The order in which synths were introduced in Reason, through the versions: - Subtractor - Malstrom - Thor Subtractor and Thor contain features most associated with subtractive synthesis. Malstrom is kind of in a class of its own, using "graintables" (a variant of wavetables) as its sound source. As ...

REs have not lost steam for me, not in the least. Here's why: My available time for music making has been limited these past 12-18 months. Nevertheless, I've been on a steady RE acquisition program all through that time. It's got to the point where, as I'm working on a song: (a) Finding the RE I'm l...

Re: Using the FET and LA-2A together, I actually like it the other way around, using the FET before the LA-2A to catch the peaks so that the LA doesn't start to pump and just smoothes out the signal after that. Yeah that's a good idea there. Judicious use of the FET in this scenario gives more cont...

Seconded! A Matrix-12 RE in Reason, with CV ins/outs on the back, would be a thing of beauty.

Addendum .... I've heard it mentioned on here that somebody uses the FET in conjunction with Cakewalk's RE-2A, I'd be curious if anybody else does this, and how they go about getting the two to work together. Since the FET has such a fast attack time, it would be better to use it as a limiter than a...

Can't speak to the ChanComp. I just submitted a lengthy post on the FET a few minutes ago, fwiw...

From the Sound On Sound article on Mix Compression (May 2008 - https://www.soundonsound.com/sos/may08/articles/mixcompression.htm) "FET compressors use a particular type of transistor to control the amount of gain reduction, similarly to the way a triode tube works, and are not as widely used for mi...

Polar Uhbik-G ("Graindad") The Echo Neutron Audiomatic Echobode Synapse Ninety Chenille Inevitably, when I'm going for electro strangeness, I end up employing some combination of Polar and Graindad.  The Graindad can impart some really special weirdness to your audio when you incorporate LFO modulat...

Every synth available in Reason (either native or RE) has a sonic signature that differentiates it from all the others. For my money, Antidote is the go-to synth for what I call large-scale pad timbres.  (Large scale = big, massive-sounding, lots of animation).  I agree that the effects are also fir...

Viewed the video.  Read the user guide.  Bought the bundle.  Brilliant piece of kit!

If your DAW is not conveniently situated in such a way as to connect to your home wireless network, I suggest you purchase an inexpensive USB wireless adapter device, such as this little Netgear thing... http://bit.ly/1FsC3bF (link to NewEgg site) Once you have a USB wireless adapter installed and c...

While compressor/limiter devices in Reason all do the same thing to a greater or lesser extent, the algorithms and math that each one uses to achieve the effect are not the same from device to device.  It's a classic case of 'there is more than one way to do it.'  As such, each compressor colors the...

I just went to the store and tried to buy C1-L1, price in PayPal came up $45 USD.  Maybe the store price has not yet been updated?  (As they say, I will) try again later. Normal price seems $ 55. $ 45 should be sale price. D. Thanks, I see where I screwed up - didn't notice the '35' price was Euro ...

Wow, they even have my Reason 2.0 upgrade purchase in there... Since REs were introduced, I've kinda gone bonkers with the purchases.  ("Oooh, a device that turns CV/Gate signals into morse code and makes me a cappucino ... I *have* to have that one!)  I think I had better put the breaks on RE purch...

All the limiters in Reason (native and RE) have their relative strengths and weaknesses.  Speaking from personal experience: I like the warmth imparted by the tube limiter setting in the Onyx RE.  When used judiciously, it does some kind of magic to the signal that my ears really like.
