Hi all, In the next few days I will upgrade to R9, but I am a bit confused. My previous Reason (still 6.5) is uninstalled and I downloaded the R9 file (3.5GB). Should I buy the upgrade before installing R9, or can I install now, use in demo mode until I upgrade? I tempt to try it at least in demo mo...

you must be kidding, this can't be serious

I loved this tune! Of all the house sub-genres, the good old 90s chicago house is by far my favourite, and I definitely feel that vibe here. I few thoughts when I listened: to me the overall tone is a bit too clean for that chicago sound, maybe your mixing skills are too good for this :-) because yo...

What is the boxed version exactly? Is Thomann really selling the boxed version? Sorry for my stupidity, but how does it work differently to the online download/code? Do I receive a physical package??? Why?
If this wasn't confusing, I'd buy the upgrade instantly.

Neuman: f...cking good minimal dance music! Almost techno. I absolutely loved it. Especially the first half; the only thing which was a bit weird to me is the plucky synth melody starting at 2:35. A little off to me. A bit too high? I didn't like the higher notes. Anyway, great groove, nice sounds f...

I am confused. Who can buy the upgrade legitimately from Thomann? I mean, from which countries? Only from Germany? (I am from Hungary, and there are no discounts here).

And what is the business for the Props that it allows such discounts for the retailers?

Buying many REs with Reason 6.5 is problematic. I am still on R6.5 and will upgrade to R9 next month after the release. However, if I want to buy a RE on this week's sale, e.g. Synchronous, I need to upgrade first. I don't want to bother installing R8 for one month. If I buy the Reason upgrade now, ...

Any feedback, technical or musical is very welcome. To me it sounds very weak and not dynamic, I don't know how mixing/mastering could be improved.

These track skipped my attention, good to discover them.
I enjoyed "Free" the most, and especially its first half is absolutely first class techno, with some Detroit feel.
And crystal clear mixing all the way, I wish I could mix like that.

Thank you all for your feedback, I do appreciate them, and esp. Sem's detailed remarks. I will think them over and try to improve the track.

My first mostly finished track. Reason 6.5, no synths only sampler patches and other samples. Feedbacks are much appreciated (both mixing/technical and musical comments) since I have much to learn. I listened to it many times recently so now I have no idea how it sounds. https://soundcloud.com/grooq...

Nice minimal techno, Herman! One sound I didn't like is the drone-like melodic synth which starts after 3 mins. I disliked its timbre in this context. And maybe it could be more stuttering, arpeggiated, alligatorised, syncopated, shorter, whatever, I dont know, but thats just me. :-) Good to hear te...

this is a nice tech house (or whatever) song, one the best of your recent tracks!

A very nice song, catchy, good to hear such fresh material here, far from the common musical genres! And the video is cool, too. Congrats! :-) However, to me it sounds very hollow or I don't know, as if it sounded from behind a curtain and I am not totally sure if this was intentional. I'd mess with...

Very nice track, Martin!

Why didn't you post the singer's name? At least I could see it anywhere, she has a really pleasant voice.

C1-L1 is based on Molot, and it is sad to see, and quite difficult to understand, that Molot is a FREE vst (and actually one of the very best), while C1-L1 is eur39 (on sale).

Very nice minimal techno!
And the supporting video is awesome.

wow, good to discover such great techno tracks here. Any kind of true techno is a rare guest here on the music forum, but these are great. Esp. Dirtbox is awesome. If it sounded a bit dirtier and some timbres were slightly changed, resampled, it was a top-notch detroit techno tune. (Don't get me wro...

Nice track, Peter! Sounds really good.
(I just listened casually, and without analyzing it, one thing caught my attention, I was not fond of the off-beat hats.)

This is good, i really liked this tune! My problem with remixes here in this forum is that I don't know what comes from the original song (and I couldn't find it, only a lot of remixes). Anyway, this track sounds really good, clean mix, nice (sub)bass, as far as I can judge this is a perfectly radio...

This is a nice trippy (sound)track!

This is a quality techno/techhouse tune!
Care to share what synths you used, MineX?

Great song Tibor! congrats. I really liked it so that I don't even feel like analyzing it. :-) (My only quick remark is that the song is too mono. Or at least many of the sounds are, imho, narrow.) I will listen to your other songs especially because I just found out you lived also in Budapest. Én i...

Another great track from you Herman.

I also thank Hydlide for his work and generous offer of this refill.  I liked many of the patches, especially some chords/stab patches.
