For EUR 54,00 (~ USD 59,00) incl taxes it is the most expensive bundle. Though it has Neve EQ emulations included. So there's that.
Or you ignore the Bundle with the Neve EQ's and stick with MP-5 for €43,00 ;) After all, it is 2 EQ's in one!

Re: Blamco Equalizer Pack vs Red Rock Equivalents

I'm in the same boat (not yet decided), and I have tested the candidates (also e.g. Kuassa EVE MP-5) with Bertom EQ Curve Analyser (https://bertomaudio.com/eq-curve-analyzer.html). The Blamco Program EQ was so far the only one that gave me nasty artefacts on the diagram: Screenshot 2024-05-19 at 14....

Iirc this has been discussed at KvR: panning doesn‘t make sense because the filter is still mono. So no stereo spread possible… :(

Re: Announcing Reason 13

In defense of Reason Studio: a lot of other vendors are now doing the same (DAWs as well as VST plugins) as I easily can see in my “Music” folder. What other vendors are you seeing do this?

Re: Announcing Reason 13

They install stuff to the user music directory, which is kind of like rubbing salt into a wound.

Not on Windows.
Uh really? Didn’t expect that they did it the easy way by using system functionality. That’s indeed a flaw. I have my entire sample lib (50GB) in FLAC format. Given that I someday might revert to Windows that would be a major bummer.

Reason already has FLAC support: it can import any FLAC file. Only missing part is the export of the mixdown.

I would use a free re which i can't remember the name of right now but I'm sure someone else here can tell you the exact name. It's something with a/b.

Re: Presonus ruffling feathers with their latest update.

It‘s even worse: With the update they did break VST things, telling „we improved compatibility“, and have the cuzpe to let the plugin developers do the cleanup stuff. And a bunch of newly introduced bugs. I cannot help but feel the updates are rushed more and more. It‘s been 5 years since I switched...

This can‘t be good for Reason Studios and a possible update to Reason 13. Who will buy the update and give up VST2 support?
Same is true for Ableton, Bitwig, Studio One, (you name it)... they are all in the same boat.

Re: Do you get a lot of use out of the Reason players?

Much love for BeatMap here. It usually produces quite nice drum loops - at least more to my liking than the ready-to-use audio loops. But as stated before: use it for synths with percussion sounds. For example with the „Taiko Drums“ preset from Friktion. Instant Japanese drum performance! :thumbup:

Decent GUI and feature rich - looks like a good tool.

I think it has to do with the features the RE SDK provides. Probably it's currently impossible to implement.
