Re: Studio Desks

Roll your own :D We've got a 900mm deep worktop (usually used for your kitchen island since bullnosed both sides), and another 600mm on the side for extra space etc. 900 deeps allows us to have 2x 19in rack units either side of a Mackie d8b mixing desk, then Machie Hr824s on top of the 19in rack st...

Re: Studio Desks

I had to relocate my home studio to fit the desk in - I'm lucky I could reorganise things to get the extra space. The extra space is (almost) worth the -2C temperature coming through the all window room and uninsulated floorboards ....

Re: Studio Desks

Anyone have any good tips on studio desk setup? I have a max 1.5m width to play with, but currently using an Aldi 'office' desk which won't fit a full size keyboard (no room to put on a keyboard stand either). Ideally something like the SWAMP brand, with Monitor stands and keyboard/mouse slide out ...

I am going to try this on my next mix for sure. I do believe I have not been doing it right so far.

Re: Which VST Plug In(s)?

One of the things I enjoyed so much about Reason was its exclusivity...and that's not meant in a bad way. It means that you had to actually buy your way into Reason. There were no pirates, nor shitleeches on this forum. It was clean. I don't see that being the case anymore...unless the Pheads have ...

Re: Reason was such a close tight Forum

I know! How about a special forum only for very important, elitist, and special Reason users?? You could call it NO NOOBS ALLOWED - REASON ELITE WELCOME or something similar and then feel very important once you had accessed it? That way, everybody is happy!!! ; )

I see what I've done here. Just asking about which Re generates always so many diverse options and opinions, then expand that by a million or so for VST's !!....so many, so many ... my mind is in a knot! Having said that, this is a great way to get the insight into what people rate and what it's use...

Re: Reason was such a close tight Forum

I'm not sure why anyone would be concerned about this. Personally I'd love the opportunity to help someone out with even the most basic query. There is no such thing as a noob here, as we are all just Reason users - as far as I'm concerned anyway.

Those ample Guitars sound really really good. I love the fretboard to keyboard display. Time to re-evaluate my short term finances ... again!

Re: Which VST Plug In(s)?

So, a whole new world of opportunities has opened up in Reason. We can talk about VST's! What I really want to know is, what VST Plug in will you use in Reason and why - what will it do better/differently to existing Re's and Instruments. I have heard people drooling over Guitar Rig, Native Instrum...

Re: Do you also dance?

Not at all. Ever. I did quite like to, big disco moves mainly, then moved to a breakbeat style, eventually calmed down to a lame sidestep, then just couldn't be bothered any more haha. Sometimes my music makes me bob my head or tap a foot. My tween daughter often dances around to some of them, so th...

Congratulations everyone - some superb sounds were in this contest. I'd already bought the VK-2, it's the only Synth I use at the moment.

Re: 13 inch MacBook Pro capability

I have a rookie question here to dive a bit more into options with the Macbook Pro and hoping you guys can help! I've had an early-2011 13" MBP with 8GB RAM and ever since I've upgraded the OS and Reason to 9.x, the laptop's beginning to feel dated. :'( Last week, I finally got the "Computer too sl...

Re: Studio Desks

Thanks for the advice. The available space is cramped - one wall in a spare bedroom, so options are limited. I do have plans to subdivide another room, expand the existing spare bedroom then snaffle another bedroom as a proper studio one day, but for now I just need to cram in a decent desk to accom...

Here is my second entry. Tried for a club style banger with limited success, but, still was fun to make. 13 Vikings, 2 Kongs.
