Okay, I got Reason 2.5 the other day, along with a Radium 49 key MIDI controller. I have a few questions about some problems I'm having with it.
First, the keyboard came with a CD called Reason Adapted Express. It's basically Reason Lite, it's a version of Reason that has a lot less synths and sounds. It works just fine, I press a key, the sound is played.
However, I don't want to use Reason Adapted Express when I have Reason 2.5, which is the full thing. But when I load that up, I press a note, and the note echoes a few times. I press a key, and the sound plays, then plays a little lower, then plays a little lower, and fades out as the note repeats itself. Has anyone else experienced this problem and can help me out, or point me to a site that covers this stuff?
My other problem is the SOUNDS in Reason. I was using a video tutorial on todaysbeats.com and he loaded a patch called BassQue on the SubTractor. He played it, and it had a very deep, bassy sound to it, like one would expect. I load mine, and it sounds a lot different. If I play it on a lower octave, it sounds closer to what it should, but for some reason I get the feeling that it sounds different than it should. As a matter of fact, all the bass patches on the SubTractor sound the same for me. What could be wrong?
Thirdly, what are the benefits of upgrading my sound card? Will it make my synths sound better?
Thanks in advance to anyone that helps.
