The FORESKIN !!!!!!

Some interesting points here. If I might add .... 1.AD/DA conversion plays a big role. For example a 16bit 44.1 khz top end Apogee AD/DA converter may very well yield better results than a lower end 24bit 96khz converter on the same recording. 2.Bit Depth along with AD/DA converter quality is IMHO f...

Hey, I really like the reason Drum mixer and found out how to use it with rewire but was not satisfied. The sound quality came out far worse when it was rewired and there was an anoying delay to the drums which throws the entire song off beat. Any ideas? 1. Start Live 2. Start Reason 3.Configure Ou...

Hello, I would like to buy a small mixer to incorporate into my set up. I have narrowed it down to 2. Either the Yamaha MG 10/2 or the Soundcraft Compact 4. Any opinions on them? Thanks Soundcraft Compact 4 has been working really well here for the last 12 months. Used to use a Mackie 1202 VLZ Pro....

Hey, I'm currently running Live 5 + Reason 3 on a 12" powerbook. I would like to get my hands on some decent soft synths for xmas, as I am progressively hatin how reason sounds. I'm upgradin to Live 6 soon, and have been lookin at some of the Native Instruments' products, which look pretty coo...

There is no "they have their place as creative sound designing tools" option so NO I haven't voted .

Depends on how you use them. I might program some glacial and very digital droning pad in Reason's Subtractor for example (one of it's strenghts to be honest) then sample some insane evolving crazy shit from Reaktor. Map it in NNXT and Vocode the two against each other and feed through a Multitap RE...

sure there´s a lot of reasonable things, like fun, challenge, therapy or just killing time. last not least a deep and sweet love to music itself. but sometimes me is discovering more weirder causes. like really hoping it will make me fuck with paris hilton someday. and not only her! Well ploy if th...

So people have basically over-exaggerated that having two dual hard-drives engenders 'blistering' performances all round? I thought that when your OS runs out of RAM, it sometimes distributes memory to the hard-disk. I just find using 2 external audio FW drives removes alot of the heat dispersion i...

Usually 92-96% Max . That said I generally never go over around 70% in any given composition but can push my Toshiba notebook that hard if needs be before resampling tracks etc etc .... That's amazing, how can it be so different? What's your machine specs? Toshiba Satellite P20 17" wxga Notebo...

At $99 you should buy it as a Christmas present to yourself .
Having a blast with it today BTW .

On the strength of your positive review I will probably buy it. I love Reason 3 and the combinator concept has made it brilliant. I hope I like it as much as you obviously do. Here's a review from Synthopia I've cut and pasted ..quite good too. Seriously Astral Fridge Magnet this is one great refil...
