Good morning.. Yes for sure, since I got it I have not used the Reason Bass refill. And seen as it is currently less than half the price I paid for it originally it is an absolute no-brainer! 20 bucks well spent if you use real bass guitars. Wow, that's impressive because the Reason Bass looks supe...

Interesting! Do you use it regularly? Is it as good or better than the Props bass refill?

I'm definitely considering grabbing the Reason Electric Bass ReFill while it's on sale. I'm sure many of you have used it for years or tried it before - what are your thoughts? I've been happy before with the Reason Piano and Drum Kits refills, so I'm wondering if it's as good. Do you feel it's an e...

I'm enjoying a lot of Reason's audio comping features, but one that has become a huge nuisance is that it seems you can't color or label individual takes separately from the parent clip. Is this true? I'm used to using Logic for comping, and you can make each take a different color (even independent...

If you save the Combi you can load it into the insert intact. If it's an instrument, you will need to patch the inputs of the Combi into something - anything (like a Spider that's not patched to anything). This will "fool" the insert into allowing it to be added. You'll not have a Combi "note" trac...

I'm a newbie with Combinators, so I've just been using some prebuilt Combi instruments lately (e.g. an NN-XT keyboard combi'd with compression, reverb, and delay) and after recording the desired MIDI part for one, I wanted to go about cleaning up the rack. It's pretty standard for me to move any giv...

When I use loops to accentuate drum parts from a Redrum, I usually just use the stereo out of the OctoRex; although occasionally I will find every snare and kick slice and send those to individual outs for their own processing. Yeah same here, which makes me tend to avoid using rex loops. Stereo ou...

Great info @Abstrax, thanks for including that link and excerpt.

I've always heard that a common method is 1) EQ (cut) > 2) Compression > 3) EQ (boost/shape/cut) with #1 being optional and used to prevent unwanted frequencies from triggering the compressor and being amplified by it.

This is a huge help, thanks! And the make-up gain is not editable, correct? If not I'll just insert an instance of Selig Gain to get levels where I need them

I'm a newbie mixing with the SSL (which is pretty enjoyable) but I'm a bit confused about the meter in the dynamics section. Supposedly the meter lights up when the compressor is actively applying compression, but it I can hear it working well before the lowest yellow light is lit. Is that correct? ...

Thanks for all the input. I'm leaning towards Method A with the SSL, though at some point I imagine I'll try B just to see how it works out. Question about the SSL: when mixing with it, is it common for you to use only its built-in FX (comp/EQ/filters) and very few inserts on individual instruments ...

MannequinRaces wrote:A for sure. Ever since the SSL was added to Reason I have not used method B.

Is that because of workflow preference or because of the SSL's sound? Or both?

I'm new to mixing in Reason, so I had a question for everyone about drum routing, which probably just comes down to preference and workflow. When using Redrum/Kong, do you typically: A) send the individual drum samples directly into their own mixer SSL channels, add insert FX to each of those channe...

Question about MClass EQ (and really any of the MClass FX): why aren't there any presets for it included? Or are there and I'm just a blind fool? :lol: Whenever I'm getting a rough mix together, especially in the early production phases (e.g. still just working on the beat), I like to drop FX in wit...

yup same here, it was working like 45 minutes ago. annoying!

Thanks for the responses everyone! Glad to know I'm not alone in my frustration :) Yeah the huge amount of space is just too much of a trade-off for me, especially when I want to be able to save so many iterations and use reference tracks in my project when mixing. (Aside from my existing tracks, im...

Reason audio recordings are always saved inside of the project file, right? There's no way to switch from saving them in the "locked" project file to saving them in a separate assets folder (like Logic), so that the size of the project file remains small and the audio recordings aren't duplicated wi...

yeah I've basically been using A-List power & acoustic as backing rhythm guitars spread wide in the mix and then will record electric lead myself. I'm liking how it's worked out, so looking forward to the pop collection. by the way in the Props email yesterday they announced the Black Friday sale on...

Hmm, tempted to pick this up, but it's pricey compared to the 4th of July sale on the other two A-Lists (got them both for $78 total!)

Anyone familiar with the shop deals know when a sale on this might happen?

I've always found the each person uses a different set of colors from the crayon box. There are some that are more commonly used than others, but one man's ugly crayons are anthers favorites. Totally! It's just after having used Reason via Rewire for so many years and producing/mixing most of the t...

The entire top two-thirds of the old color dropdown are like the ugly crayons no one wants.

Thank god I can stop using Moss Green and Ochre just because I ran out of good colors 

This is hugely useful, and as important to me as the new colors in R8.2 itself!    :t2018:

Back in business, thanks!

Ok glad it's not just me. Hopefully they get it fixed soon, I'm using a RE trial and my hands are a bit tied without it 

Is anyone else unable to connect to the Props site (https://propellerheads.se), both via browser and Reason (for authorization)?

I've been up all night working and this must have just started about 20-30 minutes ago.
