propellerheads are soon gonna announce something new/ The Reason 5 thread

[DaNOC]

The reverb is kong is dope but I prefer to use it with tom drums and a few claps my main reverb is rv7000 do cats realize that record and reason is giving its user 3 seperate reverbs, 4 different types of eqs, 4 different compressors, and like 7 different types of filters, delays, pitch correction, 2 different time stretches for audio and midi clips, new pattern based sequencing for quicker song arrangment, cv control, a new multiloop player, 4 different samplers, 3 different synths,remote feature for automatic setup with midi controllers, live sampling, comp tool, vocoder, regroove mixer for amazing grooves and swings, explode function (most slept on feature) 3 different mixers ( 14:3, line mixer,ssl mixer). Audio merger, cv merger, a arp, matrix tool, combinator to combine everything I just name, a limiter and stereo widner, all of that with no hiccups and amazing stability, like serious what more could a person ask for when it comes to making music. Cats are spoiled these days.

WHAT IN THE HELL MR GIBBS!

Man what you just posted put me in tears man, that is so dang on sweet I don't know what to do lol :rofl: HOld up my dude, you said "3 DIFFERENT REVERBS?" I know the RV7000 and I seen that one on Kong, you mean to tell me there's another one?

Yo rockin Toms in my music is hot, I love putthing those in there, especially my HipHop and RnB tracks. Man you got me drooling right now dammmmmmmmmmm!

You and I talked about the explode I love that feature that is the bomb right there!

Yes I thought about the 2 different type of time stretches they gave us, the one where you can stretch the whole track just by hitting the tempo button for up or down, and the one you take a clip and stretch it the length of say your drum pattern, you just hit command I believe and pull it with the mouse, that is off the chain! IT'S A WRAP!

You get two stereo widners yep, one in the MClass suite which I use a lot, and the one on the SSL board and that joint works just like the SSL 9000k Yo and when you pan just a lil on the SSL mixer you can hear it and make your tracks spatial for real and it sounds good!

I can't wait to hook up my Avalon and my Nuemann mic to the 003Rack and record lyrics inside of Record!

What you said is true, we just need the editing with a couple of things and it's a wrap! Trust me I can do a lot with that, and it's on. Thanks alot for the list that puts in the faces what we really have, and should be thankful.

2010 really is a good year for electronic music production.

it's hard though...being literally FLOODED w/ so many tools...each w/ specific strong points.

our tools burden us w/ pushing the limits...

why is pushing limits so rejected in music, but so accepted in other forms of art?

does all art have to "conform" in one way or another for it to be "marketable"?

or should artists create w/ their own creative interest in mind? manifesting art that may be completely foreign to listeners / observers??? (therefore jeopardizing the PROFITABILITY of said art in question)

ARTISTICALLY / CREATIVELY...IS MUSIC BEING "HELD BACK" DUE TO "GIVING THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT"?

I agree with you, this Reason/Record thing is going to push us further. I never thought I would do Urban/Euro/Dance music myself, there is a huge market for that, for TV/Films/Games etc.

I feel on the holding the art back thing. See Major companies and those higher excecutives love to follow a trend to be in a safe place instead of looking into the art and going solo. Most of them just sit behend the desk and wait on the A&R. They don't want to take chances.
Now the best way to get your individual art out is
1. Get with an independent label that believes in your art
2. DO IT YOUR GOT DERN SELF! Don't depend on others and Record/Reason puts us right in the drivers seat to do that, we have the tools. You can make up your track, get it mastered, give it to your contacts, hit the clubs or whatever and bam! Trust me you make enough noise those majors will come hunting after you. It's been like this for a while now, and you call the shots.

Trust me I just turned down a publishing company because they want exclusive rights, and I told my attorney no, I don't work under exclusive rights unless they are planning to give me a HUGE sum of money and if not, ta ta! So I am dealing and looking into a couple of more I feel good, they don't call the shots! It's my talent, I get to call the shots.

yeah right, Paul is giong to make Ron FOUL OUT! lol You know Paul is a specialist at that lol

I was about to say the same thing lol hahahah but I have one last bug to put in your ear BYNUM HAS KNEE PROBLEMS

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Yo X, what you think about this as an addition to Props update, because I suggested to James Benard, we talk all the time so.......

How about better editing, like when zooming in the waves fit to screen so you can see it better. They did a wonderful job zooming but it's ONLY HORIZONTAL! They need it to do both , Horo, and Vertico, so you can see it bigger like Protools, and not cause eye problems.

Plus how about this, have editing like strip silence put in it so you can clean between audio transients and it will even sound better, a person's track coming through that SSL mixer. I was cleaning up this track but I had to do it by mouse, thank Allah I didn't have that many tracks and the way I did it sounded dope, video coming soon. So what you think?

I wish the sample editor was a more in depth editor. i also wish u could export multiple samples from one sample w/o having to duplicate or even export to Rex. Those would all be useful especially for someone like me who really likes the Dr Rex

I'm just going to say this about reason/record and vst, one of my favorite hip hop albums of all time was done in a basement and it was considered a hiphop classics to this day no vsts no plugins just a few hardware racks a mic setup and mixing board this album is called enter the 36 chambers by wu tang clan. So for me with everything that comes with reason is more than enough to make classic music so I don't want to hear anymore talk with this real daw talk

thats actually a great point. A lot of my favorite songs were done on an SP1200 or a mpc60. We are spoiled by todays standards. People talk about limitations. I use an EPS classic standalone for everything. I know about a limitation kids are busy crying about vsti. GTFOH!

artists and commerical music go together like Soulja Boy and Rap skills lol

Hmmmmm X, I see what you wrote but I am not comprehending the export part that you spoke off. Would you mind explaining?

 

[cablitz]

reason 5 is going to be ridiculous. live sampling and the sample editing are the things that already have me. so does that mean no more recycle??? now if you can just see the waveforms in the song mode then i would not use anything else.

 

[Leo Buzz]

Can we now batch export is Reason 5?

Well, if you get to know the sampler and know how to edit your samples you won't need recycle. But if you plan on rocking Dr. Octo Rex then you need to convert samples in Recycle into Rex files and that's when you need it, I need Recycle on that level but don't need it for chopping or anything like that.

what do you mean by batch export Leo?

 

[Leo Buzz]

I mean exporting each and every track on separate tracks at once. At the moment you can only do this in Record but you can't do so in Reason. With reason you have to mute some tracks to exclusively export one track. People end to do this when they are sending their beats/songs to get mixed by a professional mix engineer. At the moment exporting tracks from reason is tedious bro, tedious

Oh Yeah I get it now, yeah I was on that boat when I was using reason because I didn't like rewire. Yes I use to do one by one, mute one and make sure the start line cursor was at the beginning lol I remember those days. Now I got Record and the way that batches out is ridiculous. Bro you can forget it, their now putting that in Reason because they want you to get Record so you can forget it lol That's their marketing, somethings they will put in Record, Reason won't have and some things they put in Reason, Record won't have, but if you get both (which i have) you will get full function. If I were you I would get Record that exporting is so so sweet! They give you lots of options and you can export a 4 minute track in less than 15 seconds! Oh in the 1.0.1 update man the import is ridiculous in Record. you can import 30 tracks simultaneously! Record will make the tracks for you when you import like that, it's off the chain, and you can do wav and aiff! Get that and you will be straight! I'm like this go for the whole thng! GET BOTH! You only live once!

 

[Leo Buzz]

You know what I might actually get it,if i save up £50 a month, should be able to get it by september. Thanks bro

 

[mrgibbs]

ok now i just want to say that most of the user that complain about reason's 5 update arent' even registered users at the props site. so i can't take there opinion seriously because they didn't even purchase the products. i so wish the props made reason license for the dongle. because then i would have to see so many thready of people critizing software that they didnt even pay for.

Man what you just posted put me in tears man, that is so dang on sweet I don't know what to do lol HOld up my dude, you said "3 DIFFERENT REVERBS?" I know the RV7000 and I seen that one on Kong, you mean to tell me there's another one?

yeah the the rv7000, the the rv7 and the reverb in kong. not to mention that custom reverbs you can create with the combinator.

 

[Xabiton]

Hmmmmm X, I see what you wrote but I am not comprehending the export part that you spoke off. Would you mind explaining?

basically id rather highlight a chop of say a kick drum and export it with the way this sampler works i dont think u can do that. thats how i worked on my Mpc. the i would move on to the next sample and export it.

i dont think so not without Record but the beta does not export. GO rewire!

Recycle is still a lot easier in some ways. The editor is cool if u just want something there as an option

what do you mean by batch export Leo?

i can edit samples anyway and I love Recycle lol. I dont think it has anything to do with a lack of know how. I mean yeah Recycle has autochop but imo it doesn't do a great job

 

[DaNOC]

I can do chopping in either PT or Record, right in the sequencer/edit section. Like you said kicks, snares etc. I like to do that in Record because I like to tweak and get a certain sound and export easily out of Record. If I am not looking to tweak I hit up PT. I only use Recycle when I want something to be a Rex file. Man it's just so beautiful that we have so many options, it's a great day!

Oh ok. Well I never use the RV7 though lol

 

[kb420]

Personally, I use Sound Forge to "chop" samples. I can also chop in Live, but I can actually open Sound Forge inside of Live. I do all of my slicing in Live.

But if you plan on rocking Dr. Octo Rex then you need to convert samples in Recycle into Rex files and that's when you need it, I need Recycle on that level but don't need it for chopping or anything like that.

I'm talking about being closer to an all in one product because I always been sampling but bouncing back from program to program has been sort of annoying since I was coming from an mpc. This is perhaps the closest thing to it. And I feel you on the Dr. Octo but I end up using the NNXT because of the editing.

 

[[F_or_DEAF]]

i so wish the props made reason license for the dongle

yeah...doens't make much sense to NOT have a dongle for Reason 5...kinda makes you wonder WHY NOT.

 

[Xabiton]

yeah...doens't make much sense to NOT have a dongle for Reason 5...kinda makes you wonder WHY NOT.

because people had a huge problem with dongles think about how many people said they wouldnt get reason 5 if it had a dongle. reason 6 will likely have one i think

 

[kb420]

because people had a huge problem with dongles think about how many people said they wouldnt get reason 5 if it had a dongle. reason 6 will likely have one i think

The people who had the biggest problems with dongles were the ones who got their software from Pirate Bay.

 

[[F_or_DEAF]]

ok...well forget a PHYSICAL dongle...

Reason 5 should have the "e-verification" just like Record, if that's the case..

 

[Xabiton]

I saw most of the complaints on the props forums the area where u have to have purchased the software to get into. Them fanboys are hardcore Im surprised they would have cared but they do

[[F_or_DEAF]]

I hate the E verification

just sayin'...Reason 5 should have SOME TYPE of dongle / verification...but like you said...maybe Reason 6 will come w/ that...
