Re: My year of grooveboxes and "toy" synths

Well now I want to buy loads of things! I'm really tempted by a Pocket Operator and the OP-1, maybe there'll be a January sale.

EDIT - Just seen the OP-1 is almost £800! That's not happening.

Re: Akai Mpk Mini 2 - mode switch ...who can help?

I would be interested in the maps, illumen. I still don't know half of the things my Mini can do.
Do you have a map that correctly maps the drum pads to Kong pads? For some reason (no pun intended) I only trigger 3 of the 4 rows across my two banks.

Re: (Ambient) A Little Lullaby

I feel like the sound design on this is so good! I would have no idea where to start with this. It's like something from a chilling dream, I kept expecting some apparition to come flying out from behind my curtains.

Re: Audio Interfaces

Behringer has made shit devices in the past, but this one and its little brother the 202hd are a homerun. I have a 202, but that was a mistake because it doesn't have midi. So now I have a 204, which does have midi and I'm pleased with that. I used to have the Edirol FA-101 when I was on a Mac, whi...

Re: Selling Reason 10 for 150 euros

Thanks bud. I'm pretty happy with Lite, but think I could really enjoy more sounds and FX, as well as having more tracks. The demo wouldn't really work for me, as I would want to load my existing projects and take them for a spin.
But, I will give you a PM on the 16th and see if it's gone.

I hate to be the guy who says this, but I'm interested if it still exists after my payday on the 15th. I currently have Reason Lite, but fancy seeing what the full program can do.

PC Monitor

Not sure if this is in the right sub, so mods please feel free to move it if not. What visual monitors are people using for working on Reason? I'm looking for a new monitor, to run as an external from my Surface Pro. Ideally, I'd love a 1440p ultrawide, because my past life as a gamer and tech nerd ...

Re: Soundcloud New Artist Contract F*ckery

Thanks for posting this.

So if an artist wants to create music and make some pocket change from it what's the best place/tool to do that? Is it bandcamp, or something similar? Their own website with a donate button? Patreon? Youtube?

Re: (Film Underscore) Melancholy Theme 1

The instrument that comes in at about the 1 minute mark reminds me of Morricone's Gabriel's Oboe. And I enjoy the ascending left hand motif. Calming.

Re: (90's) Accidentally Wrote a Sitcom Theme

This was excellent, seemed to perfectly encapsulate the 90s. Were you recording live in to Reason for that? The drums sound way better and more real than I would imagine programmed drums to sound.

Re: (Ambient) Sola Luna

Conjured thoughts of Stanislaw Lem's Solaris. I like the way some of the offbeat clicks play with the feeling of the time signature. At the end those synth stabs made me think of Pink Floyd's Money, or Time, or maybe one of the other one's that I can't quite remember the name of it. Anyway, that was...

Re: (House) Jeg Elsker Deg ( 4 tracks EP)

I love that four on the floor kick in the first track and that synth bass. Is it stacked with something else or is that just one sound? I also felt like there were some polyrhythms at the start of track 1, or was I just counting wrong? Some kind of overlapping shuffle? I love those two contrasting s...

Guten Tag Micha.

I liked your track, very ambient, with some questions in it. I felt like when it ended I wanted more!

Good luck with your fight against cancer, if I can offer a hopeful story: my wife was just found cancer free after her operation. I hope for similar for you.

Re: N3W 4L8UM

I liked this. I feel like there was quite a lot to unpack, with the textures and different grooves. I like the use of dissonance and the way you leave some of that hanging. My favourite bit is probably the break/bridge between 1:00 and 1:20. Did you make all of this in Reason?

I don't even know what it's supposed to mean! I think the next line explains further, but I can't remember what it is at all. By the time the next line comes along I'm already in an existential funk because of the first bit of nonsense.

Re: Does a free Tracktion and Cakewalk threaten any DAWs?

I tried both Tracktion 7 and Cakewalk/Sonar/Bandlab or whatever it's called. I could not work them out and T7 froze my computer every time. I did not rate Cakewalk at all, and I'm brand new to DAWs.

So far Reason L10 has been much easier to figure my way around and use in anger.
