Re: (Death Metal) Last Machine (Instrumental)

Really like the changes and tight arrangement. Part of me wants to hear the parts played on wicked distorted guitars - but the synths are cool.

Re: Eventide Instant Flanger/Phaser II: Any opinions?

I don't like their 2016 reverb - and don't know about their other fx. However I really dig the Elevate mastering limiter (more than just a limiter, it's basically an all-in-one mastering tool), but of course, it's developed by Newfangled Audio and Eventide seems to just be the distributor. I just tr...

Re: Reason 11 - Rack Delay Comp Issues, Can Anyone Confirm

From what I'm reading around the web, non-Reason users were initially stoked by the Reason 11 / Rack VST announcement, but now due to the lack of latency reporting and a few other blatant oversights, enthusiasm is rapidly waning, and in some cases, turning ugly. Key complaints are: - Lack of latency...

Re: NEW in the Shop: Virtual Drummer Rack Extensions – Successors of the A-List Drummer Series

When I went to update the three UJAM Virtual Drummers from "My Products" page, only the first one in the list indicated the 2.0.2 update. So I downloaded the update, then refreshed the products page, and now the second Virtual Drummer showed an update. After downloading that one, I refreshed again, ...

Re: Reason Unresponsive when Loading Song

Unfortunately, it didn't remedy the loading problem with my project file. What's even more interesting is that the selective...

Re: Reason Unresponsive when Loading Song

If I save and load a version of the project with all Kontakt instruments disabled (green button in VST conta...

Thanks for the suggestions. Save As didn't help, neither did changing the directory.

Reason Unresponsive when Loading Song

Encountered a strange and annoying issue that I've never seen before with Reason. I was working on a song during the past couple of weeks, and everything was fine during tracking and mixing. Now all of a sudden, when I open the song file, Reason launches and loads the song, but is unresponsive for a...

Music = Art = Self-Expression

Good and Bad are individual judgments based on whatever yardstick someone chooses to apply. Nothing more.

Re: Sonic Reality Refills on sale for $5 each

The Miroslav refills are a good way to get decent orchestral samples on the cheap. They're a bit dated, of course, but they're still viable, especially if you're not interested in going down the Kontakt path. As for the other refills, I bought most of them many many years ago during some crazy mega-...

Re: Is AmpliTube better than Pod Farm

Amplitube used to be one of the better guitar rig sims available, primarily because there was very little competition and it offered a relatively large selection of gear. But amp modelling technology has come a long way since Amplitube 4 was originally released, and there are better choices nowadays...

Re: NEW in the Shop: Virtual Drummer Rack Extensions – Successors of the A-List Drummer Series

3. Are there many drum phrases in the extended bank that offer metal style loops ? I'm talking about fast double bass kick rolls and more extreme metal styles. Most of the products I've used in the past from various sources claim that their offering includes metal styles, but IMO aren't at all. Cas...

It's great to see developers actively engaging with users in a public forum. I've got a few questions: 1.
