Re: High resolution Reason is here!

While my "the splash screen is rubbish" comment was totally glib and should be taken as such, I do think it's funny that there are people insisting that the splash screen isn't at all important in an update currently dedicated primarily to graphical improvements.

Re: High resolution Reason is here!

As a 1080p user I don't really stand to gain anything from the revamped graphics engine. If anything, my experience has been kind of worsened with increased RAM usage and cache delays, and that sort of sucks. BUT ! I don't want to be a Debbie Downer here - I think it's a great step in the right dire...

Re: Multi-timbral VST workarounds in Reason

It's been a while since I did this but no, I never used the Virus as my audio interface. In fact I don't think I've ever used the Virus as an audio interface! Yeah I've not used it as an audio interface either. I seem to have everything connected correctly within Element (as per your screenshots) L...

Re: Multi-timbral VST workarounds in Reason

Element is free now, if you wanted to try it out. I'm not even salty about paying for it because it's actually been incredibly useful to have as a sort-of plug-in Swiss Army Knife :) Hey Adam. For the Element workaround do you have to have the virus set as the main audio interface in Reason Prefs? ...

Re: Working Titles

Typical format for me is "ProjectName-VagueTrackName", so if it's sound design work it'll be "SoundDesign-BlahBlah", if it's a general idea then just "Idea-BlahBlah", band stuff is "BandName-BlahBlah", you get the idea. Typically the vague track name is a rough description of the track so I recognis...

Re: Is anyone still working at the 44.1khz sample rate?

I always tend to work at the same sample rate/bit depth as my intended release format. I'm working at 48khz as that's a pretty solid catch-all for all release formats I'm working toward these days. That said, I strongly doubt I'll be going higher than 48khz any time soon as I firmly believe digital ...

Re: What's the expectation for Track Folders

I'm fine with Reason adopting its own particular way of handling track folders - I think the key areas to look at are how it works in the mixer, how it works in the sequencer, and how it works when you're exporting stuff. I sort of feel like a neat, Reason-y way to handle it (i.e. without making thi...

Re: Reason 12 is coming!

^ Exactly. The reason why I've been working in Reason despite having objectively more fully featured alternatives is that the way all the parts work together is unique to the program. The way I can get any device to modulate any other device. Integrated pattern control and Player bouncing right the...

You can't work with video in Reason 11 without using 3rd party tools. I've used VidPlayVST successfully in the past, though even that can have varied results de...

Man that's a bummer (It also explains your Youtube hiatus, I guess). But i understand you, and tbh the lack of sequencer improvements for 12 is letting down too. In all fairness - my streaming hiatus has had more to do with being busy and/or not really feeling the inclination lately. The sequencer ...

Re: Komplete 13 Collector's Edition. Go for it or wait for 14?

GR6 is amazing. it’s got a huge, great-sounding stock of amps and cabs. I particularly love cranking up the mic distance from the speaker to get more room sound. and of course there are a ton of excellent effects too. Shame on me - I haven't even properly fired it up, yet! I picked up NeuralDSP's N...

I can really relate to your post. Making the leap from R10 to 12 with the latest deal made sense for me especially with a 3rd party offer. But I no longer see Reason as the all in one solution as I used to. So I've moved on. totally agree. I’ll always be optimistic and looking around that next corn...

Super-8 sits on Reaktor to open, so you can use it inside reason!

I love Kuassa's plug-ins, they've been a steady staple ever since they started making REs way back when (I still remember how nice it was to start using Vermillion and Creme as opposed to the old Line-6 amp in Reason!). Their amp sims are great but by far my most-used Kuassa plug-in right now is the...

Re: Batch applying tempo data to audio files

I've attached the Python 3 script in case anyone fancies a giggle. Giggles aside, it does not correct the chunk size field at file offset 4, the size should be increased by 36 (number of bytes inserted). That may be a problem with some application opening it, it can alert or simply chop the tail of...

Re: Batch applying tempo data to audio files

Just in case you missed it, do you update the total-size-of-chunks field at 0x04 in the file after the insert? Yeah, what I did wasn't particularly elegant - I basically just took the junk chunk from an exported Reason file (minus the final four bytes) and used that as a base, so all my script is d...
