I was introduced to Reason 2.0 at a Guitar Center, when I was making the transition from a mostly hardware to primarily software studio environment. The only software used in my studio, at that time, was Master Tracks Pro, a software MIDI sequencer. All audio tracks were recorded on multiple ADATs o...

Due to the free VST crossgrade offer, I will more than likely purchase the RE version of The Legend. At this time, I do not use Reason, but it would be nice to have The Legend available if I ever decided to incorporate the said DAW platform into my workflow in the future.

Sorry to read the news. My prayers go out to his family and friends. Phuture, in addition to their various aliases, was one of my favorite House music groups back in the 80's, when I also was a DJ. I still have many of their 12" releases, included some imports, from that time period. Their music, as...

My suggestion is to collaborate with others at the songwriting and/or production stages, especially if they have skills and talents that offset your own deficiencies. This will open up new ideas and lead you down different paths, in music, that you might not have traveled on your own. In my opinion,...

I have never rated a RE because users can trial them and determine whether or not they are suitable for their needs.

Within my extended family tree, there is a very high percentage of trained musicians and singers. However, we all have different strengths, whether innate or learned, and challenges. In my opinion, one of the primary struggles of being effective in the world of music is for a person to find his or h...

Cool! Any plans to use Reason to release anything in the future or are you pretty happy with Samplitude? Using live musicians is the best. Sounds like you're a busy fella! :) Overall, myself and the tracking engineer, who is a friend and excellent musician, selected Samplitude per a compromise deci...

Zero. I completed a 4 song Neo-Soul EP, in Samplitude Pro X2 not Reason, and plan to release it later this year on CD Baby. The music is 100% finalized and mastered. However, my artist website, social media pages and artwork for this particular project are under construction. Music is a serious hobb...

Nice point version update. Per the PreSonus patch notes, below is full list of improvements and fixes for anyone who is interested: Version 3.3 Release Notes (August 25, 2016) : New features and improvements : • Integration with Notion 6: transfer audio and note data between Studio One and Notion, a...

Seems like they licensed this plugin this time around. https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/maag_eq4.html. maag-eq4-01-893e7227.png The shown plugin is an official emulated version of the Maag EQ4M hardware EQ. There is no mentioned of the Maag EQ4M on the RE shop page. Therefore, I doubt th...

At least in appearance and functionality, the concept seems to be based on the Maag Audio EQ4M.

+1

Softube has regular sale promotions. Therefore, I would definitely wait for the TSAR-1 to be discounted. Overall, the said RE is my favorite room and hall bus reverb available for Reason.

Unless things have changed from version 7, which is the most recent license that I own, the answer is "yes". A device, whether an instrument or effect, still consumes CPU cycles when in a Bypass state. However, turning an effect device to an Off state eliminates, or significantly reduces, the idle C...

StarTech Hard Drive Duplicator Docking Station.

I use backblaze. $5/month for unlimited backup. It'll backup flash drives and external hard drives hooked to your computer too. +1 I have used Backblaze for several years without complaint or issue. However, I still backup my data, with a bit-to-bit copy transfer, via a hard drive duplication docki...

In theory, one solution is to run several HP or LP filters in series to achieve the desired dB/octave cut, which are additive. Below is an example: + 1 pole (or 6 dB/octave) HP/LP filter + 1 pole (or 6 dB/octave) HP/LP filter ------------------------------ = 2 pole (or 12 dB/octave) HP/LP filter It ...

Yes, as well as other times throughout the year.

The Zoom H4n Pro looks like a solid product, and it is good to see continued development in the handheld recorder market.

I am still using Zoom H2n, with the accessory pack, for R&B/Soul, Jazz and Gospel band and choir rehearsals, in addition to songwriting sessions.

I am definitely planning to update from the Arturia collection v4 to v5 in the future, which includes the Synclavier. However, I will probably wait until later this year before making the purchase.

Overall, nice work by Arturia!

I own all of D16 products, in VST format, but will probably pass on this one.

At this time, as well as in the foreseeable future, I primarily use one of the following DAWs: * Presonus Studio One 3 Professional * Magix Samplitude Pro X2 Suite * MOTU Digital Performer 9 All three of the aforementioned DAWs offer slightly different workflows, strengths and weakness, but the end-...

I feel you on that but some users are like me that only use Reason as a creation tool or plugin. I have no need for any of those things you mentioned in Reason because I have other DAWs for that. I think you're confused if you think any of those DAWs beat Reason in the creativity category on their ...

The upgrade is a no-go for me and I will remain on v7 until some of the improvements and additions I wish to see are implemented. Nevertheless, I can understand how users whom are more dedicated to the Reason platform than I would be interested in v9. However, for me, Reason does not really have a p...

For electronic music, I would definitely trial RP-Verb.

The Fxpansion Etch Red is great for filter effects, but probably not the best for general mixing purposes.

For general mixing tasks, the standard SSL filters should suffice for most needs. However, if desired, the Code Diggers D-Filter will provide the user with additional filter slopes.
