Re: Reason Studios Black Friday Week 2022

Nothing really stood to push me to make any purchases during this sale. I was tempted by Tribute and Noxious but I've been on a mission to avoid getting shopped by sales for things I really don't need or probably wouldn't use.

Re: [bigbeat/breakbeat] The Prodigy - Break & Enter (Ed Curry Remix)

I'm not familiar with Prodigy at all even though I've seen the name pop up quite a bit. Having no point of reference to the original, I like your arrangement. There's enough going on with decent variation to keep interest all the way through. The warm and raw mix works well, too. Nice work!

Re: (Ambient/Acoustic) Seasons

This is a beautiful piece of music. Very nice. Glad you liked it! Beautiful music! Great guitar tone and awesome playing. Congrats! Thanks!

Re: (Electronica/acustic) Sax Joy

I like the percussion hits that are added throughout the song. It adds a nice element that ties everything together well. I found the sax at the very end to be a little too spazzy from 3:10 onward. Everything prior was really smooth. Maybe the sax joy was too much to contain?

(Ambient/Acoustic) Seasons

I haven't written anything new on acoustic guitar in a long time. Now seemed like a better time than ever to dust it off and come up with something on the ol' fiddle. I had no intention of writing anything with the usual ABA type of structure and instead wanted to work on something that evolved, hen...

Re: Softube Amp Room anybody?

Hmm. Just seems limited compared to the models in AmpliTube. I’ve moved almost completely back to Kuassa. Audio Assault’s amp thing is great though. Especially on acoustic guitar and it’s cheap as chips just now. Don’t like the Melda one. It is fairly limited compared to other offerings. The limite...

Re: Softube Amp Room anybody?

didn’t Softube do the amp sims in Reason too? those are kinda terrible—and I think they also did the ones in Ableton, which are also underwhelming. I’d be distrustful of Softube with amp sims at this point. too many other fantastic options out there these days. The Softube RE amp sims are hot garba...

Re: Softube Amp Room anybody?

I use Softube's amp room and really like it. The cab IRs are actually really good. I ended up buying just about every add on for amp room. They all randomly go on sale for really cheap prices. I'd recommend trialing it first. The only downside is it can be CPU intensive. Easiest way around that is t...

Re: [D&B] DESIGNER BAG

Really cool track and a solid mix. The only thing that stood out in a distracting way was the lead that kicks in at 2:34. Seems a little too loud but I am listening on a laptop so not the best thing to be listening on. Very nice work with the drums. I've never been able to work with drum loops (not ...

Re: (Electronic) Welcome to my World

I'm also really curious if anyone knows why the high end of my tracks are trash only when uploaded to Soundcloud? Are you mastering to peak at no more than -1.1db true? I believe I mastered at -0.8 or -0.9. I'll have to try changing that and see if it makes a difference. Thanks! Nice Tune* Thanks! ...

(Electronic) Welcome to my World

COVID19 finally got its dirty hands on me. After I weathered the first three days, I was completely bored in quarantine so what better way to pass the time than to write new music? Here's one of the songs I actually completed. Enjoy! https://soundcloud.com/officialstrangers/welcome-to-my-world?si=50...

Couldn't understand any of it but still enjoyed listening all the way through. Like other mentioned, the song from Lion King was all that I could recognize. Even though it sounds like you had your work cut out getting things to sync up, you did a great job. The end result sounds great and something ...

Re: Strymon BigSky Plugin!

Cool to see these guys putting their stuff in VST land. As cool as this is, I've already spent way too much on my delay and reverb pedal collection and not about to also start paying high prices for plugin variants. If they follow suit of Eventide's $29 sales, I may be interested.

I had a similar issue with Reason 11 Suite a few months ago. Out of the blue, Reason wouldn't load any of the Reason REs. The entire folder of Reason REs was missing. Sync all from my account didn't make any difference. I slapped the check for updates button several times and it randomly prompted fo...

That was really interesting to listen to. The first version is pretty intense but I kind of like it more than the softer version.

I've been specifically trying to capture an "enormous" kind of feeling on the track i'm working on now and this was particularly entrancing because that's where my mind has been.

Even for being short, this is really good. I'm always a sucker for a good cinematic piece. I'm surprised you used ProjectSam on this. I demoed it a ways back and remembered the higher notes being brittle and tin-y, neither of which are present in your track. The reverb sounds nice, too. Which did yo...

Can't go wrong with any degree of funk especially when you've got a nice bassline like this. The mix is very clean, too. Nice work!
