Re: Samples - beginner question

I do a lot of recording of all sorts of things and I can't see an app being better for manipulating sounds than a DAW. I'd say far better is to spend a few quid/bucks/whathave you on a recorder so you're getting high fedelity 24 bit/96k. Then you can do what you like with em.

My 2p anyway.

Re: Poll - How Many Songs Have You Finished and Released in 2016?

Yep, wrote and finished an album. Well, I was working on it for a while but I fin them in Reason this year. Problem is I released the bastard on the 23rd June ie, Brexit. Totally crashed. (shrugs) So on to the next mission I guess. Of course the other possibility is that it just sucked and no one ca...

Re: Tinnitus

I have mild tinnitus ever since a head injury some years ago. Smacked my head on a concrete floor. When I came to my hearing was all muffled. That faded over the course of a week or two. After that I had really bad sensitivity to certain frequencies (crowds talking and guitar distortion basically) ...

Re: Something To Help Unlock Your Creativity

I think this one... It’s also important to notice the big difference here. Rather than try to take one loop and turn it into a track, we now have 5 or more loops. ...from step 4 is key. For me anyway. I don't bother trying to finish anything when I'm in jam mode. I just bash shit out and put it on t...

Re: I've lost my mojo.

This is an interesting read... http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20160809-why-it-pays-to-be-grumpy-and-bad-tempered Turns out people that are a bit grumpy or sad tend to be more creative.

Re: Rack Extension 'Desert Island' Mentality

I know that feel, I tend to hoard Youtube videos - what if they all got deleted off Youtube or something? Best to be prepared I say :) Yeah, I do that.

Re: Does Reason 9 sound the same as earlier versions

I could hear a Reason track, anywhere. Isn't technology awesome, my favorite place to hear reason tracks other than directly in reason is in my car. Something about hearing a track I've been working on while traveling is so appealing. Probably cause I can't tweek it. But I almost always throw an mp...

Oh right, so an orchestra is also "an instrument"? And since when is a sequencer an instrument?


Since they gave one to me. ;)

Re: What are you best at in the music production chain?

I'm good at sound bending/sound design but crap at composing. As such, I've come up with a way of making music that has as little to do with 'composition' as possible. I warp and bend and tweak and randomise until I'm happy with it. Set processes in motion and see what happens. Funny thing is that I...

Re: Get rid of the bright coloured clips!

I don't get why the default is orange. Used to be powder blue when auto colour was switched off. That was better. But what I tend to do is see the orange as temp. Once something is fixed on a track I change the colour.
Thing is lookng at the other colours there it could have been worse!

ReasonFile Icon Isn't There...

I know this may seem a bit trivial but on my comp all Reason files from R7 onwards don't show as an orange reason icon. The'yre just blank white .reason files. The files all work fine, etc. but it's hard to differenciate when I'm look through folders with .reason, .wav, .aif and so on. I've worked o...

Well. Reason is a piece of music production software. Not a polish-up-my-long-ass-files kind of affair.

He's not talking about load time, he's talking about recalculating sample rates. And yes, it takes an eternity and a half for long files.

Yeah, I totally agree. Sort by developer sucks. I have no idea who made this or that RE, nor do I care when I'm in the middle of something, but I need to know this now. Plus a load of RE's that I don't spot and mess around with. It was a bad idea fars I'm concerned.
