Re: Key characteristics
It's really crazy that this big change happened, I would like to understand why it was deemed necessary, surely there was a usable system in place prior. Oddsound is very interesting, just that it is there shows there is a want for it. Not sure if you ever tried the MicroTune RE or if it is capable...

Re: How many monitors (Screens) do you think its optimal?
One big, hi-res monitor. I've tried two, that's awful, with the bezel in the middle as you said. Three is better because you can have one in the middle. But then the left and right are pretty far off, and you end up using the middle one for most everything. Now I have a 32" 4k monitor, and it suits ...

Re: Recycle 3.0 when?
Ok, back at the comp and I've checked this.You can only access the original non-stretched slice via Recycle. As a bounced sample dragged into the sequencer, it's got a tail and may as well have been destructively altered for practical purposes there. It's def clever stuff going on under the hood bu...

Re: Key characteristics
On the paragraph on top it's pretty brutal what is said about equal temperament, are we really working with an inferior tuning system that has far less characteristics than before? I guess this could be contrasted by comparing today's music and classical music from before equal temperament was esta...

Re: Recycle 3.0 when?
Anyway I’m not at my como so can’t check this but what happens if you load a Rex slice into the sequencer? I’d it stretched? If so is the sequencer also being told to do...what?

Re: Recycle 3.0 when?
But the way I use it, I wack the Recycle stretch way up on whatever sliced up sample, save it as a .rex file, load into NNXT for playback rather than Dr.Rex. You can hear that weird Recycle stretching being played back in NNXT which has no stretch capabilities, so I think there's something else goi...

Re: Recycle 3.0 when?
No, what I mean is that when you slice a sample up in Recycle you can set the stretch function to fill in and fade out each slice for very slow playback of the loop. This in't added afterwards during playback, it's actually altering each slice/sample and is fixed on exporting the REX file. It's a g...

Re: Rendering on GPU - interesting behavior
Behavior here: - When I open reason, during the splash screen, the Nvidia GPU is used by Reason - Once the software is open, GPU is not used, even if I move Faders or do other graphical stuff - But whenever a VST is in open and in front, GPU is used I'm actually surprised the splash screen uses the...

Re: Recycle 3.0 when?
Since Recycle was invented and updated there have been some pretty big leaps in stretch/pitch algorithms. I'll bet the stretch function could be given a serious polish by now. I'd love to see that actually. New stretch function dedicated to dealing with impact tails. The stretch is applied during p...

Re: Focusrite Consoles and Where they are Today (well, in 2014)
That was the first thing I ever bought from Plugin Alliance. Focusrite Pro still gives it away with any of their Red/ISA hardware. They must think it's a good enough emulation to have their name on it.

Focusrite Consoles and Where they are Today (well, in 2014)
I don't know why this video from almost 8 yeas ago was just shared on Twitter, but I hadn't seen it, so it was an interesting bit of history to see. In the mid-80s Focusrite built just 10 of their big studio mixing consoles. This is a concise documentary covering their origin, design, and where most...

Re: I miss the times when Reason started in less than 5secs
I was curious how Reason's start up time compared to the other two DAWs I use most often. Reason, from clicking the icon on the start menu until I can click devices in the browser: 7.4 seconds. Studio One, from clicking the icon until I can click New Song: 11.2 seconds Reaper, from clicking the icon...

Re: What items are not Automatable?
I'm confused by this statement, are you referring to kong only? It was a Kong-only example. Because Kong has a few controls that can be mapped in a Combinator, but don't have the option for an automation lane. You map the excluded control in the Combinator, and then automate the Combinator knob ins...

Re: "I use Reason" reaction
The other big draw back, is being able to lay that idea down quickly and build the song up, the arrangement. Reason is quick in some respects but things missing like linked clips and automation (say after duplicating a clip 20 times and then you decide you want a different chord at point A or a mel...

Re: What items are not Automatable?
I've always wondered how a Combinator gets access to some device controls outside the automation set. You can put a Kong in a Combi and compare the "Drum 1" sublist on the Kong automation list in the sequencer with that in the Combi programmer. A Combi has access to more controls somehow. Kong was ...

Here's how I pitched it over 10 years (!) ago: In the simplest form you drag the curve like automation curves. In any advanced form you add points like Europa envelopes. https://i.imgur.com/dye6168.png So the idea you came up with 10 years ago, and the one I came up with after about 10 minutes of t...

Re: What items are not Automatable?
An additional confirmation. The code that's added to a control to make it able to have an automation lane, also makes it so it can be mapped inside of a Combinator. They're one and the same. The only additional, separate property is a Remote name assignment. So controls get a automation/Combinator a...

Ten year challenge: asked for curves in the Combinator programmer ten years ago, still no solution today.

I'll pick that one up as well soon enough, I guess. You can't have enough of these tools. Trigater seems the perfect fit for the combinator I'm currently building, but Distributor making a polyphonic Complex-1, for example, is something I like to play with sometime.

Re: Bouncing in 32bit WAV
Thanks for that. I suspected as much after recently re-encountering an article explaining how and why floats can't represent 0.1. (The rest of you: You heard me. Look it up.) So a floating sample can't clip, but that doesn't mean there's no downside of letting amplitude approach "nuclear explosion"...
