Thanks Selig, I'm at that stage where I'm learning how to set up mixes so your advice is invaluable. I think I'll have a play around with a pre-Gain, compressor and post-Gain chain and shoot for -12 to see if some pennies drop.

I have a Q. Is it sensible to stick a Gain before and after a compressor and match up the numbers on the pre/post Gains? Thanks.

+1

A truly fantastic effort, it's unreal how seemless and quick it was

Great effort getting it back online so quickly, well done boys.

One small bug, a few people including myself had/have Dave909 profile avatars upon set up.

Not a biggie really.

Cool, thanks heaps Kov! I'll try this out. I was really impressed with how clear and heavy the low freqs were. No doubt good compression/mastering to. Good work man, nice bouncy techno.

Thanks Hamu, I appreciate your cool calm head and willingness to converse with A-holes like me that give/gave your GUI a hard time. I meant what I said about the dark purple, it really has grown on me and I've also come to appreciate your subtle cheekiness as well :) At first I didn't understand you...

Very nice low end Kov, solid as! What did you use for the kick? Agree the high end was a bit harsh on the ears using headphones but I listened to it very LOUD so I could get the full benefit of the low freqs.

I'll put my hand up. I gave the original dark purple Hamu devices a hard time. But now when I look at them, I don't mind them, and I actually think they look (shock horror) good. Sorry Hamu, my bad. The new updated bright pink/purple versions are fricken heinous though. I'd buy a bundle as they're v...

"Kiwi" refers to New Zealanders???? *Googles* Oh lordy, I thought it was slang for an Aussie. My bad! Like how "Canucks" is slang for 'Mericans? Technically true. Canada is in North America. There are many countries is North and South America. Meaning there are many 'Mericans ;) And all you guys kn...

I do it like how jam-s says. Kick parallel output to 3-4 spiders and hook those up to any number of instrument dynamic inputs. Issue is, when the kick stops, so does the side-chain key input and bass or pad (for example) can get louder or change rhythmically all of a sudden if heavily pumped. So I s...

JP (not Ammo though), Selig, Softube, Oberon, Quadelectra Mercury, Synapse GQ7, ABL3 (not ABL2), Punch-BD, Robotic Bean, Parsec. When I think about it, I prefer a relatively neutral background (black/white) with splashes of colour provided by screens, knobs, panel trim, etc. I prefer crisp understat...

Yeah, we get on well enough off the sports field to not need seperate forums, right?

I reckon the current number of sub forums is just right. If there's too many people may miss out on some good stuff because they don't have the time or inclination to trawl through them all. I voted stay, but the more I read about the money and poor service issues the more it sounds like a fair reas...

Same here, I'm buying straight off the bat. Good work pbc278, I like your style.

A Guy Called Gerald and DJ Pierre use Reason. Legends.

Alan Fitzpatrick thinks R8 is GR8

I used to think Reason had a slightly muffled sound then it dawned on me, I was just shit at producing :-( Classic! :) So true and I'm the same. It's taken me 5 years to learn some basics and I'm still shit at it. Still, we graft and keep moving onwards and upwards and every time a small penny drop...

Awesome track jp. I went off trance way back when it became a bit cheesy but this has a vibe to it that is the real deal. I really like the bpm you've used as it gives it a groove that a lot of fast trance lacks. And adding the elements at the end was a very nice touch.

Good work man

Do you mean, just turning the preview volume slider down to off? That's what I do anyway. That extra click never keeps me up at night with worry but I know some measure successful work flow in +/- 1 clicks.

Nah I mean literally shows up! Glitchy as all heck. Maybe it's those pesky mice.

Is it just me, but is this fricken naysayer thread showing up on all other threads you look at for anyone else? (in mobile version). It's a pain in the ass.

And the knobs and buttons on the combinator are a bit limiting for complex fx/instruments. And often the FSB or refill combinators are so convoluted with the wiring that it's difficult to know what you're changing if you delve into it. REs all the way. I seldom use combinators now other than to crea...

If R8.3 was the R8 release, do the naysayers on R7 think they may have upgraded sooner? Yeah zakalwe, I was also thinking PH may do that and milk R8.x for a while yet. Not out of spite obviously, but to show that it's worthwhile upgrading soon after major releases even if it's a perceived lack lustr...

I got R8 soon after it was released and I've been as happy as a clam ever since. In hindsight, I would've paid $129 for drag and drop alone given how much it's changed my Reason user experience for the better. Everything else was gravy. But I understand why some on R7 wouldn't want to commit to R8 r...
