Re: Any buyers for this guitar???

I can appreciate quality workmanship as much as anyone but that thing is ugly. What are a bunch of random sprockets doing on a guitar anyway? Where's the correlation between the two? The one right next to the sound hole on top of the pick guard in particular bothers me. If my motorcycle sprockets l...

Re: EDIT: Anyone in London on 2 Sep? Gig tickets for grabs

Just bumping this to make things clear: I am giving two tickets away. The gig will be great and I am really upset I am going to miss it, but it'd be a shame for these tickets to go to waste. Broken English Club (aka Oliver Ho) will be presenting this in a special version conceived for this particula...

Hmm... to my aged ears, it is:

I may be totally off but that's what I think. In my defence, I haven't tested the TB 03 extensively.

Still too small on the original units given the space between them, I love the 808, but always hated the knobs. No one makes knobs like Moog.

So a 10 is not possible.
No need now that Reason supports VST:

Re: RE: Re: RANT

Exactly. Nothing called BIOS on a Mac. If you were familiar with Macs you'd know. Now, on the internet you'll find lots of Mac newbies asking where the BIOS is and people will point them to the Mac equivalent, which is NOT called BIOS, but EFI (Open Firmware is no longer used). Anyway, you're late ...

Or do you mean that actually the BIOS on Windows is Open Firmware? As said above, it is analogous , that is, has a similar function and is used pretty much the same way.

Re: Reason 9.5 – VST in Reason

As far as I know, there is only one type of VST, be it effects or instruments (also known as VSTi). The only thing is Reason will only support VST 2.4 (the SDK is currently at v3.6), but most plugins are still 2.4, and many DAWs haven't adopted VST 3 yet.

Re: Wav files Drum samples Reason

They are in the soundbanks. The soundbanks can only be opened in Reason but there is nothing stopping you from recording them on audio tracks then bouncing them. Alternatively you could also rewire Reason to your DAW.

Don't think I will. Still on 7, but using Reason less and less. That said, I think this is a good Reason upgrade, especially for the Reason-centred producer who skipped 8.

Re: No one has maxed out Reasons capabilities yet

The OP is definitely correct. Reason has, if I've done the maths correctly, a theoretical maximum Music Greatness Points throughput of 2380, and from the Music Greatness benchmark tests I've seen, even the best songs (by some famous artists that are known Reason users) top out at around 1750-1800. ...
