Impulse response loader Rack Extension

I don't like RV7000 for IR, done some tests and it seems that it has low resolution in applying a frequency response.
Is there any good RE (with no, or very low latency) that can load IR?

Re: Reason 10 performance / Ram Ddr Go

Hi Riko! As far as I know, adding another 16 GB ram will not not make Reason faster :( I recommend upgrading the CPU (and suitable motherboard for the new CPU). Get the best CPU from INTEL you can afford if you want to record with low latency and more FX than 7700 can handle. You can get some info f...

Mega ! So its time to make complex V3 Kategra :)
Hahaha, and some other members suggested that the Complex is too demanding on the CPU! It only took 7 months for the "benchmark" to be maxed out by a desktop CPU (although, an expensive one) :)))

Re: Disk Access Stress Test

Moved the file to SSD (super fast, it was transferred from cached RAM, the utilization of the slow 2.5" HDD was 0% during the transfer) , rebooted, loaded song in Reason plays all tracks 1st try with low SSD utilization.

Re: Disk Access Stress Test

Cool song and amazing to see all the tracks! Thanks so much for sharing, I hope no rights were violated :)

Had no issues, it seems that the all the audio streams were loaded into RAM as I saw no HDD activity while playing the song.

It's so annoying that I can barley fellow the Grain presentation when Grain is being played- it's crackling and clicking. I noticed both on Facebook and YouTube!

Re: How come no RE for scratching??

Neither Vinylizer nor Grain seem to allow complete control of play direction, speed and acceleration.
I'll trial Vinylizer, but so far it looks like a toy scratch with wet/dry control..

Re: AMD ryzen 1700 any experiences?

I had an 1700x that I replaced with i7 6800k which is considerably better for Reason. You can search this forum, there are 2 benchmark threads for Reason and you can get some info from there too. https://forum.reasontalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7501402 https://forum.reasontalk.com/viewtopic.php?t=72...

Re: Reason 9.5 & above CPU Stress Tests (2017, two different songfiles included)!

whats weird is that task manager never shows utilization above 49%, even when i remove the CPU usage limit. I don't think reason 9.5 is optimized for more than 4 cores R7 1700 has 8 cores physical and 16 threads. Windows task manager reports the load percentage for the 16 threads (logic cores), but...
