Reason talk

Okay, I'll stop caning Reason now

yeah mr. reasonclosetuser.

is it me or is it cold inside?


genetic sequence + beatokko churn out some quality stuff with reason.

[Macc]

i might do a tune entirely in reason now :d just as an experiment loike.

@ cube, i think it's cold inside was the last tune i really used it for, and that's what, 4 or 5 years old... when did 2.5 come out? it was right then.

maybe it's improved a hell of a lot, i dunno...

sorry.

i forgot the














do it!

[Macc]

What version is Reason up to now then?

3.0.4

fisher price sequencer for a world of fisherprice producers...
...reason came along and any old muppet could knock a track out.

Some great tunes have been knocked out by muppets. On fisher-price equipment. I blame computers.. now any old muppet can have an opinion and I get to read it.

That banana rules.

Common Macc, let's see what you got.

I bet begrudingly, you have to admit it's not that bad after all

The M-Class Effects make a huge difference. Also although scream can sound muddy, try running it in Tape mode with just a hair of compression and a hair of drive and you here a nice difference in the original source sample, it does a pretty good tape compressor if you go easy on it. It pulls the hats and subtelties to the front without killing the transients. Once you go beyond 10 or so on the compression knob then it starts to lose the dynamics and get muddy.

Here's a chain that I've found actually sounds really good in Reason and I've been using it to make samples to export to my EMU. Run your breaks to a line mixer (if you have multiple sources) and from there run an M-Class EQ with a little low shelf boost, 2-3 db or so and a notch or 2 where you hear low rumbling, run that into the M-Class compressor set to where you start to hear just a little punch and then run that to the Scream in tape mode with just a hint of drive and compression and it sounds pretty damn warm. Then add another M Eq if needed to make room or ad clarity.

The one thing I have to give Reason credit for is that it has never (literally) crashed on me no matter how many devices I have running. It might sound a bit dry but it is the most stable program I've evr used.

[denaris]

Nice one Hallifax.

And yeah pretty damn stable. The odd crash when rewiring, but rare.

*awaits Maccs lovely reasoning (ahem) on why it's stable*

true... rewire's dodgy from time to time, but I don't need rewire with my E-MU ..

now any old muppet can have an opinion and I get to read it.

..as i say, im just bitter. im getting over it though.. albeit slowly.

[Macc]

I'll need to sort out the newest version if I was going to bother... I may do or may not.

@ Hallifax; I'd like to see just how good the M-Class stuff is, or if it's just better than the original stuff, which make mda limiter sound like a Neve

In fairness, I was saying just the same thing as you regarding Scream the other day to Wilsh in a chat It made a lot of difference when it was introduced. As I recall there was a big improvement in sound fromv1 > v2 as well (?)....

Anyway, unless they've done something radical with the sequencer, I'm not looking forward to programming in there

well im not ashamed to say that i love Malstrom..its the only thing i still use from the day when i started pissing about with the software

everything else has changed but that

Purely to see what is possible from a reasoned Macc , I can sort it out for you

Ableton 6 for prime minister !!!

Reason rewired through Cubase is the future!

Only jesting, never tried it.

its the only way to use reason imo "but i don't use reason". that way you can use decent plugins and routing. even though reason is capable i just hate its sequncer

but it's possible to use the cubase sequencer with reason, innit?

rewire is far too confusing for my tiny brain, or mayeb its just acids implementation. i played for a bit then got hopelessly confused when it came to bouncing individual parts down to audio in acid. ERRGGHoo.

build loops and ideas in reason then export to acid s'all i do. i think if i rewired it i'd just end up fiddling with dx/vst plugs rather than trying to get the building blocks of a tune togeva quickly innart.

biggest issue that they need to address with reason is to make a vsti option, i just like cubase,uad, emu, shortcicuit and nuff plugins bwoy

reasn would be usefull for me if i had a crap laptop and was stuck on top of a mountain or somthing i just love dawguments

this conversation makes me feel dirty

[denaris]

Reason rewired into Ableton is my way forward. :P

so i was reading all the stuff about liam howlett and was thinking is it possible he uses an old akai mpc cos its got that sound to it gritty but to b fair im a novice so im sure your all sighing heavily at me suggesting this
