ReCycle 3.0 - It's time for an update

[sitejax]

I don't remember how long ReCycle has been on version 2.2 but if it was to update to compete with Serato, would you use it?

[Marc64]

It's like using either DrOctorex or Kong with the rex player.

All Recycle features would be nice to have integrated into reason though.

[Skimrok]

they have enough on there plate with Reason update features let alone stuff they did decades back

[motuscott]

This old tire fire?

[jlgrimes]

I would like better integration.

Ableton has pretty decent chopping/warping (although I haven't used Reason chop feature in a while, I found it a bit more cumbersome than Ableton). I like how Ableton has nice sample editors in pretty much all of their samplers.

Reason just started doing this with Grain and UUmpf.

Like others have said.
Recycle was cool and innovative some 15yrs ago. The competition has moved past RS with better warping algorithms, DAW integration, and sample track.

Like often, no point in reviving something that provides obsolete work flows, they need to catch up in this department as well.

While I agree that they have enough going on, I notice that the keep introducing new products to sale. If they update recycle and make it vst2 and vst3 they could sale that as well. It seems easier to update this than keep making new products.

Compared to Ableton Live's algorithms RX2-loops are better imo for rhythmic loops.

Would be cool though if RS would design a new loop device, able to read RX2 but also allows you to time-stretch and export wav files in all sorts of ways. Dr.Octo Loop.

Although I agree they should update recycle and octorex, I don't see a ton of stuff you can't do with octorex in this video TBH?

Out of all the really old legacy devices, octorex is certainly the one I still get the most mileage out of.

[chimp_spanner]

All I really want is a hitpoint detection threshold control and some kind of auto-slicing feature in Reason. No need to have this in a separate program IMO.

[chaosroyale]

Why is Recycle even a thing. Dr. Rex (*and the Reason audio tracks) should have a slider that allows you to non-destructively re-calculate the split points of any sample.

...And the time they needed that feature was 10 years ago.

RS could easily have updated Dr Rex like that. Maybe they thought they could make more money by letting Recycle drag on for a few more years, but it has been a zombie for nearly a decade now.

[sQeetz]

It would already be nice if you could assign different keyboard regions for each individual slot in Dr. Octorex.
Automating the 'note to slot' knob in order to be able to access different slots is really cumbersome.

[jaeproduced]

Recycle is heading towards VHS dead technology days if a update doesn't come soon, I'm using serato sample and it's literally kicking recycle butt in that department IMO...

[kuhliloach]

ReCycle's existence never made any sense. The relevant features should be in Reason, not some other app.

[miscend]

I also think the sample slicing features should be integrated into Reason. As for Recycle, I would make it into a general purpose audio editor with album mastering features and integration with streaming services, that would be excellent value for the current 90 bucks RRP.
