Nice work, that's a clever concept and great-looking cover!

Thank you!

Btw,
I did play it

Hi, thought you might be interested in some early album cover concepts intended for a future release of mine. I wanted something to illustrate its themes of AI/sentience/etc. (album title is Sentient Life ). It has quite pronounced elements of Synthwave. I thought Reason's sequencer would make an in...

I would go with the quad core first

Cheers Aquila. After finding some time - a premium this end - to read the comparisons, I'm doing exactly that. It'll certainly be a shock to my writing process to have more than 5 tracks to work with! CANNOT WAIT

Ah, just found this:

I guess that answers my question

I have some cash to spend on a laptop and wondering which of the aforementioned will drive Reason 10 better? I'm not the best informed, so any advice is welcome

turn off hyper threading

Hi Mattias,
Off in Reason's preferences, or in a computer's BIOS?

Thanks

Thanks for your reply. After executing a few more hardware diagnostic checks today, I've come to the realisation that my CPU is overheating - Windows log and Speedfan confirmed this as a thermal (kernel 86) issue. Internal fan is clean also (I use an additional external fan). Reason and various othe...

Update: WC gets as far as the "preparing online installer" message and bam, my comp shuts down. Any help would be very much appreciated

+ I did a clean install of Win 7 and even upgraded to Win 10 (was going to eventually) thinking that would somehow solve the issue. All my drivers are up-to-date

Hi, Anyone encountering a computer crash trying to install/activate plugs via Waves Central? I've tried numerous times uninstalling/installing the app, and following all the troubleshooting options on their website (deleting folders/disabling anti-vrus and firewalls/deleting all waveshells/installin...

Anyone managed to run Reason in Linux? I'm very interested if you have

Sounds good, let me work with you lol. By no means am I trying to discourage anyone. I'm a system builder and work in IT. What kind of tracks do you work with most? Audio/samplers or software synths? Do you use lots of effects? SSD is not going to drastically help with either tbh but it may help wi...

Seriously, limitations are probably why I actually seem to finish things these days, and not tweak like a madman to all hours (like I used to). My old drive rattles from years of abuse and now induces bouts of paranoia (thus, I backup regularly). Time for change. If I get some improvement in perform...

Cut the yappering, gordamnit, I need a bigger track count. Just fkg tell me how to do it, alright?

Cheers mate, I've just read that and will probably go for the Samsung 850 EVO 250GB internal SSD (within my price and I don't need a huge amount of storage) You should really look into over provisioning; it essentially suggests you allocate like 40% of your overall drive space to over provisioning....

I'm guessing it's either SATA 1 (1.5g/s), SATA 2 (3g/s) as it was manu. 2010. Is there a way I can check that on Win7? If I buy a SATA 3, I'm guessing it would be backwards compatible but bottle-necked(?) Cheers It doesn't matter. Regardless of the bus, the performance gain will be amazing compared...

Bax have it for £89, but I think there's a delivery charge also

Check your throughput on the 1st, 2nd drive. If your unlucky it's 3G/s vs a 6G/s, and unchangeable. This is the case for any thing earlier than 2011 (2nd) for sure ( cut off year for 6G/s standard - MBP, anyway) If it's 3, then you're better of upgrading the laptop for speed there is important. 6 v...

I don't know what kind of rig you're running but I chucked a 2Tb Crucial SSD into my 2012 MBP months ago and the things purring like a kitten.

Nice. Mine will probably creak

OP, what are the specs of your laptop? I highly recommend SSD’s for music production. My MacBook Pro has 2 SSD’s in it (one for the system drive, a second in place of the DVD drive for sample libraries). Don’t do the external idea, but upgrade your internal to an SSD and put Reason on there. Depend...

It's literally a waste of money if you're doing an external. That said, switching out your internal with an SSD isn't hard at all, usually. You can even image your drive so you don't have to reinstall everything (including your OS). Yep, I'm going to install an internal next week and clone anything...

Any ssd recommendations? I was thinking 250gb, or even 500gb
