Kay. A lot of people (including myself) have problems with the way reason renders its audio, and have issues with shelling out cash for Cubase. Here is an alternative:
V-Stack
Lets you run rewire programs through the cubase rendering engine. Its only around $100 too, so you don't need to get skinned in cash to get good sound. Its reduced processor usage compared to cubase, so if your computer is slow, it makes things easier.
Relatively easy to use. All you have to do is turn on the according reason channels, and its done.

I was actually working on a couple things just to spam here today. I want to have the samples online tomorrow.
Not really album stuff, just random bits (I like to work on concept albums, which take me a long time to never finish)

Listen to one of my old songs then. I call them songs because there's no singing, hence "song".
http://artists.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/wmw/
I want an in depth review of "my bloody vacuum cleaner 2" instantly. Use phrases like "best I've ever heard" "mind blowing" etc. but not any true phrases.

Lazy_Loop
There you go. First time in 4 years I have broken the pact I made with myself to spam unfinished music. This was made in reason being ran through vstack. Its just a 41 second long loop, so it doesn't have a beginning or end. Just me playing with the reason 3 soundbank. (waves maxbass and c1-compressor with the discoDSP eq30 plugins used for mastering)

The rendering in 2.5 is a lot better on my card/setup compared to Reason 1, but it's still nice to know about this.
It used to be bloody awful and instead I would 'play' tracks, whilst recording them to another physical disc, using wavelab.
Anyone know the reason(s) why Reason has such rendering problems? I'm sure it contributes to the general perception of it as a toy.

Ha! I had a feeling it'd be good since I liked you music in my mp3.com dork days. But this is GREAT! Really excellent.. I'd totally want a cd of stuff like this. It's, uh, "chill" but glitchy. Great quality. For some reason it reminds me of windowlicker.. not sure why, maybe sound quality "thickness" and punchyness?

Thnx. I am glad you like it.
Although the stuff I am working on mostly is more glitchy hiphop atmospheres... Less full, but more funk if you know what I mean. I like music that is spacious but has rhythm ;)

By the way, if anyone had trouble playing taxidermist's track, let me offer you this super technical advise that surely I only know: rename it to include ".mp3" at the end. It's really good, funkstorung quality basically, also depending on if there are some major glitches every once in awhile. Did my track ever download? I think iuma was having site problems the other day and I think it's a good track you might like.

Well, people have downloaded it, but they aren't responding. So I am guessing that its not their cup of tea, which is fair enough. Thanks for the good words though. After hiding so much (I literally don't show anybody my music nowadays, except occasionally my girlfriend) its nice to see that the work is appreciated :)
As for your thing, I like some of the things you were doing in your sounds,but the 8bit quality kind of interefered. I would have downloaded something else, but the upload speed was slow... :(

not everyone wants to read a topic about reason. If you made a topic specifically about your music more people could see how good it is.

Yeah. Sorry. I am really not interested in spamming. I don't read spam topics because its usually going to be something awefull to listen to, that leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. I don't want to clutter the board up with something I myself don't like.

Ahhh, well. You see when it comes to not only making a rather decent program they designed something that actually makes you creatively think about whatyou are doing. Rather than not handing to it you on a plate. The combinator to allows you to be creative and to use your imagination.
I think you are being a little shortsighted to be honest.

This makes me angry. I rarely need something to be handed to me on a plate. When I say reason is limited, I don't mean "wow... I really can't do much in here because I am not imaginative" What I mean is "there is a limit to the ammount of things you can do with this program because it is geared towards people who make fucking techno and drum and bass"
Its intentionally dumbed down for marketability. Why the fuck do you think all the demos are for trance and drumnbass??? if they ment if for other types of production, then they would design it for them. Why do you think all renderings from reason practically 'sound' the same? Because they try to make a product that renders things so they sound reasonably mastered reguardless of what fuckwit is using it. Unfortunately, they messed it up, and created something that might give the substandard artist something they might consider listenable, but if fucks up anyones work if their production capability might be slightly beyond the standard bullshit bedroom producer. I don't care what rhetoric you have to say about imagination, creativity or what have you. Quality is quality. And while reason may seem like a quality piece of software, it is no comparison to something like cubase, fruityloops or logic.
As an example, when fruityloops releases an upgraded edition, they throw things like multitracking, video playback (for writing scores), actually evelope automation (similar to the format in reason), enhanced rendering (so your music doesn't sound like shit when you play it for people), mathematical controlers, and a bunch of new synths that can do some really neat things. Reason adds a knob somewhere and some half assed filter and calls it a revolution.

The sequencer in reason is awfuls. I really can't stand it. I use an ancient version of cubaseVST, think its ver3 and that has all the functionality I could ever need, reason's sequencer is crap.
