Just one thing...(maybe two...):

"What you may use in your song:

• Any Reason native and rack extension Effects and Utilities (no external plug-ins or hardware) "

Are Synchronous and Audiomatic considered as native? I have this cause PH give them free when I updated but this REs are still in the shop!

Question two: only one song for entrant?

Bye,
David

this track take me time , hope you enjoy this one .

[Faastwalker]

My effort here;



All sounds Oberon (including drums) with only stock devices used, no other RE's. A good bit of RV-7000 MK II & a little Echo. Didn't want to use too many effects or do too much processing. This was all about Oberon & it's sounds. Used mostly tweaked presets & a little of my own sounds.

[Reasonistas]

Are foley samples allowed? Samples like water textures I have recorded with my Zoom H4n.

I am better asking now before I'll get disqualified.

Yes, as long as it's not a "foley sample" of another synth....

Sweet And still got time to get a second entry in (that's allowed isn't it?).

[thotbott]

also a question here about samples. samplers of noise swooshes, like riser noise sweeps you would hear in a build up of a track, are they allowed, or do they count as synth sounds?

Yes, this is allowed as long as it is not coming from another synth in Reason.
