Hi!
In the past, through the different forums I peruse, and on You Tube videos, I have heard people say that Reason has a sound, they make it seem as if it's lacking in some way, the reason sound. I have had this thought in my mind whilst I've been working on Reason since I heard someone say it probably about a year ago. On occasion (I only mix through KRK 20/20 headphones if this has anything to do with it, as I can't afford professional 20/20 monitors yet) I have noticed (I think) that the sound sounds thin sometimes. Just been auditioning patches on Thor for an additional poly chord pattern over the top of a piano, bass and drums, and had the same issue arose. Somehow the sounds I was going through lacked something. Why? They didn't seem thick and yeah, well, lacked WOW! in their texture or fullness. The sounds in themselves sounded good, but not like Synlenth or the Korg M1 or Mono/Poly something. Is this what they were talking about? or is there something I need to be doing perhaps? duplicate and pan maybe, although Thor is stereo, I know Subtractor is mono. I'm not sure.
I have used FL Studio, Logic and Ableton and have not noticed the same thing at all. Especially when you use some of the vst's. They blow you away with texture and thickness and sound really professional straight away.
I may be imagining this don't know. Maybe it's psychological since I heard of this 'Reason Sound' thing.
Anyone else shed any light here? I'm gonna do a trial of the Mono/Poly later to see if sounds the same through my headphones.
Thanks!
