Re: Spitfire Audio - BBCSO Discover - $49 or FREE

The Pro version of BBCSO has a ton of microphones so you can have more control to dial in the exact sound you want. It's a lot pricier than "free" though.

Eight combinators for send effects, set up by default with three reverbs, a 3/16+4/16 pingpong delay, a basic 3/16 delay, and some empty ones. Embertone Walker 1955 Steinway Lite piano, grea...

Re: Friktion vs Miroslav Gold

Miroslav was worth considering 20 years ago, not so much nowadays. I agree that BBCSO Core on sale is a good way to go if you're looking for a full orchestra. On sale it goes for I think $240 a few times per year (if you own Discover, which you can get for free by filling out a survey and waiting a ...

Re: iZotope Neutron Elements SALE

Neutron is great, and even the elements version has a great feature set. It’s my go-to EQ, and the visual compressor is very useful too.

Re: Tina Guo Acoustic Cello Bundle on sale

I own the Tina Guo vol. 1 cello, it's got a lot of feeling in the performance that makes it really nice for slow expressive melodic cello leads. It's a one-trick-pony for sure, but it's better at that one trick than anything else on the market.

Re: Question re: Native Instruments/Native Access/Kontakt and automation

Kontakt can be a bit fiddly with automation, but you can do it. Pop open the full large-window view (with the browser on the left and whatnot) and then look for the Automation tab above Kontakt's browser. Go to the Host Automation page. There should be a list there of which host automation parameter...

Re: The new GUI could be a make-or-break chance for Reason

Honestly I'd prefer a more consistently skeuomorphic look and feel in Reason's newer devices, too, though the Homer and the general tone of this thread are really exaggerating the issue IMO.

Re: Reason and BBCSO Core

I wasn't aware that you were using R9.5. My bad. R9.5 is the first iteration of VST Support in Reason. A lot of bugs were solved in R10, and R10.4 introduced improved performance. If you're using SSO with R9.5, you're really on odd waters because it didn't even exist and any issues that might be fo...

Re: So what are your thoughts on Grouping / Stacking

Being able to put tracks into groups or folders would be great, and has been much-requested around here. Extending it to the rack is also an interesting idea and might be helpful for keeping things organized there. Being able to save and recall groups of tracks at once has also been a feature I've b...

Re: zampled euphonic strings

It's a scam, same as Softphonics was. Euphonic Strings is an autosampler rip of something else, and their website (when it still existed) was full of stock photos instead of any actual pictures or real info about the sessions, performers, or engineers. Besides the legitimacy issues, the samples are ...

Completely different. Stringwerk doesn't do solo instruments, and you're not going to get a convincing ensemble out of Friktion.

How is hi res handled for all the 3rd party REs?
Is it up to developers to redo graphics or what will happen? Pretty big issue isn't it?
All REs since day one have had hi-res GUIs already made and ready-to-go, Reason Studios just has to recompile them to use the hi-res assets.
