Sorry Carly, I was quite shocked by your suggestion. I was trying to be funny about it but in hindsight it was at your expense and you didn't deserve that, sorry.
apology accepted.
Can you please explain why you are shocked by my suggestion?
(I'm fully up for a discussion, what I am suggesting and others here could be wrong, but so far no one has really said why it's wrong)
Just that specific suggestion that it might help someone browse a forum. IMO all of this stuff fits just fine into T&T. Also I really think there's way too many categories as is, it's messy, and also consider is someone going to open up all of them? Probably not, so a lot of things will get missed due to an overwhelming amount of forums. I agree with some of the merging suggestions for the same reasons.
People use things differently, I bet my workflow is totally different from yours in the way you use Reason, it does not make one right and one wrong, just different ways. Some people like forums top heavy (not many categories) makes it easy to surf around them keeping an eye on most things, but the point I made earlier, when I first came to this forum I was only interested in the music side of things and my shortcut to the forum was straight to that category, that category could have been several layers down, still would not have effected the way I viewed it.
I went onto a new forum (car related) the other day, there were a lot of categories but a few minutes later I found the perfect section for why I was there and got the answer to my question.
If you are keeping an eye on a lot categories, adding a few more won't effect your workflow as it best to view the forum from the quick link unread posts etc.
The problem with the T&T section (and I'm not talking about people creating tutorials or have Tips to give ), as I said earlier really it's the end result of a discussion where some solid information came out, again as I said I don't necessary want to read about failings to get to the good stuff. So there is stuff in a lot of the other groups that should be made into a T&T, some people don't have the time or just can't be ass'ed (which is a shame).
With regards to people who are sayings CV is just a number between 0 and 127, great, thumbs up.
Do you know what a socket set is?
Do you know what a screwdriver is?
If you have answered yes to both them questions, then you know what simple tools they are...... Now go and take that car apart, oh there are a couple of faults that will fixing before you put it back together again...
CV is one of these simple things that in turn can be very complicated.
Setups can be complicated but broken down and explained they become simpler.
I still see things that people are doing with CV's which does not just make me think, Ooo that's a bit different, it's makes me open my eyes to a bigger picture of where else I can take this..
I do post on a number FB sites and I get a lot of, Oh, I never thought of doing that way or I never realised that could be done and I'm talking simple stuff, but wait what is simple to me is not simple to other people because they lack that bit knowledge and like wise they will know things I don't know because I lack that knowledge. Forums are great places to share knowledge.
The back of the rack to me just as important to the front of the rack to others. Cabling is a big part of Reason, it was one of the reasons that I got into the software in the first place. So to request a section on "Cabling" or the "I/O's of Reason" I think is not unreasonable considering the vast area it covers (and hence why I also split this down into sub section).
