Re: Why upgrade to 12? What am I missing?

RS are not taking anything back. While I am not a fan of the subversion model, it is not related directly to the straight purchase option - even if Reason DAW is common to both. Suite was abandoned as a product option (as it probably makes less sense with R+) but you own what you purchased forever -...

I note you never apologized at all but now demand that I lick your boots. There was no threat given, merely letting everyone know that if they insist on dragging me...

(Sleep Music) Melting Machine

I showed Morning Sparkle recently. This is the whole album. Play it softly https://youtu.be/1cwfHGHYbkY I know it says above that this is Sleep Music but let me be clear that this means that it is not EDM (or Metal). That makes it New Age (even tho I am darker than the average New Age) so movement i...

Re: Windows 11 update (with Reason 12)

Re: Which midi controller / keyboard?

I got a P6 fairly early on. My feeling are somewhat split: Reason integration was really good in that technically Reson could be run from the LCD screen alone. But they lost focus on Reason alone and now support is not as promised. I never really us that integration much at all. The biggest use I ha...

Re: Experiences and opinions of Behringer

I use a Behringer Ultravoice XM8500 dynamic mic which was about $45 Aussie so cheaper than Hipster chips. It does a great job and has been with me for well over 10 years.

Don't be a dill. R12 came out a month or so ago therefore is not outdated. Unless you are an eight-year-old, your childish attitude is well out of date.

Yes, just like you normally would except you send the MIDI to the Combi, making sure that the Combi contains a Rex with that loop loaded into the playing Slot.

Re: Combinator patch and Rex loop

I think we need to see what is happening here. It feels to me like you have not understood the nature of the instruments and/or system. If you send a Rex to MIDI, it will result in a somewhat scruffy flow of ascending notes. Kinda useless if you send them to a synth but if they are sent back to that...

As noted above I have to assume (wildly guessing based on "it always work for me") that while you believe that you are doing what the video says (or what it seems to say to you) in reality you may be doing something else. Assuming in signal flow is the enemy. As soon as this happens stop assuming (h...

R12 in many ways like Combi II which is a revolution in itself.

I have finally let R11 leave my drive and along with ...

Re: [TECH HOUSE] PARTY TONE

I like the main loop when it comes clear around 00:45. That grooves well. Rather than feeling that it builds with a lead or other hook, it seems to dissipate. It builds back up but I feel like there is not another layer to come - that thing that makes you feel like you go over the edge. To some exte...

Nothing wrong with showing the link for the VST, esp seeing it somewhat important o have it to make your Combi function. I must say I prefer your GUI over theirs.

Feedback as requested: my first feeling is that the Kik is not connected to the piece so I feel like there is this really forward, intrusive even, Kik and some stuff behind it.

There is not necessarily any need to even have another Mix Channel here as this can be done within the Insert box of the vocal track.
