That makes me question the people mixing. Granted, I actually agree that some DAWs have better stock plugins for mixing. It's one of the Reason's I started using Studio One, but Reason wasn't originally created as a "mixing platform". That changed a bit with Record, but the reason you haven't heard a great mix out of Reason (that you know of) is probably because you just haven't come across one. How would you know what someone used to mix unless they told you right? You mentioned the propellerhead mixes earlier, keep in mind that Youtube mangles the sound, but the videos they do aren't mixed with the intent of release. I've heard licensed songs on commercials that don't have the best mixes.Tryggvasson wrote: ↑11 Dec 2017Maybe i wasn't very clear in my explanation. EVERY SINGLE MIX I heard in Reason sounds like crap. Probably dozens, if not hundreds. Maybe that identifies it enough.
Nonetheless all of this is irrelevant no? In every DAW no ones sticks to the stock fx anyway. You have access to both VSTs and REs to add as you please so now, there's no excuse for not being able to get a good mix in Reason outside of one's own ability. Hence this "Reason sound" conversation is just silly at this point.
