High-passing every track because you think you need to high-pass every track is stupid. Use your ears :puf_wink: Agree with the first part of that But when it comes to "use your ears", isn't the issue that a track might have some low-end content that you *can't* hear when you solo the track? But th...

You better low-pass at 2KHz at the same time, just to be on the safe side :puf_bigsmile: I tried that but then all the sound was gone and I thought hmmm this can't be right. I had that problem too but then I bought some expensive mastering plugins. So far they haven't fixed it, I probably need to b...

"Say goodbye to writer's block"

Yes, there's no better fix for creative stasis than buying your seventeen millionth FX plugin

My first thought is something super versatile like U-he Zebra, but on reflection I probably wouldn't go for a VST synth. I don't love the way Reason handles VST, and I'd get pretty sick of opening & closing the plugin window for a whole year So, probably Europa. Or maybe Amalgam - not really a does-...

Great news - and upgrade discounts for Trash2 owners

Now, let's talk about Iris...

You can keep your Sigmund 1 and 2. I just installed version 2 in another folder, and they are running independently. It's a pain to loose vst's in old projects. I lost the use of Sigmund 1 when I upgraded to a new Mac with the M1 processor, it's not compatible and never will be I can open a session...

Yes I know it's yet another delay plugin, but it's deep and creative and comprehensively awesome https://d16.pl/sigmund This video doesn't really do it justice but you get the idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gya1C94WOA This is the update from the original Sigmund - unfortunately not backwards ...

I like VK-2 but it's been a hell of a learning curve, and even now I find it weirdly counterintuitive to program. But it's worth the effort, especially when venturing into the realm of experimental sounds, noise etc. The Legend really doesn't go there half as well But when it comes to more conventio...

Droooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnne https://briangrainger.bandcamp.com/album/maine-sander Just been blissing out to this at max volume while oiling the railings on the deck Brian Grainger was absolutely killing it in the early 00s, along with his partner in crime David Tagg. This release was origin...

Sometimes (following the advice of someone on this forum a while back, can't remember who it was) I just put the names of a bunch of instruments into an online random picker and select three or four. Then I do the same with a larger number of FX and select maybe four or five. Then that's what I've ...

I love software, I love hardware, I love analog, I love digital. I use each for different things. I really do not understand the idea of drawing a line and only choosing from only one side of the line. Same. People just have this mania for drawing stupid binaries and then entrenching themselves on ...

I'm getting a nice little collection of Softube VSTs that have cost me either nothing or next to nothing: What's your impression of their transient shaper? -compared to others? I like it a lot - the dual band processing is genuinely useful, and it's fast to work with. You can spend ages fiddling wi...

I'm tempted, but probably won't pick it up. The exchange rate makes $29.99 more like $46.00 in AUD, which is still cheap but not *that* cheap for something that I don't really need

I'll basically buy any old shit for USD $20.00 or below, but the $30.00 mark is where I start getting picky

Excellent! Crisp and punchy

I'm getting a nice little collection of Softube VSTs that have cost me either nothing or next to nothing:

Dirty Tape
Saturation Knob
Summit Audio Grand Channel
Tape
Tape Echoes
Transient Shaper
VCA Compressor
Model 82 synth

Many of you will have this already but for those who don't, it's a very nice Swiss army knife type plugin and 85% off at this price (twelve days to go) https://audioplugin.deals/product/mixbox-by-ik-multimedia/ https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/mixbox/images/1.2.0/mixbox_dry_wet_standalone.1.2.0...

Intro price $15 until March 31! Another nice one from Murph Valley Amalgam is a stereo, multi-mode signal multiplier, combiner, masher. It is beyond your typical ‘Ring Mod’ multiplier, exploring the different methods of amalgamating two signals. https://www.reasonstudios.com/shop/rack-extension/vall...

Yep Filter Chain is excellent, like all Ekssperimental Sounds REs. Best RE developer since Lectric Panda imo

finally got around to reading Sadist's product page properly and understanding its crazy interface Sadist is so good. A bit pricey perhaps but worth picking up at the next sale This one is a real gem too - took me a while to get to love it, because it seems to have very narrow sweet spots that vary...

Cue 17 pages of wild speculation, conspiracy theories and dark predictions of the imminent Death of Reason

Are there any hiss or noise reduction tools in reason? Workaround for now is to export into Audacity and use their noise reduction tool. There must be something in the reason ecosystem though right? Nothing as far as I'm aware. There are REs you could use to lower the noise floor, but nothing that ...

In my opinion, the strongest point remains its ability to print non-real-time scales, chord progressions, arpeggios, and whatever else into a sequencer using the 'send to track' button, which is not possible from the plugin version. So with the plugin version of Reason, is it completely impossible ...

Any good? Softube's blurb talks about "classic 90s techno" sounds which doesn't interest me much, but I guess it's probably got other tricks up its sleeve

Hey guys, put it in a combinator and stfu

Oops... I just saw this thread was about tape delays and Chow Tape (above) isn't a delay. Still a great plugin though

Do you know Tape Sculptor?

Hadn't seen it until now - thanks for the tip, will check it out
