There's a lot of discussion here about CPU performance. Something I have found eminently useful... and sometimes eye-opening... is the R12 option: [Options > Show CPU Load for Devices]. There's a vast difference in CPU usage amongst VST's (and even amongst RE's) that serve the same function. The abo...

Is vital compatible with reason? It is also a very good free option.

Vital is both VST2 & 3, works great in Reason

PreBOX Display-PreBOX.jpg AO-PreBOX.zip UPDATED (2022-08-24) - AO has released a new version of PreBOX (link below), and the combinator has been updated accordingly NOTE - Preamp labels on the combinator reflect actual hardware modelled (instead of AO's nomenclature on the VST) PreBOX VST available...

I use this often on ABL3. It's great! And of course I prefer RE over VST, but definitely check out the other GVST plugins. Agreed; I've used this for years. Great little utility clipper, low CPU, and handy as an RE. I use this mostly for clipping transients on individual tracks for loudness; does t...

Masterful. And generous of you to share, including all of the details in your posts. Thanks!

Agreed. RS prides itself (rightly so) on its devices always having an extra creative knob to turn. But this means basic utilities are missing. Need something like the M-Class devices for mix/track functions (ADSR, filter, wave-shaper, etc.).

It's an odd forum, whilst I expect a community in the interest of balance and fairness to openly criticise its own where it falls short, its always surprised me the sheer amount of negativity about the product here I have to agree. Constructive criticism is often derailed by sheer negativity, which...

Genius. Thanks!

I would have to say the Leveller is my favorite, with the ColoringEQ as a close second. Both do things that are still not available with any other product on any platform (which is always a goal for me), and is exactly why I created them in the first place. :) Indeed, there's nothing like the Level...

Added "PreBOX" to my original post.

EQ after compression is generally for tone. EQ before compression is a means to control frequency response of the compressor. But... There are really 1000 answers to your question. To narrow them to one: just think about what you are trying to achieve in each case. Does the sound even need compressi...

Gonna join in if you don´t mind :-) Possibly it might be best to put all Analog Obsession Combinator content into the first post and also change the thread title to Analog Obsession Combinators for a gathering thread in case it´s ok for you. Well I've only provided SPre (my original post), but Astr...

Actually the UI evolved naturally around its components. It started out with simple lines seperating the sections leading to the replacement by waves freeing up space for the ingredients and thus leading to the ocean scenery. I then aswell found it quite pleasant to work with because it appears to ...

EDIT 2: Ah, SPre is simply one dll of many, so I first have to install the according .dll

Yup, just a single dll. Did you get it to work?

I was about to post this seems like something Selig Gain would already do if it were valuable, when…

Indeed!

Beg to differ! Here's a better explanation :

Reason prides itself (rightly so) on its devices always having "an extra knob to twist". But as a result, it doesn't have basic devices to do basic tasks, like you list above. How many of us use Thor's filters, via the cables and mod-matrix? Reason has awesome filters throughout; why not a stand-alo...

Wouldnt it make more sense to allow setting the range and values yourself in those cases? If building a crossfader, neither actual value is at all useful, and neither is the 0-127 standard MIDI range (its not just for velocity, right?). Instead, it should read in percent 0-100 IMO. If you ever work...

You could also use multiple kongs to control fx routings

Highly recommend: Thorn synth, BlackBox (HG-2), Maag EQ4, Purple Audio MC77
