Re: Controller mod wheel rubber degrading

If it's just sticky try warm soapy water. Then try sticky label remover. Then, if you are feeling brave, try a solvent like acetone. I've had success with all these methods in the past. If it is falling apart contact Novation. They can supply common spares for their stuff and sometimes for really o...

Controller mod wheel rubber degrading

This seems to happen to a lot of softer rubbers (elastomers?) in my experience, the texture starts to get a bit sticky and eventually starts falling apart. I'm very happy with the controller so replacing it just to deal with a failing mod wheel seems bad. But I imagine trying to fix it is pretty poi...

The click is on the control-room output as well. However, the browser preview (samples etc.) is completely bypassing any routing and goes directly to output 1/2. So that's probably the reason to have them active during writing/composition.
Exactly.

Re: What do you think re control room in Reason?

So my final solution to this is to hook up the control room to 3&4 and monitor on 1&2 while writing music . Then I'll use Focusrite Control to switch the headphone out to 3&4 for the mixing stage so that I can utilize the send monitoring and it's also where I've patched in my reference track input (...

Re: What do you think re control room in Reason?

The way I found out what is what, is when I connected the control-room to my outputs 3-4, and I thought that not using output 1-2 meant those could stay unconnected (which would solve an issue with the Scarlett MixControl software). Imagine my surprise when I rendered out the song, and I got a comp...

Re: What do you think re control room in Reason?

Yeah, now I have a headphone volume control on my audio interface the need for this routing option is moot (and the Reason control doesn't actually work as I imagined, making it more confusing than useful).

Re: (80's Synthpop/New Romantic) She Walks In Beauty

Great tune, (getting a bit of Thomas Dolby vibe) but have to agree with Quarmat, the chorus seems quieter than the verse! (if I was able to discern the difference correctly? :) ) The solo/bridge is a nice shift from the main song, though perhaps outstays its welcome? And the end is a bit abrupt, per...

Re: Hardware Production Question

My college programming project in the mid-80s was to create a MIDI sequencer on the Atari ST. I even managed to get the dept to buy a CZ-101 as a test device.

It's for the power pack and yes it does look ridiculous. Nintendo called and they want their Virtual Boy back... I used to be a huge VR nerd in the early 90s when the tech was first being explored. Seemed like a super cool idea. I've since matured quite a bit and can't really see it taking the world...
