Ok so I've been working with reason since 1.0, but now I'm stuck. I can't seem to get that cool sound I want out of malstrom and subtractor, and this is a huge hinderance for me since I'll then have to download samples. I don't know where to find cool samples. My problem is, I want to create the music I've always wanted to, but all the presets in malstrom sound very weak and thing, and not at all what I'm looking for. SO my question is, where can I find the equipment to find the sounds I always dreamt of? How can I create those sounds? Where do I find cool drum samples? How do I create my own drum samples that sound analogue and not digital? I can do music easily, program the notes, program the drum beats and such, it's very easy to be creative in Reason, but I have no idea how to create "my own sound". Any ideas appreciated. |

making your own synth patches is probably a good idea. |

Change music environments. I don't care what the reason fanatics have to say. Its inferior. Fruityloops is cheaper, more appropriate for sound design, and with all the free high quality vst plugins that are available, you can make professional quality music without the shitty interface. Here is a site for vst plugins. They litterally update this site hourly. |

Idealy, you want to use cubase. Here they are in order from least to most powerfull Reason Fruityloops Ableton Live Cubase |
||||||||
|

I disagree but that could be because I can't use Fruity Loops. |

can't ? why ? |

I advise you to learn first. It's fairly easy to comprehend and most of it is damn near universal - even if you're doing sampling or FM synthesis you're still using envelopes, LFOs and maybe filters too. |
||||||||

|

Everytime I try I just get frustrated at the fact it's.... shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is a great free little hybrid synth that has everything you need to learn the basics. has lots of patches for it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but WHY is it "shit" to you ? one of my mates keeps saying "fl is shit" but i haven't heard any finished track from him for years. he's experimenting with cubase/metaliser and is happy to achieve something like sq-pusher 180bpm loops. |

Synth 1 is a very nice free vst. get it. If you are looking for a certain sound or texture, experiment. *ps: dont diss the FLStudio |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what software do you use to make tracks ? e.g. how did you make e.g. "dreams of sheets" [if that's your track] |
||||||||
|

taxidermist! can you recommend me some nice vst plugins, usefull for fruityloops, from kvr??? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
FL is too restrictive imo... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you used version5? its really nice |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

|
it all depends on imagination i think. giginger, qrter ! answer, please ! |

lol fleetmouse you have a nice av, man you remind me of the one freshmouse |

hahah....alright. goodnight boys. *writes in his notebook : FL is shit* |

Heh... the thing is, both fruity and reason are shit... but fruity is not necessarily inferior. With the math controllers and full vst support, and the 64 channel mixer with open routing, and the granular sampler, and the wav traveller, and the different kinds of playback options in the standard sampler, its a good tool for sound design at a novice level. |

i belive qrter uses nuendo and giginger uses reason |

the best programs are max/msp logic 7.0 reaktor 4.0 |

a nord modular is nice the g2 in partic i just got the engine and it is fucking sweet (range of sounds is immense and it sits so nicely in a mix)goes nicely with ableton + with the right cabling and mixer(s) ive gotten the nord to process a 303 and get it to go into a spring reverb and back.... i think hardware lets you fuck around in amusing ways and is not likely to crash which is always nice to know. but if yr just bored of yr sounds something like max msp or reaktor is not too expensive considering the sounds you can get/imagine. |

just recently got cubase. been meaning to sit down with it and see what's what. for the time being, however, i'm very much a fruity little boy. it's all i've ever put any effort into. :*( |
||||||||

synth1 is my favourite synth |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I am starting a hardware setup, but I don't think I will ever get past sequencing it through cubase. I am cubase all the way. Reaktor is a good tool, but once again, its no environment... Max/MSP is a good tool too, but steep learning curve (ie: its difficult from the start, and doesn't seem to look like its getting any easier). I have only begun to play with max/msp. |

I'm getting a couple analogue synths. Ableton Live and a good laptop w/ a great soundcard. I've been waiting for ableton for years. It should only get cooler. |

If i could afford it, I would buy an alesis a6 andromeda |
