Thanks for that and the detailed run-down.
I decided to buy Reason11 to use as a VST3 rack in Ableton Live 11.
I used to use Reason way back from versions 1 in 2000 to 3 in 2005 then moved to Live back in 2005/2006.

I really miss a whole load of Reasons FX and I really used to love Thor so I decided to buy it again.

I really miss custom patching of devices, mainly though.

Do you use any external VSTi/Reason extensions, or are you all "in the box" so to speak?

I'll have a squizz at your Reason file!
I love to see how others work!

Also, if you get a chance I'd love to hear what you think or my new track!

@QShunt @Quarl VST Support is what I missed, which is why I moved to Live primarily back then.

Before Reason I used a PC version of Logic (Logic Audio, Platinum, is what it used to be called) which had early VST support, but Reasons work-flow was enticing, So I sacrificed ye olde VSTs.

I used Live and Reason together for a while using ReWire, which I think is defunct now. It was problematic and crashed a lot, so I ended up using Live exclusively from then on.

Yeah it only took them twenty years to add that support for VSTs. lol!

I bought it so I now have access to Reasons full rack as a VSTi in Live and its absolutely f**king magical.

I'm rummaging through the multitude of synth/drum/octo/etc presets at the moment, seeing how much things have changed.

There's lots of inspiring shit in there!

If you ever upgrade to get VST support, I strongly recommend getting Vital Audio's Vital synthesizer.
Hell, even if you don't have VST ability, it includes a stand alone version that you can play via your midi kb, and sample it if you like.
It's free, and I've been favoring it over Serum because of how amazing it sounds and how powerful it is.

In fact, I'd say it's essential that anyone making any style of music, gets it!

No, I don't work for them, it's just THAT good.

Don't have Reason so maybe not much reason to download this pack but I did so regardless, maybe useful some day in the future. :) Thank you! Merry Christmas Quarl!

And lmao XD New header certainly gives some mixed open profile impressions! But: mostly good ones. Awesome mix.

Step one in starting a similar tradition here too now hmm. :)

Ah that's awesome. Do you watch the anime too? Curious how they compare in so. I was just talking about that to someone... personally I haven't gotten into either yet but looks amazing.

Cyberdevil 2020-12-25 13:45:35

Cool to know. :)

Ah is the manga all finished at this point? Heard a new season was on route anime-wise but maybe that's behind then... regarding mindfuck material: I love that type of stuff. Really think I'd enjoy this just need to take some extra time to watch it some day.

Ever seen Parasyte by any chance? Another possibly similarly deranged/somewhat dark/somewhat awesome one... but very different of course.

Whaaat, fake weeb? No such thing. :P Hope it is there then; you do enjoy it if it is! And there really is no other way to watch anime than with subs. :P Translated dialog doesn't seem to come across the same way, no matter how well they manage the enthusiasm/annunciation/all of them. IMHO! But that's probably all really just a matter of habit/what you grew up with.

Ah that's awesome. Good time to see it when it's finally all out there too then.
