Crystal Magic Orchestra's Music Technology

We have very many units and software for making music, but what we most use now is:


Music software -

Reason 9.5

Create and record all music at 24 bit 96,000 Hz and render all music as wav files at 24 bit 96,000 Hz


When we make mp3s of the Reason wav files that were rendered, we use the software:


Switch Plus by NCH Software
24 bit 96,000 Hz wav file to MP3 320 file

We found that Switch Plus by NCH Software makes MP3s at a higher quality than Steinberg Cubase (we also have Steinberg Cubase - which is also excellent software)

Switch Plus software is also very reasonably priced as well.


Have the

Native Instruments KOMPLETE Audio 6 Audio USB unit that we use with Reason and Cubase.

It is set at 24 bit 96,000 Hz audio

Run a Keyboard through MIDI through the KOMPLETE Audio 6 Audio USB unit and use the keyboard with Reason for playing the software instruments within Reason.

It also has the connector to connect our Neumann 24 bit 96,000 Hz Digital Mic through it.

It also has 4 Audio Ins and 4 Audio outs to input from a mixer, output to a mixer and monitors, etc.

It also has a headphone jack.



Have an Alesis VI49 | Advanced 49-Key USB MIDI Keyboard & Drum Pad Controller.

Use the USB for power having the USB cord plugged into a 120v USB charger plug that is plugged into an electric plug. I never plug the USB plug into the computer for power for that does cause problems.

Use a MIDI cord to plug the keyboard into the MIDI plug on the Native Instruments KOMPLETE Audio 6 Audio USB unit.

The keyboard works great and has semi-weighted keys for great play.


Through Reason 9.5 with the above music tech setup we have composed, recorded and created a New type of American Jazz in 2017 called Cosmic Jazz.

Go to the following website page to learn how it is created, to hear it and to buy one of our four albums of Crystal Magic Orchestra's Cosmic Jazz.
