Re: "Black Friday Week" sales have begun in the Reason shop!

(...)I expected that. RS seperated the two by their feature set / parameter set although both share the same synthesis technique. From RS point of view it is best to sell both instead of just one. :puf_smile: More or less like that. The thing with phisical modelling on instruments, is that you mode...

Re: "Black Friday Week" sales have begun in the Reason shop!

To stay in budget I have to choose: - Do I get Friktion Modeled Strings -- EUR 54,00 -- though I already have Objekt Modeling Synthesizer? (...) Friktion and Objekt are different things. Friktion emulates frictioned string instruments, like violins and cellos, though it's a pretty versatile instrum...

Re: Reason Suite 11 License for sale

I would sell for 199 Euros. Sorry the euro is low currently. Just got registered for this forum. I've been on an old version of Reason for a long time, also been on extended hiatus from producing music for many years. I've been shopping for a discounted v.11 full suite license. I will check back he...

DSP is not CPU.
Agreed, and those 35% might also not be accurate.
If on preferences he has reason in single CPU mode, in fact the cpu core allotted to reason might be at 80+%.

Now that many manufacturers are offering samples, Reason Studios has jumped on the bandwagon.
There is splice, there are producer loops etc etc.
Really? Reason has samples/samplers inside it since it's inception and you feel its only now jumped the bandwagon????

Re: Do you use parallel processing in your mixing?

Most of what Sheppps is doing the last 15 years is mixing very hard styles so a lot of these techniques can be wrongly applied in a lot of the stuff i do.

I don't have steerpike but i don't think they are the same. They are completely different, Steerpike is a multitap delay with separate delay lines. I didn't get it before because I already had Le Space, not realizing that Le Space is more aimed at creating experimental spaces with delay lines. Mayb...

Re: was i dreaming or was this rack extension real ?

To be fair Radical Piano is/was marketed to be “natural sounding” and for that it fails more than it succeeds, particularly in the middle to higher octaves…Perhaps it’s a piano player thing. I share that with mcatalao Great if you intentionally want something more Lo-fi sounding though. As far as t...

Re: Am I the only one who doesn’t write, arrange, produce, mix, master in a specific order?

I think the order is more important if you are working with other people, so if you have someone mixing and another engineer mastering, you can't do mixing stuff while editing midi or recording your stuff. Still if I do everything, despite sometimes going front and back i prefer to have a process wh...

Well, it has sympatethic resonance and realistic hammer action, but the problem is the tone is crap. It was a failed opportunity imho.

Re: (Acoustic/pop instrumental) Meet me at the midland [draft]

Hi.

I can't listen a melody and the harmony is always the same. To my you have a good mix, but a really incomplete song (no melody, no separation between sections, no harmonical or rhythmic variation).

You can/should develop this into a song and repost.

Cheers,
