Full disclosure: I hate when Youtubers post Livestream links like this days in advance. My constant need for instant gratification runs into problems.

I wonder if RS / Ryan is going to be on before.

I wish Loopop did plug-in reviews as well. Love to see him put Algoritm through its paces - his hardware reviews and demos are some of the best on YouTube. Super detailed and 100% unbiased.

Absolutely. Loopop is the bee's knees and one of only three music tech/review YouTubers I still subscribe to. The other two being Ricky Tinez and Starsky Carr. Too much noise with the others.EnochLight wrote: ↑22 Feb 2021I wish Loopop did plug-in reviews as well.

Wish there were more people using Reason on YT. Many that you can find seem to be hiphop/trap/'making a beat' style stuff which isn't my bag. I like Adam Fielding, Ned Rush used to do Reason stuff a decade ago but he's all Ableton Live now (very good though). I did watch Venus Theory a bit when I saw him doing Reason stuff but stopped when I realised that he was just too click-baity for my liking and also he's one of those people that think drinking coffee is a personality.

Sorry if this has been asked before: will we be able to authorize algoritm on the usb ignition key once it is available?
Thanks
Thanks

I would be very surprised if not. It should just use the same mechanism as before for authorisation. It'll be in the shop to buy, then you do a Sync All in your account to get it downloaded and authorised onto your Ignition/Computer/CodeMeter.
Unless RS have got something new planned up their sleeves but I doubt it...

Sonic Lab are great too, thorough and I also love Dr.Mix although he night not necessarily be as thorough as he's not always reviewing just demo'ing.EnochLight wrote: ↑22 Feb 2021I wish Loopop did plug-in reviews as well.

Reviewing software is not as appealing as watching people turning synth knobs on youtube. I am sure youtubers are looking at their analytics. White Sea Studio is the only one I remember doing plugin reviews regularly.

I can't ever seem to watch without having to pause the videos, the content is good but I think sometimes he could do with taking a breath and slowing down just a bit.

Interesting. For Bitwig there is (was, she's since moved to Studio One AFAIK) a youtuber who'd do a 60-90m video for a topic that could've been covered in 5-10m max. So I kinda know what you mean, just in reverse

Yeah like I said I just find it difficult to just watch, I'm sure it's just that YouTube style like the constant cut jump thing, but just maybe a pause or two between sentences would make it easier on the brain.

Here's hoping their unique spin on this will result in an FM synth I actually find myself using regularly beyond curiosity noodling. FM's potential is vast, if not endless, so I'd love to see them take an original approach to sound programming from scratch. I'm quite fond of Ableton's Operator as one of the friendlier, more practical examples, so there's plenty of potential for design creativity.

I completely agree and I have to wonder if there is a single Reason user out there that wants this over program improvements. From what I can tell RS just does whatever they want and never really considers what customers want. Its almost as if they intentionally upset and troll their own customers.

Reason has always been known for its synths IMO so I think it's proper for them to at the very least have one great entry for each type of synth. Now that Px7 is gone they need a new FM synth. And they needed Europa as a modern Wavetable hybrid, Grain for granular, Friktion for PM.

I think that was true in 2000-2008, but since Thor, all the synths in Reason have been very much B-tier "built-in DAW synths", nothing that could survive as a standalone VST. For example, Europa is "fine", it's probably the best "generic boring wavetable synth" to be included in a DAW, but compared to something like Vital, which is FREE, it's not on the same level. Grain was a huge missed opportunity, not even as powerful as abandonware like "The Mangle". And Monotone is an embarrassment that annoys me every time I see the thumbnail taking up space in the browser. Friktion is the only one I've seen recently that looked like it actually had some creativity, passion, and originality, but I haven't demo'd it, so I cannot say anything about the actual sound.

Loopop is a bit boring unless you're interested in buying the piece or have purchased it and want to learn the bare minimum on how to use it...
Tinez is fun to watch regardless. It helps that I actually like the music he makes.
Stimming is another great to watch whether you're interested in the product or not. He has made me slightly more interested in the new Novation one even though it isn't for me, but it looks fun!
The others... I really dislike YouTubers who use dumb thumbnails with Photoshop, facial expressions (

Going off-topic here, but what’s wrong with Grain exactly? To me it’s the most useable one UX-wise and sound sculpting options are at least decent..?chaosroyale wrote: ↑24 Feb 2021I think that was true in 2000-2008, but since Thor, all the synths in Reason have been very much B-tier "built-in DAW synths", nothing that could survive as a standalone VST.

Agreed. Grain is an excellent "workhorse" granular synth that's extremely easy to program. Is it the best out there? Of course not, but I'd argue that even the content that comes with Grain out of the box makes it far more useful than "The Mangle" ever was (I have since deleted that abandonware VST so i don't know if they did anything else with it).froggo_gfx wrote: ↑24 Feb 2021Going off-topic here, but what’s wrong with Grain exactly?

But I'm biased, as Grain is one of my favorite Reason instruments.
I suspect that Algoritm will be similarly polarizing. Many users will hate it, many users will love it, and many users will just see it as a missed opportunity. Such is the way of things.
