Mixing in Reason

I would recommend using the built in stuff enough to figure out if its enough for you before dip into the RE and/or VST pools. While using the built in stuff you'll begin to see what is or isn't there for your own workflow...then you can try to fill in any perceived gaps in your own workflow with pl...

Re: What would you like to get if PH do May Madness again?

I'm looking to finish out the Blamsoft collection...hoping to see the VK2, Resampler and the Distortion trifecta. Those are the only BlamREs not in my rack....I'm also planning on getting the Distiller sale it not...that thing is amazing.

Best Midi Controller for Reason?

I have a Kontrol 49 and it has built in Reason support. It works pretty awesome with Reason. I've had it forever and have seen no need to upgrade to something newer, keyboard wise. I Also have a Livid instruments Base 2, which is my favorite controller (also has great Reason support). I tend to use ...

Re: I wonder what RE developers think of the VST arrival in R9.5

By allowing VST plugins, they essentially allow to bypass this entire path. Not necessarily. Steve Duda already hinted at why. One or two people took that to mean he was doing an RE version of Serum when he quite specifically said no such thing. Obviously if I mention it here I'd get a written warn...

ReWire VST

At that point you might as well just use lmms or emi/loopbacking if you're dead set on not using daws with rewire support. You could also sugest that to the companies too, they take input I believe. I have done that...this plugin is far easier. Like I said I use Audition for s specific reason based...

So, there is this guy. http://www.energy-xt.com/index.php?id=0115 I actually use it sometimes to run Reason inside Adobe Audition CC since it doesn't support ReWire.

Re: Expanse vs Serum - Which one to get ?

As some one who owns both Expanse and Serum....Expanse is one hell of a synth. Since I got Expanse, I've mostly started using Serum to create wave tables for it. With Expanse being an RE and all that back panel goodness, I can route it into a seriously monstrous composite combi instrument. Yeah, I'l...

Another thing to note about VST prices is the sad reality that piracy does affect the price in some cases.

Re: Poll - If you could buy a VST in the propellerhead shop, what features would be most important?

Problem is this would never benefit VST developets. They get less money from purchases from the prop shop than they do from their own site and it does nothing to stop piracy....as someone could still just gank it and use it. In addition, most VSTs already have piracy prevention coded into it...meani...

Blamsoft will always get my support...their RE's are awesome. If I have the option of an RE and a VST that are directly comparable, I'll take the RE. Its going to have far better Rack Integration which is why I love Reason. So, Serum vs Expanse (I own both)...I would rather use Expanse, even though ...

Re: RE format future

The RE format is going to be fine. The types of REs that do well will probably evolve and adapt, however. For instance, I'll use Expanse and it's Rack integration over Serum but loading up FabFilter Pro-Q2 VST over GQ-7 is a no-brainer for me.

Re: Reason 9.5 – VST in Reason

From the looks of the design of the Plugin Rack Unit...it looks like a mutated Combinator without the knobs and buttons. Maybe that signals a new and beefier Combinator in R10...
