Re: Help with time signatures please

That's odd. When you change the project time signature in the transport the sequencer should change too, but i the arranger (the main sequencer), it is not that visible. Try to change the grid to 1/8th and check if you have 6 quavers in each bar. Anyhow when you change the division from 4 to 8, you ...

Re: Any way for Reason to record Stereo Mix/What You Hear and/or use Integrated Mic as input source?

I got feedback once (a few years ago, so my previous setup) and decided to sample it and use it in the song I was working on. I avoid unexpected feedback by not using automatic monitoring mode. Tip for your setup - connect Control Room output to the Sample Inputs; you don’t need a spider, you get t...

Re: Way to bounce mix channels WITH sends/returns per channel?

I'm pretty sure Reason can't do this automatically. Lucky for me I would never use this feature, but the world is a big place and somebody somewhere needs to do just this (not just you). This use case really appals me too. If you're exporting inserts and sends per channel that means you're exportin...

Ok, I guess it depends on what you call the "stereo mix", the audio coming out or Reason or any audio from the computer including web pages/YouTube.

Can you explain exactly what you mean by "record What You Hear/Stereo Mix", because i'm a bit at lost here...

Reason allows you to select any source your audio card exposes in it's driver, and every audio you want to record with reason has to pass through it (even internal audio).

Re: Good Speaker Monitoring for Mix and Mastering or Sound designing

If I can hear the entire spectrum, my system will reproduce the entire spectrum. Seems logical to me. But I see problems like this before I hear them, because in order to properly perceive the low frequencies you have to listen very loudly. But my goal is always that the things I do work on every s...

Re: Do you get a lot of use out of the Reason players?

Players can absolutely help you through a spell of writer's block. I challenge you to start using the Players you have. I have so much fun stacking them and routing them (via MIDI CV Conv). I agree with your feelings about Delta. It is such a powerful tool. On thing that has helped me a bit is the ...

Re: Good Speaker Monitoring for Mix and Mastering or Sound designing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqfPx8peqNI I hear the entire spectrum. But I actually never work below 80. And in my opinion, if there's a lot of energy below 120, it's not good for the whole mix. But I also have a tendency to overdo the volume in the high mids because I have bad old rock and roll...

Re: Almost all my songs are audibly clipping, what am I missing?

In that case we agree, although I see this argument as academic, because there's no point to have signal on master other than to hear it or export it to file. The peak & VU meters measure the output, not the signal "inside" of master. Actually, if you think about some audio cards, the difference be...

Re: Control Surface customisation

Mapping to Port B did work, but thanks for the advice. Akai natively allows you to send signals on two channels so by just editing the preset I can send the signals to two different rack devices. Locking the MPD to the Master Section works but it’s still a bit of a hack. Ultimately I think I’m stym...
