I'm new to making Reason tutorials, so please let me know if you have any comments or questions that I can answer. I'm happy to help! Please feel free to subscribe if you want to see more videos in the future.
I made a video to explain Kontakt routing within Reason. Let me know what you think!
Fine work! Keep on making tutorials!
... and now I realized that there's a template folder
One thing that shocked me was the high DSP load around 6:10 in the video:
only 2 Kontakt units and 3 up to 4 bars on the DSP meter ... one more Kontakt would not be possible, I think
but that has nothing to do with the professional quality of your tutorial video.

Thank you, I shall continue! Glad you learned something new!Ahornberg wrote: ↑23 Aug 2017Fine work! Keep on making tutorials!

Yeah, honestly I've been having issues recently with DSP load which I haven't figured out yet. I am on a laptop, but it's still frustrating because this laptop is as powerful as a lot of desktops. Will look into it.
Thanks again!
I have a song with 9 Kontakt instances (plus NNXTs etc.) that runs fine on 1024 buffer @ 44.1 kHz. My 2 year old iMac doesn't fair well with the "stress test" so I know it's not some super-system by any means!
Also, I use only one Kontakt for drums (keeps CPU down, plus no Combinator, which also uses CPU). I route mono kick/snare/hat, all toms to a stereo pair, OHs to a stereo pair, etc. and it's more than enough control for me.Selig Audio, LLC
You know, I didn't realize it until now, but I bet my buffer size is causing my high DSP meter. I usually am on 48k, but I keep the buffer at 64 samples because I record audio as well. I'll have to mess with that.selig wrote: ↑23 Aug 2017I have a song with 9 Kontakt instances (plus NNXTs etc.) that runs fine on 1024 buffer @ 44.1 kHz.

Also your way makes sense, I hadn't though about that. I suppose kit elements are mono (except OH) so you could theoretically even get all elements accounted for on separate mix channels using one instance of Kontakt. Will have to experiment with that.
Thank you! That's an interesting idea, I will have to give that a shot.

Tips and tricks for Vst sticky would be good imo. I would hate for this info to get lost.selig wrote: ↑23 Aug 2017I have a song with 9 Kontakt instances (plus NNXTs etc.) that runs fine on 1024 buffer @ 44.1 kHz.

Hey Mike - just a suggestion... all of your voice overs in your reviews sound like low bit-rate MP3's from the late 90's. Not sure what's going on with your recordings, but you might want to look into that. Otherwise, nice work!

I was actually JUST about to say something similar. Great work and content (totally subscribed), but that vocal export isn't doing that mic any justice at all (at2020?).EnochLight wrote: ↑25 Aug 2017Hey Mike - just a suggestion... all of your voice overs in your reviews sound like low bit-rate MP3's from the late 90's.

How was I supposed to know "don't touch" meant to not push the big...red...button?
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback! It's funny you bring that up, because I realized earlier today that I hadn't given much thought to the audio quality of the voiceover... which seems silly, given the subject matter. Up to this point, I've recorded audio directly into OBS and have been using their stock compressor, noise gate, and noise suppressor. So today I tinkered with using some of my VST plugins in place of their stock modules, and I think it'll make a difference.EnochLight wrote: ↑25 Aug 2017Hey Mike - just a suggestion... all of your voice overs in your reviews sound like low bit-rate MP3's from the late 90's.

All that to say, I think (I hope) you'll notice an improvement in the near future! Thanks again!
Close, it's an AT2035! See above comment -- you will hopefully hear an improvement in upcoming videos. I'll keep working at it!aburazaru wrote: ↑25 Aug 2017I was actually JUST about to say something similar.

No worries! That said, adding/changing effects won't help - it's the audio sample/bit-rate that your voice over is being recorded or rendered at. Your mic is fine (I use a similar AT mic and it sounds brilliant).MikeMcKew wrote: ↑26 Aug 2017Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!
