It’s been a while I was thinking of freeing my hands while working in my DAW of choice: Propellerhead’s Reason. No telepathic device being available yet, I reflected on how I could use my feet! Christmas arrived… and at the bottom of the tree was something waiting for me: a MIDI foot controller that...

Wow Red, I should request from NI for a % on their sales :lol: :lol: :lol: ! I only had the time to explore Reason with Kontakt: July / August (and a little in January / February) are my music composition months usually, I usually roll out a bunch of tracks for sale in September / October. That’s to...

Oh, When thinking about it this morning, I realized I forgot to add something: When you change instrument (option D), i.e. by dragging and dropping a drum kit from another instrument (for example in the pic above Modern Drummer instead of studio drummer), the mike arrangement might change for this s...

Hi Redster, Thank you for the kind words :-) Interesting question, I checked it out. Look at the following pic, A,B,C and D are different operations I carried out and observed what would be happening to the internal routing in Kontakt. Kontakt1.jpg If you change the drum Kit (operation A): It will r...

Hi Guys, Like many of you, I have started to explore Reason’s ultra exciting new feature: VST Support. I remember what I felt when I heard the news a few weeks ago: it felt like Party!!!! Yesterday, finally, I had time for some action and jumped into this new creative unknown. So I started to check ...

May Madness is here, so time for some new device exploration!
This device, elementary, seems quite interesting. I checked the video.
Now that it has been out for a while, how do you guys (users) feel about it. Have you posted any music out there that uses it?

I won one at a composition contest 3-4 years ago, so didn't have to purchase it .
Has been in my studio as my main soundcard since. Works perfectly up to now, without a single glitch.

A couple of years ago, I wanted also to produce orchestral stuff with Reason... I produced a bunch of pieces, some even sold well as Royalty Free, but I was quite unsatisfied with what I could achieve, comapred to what was out there. So I bought and learned another DAW (I chose one with Video Sync) ...

RE are still tied down. The great thing about VSTs is I can bring them in any VST compatible DAW making them more valuable. That is why I stopped buying RE. I don't like the rewire workflow. So my RE are stuck in reason while my VSTs aren't allowed in reason. Now that I can bring my VSTs into reaso...

I will definitely continue using and purchasing REs even if the VST supports proves to be fantastic and stable. If I understand well, there will be a module (Serum) that acts as interface, and the VST will show up in an exterior window. That just adds a layer of complexity that could slow down the w...

I actually do all my mixing in Reason, and export, and then I master outside with Ozone. Mastering: I could master inside with Ozone maximiser, a multiband compressor (there is an RE for that but I do not know if it's good - I would actually use the FET compressor after having separated the bands wi...

The solution: Frequency selective side chain compression. Basically, each time the piano plays, you compress automatically the other instruments that play in the same range of frequencies. But when you do that, you only cut their spectra in the same frequency range that your piano uses. Then it is u...

My whole production studio is based on Reason, and I use three screens! One for each main window (Mixer, Seq and Rack).
By setting a template, Reason automatically opens with each full screen

It is so advantageous in terms of workflow: everything that is going on is in front of my eyes!

Hi there, while recording, as you say yourself, you are not mixing. If it is audio (guitar, vocals etc), just get the highest signal to noise ratio. For that record at maximum level without clipping. 1/ Set the output of your instrument at max, 2/ Adjust the input recording level so that it peaks be...

I was so excited when I read the news a few days ago, a nearly twisted my ankle dancing around the house! I had to get used to Digital Performer so I could explore VST instruments, but I always came back to Reason - just a question of workflow: When I compose, I just hate when technical issues distu...

I created very recently a tutorial video about the most crucial Keyboard shortcut for an enhanced workflow experience!
Basically those I use when I am in chain production mode .

here one song with an oldschool EDM vibe , having some fun to make some patchs with the Vecto 

Trippy track - I truely enjoyed that! Too much on my plate to explore the Vecto this week, but after hearing what you did here, I can't wait to put my hands on this sweet synth in a week or two!

My entry is in: "Revolt of The Neutrino".
Sweet little synth that ABL3 !

I listened to the other contestants. Some are really good: Pretty tough competition. 
Good luck all!
