Re: Argonaut Synthesizer is in the shop

No, no, no. You didn't offend me but my defensive reaction is that we have very few developers who keep the toys coming and i think petty complaints run them away as a "you can't satisfy everybody" or i tried and I'm done" attitude. How many developers have one or two rack extensions in the shop. H...

Re: Argonaut Synthesizer is in the shop

what's the main appeal of this? the only unique thing I see is the "mangle" knob, which I'm guessing is a distortion/waveshaper? but not a very flexible one? Skrock's business model definitely seems to be quantity over quality. I'm really not a fan, but if there's other people who get inspiration o...

Re: SERUM synthesizer

so I don't have Expanse, but I tried this test with Antidote and Zero. results are below. looks like Zero is the best for this particular aliasing and high-end test. since Blamsoft also makes Expanse, I can only assume that is just as clean!

Re: SERUM synthesizer

AFAIK, you can't computer infinite harmonics, so a high cut is always done. Should also be present in Thor, but, maybe it's at a higher frequency. What some synths also do, when they feature unison on oscillator level, is that there is a pitch dependant high cut. Urs from u-he explains it here: htt...

Re: Fresh Mixfood Orange V2 !

i think it looks more fun and unique than it did before. i can see why people wouldn't like it, but i don't really have an aversion to bright colors that much. as long as the entire DAW doesn't become orange I'm good.

Re: Red Rock Sound extensions on sale

I also like the 202 Exciter. to me, any exciter gets harsh if you use it improperly. but it's fine for adding a slight tinge of brightness that can't be achieved with just EQ.

Re: What do you think about this? (about Parsec 2)

By the way, I'm still wondering if there is another update of Parsec in the making with sample/wavetable loading. This would be very nice. As I understand it, and I could be wrong here, Parsec is neither a sample nor a wavetable based synth. It's additive, using sine waves to build waveforms. So I ...

Re: Reason Sound Quality

I don't think Reason has any particular sound. It's just that to get a big sound with Reason you have to work way more hard to get it right while in most other daw's you get some big sounds directly out of the box. That's i think a reason too why most people are turning their back to Reason and thi...

Re: Does the free Wbl3001 Dispositif Pour Contact Premier RE only work in a combinator?

Right click the device 'create track for Wbl3001' and then use your MIDI / sequencer lane to pug in notes It's an "instrument" though that has a track created when it itself is created. Works right out of the box. So not sure what the problem is here... ok. apparently this isn't what i'm thinking i...

Re: Making tracks louder

Well, at 1:02 we see a main mixer peaking at above 0db. The section from 3:24 to 4:01 then talks about bit depth, and I'm not sure whether this invalidates some of what was discussed earlier in this thread. If Reason has this "64 bits" capability that he talks about (around 4:11), then why aim to c...

Re: POLL: What Version are you using in March 2017 ?

still on Reason 8. I was actually excited for 9 and even voted that I would buy it in a poll, but once it actually released my hype died down. and at this point I now feel like I should wait for 10 and buy both at once (first time doing that since I joined at Reason 6)

I've done a lot of back and forth comparisons, and IMO Ozone is the best for preserving the source material while getting more loudness out of it. at least based on what I make.

maybe like 5% tops. there's a lot of cheesy sounding patches in the default FSB. I can't speak for Reason 9 cause I haven't heard them since the beta, but I remember them being better.
