Re: Zoom TAC-2R - Thunderbolt Audio Interface - $350

I have ancient Zoom H2 recorder, first edition. Still working, never had any issues, solid as brick.
I considered Zoom TAC but skipped that only because of lack of digital input.

Re: Mackbook Pro Configuration for Reason 10

I have the same MB Pro model - no way to improve. Trick with opening Reason in low-res mode doesn't work. The only way is to stick to other DAW, I switched to Studio One. Or wait for Reason code upgrade ;)

Re: Reason 10/9.5 differences, excluding content ?

You can download a demo version of R10. I did this, and compared to R9. R10 uses noticeably more CPU power/energy when the same demo song is played on both versions. I did so and have same experience. Plus: one Europa instance choked my computer (long evolving pad on Macbook Pro Retina 15 i7 2.2 gh...

Take it easy. I just demoed R10 and decided to pass it. Europa and Grain are not worth to upgrade, in my opinion of course.

Re: Reason's poor cpu performance

Could always bounce to audio, but that would create more work if you had to change a part. The DSP issue I think can and will be fixed, just a matter of when. Bounce to audio just renders audio file. Freeze is better, because you can still play frozen synth with keyboard or midi notes. I have Reaso...

Re: Please, somebody write a guitar looper rack extension.

So, I already own Ochen K's Repeat Rack Extenstion, but I've never really taken to it, as I find it's just not easy to set up for guitar looping. What I would really love to see is a implementation of the Boss RC series pedals (e.g. the RC-3, RC-30 or RC-300), or the Digitech Jamman Stereo pedal. S...

Re: Is Recycle Worth $99, if I have Reason 9?

I have ReCycle but didn't use it since I can make rex loop within Reason. I didn't even install ReCycle on my new computer, so no, it's not worth to take it for 99. Check second-hand market.
