Congrats on the upgrade! Yeah, with the built-in Audio Pitch Editor, I find that I need to go outside of Reason into Melodyne extremely rare these days - Reason's editor just works fantastic. On your project CPU use... with Hyperthreading checked, I've found that my larger projects where instruments + effects are spread nicely across multiple mixer channels run a bit better on 9.5.x. My smaller projects, on the other hand, run the same or worse as they did on previous versions.strangers wrote: ↑15 Aug 2017A couple days away from the forum had me eager to catch up on the 20+ replies I missed out on. Quickly noticed I opened quite the can of worms lol.
I did quite a bit of video watching/listening and reading up on what 9.5 has to offer and ended up jumping aboard. $100 well spent, if you ask me. The pitch editor alone made me a happy customer. I never fully got along with Neptune and the new pitch edit feature is exactly what I've been wanting to edit vocals with.
I've seen a lot of mixed comments regarding CPU that had me a little worried knowing I've been working on projects that were already getting close to slowing down a few mixes. Oddly enough, I must have gotten some golden ticket. Those same projects that were starting to push CPU run much smoother on 9.5. Not really sure how or why but I'm not complaining.
Small side note... the new dark color schemes are refreshing. My eyes are enjoying the dark DAW especially when working on multiple projects back to back. Seems to be easier on the eyes or could all be in my head once sleep deprivation hits.
I guess I need to stick to building big songs now - LOL!
Anyway, congrats on 9.5.x. You got a great deal, IMHO.
