Man, you fellas are stubborn!!

Same, I have nothing against ScottyM either and I think he's a bit of a character. I just think this thread should be in the Kitchen. Well, it is about Reason and it's GUI. I realize Scotty's designs might be controversial but this is still on topic and not breaking any rules. Fair enough, you're t...

Is this thread better placed in the kitchen? It is a bit of an irrelevance. I usually visit the general and the RE sub-forums for 'useful' information and not pisstake threads.

One thing I really miss to see the sequence running and know what notes are playing. Is there a way to indicate this by flashing the little circles on the notes? That's a good idea. I think visual it would help the mind understand where in the pastern you are! Yup, good idea indeed. I think this ma...

And true to form with RP REs, RPverb has a truck load of well indexed patches. They're good like that

I gather DJ Pierre is a Reason user. Wonder if he's going to enter the competition?

Rightyo, well there you go, I don't have an effing clue. For some reason, I always thought to myself that when I brought the threshold slider down too far it got distorted at a faster rate or did something different than if I just boosted the incoming volume using Gain a bit and bring down the slide...

Selig, to be honest, I wouldn't have a clue how much headroom I have as I generally tinker about in Reason with the limiter on for that instant goodness. I know it's not the correct way and I'm doing it all wrong. But with a Gain just before Ozone, I can nudge the input volume up a bit to get more o...

I stick Ozone after the master output with a Gain just before it to boost input volume as I mix with so much headroom I can't even trigger the bloody thing. I only started sticking Ozone after the master output after I saw a post from Selig in relation to wiring up for master bus side-chain compress...

Theo, regarding time zones, I'm in NZ and I don't have any issues with Authorizer for what it's worth.

Thanks Noel for clarifying my earlier query.

Ha, it's not about being boring, it's more ignorance with sound design. But it's probably as good a time as any to experiment and learn how a 'bass' synth can create a range of sounds. I hear ya. But the results will probably be an ear sore

That was my initial assumption to, NNXT was off the table, but it's worth asking. I'm only after sounds to fit in the background with the focus still being well and truely on ABL3.

Yeah, I understand the point of the comp and Benedict has proven something to me. Ok, so the way I read it, it's ok to stick a whole heap of effects on ABL3 to create a weird noise (pad'ish sound), bounce a small snippet to sample, and then reload it in nnxt to create chords?

Well f**k me, how did you squeeze those sounds out of ABL3 Benedict? Is this some kind of sorcery? I think I need to think outside the box a bit. Nice track man.

Are people 'recording their own' instruments for tracks? I've read the rules 10 times to see if I'm missing something but basically we can't use 'any' other synth for pads or use sampled pianos (nnxt). I know this is the case but I just don't want to believe it as it means I'm out as I don't own a p...

Nice mbfrancis, you really know how to write catchy choons. This is really good (again). I like the matrix synth line a lot! Only thing I'd do is whack an 'in your face' 4 to the floor open hi-hat for some of the sections, chorus? Like in Two Door Cinema Clubs track. Just bring it in and out along t...

Whoa, fat ass beats and that solid bass line on the Julianna McDuffie track was heavy. Nice production!

Is there a way to 'go back to shopping' after downloading an RE from the shop? Clicking back on the browser 3 times or whatever seems a bit clunky.

I'm as OCD as the next guy, but I'm sure I wouldn't even blink an eyelid if I saw a flat RE amongst pseudo shaded REs and stock devices in the rack. Reason is already so vibrant and visually chaotic (when compared with say Ableton) that I don't think it would actually bother me if I'm honest.

Great little tune this! I really liked the uptempo section. I didn't want it to stop. I know it's too late, but I'd have really liked that uptempo section to have kept going right to the end and in doing so it wouldn't have been sandwiched between two slow tempo sections and stick out so much. When ...

Yeah choc did a great job and thanks for taking the reins now Noel. Always kept a close eye on that thread by choc. It was well presented and you could see the effort that went into it. I don't know my way around FM synths. Is FM4 good for bass?

That's a nice touch

Cool. I was listening to a house track just this morning that used this kind of effect and I wished I knew an easy way to do it.

Thanks Joshua
