anyone here using Propellerhead's Reason 2? i've been
thinking about downloading the demo and giving it a shot,
but i wondered if it's worth it.

any opinions on it?

hehehe

just kidding

well, the new sampler is fucking great, the new synth is
fucking great, and there is now sync options for all the
lfos/rates, which is very useful.

It's cool for the grnular thing. It's a replicator of aphex
and autechre though, there's nothing new.

With the malestrom and its graintable synthesis you can get
practically anysound out of it. The sampler is EXCELLENT!
And if you use reason II creativly you can make some neat
sounds and not "replicate of aphex
and autechre".

don't forget, reason doesn't support vst/dx...


 

offline Mickey Mouse from The Moon on 2002-11-08 01:41 [#00432738]
Points: 4130 Status: Addict



it has rewire.... making anything you make in reason sent to
a sequencer app which the vst/dx.. plugins can be
applied.... dont forget that


 

offline Mickey Mouse from The Moon on 2002-11-08 01:42 [#00432739]

but I wish that it had internal vst support... that would
make is such a better program.....

Wow, I was going to give it a try, but w/o internal VST I
don't think I'll bother. I love my VST plugins :)

me

Points: 23533 Status: Moderator | Followup to J-HOK: #00432772 | Show recordbag



What actually does ableton Live do? I've read descriptions,
but it's not very clear. Is it a sequencing/fx package?


 

offline J-HOK on 2002-11-08 02:57 [#00432786]
Points: 904 Status: Addict



its an audio sequencer, similar to acid. But the cool thing
about it is the ability to trigger different sections of
your track by midi or even the computer keyboard.

www.ableton.com has a demo.

plus it works with rewire and vst effects. Actual artists
are involved in the design rather than just programmers, so
it works beautifully

Ah, thanks, I used to use Acid a lot, it was the first
package I really got into.

So you can say, assign a loop to a key then press that key
to trigger it? Sounds cool.

I like floops, but I dislike the limitations of using it as
a "live" instrument...

I'll check out the demo tonight.

CERI JC!!! you see it, floops sucks for live things, it's so
sad, i don't see why the programmers give us a midi note
trigger function... it would be nicest thing ever ...

I know, all you can do is knob twiddle effects or change the
song layout (with a mouse, s'yeah, right!) whilst it's
playing. Which seems a bit of a cheat- it's more akin to
being behind a mixing desk than actually "playing" live :)

Sorry, I turned avatars off when in work due to certain
people (naming no names, Meho...) having "rude" pictures. I
often don't understand posts for the same reason :P

What's the little rabbit in yours from? It's cute...

What's the blue thing on your desk? It looks like a big
graphics tablet...

I just realised what your rabbit reminded me of - those
miffy the rabbit books & cartoons. Have you seen them?

Dragons should not be allowed to spend endless nights on a
BBC Micro trying to make it beep. I may have rattled my
reptilian mind. :/

It's Friday, I'm trying to cap the fact I'm hyper.

I wish! I'd love to do that... I'm good with my paws but not
with programming. No I was trying to do something else but
messing around with it for a long time makes me see white
text when I close my eyes.

I'd rather get a new Amiga to connect to here but currently
I'm at work on a slow day.

radio. What a computer...

Hmm, I was only a hatchling when you could do that. I do
recall the chat program in Teletext with the four digit
codes tho.

I remember listening to the radio and hearing beepmaps or
noise. I used to listen to that more then the music
stations.

the bbc computer program (cant remember the name) also

everyone else to turn the volume down *LOL*

I don't remember that. I wish I could experience all that
over again. I miss them a lot.

My friend made a program called Strobe for the BBC Micro,
You could close out all the light in your room and run this
program to act like a strobe light at a rave. We thought it
kicked ass but others didn't see the beauty of it.
