Rx2 loops issues in Reason 8!

I found out that in R8.1 Rx2 loops sound way better in Dr REX than as audio track. And in Rewire mode audio tracks with rx2 loops sound super bad. I have it rewired to Live and in Live it sounds great but in the audio lane of Reason it lacks the tightness and it has all sorts of comb filtering issu...

Polarity Inversion Overdrive

let's do this test. download  this testfile   2 pulverisers with the same settings, one has an inverted input. with a silence in between switching between both channels. do you hear the difference? I hear it. one sounds lower! I  am now working on headphones. both channels will cancel so they should...

Polarity Inversion Overdrive

don't know how to quote on this forum. I do it like this; IF they ARE the same, as you say above, then why do you hear a difference? Could be your speakers aren't symmetrical? Is what you describe above not different from what you first described? In your original audio example, you have taken the ...

Polarity Inversion Overdrive

That effect is so difficult to setup because the distorted signal is dynamically compressed as well as having additional harmonics. I've tried to "remove" the original signal from a distorted signal many times (didn't know Tchad did this), and that's the big rub - there's no single level where you'...

Polarity Inversion Overdrive

1- If two files completely cancel out when polarity inverted and summed, we can assume they are the exactly the same, agreed? Yes 2- If you add your two audio examples together, the original and the polarity inverted, they will cancel 100%, right? yes 3- If so, how then  can  they be different in a...

Polarity Inversion Overdrive

:s0403: There's a difference in sound which can also be detected with the spectrum analyser in Reason. For example the low end is different.  I must say that with a live guitar the sound to me sounds different. I found out about it that way. Then I did my own blind tests and I could prove it. I als...

Polarity Inversion Overdrive

All distortion devices in Reason are asymmetrical. This means that both sides of the signal (+ and -), are not treated equally.  I discovered this by experimenting and listening. It also means that you can get a different sound out of these saturation devices in Reason simply by inverting the polari...
