Re: Hardware vs Software

If you have good technique and knowledge/experience, know your tools, you can make it sound good with software, hardware or both. Anyone made some acid track with Antidote' diode filter ? I made a basic acid bass patch with it and thought it sounded pretty good (but I suppose it can't go as deep as ...

Re: Layers...”just” a rompler? Isn’t it?

What irks me with IDT are the effects, enveloppes and so on... are they all the same ? Basically, just pieces taken from PH stock pile ? If not, then I suppose romplers could be interesting.

Re: Was Peff’s CrapRE ever free?

Even though it's a joke plugin it is still pretty damn useful. Setting aside the cassette emulation aspect and it's great as a distortion unit and I've used it in plenty of songs . Of course there are only certain settings that actually works for serious use but that's alright. Here are 3 tracks wh...

Re: Goodbye Hydlide?

Even if one of you switches to another DAW at some point in time... you can still use Reason with it, just Rewire. Just be sure to make a default rewire template file for both Reason & your new DAW, after that it's an easy ride.

Re: Synapse sell out: All RE for 99 ATM

I bought this package Saturday afternoon and didn't have time to mess with it until Sunday. I was very very surprised about Antidote.

You can also go in the preferences and make every synth you put in the rack load with it's Init patch. Very useful !

Re: Compressors. How many do you really need?

There is something I don't get in compressor's marketing technique. They always say it's a super fast compressor yeee. But I tend not to use very fast attacks as much as possible. Am I nuts ? It just sounds better to me. Back in the day it was actually technically hard to make a compressor fast. Bu...

Re: Behringer Studio 50USB 5" Powered Monitors with USB

80Hz is a pretty high roll-off. but, they are 4" speakers. but, there's no way around it - if you have frequencies there (5 - 80 Hz) - unless you accept cutting more than nec. Music can also FEEL good, fyi. Mine Roll off at 45 or 55Hz, Subwoofer - 2019. Been long enough. after a quick glance at the...

Re: Behringer Studio 50USB 5" Powered Monitors with USB

I have the MS-16 and there's very little sub-bass, I believe the freq curve response is 80hz-20khz (for this model). I get around it with my headphones and by looking at EQ's spectrums.

Re: Unusable, GUI lag, Reason 10.1.2d1

I will never run Reason in low-res mode. It's an headache-inducing blurry mess. If I had to run Reason in low-res mode for it to "work" (barely better), I'd just give up on it. Let's hope the upcoming performance update will deliver and not just on the VST front... edit : Try repairing your mac perm...

I contacted them only twice. One was a good experience, the other, a bit dry. Maybe he was in a bad mood or not all of their staff are completely at ease with english. So I guess it depends.

Re: Reason Slow Performance - when is optimisation coming?

Reason has slowed down by almost 50% since version 8 (for me). 9.5 was quite a hit, but with version 10 it got worse (I'm talking even just running old stock synths). In comparaison, Live 10 is only slightly hungrier than Live 9 (and maybe they will optimize it too over the course of it's lifespan, ...

Re: UJAM Beatmakers just released! Read about them and more in our interview with UJAM Founder, Peter Gorges!

Theses are very pricy for what they are, and I don't like them being spread over 3 different devices, this is a trend I really dislike with RE's. I guess they do sound good but.. yeah. Just my opinion.
