Re: How many delay pedals does a guitarist need?
funny enough, I could probably do with fewer delays. most of my band's (and my own) arrangements are too busy, to the point where I find delay is either not necessary, or in some cases detrimental. I used to use a Vox DelayLab on my pedalboard, which was freaking fantastic, but now do most of my pro...

Re: Out Beyond the Seawall - post-downtempo/rock/idk
oh wow, thank you all for the incredibly kind words! I think that’s the first time anyone’s said they wish one of my songs was *longer*!
and thank you so much for buying the track, Noise—that made my day!

Re: Out Beyond the Seawall - post-downtempo/rock/idk
Wow, very strong Tears for Fears vibe. I like it a lot and really enjoyed listening. Mix sounds very well balanced. Going to listen some more :puf_smile: thank you! you’re probably the 4th or 5th person who’ve mentioned Tears for Fears, which is really cool, because I come from a rockier background...

Re: best vocal booth on a budget?
I'm with Selig--a vocal "booth" is a huge audio turn-off for me. every time I've tried something like that, it's sounded awful, and very unnatural--you then have to compensate for it in the mix by adding some ambience to keep it from sounding like you recorded in the void of deep space. I find that ...

Re: What makes Reason a great “Idea Starter”?
so for me, even if I accepted the “idea starter” premise, there’d still always be that little nagging voice at the back of my head warning that for as much fun as it all is, there’s something ahead that’s gonna suck—and that impacts my ability to create much more than an otherwise-inspiring piece o...

Re: What makes Reason a great “Idea Starter”?
Now pretty much none of these things except for (maybe auto punch and locators) applies to the idea stage, but none of them would necessarily get in my way either. Or would they? Could it be that all of these ‘big studio’ features, if added to Reason, would somehow take away from my feelings about ...

Re: What makes Reason a great “Idea Starter”?
I've searched the great web and cannot find a comparison video that actually shows how the other DAW's are better. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I mean - it’s all going to be subjective anyway. There’s a plethora of reasons why other (more popular) DAW are “better”, but most of...

Re: What makes Reason a great “Idea Starter”?
If Reason isn't fired up I also have my phone memo at hand, as well as the keyboard mixer's built in SD Card recorder which has 'saved' many in idea from obscurity. For all but the simplest chord progression or melody I need to record it - paper and pencil IS sometimes used, but is often even more ...

Do you use Reason as an idea starter? Or is it your main DAW? Just RRP in another DAW?

Re: Keyboard amp?

Re: What makes Reason a great “Idea Starter”?
it makes it easier to think the tools we choose are more important than they actually are in the creative process, and makes it easier to try to blame our own creative failures on tools that don’t live up, rather than taking responsibility when we’re struggling. R12 was the greatest idea starter fo...

Re: What makes Reason a great “Idea Starter”?
there’s an old adage that says a good craftsman never blames their tools. yeah. OK, point taken - but this thread is about folks who use Reason as an “idea starter”, so it starts with the assumption that tools are used (if not needed) be that pen/paper or music creation software. From there we disc...

Re: What makes Reason a great “Idea Starter”?
to put that more succinctly—creativity is never about the tools, it’s always about the creator. I see this parroted a lot, and frankly - it's a load a shit IMHO. Obviously the creator has a lot to do with it, but the tools absolutely can have a massive effect on just how inspired you are to create ...

we trick ourselves into thinking our DAW of choice is the best at generating ideas, instead of just being the best choice for our way of working.

Re: What makes Reason a great “Idea Starter”?
at the end of the day, workflow is king, and Reason’s workflow may work better for certain genres—for those who care about such things—but the thought that it’s better than anything else at helping with “ideas” is just marketing. Is it JUST marketing if it is true for me? Reason IS better than anyt...

I hope there aren’t too many people jumping straight into buying a Push 3, AND Ableton right out of the gate. I’d imagine most of those buying already have the version of Ableton they want. the analog to Push 2 (i.e. not standalone) is $1k, which is still a lot, but seems reasonable, given the featu...

What makes Reason a great “Idea Starter”? Ease of use. And what is the difference between a full blown DAW and a creative “idea starter”? A full blown DAW gets you "further".
