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)

My first review is: "Your music could benifit from some
faster hosting. 7 minutes and its only 65% downloaded."

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?

That's fucking good. Sure is better than the shit everyone
else posts here. I wish my mind wasn't raped by the shitty
music they play at my work everyday.

:D

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 ;)

Well seeing as I have been asked by a bunch of people here
to share something, might as well bump this.

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.

I guess when the figure out a way to market an extra knob
installed into the combinator as a revolution.

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.

Besides, I didn't start this thread to talk about how shit
reason is, I started it to show people there is a better
tool to help their music sound better.

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.
