Re: Comparing Carve EQ RE to Trackspacer VST

They look mostly identical, though trackspacer has a couple extra features, such as setting the panning for the ducking, and LR or Mid Side mode. I haven't used carve so I can't compare how they perform to each other. Trackspacer uses a 32 band Eq, I couldn't find how many bands Carve uses but that ...

Is there a VST that does note filtering/coercion into key similar to the Scales and Chords Player?

One of my favorite features of Scales and Chords is that you can set a key and scale, and then filter out notes that don't fit, or coerce all notes to be in key. Are there any VSTs that do this midi note filtering? It would seem like a basic thing, but I can't seem to find any in my searching. I hav...

Re: smooth ducking effect

Interesting, it does look like Carve EQ is very similar to Trackspacer. Trackspacer does have a couple extra features but theoretically they should be the same. I wonder if they differ in sound quality. I do love trackspacer though.

Re: smooth ducking effect

There is a cheap vst called TrackSpacer which does this. It isn't a compressor. It take the eq curve of a signal, such as voice, and applies the inverse eq curve to another signal, such as background pad or sounds. You can adjust how intense the effect is and narrow the frequency range to apply it. ...

11.2- Create Audio track greyed out?

After 11.2, If I click the "Add Track" button at the bottom of the sequencer window, "Create Audio Track" is greyed out and disabled, but "Create Instrument Track" is available. I can still right click in the sequencer window and create audio track, so there is a workaround. This worked in version 1...

Re: This new "thing" RS working on, will it be included in R11?

I know nothing about it at all but my wild guess would be that it's some kind of automated song creation utility. Maybe it generates a multi track song automatically according to some parameters like style etc. Then you could tweak it to give it your own flavor. I amVproba ly way off though.

Re: Be honest: What were you 100% sure would be in V11 but didn't make the cut?

I would have bet big money that the scalable high res GUI would have been in v11. I just thought no matter what else, that one just had to be there. I had no idea the main feature would be a new product for other DAW users. But I respect the choice they made from a business standpoint, and I also ex...

This might be a horrible idea. But what if they opened up portions of their code, to whatever extent that is possible, to allow volunteer programmers to try adding features. I don't know if they would want to completely open up their codebase, but maybe crowdsourcing some development might get a lot...

Re: Announcing Reason 11

I don't use other DAWs so I have zero interest in the feature of reason as a vst. Unfortunately that seems to be the flagship feature of v11.

Feature Request- ability to disable automatic VST folder scan when Reason is started (or, manually trigger VST scan)

For me personally, 99% of the time I open Reason, I have not installed any new plugins or VSTs. It is painful to sit and wait while the Reason app slowly scans all of my VST folders. And worse, this frequently causes a "blue screen of death", and then the next time I open Reason it gives me an error...

Maybe each month or every other week a competition is started, even if there are no prizes. Winners could be featured on a page somewhere. Each competition features one or two rack extensions or even refill libraries. It could be fun.

I agree with the comments about the drums. A nice broad selection of usable drum sounds will be a huge plus. I also think they should make a drum machine that takes the best of kong and redrum, and add some features similar to breaktweaker/nerve and they would have a huge hit. As it is there really ...

Ozone and Neutron are great, but neutron's dynamic eq function doesn't work in Reason. So all those cool videos you saw where an instrment is being dynamically eq'ed in response to the incoming signal from another instrument? Doesn't work. When you plug in an external signal into neutron, and try to...
