you’re not the target market for Reason then! I feel the same way about mixing in LUNA vs Reason, so I can relat...

From this list I'd find only "markers" a low hanging fruit, provided you DON'T expect them to work like arranger track , but simply as a marker track . Added - thanks! :thumbup: Note that markers in this definition are “Locators”, and would likely need more than just a slot on the timeline. You als...

I don't think most of what I'd listed should be particularly difficult to implement, and I'm not sure why we're talking about arranging or other track types...I just want markers. just a little flag in the timeline that I can refer to. but anyway, everything I listed is sorely lacking, imo. and agre...

not sure if it's the same thing as the lifetime use with their app, but I use the app all the time. I used to spend hours mastering each song and wondering what I was screwing up in the process, but I realized at the end of the day, as long as it sounds good, I'm happy--and CloudBounce gets me to go...

track folders, auto-punch, markers, customizable keyboard shortcuts, track/project notes, lyrics editor, colored mixer channels, show/hide tracks/channels, VST MIDI out (okay, not 'low hanging', but c'mon)...

the takeaway is that RS' messaging could still use some work. shouldn't need to have folks pop on to correct the record for the CEO. they're a big-boy company now. drinking age, and all that...they should've figured out how to communicate with a modicum of precision and discipline by now. that said,...

I can see how comparing Reason to Netflix sends a pretty off-the-mark message. it could be interpreted in a few ways already mentioned here--the subscription, and positioning as an unserious product meant for some lighthearted fun. I don't think that's what he was trying to actually get across, but ...

I wish more people would take that attitude when learning an instrument, honestly. learning songs that already exist is great to get familiar with specific techniques, but can put your approach in a particular frame, which isn’t necessarily great. if you want to use guitar as a compositional tool, ...

Great mood, love the unexpected time signature changes as they don’t come across as being “clever” or trying too hard. Plus I’m a sucker for good/cute dog photo! ;) I’m always amazed by the healing/processing power of music. ❤️ thanks Selig--much appreciated! I've done the 3/4 feeling triplet secti...

this one was really tough for me, in a lot of ways, but the process helped with what I needed, and I’m glad with how it turned out. hopefully some of you enjoy.

that was kind of my thought too. the way you can sort of use it to create a grid easily looked like it could be cool, although I don't really have a good appreciation for what it's actually doing...but ultimately, if you don't want to align to a grid, well, you can already do that in every DAW just ...

This was a good read and oddly familiar. My dad bought one of those guitars with a built in speaker and a little Fender amp. It was always off limits but I was drawn to guitar very young and always found time to sneak a few string slaps because my toy guitar wasn't cutting it. I got caught enough t...

small budgets can be great. I remember when I first was daydreaming of getting a guitar...I had ZERO idea what made an instrument good. I was 'window shopping' from a JC Penney or Sears catalog or something--back when they used to send you these enormous phone-book-thick print catalogs. yes, they di...

I wouldn't worry too much about which plugins to get at this stage--the important part now is to familiarize yourself with the instrument and get some notes under those soon-to-be-callused fingers. you can get good results with just about any amp sim these days. even the stock Amp plugin in Reason i...

tbh, the entire concept of ducking one part based on another part (let alone that other part being the kick drum, of all things) is baffling to me, more often than not. I get it's a stylistic thing, but damn, if the sound of your kick drum is the most interesting part of your song, you've got way bi...

nice work! finally got to hear a bit of MrFigg's guitar work (which is very tasty, I must say), and in a nice, chill tune, to boot. love the bassline/tone--reminds me a bit of something Fischerspooner might've done. you'll have to forgive the reference, as I don't have a lot else to pull from that ...

there's a difference between something being used for a grift, and something actually being a grift itself. I think the NFT grift thing is a special case--I still maintain it's a tool that isn't inherently a grift in and of itself, but the way it's been implemented essentially makes it one systemica...
