I really hope there's a Black Friday sale on Portatron. Can't believe I missed it at $29 earlier this year. It's one of those instruments that you don't think you need, then you try the demo because fuck it why not, then you can't live without it. So good I ended up grabbing it last Black Friday/Ch...

There's now a free Portapack available called SonalSampler, which contains one patch from each of the paid porta packs by SonalSystem. It can be downloaded here: https://roboticbean.com/products/sonalsampler/ Saw that - downloaded! Gave it a play through and ended up buying the Textures Portapack (...

Oof. An MPC Live II is just 7.45 pounds (3.37 Kg) and that includes the speakers.

Plus a one quart thermos filled with Mojito is less than a pound.

Hahah now you're talk'n!

Congrats but... not sure why you just didn't pickup an Akai Force or MPC Live 2/One+ instead. Fully self-contained production machines (with plugins!), which would have kept you much more focused on music outside. Laptops are too much of a distraction IMHO. I'm guessing because the those don't run ...

All my new stuff arrived. After numerous failures in setting it up*, it finally all worked. Now I can try it outside! * one annoying one was not realizing the USB-C ports on the MacBook were different on the left and right side. Congrats but... not sure why you just didn't pickup an Akai Force or M...

Ok cool. Closing this thread. Email or PM the OP if you decide to be charitable. /mod

Just rent the R+ for a month at a time, it's only $20 less than a dollar a day and a lot less than a mocha cappuccino and a Netflix subscription, I dare say. There's also a remix competition where you can win a whole year of R+, so just grab it and get started. Let's all just get down to making som...

I literally had to approve this thread, because if it's a bot - that's pretty well done.

We don't need no friggin looper

Yeah the dark theme seems like it was never "finished". I hate that the mixer and rack devices still keep that eye-piercing beige even when set to the dark them. Blocks definitely look "off" with that on.

In DAWs (Cubase, S1 at least) data that can't be edited is marked with lock icon.

Ironically, I've always thought the way it looks in Cubase and Studio One is counterintuitive. Hate the lock icon approach. I much prefer the grey background.

Yeah we are F*cked it's hard now getting paid as a artist/producer so imagine once everything is A.I generated we will be living in a total artificial world...The Matrix Well, not necessarily. Like sampling did for the music industry, all A.I. needs is the correct laws, agreements, and moderation -...

..I can't imagine A.I writing music for you seeing that it's really about a feeling, emotions and experiences you've gone through in life that comes out in the music...But you never know You don't have to imagine it, because it has been a thing for some time now. In fact, there's huge implications ...

What a nice setup. Can't wait to have some place to do it similar. But with some more advanced Monitor Loudspeakers which is my passion

Welcome back, thomaseh.

I mean I can understand Waves a bit, with their endless catalogue of - mostly very old by now, but still good - plugins. I'm probably an outlier, but I'm not fond of Waves' GUI/UX on the vast majority of their plugins. Not one bit. In fact, I dislike them so much that I can't bare to look at them a...

Yep, like I said - seriously doubt RS would do that.

Don't get me wrong. I like Reason and have been using it since 2001, but the way things are going they are pushing me away as a customer. As soon as it is subscription only, i'm gone. You and probably the vast majority of everyone else who isn't on R+ already, myself included. Personally I don't th...

So, how about that #2?

Again, you might want to reach out to RS support to get clarification.

Also, neither of us really knows what was the plan Verdane had for Reason / Propellerhead. My theory is as good as yours. Of course it is, so long as both of our "theories" can be criticised and open to dissection as much as the next one. Yes? And so while we're discussing this, let's stay respectf...

Reading posts like this or some of the earlier ones, I start to recall why I asked for my account to be deleted. How scared you have to be, or insecure, or blinded; to write things like this? Sad. :thumbs_down: No offense Artur, but is it possible you are making a mountain out of a molehill? For th...

One thing's for sure, Niklas Agevik brought the Reason community together with his interview

This thread is rapidly becoming the Enoch against the world show. https://media.giphy.com/media/l3q2uvcxdk1pDLzGM/giphy.gif It's a forum. People are entitled to voice their opinions and, imho, mods should respect that rather than prolonging the argument and smothering debate. The CEO's comments are...

Yeah, no. I don't think for most people here braindead watching of Netflix (etc.) is an alternative to making music ;) That's an assumption you're making based on your own personal activity. Meanwhile, some of the rest of the world does in fact choose to watch a movie or do something else instead o...
