Re: VST in reason, effects on the rack extension market?

In regards to Spire I'm now faced with a similar decision with the Legend which was at the top of my wishlist. The one reason why I would buy the RE over the VST is that there are refills that I want for it. The second reason would be that at its probably better optimized from a dsp perspective. St...

Re: VST in reason, effects on the rack extension market?

I'd put it this way: Just because you have Mass Effect, doesn't mean people will forego indie games. It's like that. RE is like PSN. Well would you still buy the RE version of Spire, which has no resale value because RE's have non-tranferable licences. When you could just buy the VST which has resa...

Re: Reason 9.5 – VST in Reason

the day reason stopped to be what it was intended to be and became "another DAW". im out. everything after R6 was pointless or simply wrong and this is the conclusion of the developement. there is no point in using reason over any other DAW anymore.

Re: Reason 9.5 – VST in Reason

One thing is sure : VST is not RE ! Don't get me wrong I like it having VST's in Reason, but I can't believe that the workflow and stability is exactly the same ... automation, undo, redo etc... lets wait for the reality check To be honest, the only stability problems I have on either Reason or Log...

Re: Artifacts on Soundcloud/128kbps MP3

Also, I just made a near identical patch with PG-8X in Logic and tried using the Codec preview on it. The artifacts are also there (you can hear them clearly when you solo the artifacts), but they are not as audible in the mix. I'm clearly doing something wrong when I'm working in Reason, or failing...

Re: Artifacts on Soundcloud/128kbps MP3

I loaded a couple tracks with artifacts into Ozone to use the codec preview feature and the artifacts show up before anything is on the master channel, so they are produced by the compression to 128kbps. Weirdly, they don't show up in the tracks I make in Logic using AUs, and don't show up on every ...

Re: VST in reason, effects on the rack extension market?

I think it will be an indie market, just as you said. But it basically is already.

Prices are likely to go down as well, I'd imagine.

Re: Reason 9.5 – VST in Reason

Well that's a LOT more comprehensive and exciting than I thought it would be. The modulation routing is very exciting.

Artifacts on Soundcloud/128kbps MP3

So a couple songs of mine have persistent and annoying artifacts when uploaded to Soundcloud. Soundcloud compresses files to 128kbps MP3 or a very close equivalent. I'm looking for help in getting rid of them. Here's what I know so far: 1. The artifacts are not being introduced during the mastering ...

I would be very happy if this were to end up being true, but a few words of caution: 1. This is basically an unsourced rumor, even if they say they have a reliable source 2.

Re: Blamsoft and eXode present VK-2 Viking Synthesizer

Personally, I think Legend sounds a lot better than VK-2, but on the other hand, VK-2 is more versatile, with much more comprehensive modulation options. So it really depends on what you are looking for.

Re: Pros & cons of rewire and why you like/dislike it.

Rewire was cool years ago but not being able to use reasons instruments like a native VST instrument is to cumbersome. (Broken record watch out) Would be nice to use VST's in reason or use reason like a VST instrument in other DAWS. You sort of can use Reason instruments like VSTs. In Logic you jus...

Re: Pros & cons of rewire and why you like/dislike it.

I use rewire with Logic sometimes. Unless you are using really CPU-heavy plugins, it works fine. More often I just prefer to work inside one or the other DAW, though. It's about 50/50 at this point. I have two albums coming out this year, one of which is 100% Reason and the other of which is 100% Lo...

Re: Blamsoft and eXode present VK-2 Viking Synthesizer

Man, this thing is brutal on the CPU--only 4 instances before I started to get glitching and the dreaded "computer too slow" message. For comparison's sake, I can do 6 instances of Expanse before the same thing starts.

Re: Blamsoft and eXode VK-2 Viking Synthesizer Song Challenge

I'm always a bit confused by the wording of the rules. Can drum samples from a commercial refill be used, or not? (A commercial refill is not an external plugin but it's also not the FSB.)

Some Logic library patches have limiters on them, others have multiband compressors. Presets for the bundled audio units (Retro Synth, Alchemy, etc.) do not . No VST/AU synth that I own defaults with a limiter (or even compressor) on. Can't speak to the ones I don't own, or haven't used, but I've ne...
