Re: Recommendations for a mini-pc?

I've got a Dell Micro with a 10th-generation i5 CPU and an M1 Mac Mini. Both were used, well priced and awesome! I've performed live with the Dell Micro with a 5" screen and without any screen. Without a screen, I configured it to log in without a password and automatically launch Maschine. The musi...

Dsp is not going to get slower for existing devices.

The UI is already accelerated by the GPU.
It's not processing power I'm worried about. It's OS compatibility

Re: Life after Rewire

Is it only to sync video? There's VidPlayVST which works alright. It's got some quirks when using in Reason, like the video not updating in realtime when scrubbing... It plays ok (aside from the occasional hiccups), but when dragging the playhead, it only updates after you release it (this isn't th...

Let's make it a wager. If Reason 13 does have features not yet announced (even if it's a point update) you are obliged to upgrade. There will be some new rack features for sure (copy Europas engines, new combinator knobs, copy slots in mimic....) I am talking here about essential DAW features nearl...

I agree with iTrensharo, the RS "strategy" is driving folks towards other DAWs. I for one have started using Logic instead of Reason and have started buying VSTs rather than REs.

The whole point is that if they implement FLAC support, it has to be working on every (currently) supported Windows version. Doing that based on native OS-support is still a no-go, as there are obviously many users not running the latest and greatest Windows version. Check here: https://docs.propel...

Okay, so I've made a lot of purchases in the last few months, and I'm embarrassed to say what I did afterwards. First I got a Mac Mini a few months ago (roughly).

Re: Announcing Reason 13

It could be a possibility the the new FX is using some new CPU instructions that older x86 CPUs don't support (like AVX512 or SSE4.2). Highly unlikely. Besides, Reason Studios can easily supply older CPUs with a different binary, or select the AVX512 or SSE4.2 version at runtime. No RE will ever be...

Re: Seeking solutions from fellow beatmakers

In the meantime, assign the janky knob/dial/fader to something else so that it's not captured by the instrument you're playing/recording with.
