Re: External drives/enclosures for storing music projects/files? Is RAID necessary?

Maybe you've left out some additional backups you're doing, but RAID is not a backup solution IMO. Your backup needs some type of history (in case of accidental deletion or file corruption), and ideally you should have a second offsite backup as well. Once those two backups are in place, you may fin...

Re: Is there a player that can add/remove delay?

I don't think it's possible for a player to shift things backwards, as it's unaware of notes yet to be played.
But you could slide the audio using this https://roboticbean.com/products/ts-1/

Re: Arturia Minifreak V

A lot of 1:1 VST/Hardware synths are coming out lately (see also Korg's modwave/wavestate/opsix). There's a real appeal to having 1:1 control of the VST with no setup required. MiniFreak at least supports this (not sure if the Korg ones do). Do any of them work properly in Reason out of the box (whe...

Re: Thor phase issue when stacked (volume)

It's not exactly the same, but you could try using the Wavetable oscillator instead of the Analog oscillator.
The Basic Analog wavetable with position at max is a saw wave.

Re: VSTs like Polar (delay buffer)

Have you tested Puffs Buffre RE ? Thanks but I'm not seeing the specific delay buffer like Polar has that I'm looking for. I think the word buffer is used for stutter effects to describe the temporary storage of sounds that are manipulated, could be wrong. Polar's delay buffer is amazing and powerf...

Re: Transferring Reason to temporary laptop

I'm not too familiar with how Windows handles VSTs, but if it's anything like macOS, I don't think copying them over would be straightforward. VSTs aren't consistent in where they store data on the system, and authorization may break depending on the plugin. Some will work if you just copy over the ...

Re: Transferring Reason to temporary laptop

If you're using machine authorization and you're able to boot the broken laptop with an external monitor, then you probably should deauthorize it from the RS website before sending it in for repair. That can be done from this link: http://www.reasonstudios.com/go/D43EA89E Otherwise, you may need to ...

Re: Monitor upgrade broke reason 12 - advice?

Reason actually uses GPU rendering as of version 12.
In the macOS display settings, if you option-click "Scaled", are you able to choose any low resolution options? (like shown here). That might help narrow down the cause. Not sure exactly how it looks in Ventura's new settings app.

Re: Reason won't load since update

A couple ideas... You might want to try using a different authorization method. Like if you're using machine authorization, try deauthorizing the machine and using internet authorization. Or vice versa. Also, if you have another DAW, it might be worth trying to load the rack plugin. If that works, t...

Re: How to simplify automation (Inspiral)?

The 12 steps could be accomplished by mapping each scale to a note using the Combinator with Key as Source and restricting the "Source Range" to four notes on each device.

But the tricky part would be turning the other players off when the note is triggered. I'm not sure there's an easy way.

Re: default gain setting is different between mix channel faders and volume knobs?

The controls don't cover exactly the same range, and it's not straightforward to convert between them. The maximum setting on the SSL is louder for instance.
But 100 on the 14:2 is the same as 734 on the SSL. That's the one thing you can be sure of.

Re: Roland System 8 Help: Only keys work, no knobs, sliders etc

From my testing in the past, I've found Reason only sends note and performance data (mod wheel, etc.) to VSTs. It doesn't send other CC data. This means features on some plugins like built-in MIDI learn don't work. You have to use Remote instead.
