cant believe im posting this.....

so tomorrow Reason 5 and Record 1.5 come out, record is worthless to me (run cubase) but after watchin tutorials for some reason i cant wait to buy this ish and midi up my mpc, and im a hrdware guy!

I'm on the same boat bro. I am definitely buying reason 5. just off the sampling capabilities I'm down.

Reason sounds like crap, always has.

yeah I was thinking the same thing... I suspect he was using the integrated sound card..

dude prolly got a portable tape deck connected to the line out of a 10 year old desktop....

A bunch of joints I submitted on previous mixtapes use reson samples triggered by the 1k. He clearly doesnt know what he's talking about. I got some rock solid refills that hit hard as ph*ck. But poor engineering/production is never the cuplrit...everyone blames the software/hardware. All too common.

^^^excactly, yeah the stock sounds arent great, but you have the ability in reason to tweek every aspect of the sounds, my abbey road refill sounds better than my triton

You a funny guy. can you back it up? I have a feeling your music is weak and wont compare to mine. this goes to all who posted above this reply.

are you asking me to back up that my abbey road samples are better thn my triton? that ish was hyper sampled w/ vintage mics in the roads studio, the triton is just a sound engine not true samples.

can you back your side up? how does reason sound bad? it's easy to be vague like that with out saying what you mean.... what exactly makes it sound bad?

Sounds like firework is throwing on the gloves this morning.

Personally, software has never worked as well for me as hardware. Of course, that is a statement based purely on personal experience.

I'm ready to demo this shit already...nevermind. The demo is up.

yes, I have been a Reason user since version 2 and I am still on 4 right now. I do like many things about it, but I do agree that it isn't does lack a touch of natural sparkle until you eq the hell out of what you are running out of it.

I know I will get 5 because I like the look of a few things, especially the sampling side of matters.

Still, I rewire to Cubase, so I already have the best of both worlds, as far as I look at it.

Mind you, I have just built a new DAw Pc and seem to be getting a few odd anamolies with the midi ? After Cubase has been in use for a while, the midi data I record in has drifted all over the place and hasn't even recorded in the same way I've played it in ( no quantising is used in general ). Done some checks, but this is odd ... My two sound cards are set up and configured in the usual way ( Have an EMU 1820 and an RME, with a redundant 2496 sitting in the unit also ) . I am generally pretty much software savvy, but this really has me stumped at the moment ??

' I got some rock solid refills that hit hard as ph*ck '

Which refill packs are you using, Pounda ?
