Congratulations to the winners, those are some fantastic tracks

OK Joey you pushed me over the edge on this one, hope it's worth the $49

Hardly, since one approach adjusts the volume pre master comp and the other one post master comp

Isn't that sound based on Enya's vocals? Chorused and filtered. Hard to recreate in a synth

Indeed! Maybe the toughest challenge yet, which says something about the quality of the synth methinks.
Congratulations to the winners

Excellent thread guys, thanks. It's usually pads that need a little less pumping in my mixes, will try some SC filtering for sure

I don't really care about new devices except as a nice bonus, REs take care of that. Props should focus on the core product and the SDK. - Rack zoom goddammit, people don't use 640x480 displays anymore. Besides I'm getting older. - Notes to track for REs. Also some sort of CV to track from any devic...

EVE AT-EQs (all of them) Interested to know why "all of them"? E.g. in what specific instances will you go for, say, AT1 over AT4? Or the MP5 (if you're including that one too)? Definitely meant to include the MP5! If I had to choose only one it would be that one, I like it a lot for the master cha...

Whoa this came as a pleasant surprise, legendary generosity by Red Rock! Music production isn't really a natural thing to compete in, or to judge, so it's a really nice gesture to reward all who took the time to put an effort in. Congrats to the other winners, and since I already own (and enjoy) RE2...

Relax guys, it's the submission that counts. Since it's a moderated group your tracks need to be approved before they show up in the group. Obviously Noel can't approve tracks 24-7. As long as you added your tracks to the group in time I'm sure they will be in the running

There are quite a few of my REs that seem redundant now but weren't when they first came out. If I were just starting out, the must-haves in my inventory are: Instruments Predator Punch BD Antidote Dynamics 4Dyne Ozone Maximizer Softtube FET Selig Leveler EQ EVE AT-EQs (all of them) REQ 131 Studio F...

70. Don't really want to think too much about the total price, but apart from a few misses, it's money well spent to improve the quality of my output.

34 Zeros? No chance on that computer. I have a much newer (albeit i5) machine with 16GB and can only do about 7-9 instances at 44.1k with normal audio buffers for mixing (say 700-1400 ms). This is with all inserts and sends enabled (for the song challenge, so plenty of FX). Zero is a DSP hog, althou...

Traditionally EDM people didn't really want/need this feature (more clutter) but it sure helps with Orchestration (and any composing). :) I only make electonic music and I'd love to see this feature, the lack of it annoyed me only yesterday. Even EDM guys sometimes want to see their bassline while ...

Thanks ever so much guys, you gave me the faith and method to solve this issue :thumbs_up: It was indeed an external issue, I had somehow changed the ASIO settings to play everything in mono. That explains the loud bass, the lack of treble and the fact that panned sounds became quieter than tracks d...

I'm having real issues with getting good sound quality when exporting from Reason. After working tirelessly on my track and getting it to sound good to my ears when played back from within Reason, I want to share it with the world and that's when the problems begin. I export song to audio, usually a...

I hope so these are kinda fun. OP do you know when the soundcloud group will be updated? I am curious as to what other people have made. The contestants upload their songs individually when they are ready, so it would be mighty impressive if Noel knew when they were ready ;) Usually there are a few...

Usually the challenges coincide with a new instrument RE hitting the store. There are three of them right now, which is unusual, but there may be months before the next one. Although the rate of REs seems to be increasing, so the challenges may be increasing in frequency as well

I do all my music in Reason, don't need anything else anymore. 1 It's by far the most stable DAW, backward compatibility forever is also a big plus, but the main things are the modularity/CV and the sheer FUN of it. Because fun equals creativity, Reason has a massive advantage over the other DAWs in...

I had massive trouble finishing songs, but I've found that working towards a deadline really helps for me. The song challenges on this very forum have really helped me focus on one track at a time instead of succumbing to the temptation of moving on to a new idea all the time. Let's face it, ideas a...

Interesting. I wonder what inspired him to do that?

I suppose it was the feedback from the beta test team, some of the features mentioned were just too good to be left out

What a prize for this one. I want ALL THE REs!!!!

Zero and Vecto for me as well. In that order, although Vecto can be had for a good price at sale right now
