Re: R11 Suite - in hindsight

What workstation bread and butter sounds you're looking for? I'm not saying all of the sounds are of the same quality of workstations per se, but stock Reason is pretty much that. A workstation. It shares a lot of the same weaknesses of most workstations (aside from acoustic piano where most modern...

I believe there’s a free band splitter in the shop.
There was one, I use it all the time, but it is no longer available in the shop. There's one non-free available, Yoko Band-Splitter.
Ah ok. That’s a bummer. Stereo imager with spiders it is then.

Re: Channeling elements

If it’s only affecting hihats I’d go the multiband processing route where you can put the phaser on only the high frequencies. You can do that with the stereo imager or I believe there’s a free band splitter in the shop. selig’s method works great as well but you run into some problems if the kick a...

Re: My journey with Reason+

Joey, if I was that person I would prefer to just buy the device for 99 instead of paying 20 bucks x month Or 500 plus 99. In 5 months you’ve paid more than the 99 of the device and got nothing to show for it if you don’t want to pay more. But since that’s not an option and subscribing is not worth...

Re: Using Control Surface Wirelessly - USB / Wifi or MIDI or

You won’t get the same functionality when connected to another midi interface as you do when it’s connected directly. The P1 would just be in internal mode if it works.

Is it really this common to not know what you can afford from month to month? With the current worldwide economic situation, it is rather naive to think that everything around you will stay the same.

Re: My journey with Reason+

It’s like saying the perpetual license cost is moot because they don’t take into account if you actually have the money up front to pay the full license fee. That is a pretty skewed comparison because you actually KNOW if you have the money up front, but you can't know if you can afford the subscri...

Re: Pro Tools vs Reaper

I think him using actual tape is the reason for the added harmonics and and not so much the technique by itself. Doing this digitally would still be digital pitch shifting. But it doesn’t hurt to try I guess.

Re: Pro Tools vs Reaper

I’m not looking for greener grass. I know I can slow down audio in Cubase for instance but it will cleverly keep the pitch constant. I need it to behave like tape and pitch down so when I overdub and speed it up my recording is at a higher pitch at regular speed. My Reaper license is so old It time...

Re: Universal Audio LUNA: Free to all Mac users

The selling point originally was the integration with the Apollo hardware and some of their plugins (the extensions). Not having to adjust buffer sizes ever so it’s a seamless process from start to finish. More akin to a hardware workflow in that vein. For me, as someone who gets frustrated with ev...

I’m simply talking about the business move. But as with any subscription, if you’re someone who wants all of the UAD plugins (it’ll all be included at some point) then it’s a good deal.

Not particularly promising when you can't even get the UA Connect app to talk to iLok. Giving up on that until I get a response from support.
Could be a lot of the new signup. Had zero issues in the past when I bought my Apollo.

They have a subscription service. Their reputation is still large for being the one of the “best” in the industry. Why not gateway that with a free DAW that’s actually good. Besides, Luna was always free. It’s just now free for everybody. So you think the subscription for their premium whatever is ...

Re: Universal Audio LUNA: Free to all Mac users

I imagine they hope this is a "gateway drug" for buying their plug-ins, which are reputedly great. But they are doing more than hope; they are placing a bet. Meanwhile, there are many good plug-ins out there for free. Though most free ones are not anywhere near as plush as those from UAD and Izotop...

Re: ”Shut the fuck up and use the software. It's great.”

For better or worse RS’s design philosophy is making things as simple as possible. Keep in mind Record was marketed as “for musicians not audio engineers .” That’s likely the reason. One pan knob is generally easier than 2. I think Pro Tools might be the only DAW with 2 pan knobs on stereo channels...

Re: ”Shut the fuck up and use the software. It's great.”

The SSL E/G/J only has mono channels so only a single pan knob per channel. You use two channels for ‘stereo’, so two ‘mono’ pan knobs for stereo (which is why Selig Gain has two independent pan knobs!). :) It must have been an interesting user interface design challenge for RS, then. Stereo device...
